Английское слово indeed перевод на русский язык.

Mr. Collins was punctual to his time, and was received with great politeness by the whole family.

Mr. Bennet indeed said little; but the ladies were ready enough to talk, and Mr. Collins seemed neither in need of encouragement, nor inclined to be silent himself.

He was a tall, heavy-looking young man of five and twenty. His air was grave and stately, and his manners were very formal.

He had not been long seated before he complimented Mrs. Bennet on having so fine a family of daughters, said he had heard much of their beauty,

but that, in this instance, fame had fallen short of the truth;

and added, that he did not doubt her seeing them all in due time disposed of in marriage.

This gallantry was not much to the taste of some of his hearers,

but Mrs. Bennet, who quarreled with no compliments, answered most readily,

“You are very kind, I am sure; and I wish with all my heart it may prove so;

for else they will be destitute enough. Things are settled so oddly.”
