Even as I agree that Darcy means the line as... Written by Adrian (6/24/2007 12:21 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, stiff upper lip line - delivery, penned by Jessica T

...totally considerate of Lizzy's feelings, I cannot also help hearing the words that say "Last chance, Lizzy."

"...My affections and wishes are unchanged; but one word from you will silence me on this subject for ever." (Ch. 58)

Even though Darcy did not mean those words as an ultimatum and Lizzy wasn't about to test them--may not even have heard them--I wonder if they registered nonetheless as a kind of "fair warning."
