“你连在宫里都不肯赏脸吗?”
“无论在什么地方,我也不愿意赏这种脸,能避免总是避免。”
"Certainly, sir; and it has the advantage also of being in vogue amongst the less polished societies of the world. Every savage can dance. "
Sir William only smiled. "Your friend performs delightfully, " he continued after a pause, on seeing Bingley join the group; "and I doubt not that you are an adept in the science yourself, Mr. Darcy. "
"You saw me dance at Meryton, I believe, sir. "
"Yes, indeed, and received no inconsiderable pleasure from the sight. Do you often dance at St. James's?"
"Never, sir. "
"Do you not think it would be a proper compliment to the place?"
"It is a compliment which I never pay to any place if I can avoid it. "
"You have a house in town, I conclude?"
Mr. Darcy bowed.
"I had once had some thought of fixing in town myself--for I am fond of superior society; but I did not feel quite certain that the air of London would agree with Lady Lucas. "
