"The possibility of his having really endured such unkindness, was enough to interest all her tender feelings; and nothing therefore remained to be done, but to think well of them both, to defend the conduct of each, and throw into the account of accident or mistake, whatever could not be explained otherwise" (64).

I like this quote about Jane. It shows her sweet personality. She's a hard character to relate to because she doesn't like to think badly of anyone and almost seems like she has no faults, but she's not a hard character to like, which is a good thing. She can't think badly of Mr. Darcy, and I think Bingley has a lot to do with that, because if they had not been such good friends, she would have no real evidence to base Darcy's goodness on. But she sees that it's difficult for Darcy and Bingley to be friends if Darcy is so terribly cruel as Wickham says.

"He smiled, and assured her that whatever she wished him to say should be said" (69).

Aw! This is my favorite line thus far in the book! How cute! He's so sweet and cute! This is the best part. He's so quiet, but when she prods him to talk, he makes it seem like he'd comply with whatever she wants. I love that. This is so cute! I just can't get over it. If Mr. Darcy was real, I would marry him. I. Would. Marry. Him.
