Austen August: A Pride and Prejudice Read-A-Long discussion

Here we have an annoyingly cute chapter where Elizabeth and Darcy are talking and she asks Darcy when he first decided she wasn't so annoying after all.

“I cannot fix upon the hour, or the spot, or the looks, or the words which laid the foundation. It is too long ago. I was in the middle before I knew I had begun.”


Darcy writes to his aunt about their engagement (I'm sure she is over the moon.) and Mrs Bennet writes to the Collins' to do the same- in the end the Collins, the Lucases and Mrs Phillips wind up visiting Longbourn in the hopes of escaping a very angry Lady Catherine. Can't help but be amused at the mental image of Lady Catherine reading that letter...

I love that line. I swoon everytime Darcy calls her Elizabeth.
I love this line too: "I am happier even than Jane; she only smiles, I laugh."
