1
This came just now from Netherfield, ma'am.
2
Thank you.
3
This is from Caroline Bingley.
4
She writes that the whole party will have left Netherfield by now for London and without any intention of coming back again.
5
My brother Charles at first thought that the business which takes him to London might be concluded in a few days.
6
But we are certain that this cannot be served.
7
I'm convinced that when Charles gets to town, he'll be in no hurry to leave it again.
8
I do not pretend to regret anything I shall leave in Hertfordshire, my dearest friend.
9
Except your society.
10
Mr. Darcy, of course, is impatient to see his sister.
11
My sister, and to confess the truth, I am scarcely less eager to meet her again from the hope I dare to entertain of her being hereafter.
12
My sister, am I wrong, my dearest Jane, in indulging the hope of an event which will secure the happiness of so many?
13
Is it not clear enough?
14
Caroline Bingley is convinced her brother is indifferent to me, and she means most kindly to put me on my guard.
15
Oh, Lizzie, can there be any other opinion on the subject?
16
Yes, there can.
17
Miss Bingley sees that her brother is in love with you, and she wants him to marry Miss Darcy.
18
She hopes to keep him in town and persuade you that he does not care about you.
19
Indeed, Jane.
20
You ought to believe me.
21
No one who has seen you and Bingley together can doubt his affection.
22
I cannot believe Caroline is capable of willful deceit.
23
All I can hope for in this case is that she is deceived herself.
24
I will believe her to be deceived by all means, but she can hardly convince a man so much in love that he is in love with someone else instead.
25
If Bingley is not back by your side and dining at Longbourn within two weeks, I should be very much surprised.

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
