Mrs. Bennet was PROFUSE in her acknowledgments.

Whatever bears AFFINITY to cunning is despicable.

"I honour your CIRCUMSPECTION. A fortnight's acquaintance is certainly very little."

"I can guess the subject of your REVERIE." "I should imagine not."

The village of Longbourn was only one mile from Meryton; a most convenient distance for the young ladies, who were usually tempted thither three or four times a week, to pay their duty to their aunt and to a MILLINER’S shop just over the way.

They could talk of nothing but officers; and Mr. Bingley’s large fortune, the mention of which gave animation to their mother, was worthless in their eyes when opposed to the regimentals of an ENSIGN.

“I admire the activity of your BENEVOLENCE,” observed Mary, “but every impulse of feeling should be guided by reason; and, in my opinion, exertion should always be in proportion to what is required.”

Miss Bingley was ENGROSSED by Mr. Darcy, her sister scarcely less so; and as for Mr. Hurst, by whom Elizabeth sat, he was an indolent man, who lived only to eat, drink, and play at cards; who, when he found her to prefer a plain dish to a ragout, had nothing to say to her.

Why must she be SCAMPERING about the country, because her sister had a cold?

To this speech Bingley made no answer; but his sisters gave it their hearty assent, and indulged their MIRTH for some time at the expense of their dear friend’s vulgar relations.

“I would not be so FASTIDIOUS as you are,” cried Mr. Bingley, “for a kingdom! Upon my honour, I never met with so many pleasant girls in my life as I have this evening; and there are several of them you see uncommonly pretty.”

A regard for the requester would often make one readily YIELD to a request, without waiting for arguments to reason one into it.
