Английское слово lady перевод на русский язык.

Mr. Collins listened to her with the determined air of following his own inclination, and when she ceased speaking, replied thus:

“My dear Miss Elizabeth, I have the highest opinion in the world of your excellent judgment in all matters within the scope of your understanding,

but permit me to say that there must be a wide difference between the established forms of ceremony amongst the laity, and those which regulate the clergy;

for, give me leave to observe that I consider the clerical office as equal in point of dignity with the highest rank in the kingdom—provided that a proper humility of behaviour is at the same time maintained.

You must therefore allow me to follow the dictates of my conscience on this occasion, which leads me to perform what I look on as a point of duty.

Pardon me for neglecting to profit by your advice, which on every other subject shall be my constant guide, though in the case before us I consider myself more fitted by education and habitual study to decide on what is right than a young lady like yourself.”
