Tumblr crosspost (8 June 2020)

In the former were many good paintings; but Elizabeth knew nothing of the art; and from such as had been already visible below, she had willingly turned to look at some drawings of Miss Darcy’s, in crayons, whose subjects were usually more interesting, and also more intelligible.

To this day, I’m not sure if I’m more delighted that a) Darcy collects pretentious incomprehensible art, b) he also collects Georgiana’s art and has it shown off at Pemberley when she isn’t even there, or c) Elizabeth genuinely likes Georgiana’s drawings and will undoubtedly be super supportive after her marriage.
