Event
Darcy's Second Proposal
Walking out from Longbourn with the others, Elizabeth at last thanks Mr. Darcy for all he secretly did for her family. He answers that her thanks are unnecessary, and tells her that his affections and wishes are unchanged. She gives him to understand that her own feelings have undergone so material a change that she now receives his assurances with gratitude and pleasure. They walk on together, no longer at odds, and an engagement is settled between them.
