<>rispose Darcy << non ho mai avanzato una simile pretesa. Ho sicuramente delle mancanze, anche se non di ordine intellettuale, spero. Quanto al carattere, invece, non ci giurerei. Credo che sia troppo poco arrendevole, certo troppo poco per piacere a tutti. Non riesco a dimenticare le sciocchezze e idifetti degli altri in fretta come dovrei, nè le offese che ricevo. I miei sentimenti non si infiammano a ogni piccolo sforzo per suscitarli.Ho un carattere forse incline al risentimento: persa una volta , la mia stima è persa per sempre. >>

I certainly have not the talent which some people possess," said Darcy, "of conversing easily with those I have never seen before. I cannot catch their tone of conversation, or appear interested in their concerns, as I often see done." "My fingers," said Elizabeth, "do not move over this instrument in the masterly manner which I see so many women's do. They have not the same force or rapidity, and do not produce the same expression. But then I have always supposed it to be my own fault—because I will not take the trouble of practising. It is not that I do not believe my fingers as capable as any other woman's of superior execution." Darcy smiled and said, "You are perfectly right. You have employed your time much better.
