Lady Catherine observed, after dinner, that Miss Bennet seemed out of spirits; and immediately accounting for it herself, by supposing that she did not like to go home again so soon, she added,
``But if that is the case, you must write to your mother to beg that you may stay a little longer. Mrs. Collins will be very glad of your company, I am sure.''
``I am much obliged to your ladyship for your kind invitation,'' replied Elizabeth, ``but it is not in my power to accept it. -- I must be in town next Saturday.''
``Why, at that rate, you will have been here only six weeks. I expected you to stay two months. I told Mrs. Collins so before you came. There can be no occasion for your going so soon. Mrs. Bennet could certainly spare you for another fortnight.''
``But my father cannot. -- He wrote last week to hurry my return.''
