Transcripción
The visit spirals into mortification, panel by panel. Mrs. Bennet, a familiar hand on Bingley's arm: 'Isn't this house just ENORMOUS!' Off to the side, Lizzie pinches the bridge of her nose, dying inside. Lydia sprawls sideways on a pale designer sofa, sneakers up on the cushion, bored on her phone: 'Bo-ring. No offense.' Caroline sips from a glass, smug and delighted at the spectacle. Darcy stands apart, arms folded, expressionless and unreadable. Bingley, kind and completely unbothered, laughs warmly with Mrs. Bennet: 'It's no trouble, really!'

Acerca de este capítulo
Still stranded at Netherfield while Jane's fever breaks, Lizzie has to survive days in the cool glass house in yesterday's clothes — trading barbs with Caroline, fielding Darcy's unguarded stares, and puncturing a smug drawing-room debate about what makes a woman a real catch. Then her family descends: Mrs. Bennet sweeps in with Lydia and Kitty to 'rescue' Jane, gushing over the house, sprawling on the designer furniture, and demanding Bingley throw a party — while Lizzie dies of embarrassment and Caroline drinks it in. Bracing for Darcy to confirm every cold thing she believes about him with a verdict on her circus of a family, Lizzie gets the opposite: he sidesteps the insult entirely and quietly tells her that her sister is lucky to have her. It disarms her more than any cruelty could — and her tidy verdict on Mr. Darcy starts to come apart.
