From Pride and Prejudice, a play founded on Jane Austen's novel by Steele, Mrs. MacKaye

Care of him? Yes, I really believe Darcy does take care of him. From something he has told me, I have reason to think Bingley very much indebted to him. (Stopping.) But I ought to beg his pardon, for I have no right to suppose that Bingley was the person meant. (ELIZABETH: What is it you mean?) It is a circumstance which, of course, Darcy could not wish to be generally known, because if it were to get round to the lady's family it would be an unpleasant thing. (ELIZABETH: You may depend upon my not mentioning it.) And, remember, that I haven't much reason for supposing it to be Bingley. What he told me was merely this: that he congratulated himself on having lately saved a friend from the inconveniences of a most imprudent marriage, but without names or any other particulars, and I only suspected it to be Bingley from believing him to be the kind of young man to get into a scrape of that sort.
