Not really bored aristocrat-type but just bored Darcy Written by Robbin (5/8/2007 12:16 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, Was it a sign of excellent taste..., penned by Moni

I was thinking is more along the lines of Darcy gets in a snit when the situation is not just how he wants it and his demeanor becomes more reserved and much less congenial. Darcy already has a reserved manner which continually gives offense (Chapter 4) and couple that with a bit of a bad mood and he could really be formidable on a Sunday evening. Take all that a spoonful of prejudice and you have his demeanor at the assembly ball. I think Bingley understands Darcy’s character and he is using the truth to poke a little fun at him and end the discussion. ;D

Moni are you thinking of the Insensible Charles from Jack & Alice? Like Darcy he has been known to reject a few ladies, has handsome features, noble mien and pride--lots of pride. LoL! Look here:

at a woodcut of Insensible Charles posted by Cheryl at the group read last summer. The radiating lines indicate his awesome presence, he is Darcy-like but I have to ask, does he smile too much? ;D
