They were , therefore , to go . Elizabeth was pleased ; though when she asked herself the reason , she had very little to say in reply . Mr. Gardiner left them soon after breakfast . The fishing scheme had been renewed the day before , and a positive engagement made of his meeting some of the gentlemen at Pemberley before noon . Convinced as Elizabeth now was that Miss Bingley 's dislike of her had originated in jealousy , she could not help feeling how unwelcome her appearance at Pemberley must be to her , and was curious to know with how much civility on that lady 's side the acquaintance would now be renewed . On reaching the house , they were shown through the hall into the saloon , whose northern aspect rendered it delightful for summer . Its windows opening to the ground , admitted a most refreshing view of the high woody hills behind the house , and of the beautiful oaks and Spanish chestnuts which were scattered over the intermediate lawn .
