Elizabeth is definitely not competing, Written by kathleen (elder) (4/12/2010 11:01 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, Elizabeth and Miss Lucas LIKE Darcy..., penned by Akaruihi

with any other woman, for Darcy -- neither for his affection nor even his attention. And I see no evidence is what you quoted that either Charlotte or Elizabeth care about Darcy's opinion of them.

      - We still have the system here Elbč (4/12/2010 11:31 a.m.)
Definitely Agree BarbaraB (4/12/2010 2:03 a.m.)
- Darcy's insults meant to be overheard? Elbč (4/12/2010 10:30 a.m.)
  - Charlotte's overhearings were about Mr Bingley's comments Lou C (4/14/2010 9:55 a.m.)
  - Probably! and playing hard to get.. Akaruihi (4/14/2010 5:26 a.m.)

      - I think its more to Bingley: Elbč (4/12/2010 11:22 a.m.)
- Agree maud l (4/12/2010 3:38 a.m.)
  - And IMO very much caught up with the concept of class and AnnetteJ (4/12/2010 8:35 a.m.)
