P&P 9: 19-2

"Elizabeth, as they drove along, watched for the first appearance of Pemberly woods with some perturbation; and when at length they turned in at the lodge, her spirits were in a high flutter" (239)

Elizabeth is excited about seeing Pemberly, but doesn't really like the fact that it has to do with Darcy. But, maybe her 'spirits a high flutter' because she actually wanted to see Darcy there. She says that she doesn't and that the only reason why she's going is because she was told he is not going to be there, but maybe the only reason why she is going is because she is hoping to see Darcy there and to talk about his letter.

Throughout the novel so far, the reader can infer:

a) nothing
b) the Bennet sisters may not marry within their social status
c) children do exactly what their parents want
d) all people of all classes associate
