Pride and Prejudice ~ wk. 15

     " Miss Bingley made no answer, and soon afterwards for up and walked about the room. her figure was elegant, and she walked well; - but Darcy, at whom it was all aimed, was still inflexibly studious. In the desperation of her feelings, she resolved on one effort more, and, turning to Elizabeth, said - 'Miss Eliza Bennet,  let me persuade to take a turn about he room. - I assure you it is very refreshing after sitting so long in one attitude.'
       Elizabeth was surprised, but agreed to it immediately. Miss Bingley succeeded no less in in the real object of her civility; Mr. Darcy looked up."

____________________________________________________
  I love the content of this passage - it brings about such an understanding of these characters! {preposition} It correctly presents Mr. Darcy as a book-wormy, seemingly boring sort of man. {preposition} Miss Bingley seems to be a divisive, snobby sort of girl -  who considers every person on the planet to have been created to do her bidding. In the end, though, she seems to always proverbially run off, hurt and disappointed. {adjective} Miss Bennet, on the other hand, is very rightly presented in this passage as a woman who's actions could be thought of as shy, yet precise and thoughtful. {adverb} Overall, this has been my favorite part of the book so far because of how well all the characters are displayed so truly. {adverb}
