Summary:
Soon, the Bingley ladies retire to dress for dinner, and Elizabeth shortly follows. At dinner, the Ladies say that they are very sorry that Jane is ill, but Lizzy can tell that they don’t really care. After supper, Elizabeth goes back to check on Jane, and the Bingley sisters start trash talking Elizabeth. They say that she has bad manners, bad conversation skills, and no taste. The only thing recommending her is that she is a good walker. They then discuss her idiotic idea to walk all of the way to the house to see her sister, and how awful it was that she was covered in mud and dirt. Mr Bingley defends her, saying that he didn’t notice her dress at all, and thought it very good of her to have come. The girls then ask Darcy if he noticed, and if it lowered his esteem of her and they are a bit shocked when he retorts that it in fact lifted it. The girls then head up to pretend to be kind to Jane again and leave when coffee is called for.
After Elizabeth believes Jane to be asleep, she heads down to find the group playing cards, but refuses to join in as she believes them to be betting with a lot of money. She goes to read a book instead, and Mr Bingley offers to give her his library if she would like. This leads to a conversation about Mr Darcy’s extensive library at his home in Derbyshire, and homes in general. Elizabeth soon finds that she is not reading at all and is listening to their conversation, and she goes to join in. The topic then changes to ideal people, and Darcy explains exactly what it is that he looks for in a woman…
