Pride and Prejudice. Jane Austen, Chapter 26 Mrs Garden is cautioned to Elizabeth was punctually and kindly given on the first favourable opportunity of speaking to her alone. After honestly telling her what she saw. She sauce went on. You are too sensible a girl. Is he Biffle in love merely because you are warned against it. And therefore I am not afraid of speaking openly. Seriously, I would have you be on your guard. Do not involve yourself or endeavour to involve him in an affection which they want a fortune. What makes so very imprudent? I have nothing to say against him. He is a most interesting young man. And if he had the fortune, he ought to have. I should think you could not do better. But as it is, you must not let your fancy run away with you. You have sense and we all expect you to use it. Your father would depend on your resolution in good conduct. I am sure you must not disappoint your father. My dear aunt, this is being serious. Indeed. Yes. And I hope to engage you to be serious. Likewise. Well, then you need not be under any alarm. I will take care of myself. End of Mister Wickham too. He should not be in love with me if I can prevent it. Elizabeth, you are not serious now. I beg your Politan. I will try again. At present, I am not in love with Mr Wickham Low. I most certainly am not. But he is beyond all comparison, the most agreeable man I have ever saw. And if he becomes really attached to me, I believe it will be better that he should not. I see the imprudence of that abominable Mr Darcy.

But since we see every day where there is affection, young people are seldom withheld by immediate want of fortune from entering into engagements with each other. How could I promise to be wiser than so many of my fellow creatures? If I am tempted or how am I even to know? But it will be wisdom to resist all the taken promise you therefore, is not to be in a hurry. I will not be in a hurry to believe myself his first object. When I am in company with him, I will not be wishing. In short, I will do my best. Perhaps it will be as well if you discourages coming here so very often. At least you should not remind your mother of inviting him. As I did the other day said Elizabeth was a conscious smile. Very true. It would be wise and me to refrain from that, but did not imagine that he is always here so often. It is on your account that he has been so frequently invited this week. You know my mother's ideas as to the necessity of constant company for her friends. But really and upon my honour I will try to do what I think is the wisest. And now I hope you are satisfied. Her aunt assured her that she wass on Elizabeth, having thanked her for the kindness of her. Hence they parted a wonderful instance of advice being given on such a point without being resented
