] But how could they have discussed it as being impossible, if Bingley did not already know of Darcy's first proposal (or at least of his love for Elizabeth)? As someone above pointed out, Jane's character would never have allowed her to bring up Lizzy's rejection of Darcy--especially out of the blue, nor would she have suggested the idea of a match between Darcy and Elizabeth, thinking, as she did, that Lizzy, though no longer hating Darcy, certainly did not care for him either. The topic could only have been raised by Bingley, and only if he knew what had happened the previous spring. The subject, therefor, must have been raised by Bingley, who between the two was the one that knew that there was still an attraction in one towards the other, that is to say in Darcy towards Elizabeth.
] I believe Bingley, worried about his friend's disappointment, and wanting to find out if there was some chance for his friend to join him in happiness, would have asked Jane about Lizzy's present opinion of Darcy, and that during such a discussion they would have discussed the first proposal.

] How about Bill ? after all Fitzwilliam Darcy means William Darcy Junior right?
] But seriously, I like "Fitzwilliam" much better, I think it sounds very noble and quite romantic.

_______
"Fitz" was consistently used for royal bastards only in some cases from the 17th century or later I think (such as "FitzClarence" for the illegitimate children of William IV).
For the vast majority of Norman or pseudo-Norman names ("Fitz" is an English rendering of the word which has become "fils" in modern French) the prefix probably did not originally have any connotations of bastardy.
This was discussed on AUSTEN-L a while back...

] As was pointed out several places in the novel, where there is one marriage, people naturally look to their nearest acquaintances for another. I can see Jane saying "if only Lizzy could be as happy as I" and Bingley telling of what he had observed at Pemberly. Then she would tell Bingley that although Lizzy's opinion of Darcy has improved, she is quite sure that Lizzy's feelings do not go beyond respect.
To me respect wouldn't preclude the later development of love. To think that Lizzy falling for Darcy was impossible, I think both Jand and Bingley must have concluded that Lizzy still actively disliked Darcy, and that Darcy would have had to tell Bingley about his side of it before Jane would discuss it with Bingley

I'm not convinced. Besides the argument reiterated above, I think that merely deciding that he shouldn't interfere in his friend's life wouldn't be enough to make Darcy call his own actions "absurd and impertinent" - after all he was still doing it, to some extent, in the text. I think that Darcy's falling in love with Jane's sister was the thing that made Darcy's seperating Bingley from Jane so ridiculous, and that he admitted as much to Bingley.

Well, I'm sure that muffins were around, and studs...well, livestock and breeding pracitices were certainly common knowledge. Lizzy was an uncommonly quick and witty woman.

The fact the He {Darcy} loved Elizabeth should have made him realized that Bingley should love Jane. Why should he{Darcy} be the cause of so much unhappiness. That was enough to make him fess up to Bingley. I don't think he new about the first proposal unless Jane would tell him. The fact that D and L were thrown together would make J and B hope that maybe there was a chance.

PS He wanted to make Lizzie happy too.

I tend to agree more with you than Eric, Janet. But Eric does help me understand why I always feel like the loser no matter who gets elected. While I'm voting for a candidate to balance the books, most everyone else, if Eric is right, expects the winner to go off on some moral crusade. Ah well, one day I'm sure the books will finally get done.
I'm still uneasy with calling JA a moralist. After all, she, like the writers of the American Constitution, can no longer speak for herself. So anyone can make any kind of claim about her moral framework. Who's to know, except in a general way, what she would have thought about today's moral dilemmas?
So you can call her a moralist, but please don't tell me what her morals were.

All right, Anna, what about the theory someone just hinted at somewhere else in this thread; that Darcy admitted that part of his wanting to seperate Bingley from Jane was to promote a match between Bingley and Georgianna. Does this not qualify as "absurd and impertinent"? Darcy admits this to Lizzy, could he not have admitted it to Bingley in this conversation we are trying to reconstruct?
