This sets up an interesting comparison... Written by Adrian (5/1/2007 1:38 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, Darcy is shocked to find he was wrong…, penned by Robbin

...between Darcy who takes a fresh look at Lizzy and corrects his incorrect first impression and Lizzy who does not (despite repeated opportunities). I do agree that Darcy is mortified because he realizes he has judged Lizzy hastily and in error.
