Chapter II of Volume III (Chap. 44)ELIZABETH had settled it that Mr. Darcy would bring his sister to visit her the very day after her reaching Pemberley; and was consequently resolved not to be out of sight of the inn the whole of that morning. But her conclusion was false; for on the very morning after their own arrival at Lambton, these visitors came.

Indeed, whyshould we not rather admire a Creative Power so infinite in itsvariety that it never ceases to produce entirely differentcombinations with precisely the same elements? The more oneconsiders this prodigious versatility of form, the more overwhelming...
THE MYSTERIOUS PORTRAITPART INowhere did so many people pause as before the little picture-shop inthe Shtchukinui Dvor. This little shop contained, indeed, the mostvaried collection of curiosities. The pictures were chieflyoil-paintings covered with dark varnish, in frames of dingy yellow.Winter scenes with white trees; very red sunsets, like ragingconflagrations, a Flemish boor, more like a turkey-cock in cuffs thana human being, were the prevailing subjects. To these must be added a...

刚认识丁灵那会儿,北京还常下大雨,我还很习惯冒雨回家。一个朋友的饭局上我第一次认识了丁灵,那年夏天开始,她成了我的第一个女友。那次饭局时,丁灵坐在我的旁边,我朋友告诉我,丁灵和她旁边另一个女孩都是他以前的同学,于是我就和她随便聊了几句,其实后来想起来,我似乎没和她说几句话,那天吃着饭时就下起了雨,那两个女生都带了雨伞,于是走的时候,我和朋友拿了丁灵那把相对大些的伞,后来那伞我打回了家,随手放在了哪却再也找不到了……几天后的一个下午,我接到了一个电话,她说她叫丁灵,我半天才想起来她是谁,却怎样也想不起她的样子。顺便说一句,我对长相还行的姑娘有种习惯性失忆,名字和长相一类的东西转眼就忘,反而是难看的记的深点,我总结后认为难看的姑娘给人带来的感观和心理刺激要成倍的高于美女。...
