from pride and prejudice
by jane austen
elizabeth felt herself growing more angry every moment, yet she tried to the
utmost to speak with composure when she said, \you are mistaken,
mr. darcy, if you suppose that the mode of your declaration affected me in
any other way, than as it spared me the concern which i might have felt in
refusing you, had you behaved in a more gentleman - like manner.\ she saw
him start at this, but he said nothing, and she continued, \you could not have
made me the offer of your hand in any possible way that would have
tempted me to accept it.\
again his astonishment was obvious; and he looked at her with an
expression of mingled incredulity and mortification. she went on. \from the
very beginning, from the first moment i may almost say, of my acquaintance
with you, your manners impressing me with the fullest belief of your
arrogance, your conceit, and your selfish disdain of the feelings of others,
were such as to form that ground - work of disapprobation, on which
succeeding events have built so immovable a dislike; and i had not known
you a month before i felt that you were the last man in the world whom i
could ever be prevailed on to marry.\
