    • Miss Darcy
      • With astonishment did elizabeth see, that her new acquaintance was at least as much embarrassed as herself
        • She had heard that Miss Darcy was exceedingly proud... she was only exceedingly shy
          • Georgiana's reception of them was very civil; but attended with all that embarrassment which, though preceding from shyness and the fear of doing wrong, would easily give to those who felt themselves inferior, the belief of her being proud and reserved
    • Gardiners
      • Unprejudiced: "they had drawn his character from their own feelings, and his servant's report, without any reference to any other account"

                • Mr B - he simpers, and smirks, and makes love to us all
            • She turned from sister to sister, demanding their congratulations
          • "Her reputation is no less brittle than it is beautiful"
          • The death of your daughter would have been a blessing in comparison of this
            • Her own disposition must be naturally bad, or she could not be guilty of such an enormity, at so early an age
