"I do not blame Jane," she continued, "for Jane would have got Mr. Bingley, if she could. But, Lizzy! Oh, sister! it is very hard to think that she might have been Mr. Collins's wife by this time, had not it been for her own perverseness. He made her an offer in this very room, and she refused him. The consequence of it is, that Lady Lucas will have a daughter married before I have, and that Longbourn estate is just as much entailed as ever. The Lucases are very artful people indeed, sister. They are all for what they can get. I am sorry to say it of them, but so it is. It makes me very nervous and poorly, to be thwarted so in my own family, and to have neighbours who think of themselves before anybody else. However, your coming just at this time is the greatest of comforts, and I am very glad to hear what you tell us, of long sleeves."

Mrs. Gardiner, to whom the chief of this news had been given before, in the course of Jane and Elizabeth's correspondence with her, made her sister a slight answer, and, in compassion to her nieces, turned the conversation.

When alone with Elizabeth afterwards, she spoke more on the subject. "It seems likely to have been a desirable match for Jane," said she. "I am sorry it went off. But these things happen so often! A young man, such as you describe Mr. Bingley, so easily falls in love with a pretty girl for a few weeks, and when accident separates them, so easily forgets her, that these sort of inconstancies are very frequent."

"An excellent consolation in its way," said Elizabeth, "but it will not do for us. We do not suffer by accident. It does not often happen that the interference of friends will persuade a young man of independent fortune to think no more of a girl, whom he was violently in love with only a few days before."

"But that expression of "violently in love" is so hackneyed, so doubtful, so indefinite, that it gives me very little idea. It is as often applied to feelings which arise from an half-hour's acquaintance, as to a real, strong attachment. pray, how violent was Mr. Bingley's love?"

请教老师：

1）for Jane would have got Mr. Bingley, if she could. - 虚拟语气中，if从句中使用了情态动词could表示的是“能够”的意思吗？补充完整应该是if she could have done吗？will have a daughter married - 省略了(who will be) married 吗？

2）It makes me very nervous and poorly, to be thwarted so in my own family, and to have neighbours who think of themselves before anybody else.  这里to be thwarted 和  and to have neighbours 为什么要用不定式，而不用动名词呢？

3）is the greatest of comforts - greatest后面是省略了comfort吗？

4）as often applied to feelings which arise from an half-hour's acquaintance, as to a real, strong attachment. 这个as...as比较分句麻烦老师分析一下结构和意思，想知道“哪个”和“哪个”在比较？比较哪方面？very little idea - 副词very可以修饰限定词little吗？

谢谢老师！
