Colonel Fitzwilliam reminded Elizabeth of having promised to play to him, and she sat down directly to the instrument. He drew a chair near her and making, with his usual deliberation towards the pianoforte, stationed himself so as to command a full view of the fair performers countenance. Elizabeth saw what he was doing and at the first convenient pause, turned to him with an arch smile and said, You mean to frighten me, Mr Darcy, By coming in all this state to hear me, there is a stubbornness about me that never can bear to be frightened at the will of others. My courage always rises at every attempt to intimidate me. I shall not say you are mistaken, he replied, because you could not really believe me to entertain any design of alarming. You and I have had the pleasure of your acquaintance long enough to know that you find great enjoyment and occasionally professing opinions, which in fact are not your own. I am particularly unlucky in meeting with a person so able to expose my real character in a part of the world where I had hoped to pass myself off with some degree of credit indeed, Mr Darcy. It is very ungenerous in you to mention all that you knew to my disadvantage in Hartford cheer.
