Hey everyone welcome back, or hello for the first time. We left off with a very sick Jane and a very fed of Lizzy both staying at the Netherfield residence with the poor boys not really knowing what to do with their feelings.
Chapter 10 starts with Darcy writing a letter to his sister and with Miss Bingley flirting so hard that its kind of embarrassing to everyone else in the room, or it would be if anyone was paying attention. I am off the opinion that everyone who is part of the Bingley party is used to her. The fun part about chapter ten is that we get a deeper look at Bingley and Darcy's relationship and its something that the fan girls with the sketchy art would probably die over. Darcy pretty much messes with him in a very brotherly way about his willingness to be at pretty much anyone's disposal with little to no explanation as to why. Darcy thinks that if you are getting ready to leave and someone comes out and asks you to stay that you should need a reason to stay. Darcy says that Bingley would just get off his horse and stay. Darcy also messes with Bingley for being less humble than he appears. Lizzy thinks Darcy is being mean but Bingley reassures her in a way that makes me think Darcy messes with him a lot. Personally I think its cute, Lizzy misses it though and gets involved in arguing with Darcy about stuff that doesn't matter again until Bingley asks them to stop because he knows that Darcy will keep arguing about nonsense until he wins or someone makes him stop.

The best line of the chapter is actually Bingley talking about Darcy: "I assure you that if Darcy were not such a great tall fellow, in comparison with myself, I should not pay him half so much deference." Just throwing that in because I think it sums up their relationship in a playful way.
So things die down and Darcy asks the women to entertain him with music, which is something that the women back then did because they liked to show off. Lizzy starts to notice that Darcy is pretty much just creeper staring at her. He doesn't try to hide it just stares at her... Finally he starts talking but he can't just be nice, that would be against his nature, so he says something like aren't you going to dance the jig to the music, and she's all "Ha" and goes off on how he wants her to say yes so that he can call her common and instead she will say no so that he wont be able to laugh at her and therefore he wont have to like her and she finishes with, "despise me if you dare." She is all ready with her next come back but he just says, "Indeed I do not dare" and in the following paragraph we get the line, "Darcy had never been so bewitched by any woman as he was by her." Of all the things to be attracted to he would be attracted to her snarky comments wouldn't he.
Miss Bingley notices Darcy's attraction to Lizzy and so every time the poor thing leaves the room this jerk starts talking about all the horrible things that would happen if Darcy should ever marry Lizzy. She mentions Lizzy's poor family connections, her mother, her younger sisters' love for the soldiers, and Lizzy's pride. She tops it off by saying that no artist could capture Lizzy's "fine eyes" to which Darcy finally replies, may they could not capture their essence but any artist could capture their beautiful shape. Poor stupid Miss Bingley, you are way to into Darcy to have ever had an actual chance in gaining his affection.
Chapter 11 starts us off the next morning and Jane is finally well enough to get out of bed and join the group. The Bingley girls go all fake and start off very polite and make a fuss over her, Darcy says the expected glad your not dying any more, and Mr. Hurst (the guy who eats, sleeps, and plays cards) is more interested in someone playing cards with him. When no one wants to he literally just lays down on a couch and goes to sleep... WOW. Anyway Mr. Bingley is all over Jane, do you need anything, move over here, let me make the fire warmer. Its kind of cute and kind of sickening. So the two of them become engrossed with each other. Mrs. Hurst ( the older Bingley sister) just sits there and talks to them sometimes, and Miss Bingley is pestering Darcy again. Darcy is reading and trying really hard to stay that way. Miss Bingley starts off with a book (the second volume of whatever Darcy is reading) then she makes a comment about how you can never get bored when you are reading, and then she puts her book down.
Miss Bingley is that person who comes home, notices everyone is busy and instead of actually doing something just talks about how busy she is too that way people will stop what they are doing and pay attention to them. I greatly dislike people like this because they are always the random people on the bus who you don't know. The ones who have nothing better to do then look at you reading a book and go, "What book are you reading? What's it about? Do you like it?" its so annoying its like come on get your own book! Okay tirade over
So anyway after long expanses of complaining and still being ignored she gets up and walks around the room. Okay so if I am correct this is the original version of hair flipping to get a guys attention. She is seriously trying to get it so that Darcy watches her and yet he wont. Darcy at this point is completely ignoring her. Then she says the magic words, Hey Lizzy maybe you should walk around the room with me. Now I'm not sure why but Lizzy seems to do things randomly that seem sort of out of character for her like this, walking around the room for the viewing pleasure of the guys in the room, mainly Mr. Darcy, just doesn't seem like something she would do to me, but she agrees. The moment she stands up Darcy's eyes are glued to her and his book is closed. Miss Bingley picks up on it immediately and suggests that he join them. Darcy declines with a smart comment that he wants them to answer back to and Lizzy is like don't that's what he wants us to do and Miss Bingley asks anyway for his reasons. Darcy answers that they are either walking because they are talking to each other and in that case he would be intruding, or they are walking so that he can look at them, in which case he has a better view from his seat.
Can we just take a moment, ... sigh oh Darcy you sly, slightly perverted, cunning fox you.
Anyway Miss Bingley ends up getting pretty angry and she's all oh what should we do about him and Lizzy who at this point is probably just fed up with the crazy lady goes well shouldn't you know how to tease him, you are with him all the time. Would you like some ice for that burn muahahhaahahah.
So then Darcy and Lizzy commence in witty banter about what should be laughed at, leaving Miss Bingley out again (he he he) and Lizzy actually smiles
Then Darcy starts talking about his flaws and as he lists them they are: he is passive aggressive, he holds grudges, and once he looses respect for you its gone forever. His openness softens Lizzy and her retort.
The chapter ends with Darcy beginning "to feel the danger of paying Elizabeth too much attention."
OKAY so that's it for today, I will try to get on a better schedule than when ever I happen to have time, This week has been kind of crazy TT_TT Anyway I hope you enjoyed, follow me on twitter if you are knew or if you haven't started to yet that way you can find out when the blog has been updated (@KauruRoss). Thanks for reading ^_^
