But I must not further interrupt you, sir! I only wish to tell you once more how highly gratified I have been by your superior dancing; allow me also to say that your fair partner does not disgrace you. It is a great pleasure to see you together. I must hope to--to have this pleasure often repeated, especially when a certain desirable event, my dear Miss Eliza, (Glancing at BINGLEY and JANE, who are talking earnestly together at the back of the scene.) shall take place. What congratulations will then flow in: but let me not interrupt you--you will not thank me, Mr. Darcy, for detaining you from the bewitching converse of that young lady, whose bright eyes are also upbraiding me!
