文字記錄
Later that evening, Lizzie is curled in an armchair with a mug when she glances up and catches Darcy watching her from across the room. Her amused certainty falters into surprise and a faint flush; his expression is unusually open and unguarded. A quiet, held look passes between them. (No dialogue.)

Lizzie, curled in an armchair with a mug, catches Darcy watching her from the next seat in the lamplit room, and her composure falters.
關於本章
Caroline Bingley invites Jane to Netherfield, and Mrs. Bennet — smelling opportunity — packs her off on a bike with no ride home just as the sky turns, betting a downpour will force Jane to stay the night. The plan works too well: Jane arrives soaked, spikes a fever, and is stuck under Bingley's roof, sick. When the news reaches home, Lizzie doesn't hesitate — she walks three miles of muddy road to reach her sister, arriving flushed, windblown, and unbothered by the mud on her jeans. Caroline is appalled; Bingley is charmed; and Darcy, who came to Netherfield certain Lizzie's laughter meant nothing to him, cannot stop looking at her. Cornered into the same house for one long evening, Lizzie and Darcy trade barbs across the dinner table — and by the time the rain is still tapping the guest-room window, Lizzie catches herself not entirely hating that she's stuck here.
