Darcy is walking with Elizabeth when they first meets Wickham; Darcy withstands intruductions made by Denny. Elizabeth says “you staid”, because OF COURSE she would have read P&P beforehand and knew Darcy really wanted to leave, ride away with his horse, in some (canon) alternate universe !

So many glitches!
From Mrs. Nicholls attending Elizabeth at Longbourn, to descriptions of a small parish church in Hertfordshire having organ music to accompany the ceremony (!!!).
Organ music was reserved to large churches of importance, or specific very wealthy venues until after the Regency. The popularization of organs for church music happened much later in the 19th Century.

Elizabeth says her first two dances are promised to Mr. Collins. Then says there’s no Mr. Collins at Longbourn, he has not arrived yet.
Is this a cheeky joke, or has Elizabeth read P&P ahead of the ball? Is this an AI glitch ???

Eye-roll; this was written by someone(?) who didn’t pay much attention to P&P at all! The whole point of white soup is that it takes a long time to make, that it’s a festive (elegant) dish; the process serves as a measure of time to set a date for the Netherfield ball.
It’s not a daily dish to request in the same day!
“Mrs. Nicholls wished to know whether Jane preferred broth or white soup at dinner.”

Same three-sentence structure >> formulaic and fake sounding, it doesn’t even make sense half the time.
Strange glitches or small timeloops >> Darcy gets dressed, his valet offers 2 cravats choices, he picks one. Darcy goes down and has social interactions with Bingley, Elizabeth, and Caroline. Then he goes upstairs to his room, both cravats are still there waiting for him.
