Blourish & Flotts: Beautifully Retold

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen — Chapter 6
Jane and Mr. Bingley's growing attachment is noticed by everyone except, perhaps, the two people it concerns most. Elizabeth and Charlotte Lucas debate how much a woman should reveal of her feelings, and whether good sense can ever guarantee a happy marriage. Their conversation is lively, sharp, and full of the wit that makes the Bennet sisters so easy to follow.
At a crowded evening at Sir William Lucas's house, Elizabeth finds herself the subject of Mr. Darcy's attention. Her quick tongue, a reluctant song, and a sharply polite exchange with Sir William all play out in front of him. Miss Bingley, meanwhile, watches Darcy closely and is quick to draw her own conclusions.
