MRS. HURST
I thought you promised me that you wouldn't take an interest
in Elizabeth Bennet.
DARCY
Well, once she's gone I don't expect to see her again.
MRS. HURST
Except at the ball.
DARCY
Oh yes, the ball.
MRS. HURST
You won't dance with her, will you?
DARCY
Louisa, why are you so concerned with my affairs? Shouldn't you
be worrying about your brother?
MRS. HURST
Caroline is getting hard to live with now that she has a rival.
DARCY
Oh, good grief, Louisa. A rival for what?
MRS. HURST
Well, you can sort that one out yourself with Caroline at
some point. For the time being I think you should avoid Miss
Elizabeth's company and take Charles out shooting or riding all day
long.
DARCY
Well, then please make an effort to keep your sister away from me.
MRS. HURST
I'm sure you'll find it easy to avoid Miss Elizabeth at the ball.
You can keep my husband company in the billiard room.
