Elizabeth Bennet:
: I love this dance.

Mr Darcy:
Indeed. Most invigorating.

Elizabeth Bennet:
It is your turn to say something, Mr Darcy. I talked about the dance. Now you ought to remark on the size of the room or the number of couples.

Mr Darcy:
I'm perfectly happy to oblige. Please advise me on what would you like most to hear?

Elizabeth Bennet:
That reply will do for present. Perhaps by and by I may observe that private balls are much pleasanter than public ones. For now, we may remain silent.

Mr Darcy:
Do you talk as a rule while dancing?

Elizabeth Bennet:
No. No, I prefer to be unsociable and taciturn. Makes it all so much more enjoyable, don't you think?

Mr Darcy:
Tell me, do you and your sisters very often walk to Meryton?

Elizabeth Bennet:
Yes, we often walk to Meryton. It's a great opportunity to meet new people. When you met us, we'd just had the pleasure of forming a new acquaintance.

Mr Darcy:
Mr Wickham's blessed with such happy manners, he's sure of making friends. Whether he's capable of retaining them is less so.

Elizabeth Bennet:
He's been so unfortunate as to lose your friendship. And I daresay that's an irreversible event?

Mr Darcy:
It is. Why do you ask such a question?

Elizabeth Bennet:
To make out your character, Mr Darcy.

Mr Darcy:
And what have you discovered?

Elizabeth Bennet:
Very little. I hear such different accounts of you as puzzle me exceedingly.

Mr Darcy:
I hope to afford you more clarity in the future.
