anghraineThere are a lot of funny moments in P&P, but personally, it’s hard to think of any surpassing one that is probably not even intended to be funny:
So. Elizabeth is wandering around Darcy’s own property, receiving uncomfortable revelations about him, and almost the last time they met was when she refused his proposal of marriage (and it went down from there), and then suddenly he’s right there and they have the most awkward conversation conceivable, and then her uncle and aunt are going on about what a great body he has.
I mean, everything about this is utterly delightful.
#mr gardiner and mrs gardiner chatting about how hot darcy is while elizabeth is too overwhelmed to even notice is everything #the adaptations really drop the ball on the sheer comedic value of this moment imo #the pemberley scenes are GOLD
At length every idea seemed to fail him; and, after standing a few moments without saying a word, he suddenly recollected himself, and took leave.
The others then joined her, and expressed admiration of his figure
