Compliment? Written by Denise H (5/4/2007 7:32 p.m.)

In Ch. 8, when Darcy says "and to all this she must yet add something more substantial, in the improvement of her mind by extensive reading", is he paying Lizzy a compliment? Lizzy has just been disparaged by Caroline for reading instead of card-playing. Lizzy seems to take Darcy's comment as an insult. Sorry if you've already discussed this somewhere and I missed it.
