Miss Darcy was tall, and on a larger scale than Elizabeth; and,

though little more than sixteen, her figure was formed, and her

appearance womanly and graceful. She was less handsome than her

brother, but there was sense and good-humour in her face, and her

manners were perfectly unassuming and gentle. Elizabeth, who had

expected to find in her as acute and unembarrassed an observer as

ever Mr. Darcy had been, was much relieved by discerning such

different feelings.
