Are you new?

I just love this chapter and I'm noticing so many more details during this reading.

I particularly enjoy the part where Darcy and Elizabeth are standing together at the end of thier walk waiting for Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner. I feel JA does an excellent job writing about their discomfort being with each other right now. I can readily identify being in awkward situations and trying to make conversation.

This quote is one of my favorites.

"...they stood together on the lawn. At such a time much might have been said, and silence was very awkward. She wanted to talk, but there seemed an embargo o every subject. At last she recollected that she had been travelling, and they talked of Matlock and Dovedale with great perseverance. Yet time and her aunt moved slowly - and her patience and her ideas were nearly worn out before the tete-a-tete was over."
