Character card on a plain cool steel-blue backdrop. Fitzwilliam Darcy — 29, tall and lean, angular sharp-jawed face, deep-set steel-grey eyes, near-black hair swept back and neat, charcoal-grey tailored wool overcoat over a fine-knit black sweater, dark trousers and black shoes — stands guarded with both hands in his coat pockets, not smiling. Cold and superior in public, but quietly beginning to thaw. Caption: 'FITZWILLIAM DARCY — COLD, SLOWLY THAWING'

About this chapter
A bonus cast-guide interlude: a clean character-card lineup of everyone in Lizzie Bennet's tangled orbit as of the Ms. de Bourgh estate visit. One portrait per principal with their name and their essence in a single caption — Lizzie the sharp, unbowed protagonist; Darcy the cold man slowly thawing; Jane and Charles, the right people with the wrong timing; George Wickham, warm smile and cold read; Caroline Bingley, insults gift-wrapped; Charlotte Lucas, who chose a roof over butterflies; Mr. Collins, who treats courtship like a sales pitch; the newly arrived Ms. de Bourgh on her throne; and the whole Bennet household — five daughters and one mission. A quick who's-who for new readers and a midpoint snapshot of the whole board before the story turns.
