Darcy: " You are dancing with the only handsome girl in the room." "There is one of her sisters...who is very pretty." "She is tolerable, but not handsome to tempt me. I am in no humour at present to give consequence to young ladies who are slighted by other men." Jane: He is just what a young man ought to be: sensible, good-humoured, lively..."
