Elizabeth isn't bothered by rejecting Darcy in itself Written by Tracy W (5/30/2007 9:51 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, Her turmoil is understandable, penned by Lila

Whatever the cause of Elizabeth's emotional turmoil at this stage, she doesn't seem bothered by the mere fact of passing up marrying one of the richest men in England:

His attachment excited gratitude, his general character respect; but she could not approve him; nor could she for a moment repent her refusal, or feel the slightest inclination ever to see him again. (chpt 37).

Clearly Elizabeth doesn't think she passed up the opportunity of a lifetime.
