“In Darcy, Elizabeth would have a husband who would adore her, but who was stubborn enough to refuse to give in to her. Elizabeth would have a husband she respected and loved, if she could ever bend her stiff neck enough to confess to it. Bennet could not have wished for anything more for his daughter.” Mr DarcyPride And Prejudice VariationElizabeth BennetMr Bennet Book:Coincidence Source: Coincidence
“Bennet harrumphed, annoyance building within his breast. Was he required to spell it out for them both? Had he thought them poorly suited he might have held his tongue, but Mr. Darcy’s intelligence alone was enough to ensure Elizabeth would have a happy life with him, a matter which had always given Bennet much concern. Most men did not wish for a clever wife. It was clear to him they belonged together, or at least they would suit each other well.” Mr DarcyPride And Prejudice VariationElizabeth BennetMr Bennet Book:Mr. Bennet Takes Charge Source: Mr. Bennet Takes Charge
“There have been misunderstandings between us aplenty, Miss Bennet, and I would prefer to speak plainly to ensure I am understood. Your reproofs at Hunsford were correct, and I have attempted to amend my behavior in the time since. Nothing has changed with respect to my feelings for you, but this time I would prefer to allow my actions to speak to my attentions, with an eye toward showing you the true measure of my character. That is, if you will allow it.” Mr DarcyPride And Prejudice VariationElizabeth Bennet Book:Mr. Bennet Takes Charge Source: Mr. Bennet Takes Charge
“Bennet was delighted—he had not thought he would receive such amusement when traveling in such circumstances, but his daughter and her unacknowledged suitor were proving him incorrect! But Mr. Darcy said nothing further, requiring Bennet to prod him a little more.” Mr DarcyPride And Prejudice VariationElizabeth BennetMr Bennet Book:Mr. Bennet Takes Charge Source: Mr. Bennet Takes Charge
