Chapter 14
Lady Catherine herself says that in point of true beaty, Miss De Bourgh is far superior to the handsomest of her sex, because there is that in her features which marks the young woman of distinguish birth. ? ? ? ? ? ––Jane Austen
凱瑟琳夫人說過:就真正的美麗而言,德·包爾小姐遠勝于這世上最美的女子蹈丸,因為一看就知道她有與眾不同的出身。
––簡·奧斯汀
Outline:
When the servants were withdrawn, Mr. Bennet started to have some conversation about Lady Catherine with Mr. Collin.
After that conversation, Mr. Collin read Fordyce’s Sermons to the ladies, and Lydia interrupted him because she can’t endure his monotonous solemnity. And Collin felt be much offended.
