English isn't my mother tongue and I don't know the exact connotations. When my friends call me "sadist" they don't mean I earn pleasure torturing them! I just make assumptions such as "your boyfriend is alone on holidays, he can cheat on you". Not that I strongly believe it, but there is a possibility. We just laugh..

I meant Darcy could be possibly pleased dissapointing Caroline, who assumes too much about his thoughts. Of course she knows him quite well and is allowed to do so.

I am new here. Most of the time I read others comments and make my own now and then."sadistic" was used by someone else, I think and I did't take it litterally.
