At least one of Mrs. Reynolds' remarks Written by nan duval (5/10/2010 6:43 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, How useful is Mrs. Reynolds' recommendation?, penned by Line

is seconded by the good people of Lambton.

"His father was an excellent man," said Mrs. Gardiner.
"Yes, ma'am, that he was indeed; and his son will be just like him--just as affable to the poor." (Chapter 43)

This praise is echoed in Chapter 44: "It was acknowledged, however, that he was a liberal man, and did much good among the poor."

I think it's interesting that JA, the daughter of a clergyman, would so pointedly make care of the poor one of Darcy's attributes while Collins never once mentions concern for those less fortunate than himself.
