關於本章
The assembly party — the night everything starts. Bingley arrives and is instantly adored; Darcy is admired for about half an hour before the whole town decides he is insufferable. Bingley and Jane find each other immediately. When Bingley urges his friend to dance with Lizzie, Darcy calls her tolerable — not handsome enough to tempt him — and Lizzie is close enough to hear every word. She turns it into a joke and tells it all night.
