"Mr Darcy is the most honest man in London, I am perfectly convinced. So much so that even civility has no claim upon him."
FITZWILLIAM DARCY regrets his intemperate words about Miss Elizabeth's desirability as a dance partner, and wishes everyone-particularly the beguiling young lady herself-would allow them to be forgot. Alas with Charles Bingley set on winning Jane Bennet's heart and hand, he will have to do more than just wish. He will have to admit that a young lady left sitting without a dancer partner may still be very tempting indeed.
