I just love that... Written by Kira (1/26/2004 4:50 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, Mrs Gardiner: a sensible woman giving sensible advice, penned by kathleen (elder)

]"You are too sensible a girl, Lizzy, to fall in love merely because you are warned against it"

It's just exactly something I could see Lydia do

The whole conversation just just lovely. I especialy like that Elizabeth promiss her aunt to try not to fall it love with Wickham, because she knows that it would be wrong, but that she can't be sure.

Then in chapter 34 she says:

"I might as well inquire," replied she, "why with so evident a design of offending and insulting me, you chose to tell me that you liked me against your will, against your reason, and even against your character?"

Ofcause Elizabeth wouldn't have told Wickham that she loved him aganist her will or reason in the same way, but she did tell her aunt that she couldn't promiss not to love him. So why would Darcy doing the same be so much worse?
