Elizabeth Bennet had been so lonely since Papa died. That was why her conversations with Mr. Darcy delighted her so much. And she loved how he doted on his sweet daughter. It would be easy to fall in love with him. She must not. Mr. Darcy was also an arrogant man who viewed himself as better than the neighborhood. He frequently declared that he would never marry again.
