About this chapter
The morning after the assembly, Lizzie turns Darcy’s insult into the Bennet family’s favorite joke while Jane tries to protect her first fragile hope about Bingley. Across town at Netherfield, Darcy insists he is unmoved, but Caroline notices him repeating Lizzie’s name. The chapter pivots from public insult to private curiosity: Lizzie refuses to be diminished, Jane quietly hopes, and Darcy realizes her laughter has followed him home.
