"she was persuaded to believe herself in love, and to consent to an elopement. She was then but fifteen, which must be her excuse; and after stating her imprudence, I am happy to add that I owed the knowledge of it to herself."

ID she:

"But vanity, not love, has been my folly. Pleased with the preference of one, and offended by the neglect of the other, on the very beginning of our acquaintance, I have courted prepossession and ignorance, and driven reason away, where either were concerned. Till this moment I never knew myself."

ID speaker:

"I certainly have not the talent which some people possess," said ________, "of conversing easily with those I have never seen before. I cannot catch their tone of conversation, or appear interested in their concerns, as I often see done."

ID speaker

"You could not have made me the offer of your hand in any possible way that would have tempted me to accept it."

ID "you":

Travel plans for the Gardiners and Elizabeth were originally for:

"But of this answer _________ heard not a word. She seldom listened to anybody for more than half a minute, and never attended to Mary at all."

ID speaker:

They have not the same force or rapidity, and do not produce the same expression. But then I have always supposed it to be my own fault -- because I would not take the trouble of practising. It is not that I do not believe my fingers as capable as any other woman's of superior execution."

Who is Elizabeth really scolding here by discussing her lack of practice?

"Our habits of expence make us too dependant, and there are not many in my rank of life who can afford to marry without some attention to money."

ID speaker:

"There is but one part of my conduct in the whole affair on which I do not reflect with satisfaction; it is, that I condescended to adopt the measures of art so far as to conceal ___________"

ID he:

"What he told me was merely this: that he congratulated himself on having lately saved a friend from the inconveniences of a most imprudent marriage . . ."

"I have told Miss Bennet several times that she will never play really well unless she practices more; and though Mrs. Collins has no instrument, she is very welcome, as I have often told her, to come to Rosings every day, and play on the piano forte in Mrs. Jenkinson's room. She would be in nobody's way, you know, in that part of the house."

ID speaker

"__________ letter she was in a fair way of soon knowing by heart. She studied every sentence; and her feelings towards its writer were at times widely different."
