"She attracted him more than he liked; and Miss Bingly was uncivil to her, and more teasing than usual to himself. He wisely resolved to be particularly careful that no sign of admiration should now escape him" (60).
- In this section of the reading we see the feelings that Mr. Darcy has for Elizabeth more in the open. His attraction to Elizabeth is seen by Miss Bingley. Miss Bingley tried to make Elizabeth seem more and more unsuitable for him, and this made him realize that his feelings for Elizabeth were present. He figured he must not show his emotions to avoid further suspicion. He did not want others to think he had feelings for someone who he thought was unsuitable for marriage. In earlier pages we see interaction between Elizabeth and Miss Bingley. Miss Bingley, speaking about Darcy‘s pride, says, "Yes, vanity is a weakness indeed. But pride - where there is a real superiority of mind - pride will be always under good regulation" (Austen 57). She speaks about Darcy’s flaw being his pride. She may have spoken about faults in Darcy, hoping that Elizabeth would say something of that nature and she could tell Darcy about it. She wants Darcy to herself, but he has no interest in her. Why would she talk about his pride? Pride is not a simple little fault, but she must be too ignorant to realized it, and I’m sure Elizabeth must realize this also
