seemed likely to sink into insignificance Written by Stephanie (5/12/2010 12:37 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, As far as we know, Darcy never does ..., penned by Kathi

'Interesting' usually implies 'interesting to [someone],' since everyone finds different things interesting. So, 'a collection of people ... for none of whom he had felt the smallest interest' is pretty close to 'a collection of people whom he found uninteresting,' would you not say?
