Elizabeth was sitting with her mother and sisters, reflecting on what she had heard, and doubting whether she was authorised to mention it, when Sir William Lucas himself appeared, sent by his daug Miss Bingley's letter arrived, and put an end to doubt. The very first sentence conveyed the assurance of their being all settled in London for the winter, and concluded with her brother's regret a After a week spent in professions of love and schemes of felicity, Mr.
Collins was called from his amiable Charlotte by the arrival of Saturday. The pain of separation, however, might be alleviated Gardiner's caution to Elizabeth was punctually and kindly given on the first favourable opportunity of speaking to her alone; after honestly telling her what she thought, she thus went on:"You With no greater events than these in the Longbourn family, and otherwise diversified by little beyond the walks to Meryton, sometimes dirty and sometimes cold, did January and February pass away.
Every object in the next day's journey was new and interesting to Elizabeth; and her spirits were in a state of enjoyment; for she had seen her sister looking so well as to banish all fear for her Collins's triumph, in consequence of this invitation, was complete. The power of displaying the grandeur of his patroness to his wondering visitors, and of letting them see her civility towards Sir William stayed only a week at Hunsford, but his visit was long enough to convince him of his daughter's being most comfortably settled, and of her possessing such a husband and such a neighbour Colonel Fitzwilliam's manners were very much admired at the Parsonage, and the ladies all felt that he must add considerably to the pleasures of their engagements at Rosings.

It was some days, howe Elizabeth was sitting by herself the next morning, and writing to Jane while Mrs. Collins and Maria were gone on business into the village, when she was startled by a ring at the door, the certain More than once did Elizabeth, in her ramble within the park, unexpectedly meet Mr. She felt all the perverseness of the mischance that should bring him where no one else was brought, and, to When they were gone, Elizabeth, as if intending to exasperate herself as much as possible against Mr. Darcy, chose for her employment the examination of all the letters which Jane had written to he Elizabeth awoke the next morning to the same thoughts and meditations which had at length closed her eyes.
She could not yet recover from the surprise of what had happened; it was impossible to thi If Elizabeth, when Mr. Darcy gave her the letter, did not expect it to contain a renewal of his offers, she had formed no expectation at all of its contents. But such as they were, it may well be s The two gentlemen left Rosings the next morning, and Mr. Collins having been in waiting near the lodges, to make them his parting obeisance, was able to bring home the pleasing intelligence, of the On Saturday morning Elizabeth and Mr. Collins met for breakfast a few minutes before the others appeared; and he took the opportunity of paying the parting civilities which he deemed indispensably It was the second week in May, in which the three young ladies set out together from Gracechurch Street for the town of , in Hertfordshire; and, as they drew near the appointed inn where Mr.
Elizabeth's impatience to acquaint Jane with what had happened could no longer be overcome; and at length, resolving to suppress every particular in which her sister was concerned, and preparing he The first week of their return was soon gone. The second began. It was the last of the regiment's stay in Meryton, and all the young ladies in the neighbourhood were drooping apace. The dejection w Had Elizabeth's opinion been all drawn from her own family, she could not have formed a very pleasing opinion of conjugal felicity or domestic comfort.
Her father, captivated by youth and beauty, a Elizabeth, as they drove along, watched for the first appearance of Pemberley Woods with some perturbation; and when at length they turned in at the lodge, her spirits were in a high flutter. The pa Elizabeth had settled it that Mr.

He is twenty-eight, seven years older than Elizabeth the ideal age difference people believed, for a happy marriage. A man restyles at that age. Virility lay in adult maturity.

At the time when Austen wrote the novel in the s, although not published until , Darcy would, from all evidence available, have had loose powdered mid length hair, much akin to the popular male style of the era. Somehow it seems wrong for Darcy. Pride and Prejudice has squads of soldiers in the background. There is a war going on and a fear of French invasion. The soldiers might well have sported manly facial hair, to frighten the enemy and attract the girls. Wickham, the seducer, leading the charge. The lesser Bennet sisters are shameless camp followers.
They love the military bristle. But for high-born young men about town Darcy has a London house, as well as an estate facial hair would not, at this period, be comme il faut. One of the standards of beauty at the period was the display, or covering up, of the neck, not just for women.

Men of the era swathed their necks in intricately tied cravat arrangements, which could take half an hour, in front of a mirror again, forget Firth's wet shirt. Darcy's eye shape oval not slit and colour dark and flashing. His height? We are told more than once that he is tall, a sign of rank and social status. At a historical period when average male heights hovered around 5' 6", he might be considered tall at a modest 5 ' 10".
On the other hand, one of Austen's brothers was a full six-footer and Jane herself was considered of 'middle height', around 5.
In Mansfield Park a jealous character denounces the sexy Mr Crawford on grounds of stature. He is not five foot nine. I should not wonder if he was not more than five foot eight'". All of the evidence would suggest that Darcy was about 5 foot 11 inches. His complexion?

An important marker of social significance. Handsomeness like beauty rested on health. He would have smooth, unmarked skin and must have escaped the ravages of small-pox. Odds-on he was as pale as marble, with something of the classical statue. By contrast, soldiers of officer rank, like Wickham, would have had a tan. Their profession was outdoor.
But for civilian men, pallor indicated a man did not work. And remember Lizzie Bennet is criticised for her unladylike tan. When at Pemberley Darcy may well cut a different figure, especially when at his favourite sport, angling, under, of course, a wide brimmed hat to protect his pale complexion. Let the working classes do it. That is what Darcy's facial 'colour' will proclaim. Darcy's teeth will not yet be decayed.
He may well, unlike the mass of the English population, carry them into late life. As we are reminded in Sense and Sensibility a gentleman kept his gnashers in good shape with a toothpick often with precious metal ornamentation and perfumed sponge. Gentlemen and courtiers had long been instructed in the niceties of clean linen, tooth-picks, handkerchiefs and 'nice' personal habits. Darcy may well have smelt of musk or flowers. Perfumes were unisex in the period. Jane Austen may be remiss on physiognomy but she rarely forgets to mention the bank balance.
It is a huge sum, translating into half a million, or more, in modern value. A man marinated in that kind of cash will reflect it in his demeanour. The rich, as Scott Fitzgerald said, are different. Darcy's 'carriage', the way he 'bears' himself will declare his 'worth'. His 'difference'. His arrival in the neighbourhood is an exciting event for Mrs Bennet. Many episodes in the novel are related by letter.
Which of the following is NOT conveyed by letter? Lady Catherine's threat that society will despise and exclude Elizabeth if she were to marry Mr Darcy. Mr Wickham's involvement with Georgiana Darcy. Mr Darcy's payments for Mr Wickham's Brighton debts. Lydia's elopement with Mr Wickham. During Lydia's time in London, the family wait desperately for letters to bring them news. How is Elizabeth's marriage a support for her family?
She is able to prevent Mr Collins from inheriting their home. She is able to improve her mother's character. She sets a good example for Lydia to follow. She is able to exert a positive influence over Kitty from a safe distance. Kitty is able to escape the influence of her mother and of Lydia during her regular extended visits to the homes of Jane and Elizabeth. Why does Mr Collins visit Longbourn?
