—Fyodor Dostoevsky

William Collins: *emphatically* poor Lady Catherine is deeply upset by the news of the engagement of her dear nephew! It is my duty to offer my support in her time of need, so that she will graciously bestow hers upon me in my time of need!

Mr Bennet, via letter: my good man, have you considered that sucking up to her dear nephew might be better for you in the long run?

Mr Collins, looking speculatively at Mr Darcy:

Fitzwilliam Darcy: why do I feel a chill going down my spine?

The Gardiners observing Darcy and Elizabeth together in Pride & Prejudice and moving from curiosity to "I would love an invite to Pemberley once you're married" is so delightful:

Her uncle and aunt were all amazement; and the embarrassment of her manner as she spoke, joined to the circumstance itself, and many of the circumstances of the preceding day, opened to them a new idea on the business. Nothing had ever suggested it before, but they now felt that there was no other way of accounting for such attentions from such a quarter than by supposing a partiality for their niece. While these newly-born notions were passing in their heads

The suspicions which had just arisen of Mr. Darcy and their niece, directed their observation towards each with an earnest, though guarded, inquiry; and they soon drew from those inquiries the full conviction that one of them at least knew what it was to love. Of the lady’s sensations they remained a little in doubt; but that the gentleman was overflowing with admiration was evident enough.

They talked of his sister, his friends, his house, his fruit, of everything but himself; yet Elizabeth was longing to know what Mrs. Gardiner thought of him, and Mrs. Gardiner would have been highly gratified by her niece’s beginning the subject.

Will you be very angry with me, my dear Lizzy, if I take this opportunity of saying (what I was never bold enough to say before) how much I like him? His behaviour to us has, in every respect, been as pleasing as when we were in Derbyshire. His understanding and opinions all please me; he wants nothing but a little more liveliness, and that, if he marry prudently, his wife may teach him. I thought him very sly; he hardly ever mentioned your name. But slyness seems the fashion. Pray forgive me, if I have been very presuming, or at least do not punish me so far as to exclude me from P. I shall never be quite happy till I have been all round the park. (Mrs. Gardiner's letter to Elizabeth about Darcy's involvement in Lydia's marriage)

Other than Jane, they are the only family members who have any idea what is going on and they are all for it! The way that they can tell how much Darcy is in love is beautiful.

Listening right now to Pride and Prejudice while studying anatomy so I wanted to quickly sketch Elizabeth as I imagined her.

Maybe I'll draw Mr Darcy later.
