Transcript
Panel 1: Darcy stands alone beside a tall glass window in cool light, a book or tablet forgotten in one hand. Darcy (thought): "Elizabeth Bennet." Panel 2: His view down the hill: Lizzie, a small figure in her olive jacket, walks confidently and unhurried along the road. Panel 3: Close on Darcy's eyes. He does not smile, but his attention has sharpened against his will. Darcy (thought): "Why did she laugh?" Story function: Darcy's curiosity begins not as attraction but as irritation at someone who refused to be diminished by him.

Darcy stands alone at a high Netherfield window, watching Lizzie walk far below and realizing her laughter has unsettled him.
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.
