Kang Minseok was not a sensible man, and the deficiency of nature had been but little assisted by education or society; the greatest part of his life having been spent under the guidance of an illiterate and miserly father; and though he belonged to one of the universities, he had merely kept the necessary terms, without forming at it any useful acquaintance. The subjection in which his father had brought him up had given him originally great humility of manner; but it was now a good deal counteracted by the self-conceit of a weak head, living in retirement, and the consequential feelings of early and unexpected prosperity. A fortunate chance had recommended him to Lady Baek Sohee when the living of Hunsford was vacant; and the respect which he felt for her high rank, and his veneration for her as his patroness, mingling with a very good opinion of himself, of his authority as a clergyman, and his right as a rector, made him altogether a mixture of pride and obsequiousness, self-importance and humility.
Having now a good house and a very sufficient income, he intended to marry; and in seeking a reconciliation with the Longbourn family he had a mate in view, as he meant to choose one of the omegas, if he found them as handsome and amiable as they were represented by common report. This was his plan of amends--of atonement--for inheriting their father's estate; and he thought it an excellent one, full of eligibility and suitableness, and excessively generous and disinterested on his own part.
His plan did not vary on seeing them. Park Taehyung's lovely face confirmed his views, and established all his strictest notions of what was due to seniority; and for the first evening HE was his settled choice. The next morning, however, made an alteration; for in a quarter of an hour's tete-a-tete with Mrs. Park before breakfast, a conversation beginning with his parsonage-house, and leading naturally to the avowal of his hopes, that a mistress might be found for it at Longbourn, produced from her, amid very complaisant smiles and general encouragement, a caution against the very Taehyung he had fixed on. "As to her YOUNGER omegas, she could not take upon her to say--she could not positively answer--but she did not KNOW of any prepossession; her ELDEST omega, she must just mention--she felt it incumbent on her to hint, was likely to be very soon engaged."
Minseok had only to change from Taehyung to Jimin--and it was soon done--done while Mrs. Park was stirring the fire. Jimin, equally next to Taehyung in birth and beauty, succeeded him of course.
Mrs. Park treasured up the hint, and trusted that she might soon have two children married; and the man whom she could not bear to speak of the day before was now high in her good graces.
Aejin's intention of walking to Meryton was not forgotten; each of her siblings except Eunji agreed to go with her; and Minseok was to attend them, at the request of Mr. Park, who was most anxious to get rid of him, and have his library to himself; for thither Minseok had followed him after breakfast; and there he would continue, nominally engaged with one of the largest folios in the collection, but really talking to Mr. Park, with little cessation, of his house and garden at Hunsford. Such doings discomposed Mr. Park exceedingly. In his library he had been always sure of leisure and tranquillity; and though prepared, as he told Jimin, to meet with folly and conceit in every other room of the house, he was used to be free from them there; his civility, therefore, was most prompt in inviting Minseok to join his children in their walk; and Minseok, being in fact much better fitted for a walker than a reader, was extremely pleased to close his large book, and go.
