What on earth did you say to Isola? She stopped in on her way to pick up Pride and Prejudice and to berate me for never telling her about Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy. Why hadn't she known there were better love stories around? Stories not riddled with ill-adjusted men, anguish, death and graveyards! Mary Ann Shaffer
About This Quote

When Elizabeth Bennet was telling Jane about the book she read, she mentioned that she loved the book because she “fell in love with Mr. Darcy”. Isola was shocked to hear that someone loved a book so much that they fell in love with the characters. Her shock turned to anger when Elizabeth revealed that Mr. Darcy was not a bad man after all, but in fact, very kind.
