Elizabeth's mind was too full _____ (5) conversation, but she saw and admired every remarkable spot and point of view.

It was a large, handsome stone building, _____ (8) well on rising ground, and backed by a ridge of high woody hills; and in front, a stream of some natural importance was swelled _____ (9) greater, but without any artificial appearance.

Elizabeth returned to the drawing-room, _____ (21) to find a way to quiet her mind.

As they left the house, she was overcome with a sense of expectation and fear.  _____ (22) the very moment they crossed the threshold, she _____ (23) a voice that was undeniably his. Turning, she met Mr. Darcy _____ (24) an expression of surprise and admiration.
