Oh, I'm sorry you feel trepidation when posting. Just remember, people wouldn't be moved to respond passionately if they didn't passionately enjoy this story. I will say that last week I mentioned that I felt that Darcy was still a little arrogant, though definitley improving, and several people replied that they felt he wasn't all that arrogant any longer. I think this chapter provides my example of his still a bit arrogant manner. It also provides examples of how Elizabeth still needs to ask her questions and erase all her misunderstandings, so though people were behaving badly, its a good measure of how far we still need to go to reach our perfect place for HEA.
