Sure! :) Written by Reeba (1/31/2011 3:37 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, I cannot accept that, penned by Ramya

As long as the sensibilities applied are of that time.

People found Darcy rude and haughty.
If Emma behaved that way she would/should be judged for it too, but as for now she's either thinking it in her head or saying it to show Harriet the difference.

We have yet to see Emma in a roomful of people (not of her class) at an assembly like Darcy. :)
