** For that matter, Darcy takes very well to the Gardiners, who are even ''lower'' than Bingley by being in trade rather than simply inheriting fortunes. Their first meeting is at Pemberley, and whatever their position is, he almost immediately likes them because they are sane, level-headed, and as astute as Elizabeth. It's noted part of the reason he goes back and confesses his pulling Bingley away from Jane is because he didn't realize Elizabeth had such relatives, but the moment he does figure it out, goes back to say "nevermind, there are plenty of people with sense we just hadn't met yet."

* Jane and Bingley are both thrilled at Elizabeth and Darcy getting engaged. Jane says that they'd talked about the possibility before it actually happened, and that as Bingley's best friend and Elizabeth's husband, they're the only two people she could possibly love more than Darcy. When Bingley arrives the next day, Elizabeth can tell he's the first person Darcy told, because he looks thrilled and immediately contrives a way for Mrs. Bennet to let them have some time alone by pretending he wants time alone with Jane (of course, he ''does'' want time alone with Jane, but his ulterior motives are clear).
* A small exchange from the 1995 series after Darcy returns home a day early, asking Elizabeth what she thinks of Pemberly. She compliments it, and Darcy wears a look of genuine delight when he says "then you approve of it?" Darcy is the richest man in Derbyshire, lives in a BigFancyHouse on an estate whose perimeter is ''ten miles'' around, and he's as nervous as a schoolboy over whether or not Elizabeth is going to like it.

* Darcy's graciousness to the Gardiners. One of the biggest objections he and the Bingley sisters have to marrying into the Bennets' family was that they were related to people who actually worked for their money, rather than just owning profitable land. Elizabeth is looking for his reaction when she introduces them to him, since he mistook them for "people of fashion," not her working-class relatives she's been repeatedly taunted over. But Darcy doesn't miss a beat and is perfectly courteous and kind to them, and grows to love them as much as Elizabeth does. They might be in trade, but they are the most level-headed, kind, and intelligent relatives Lizzy has. The very last lines of the book show that the Gardiners visit them often and are extremely close to the couple.

** While it ultimately is unnecessary, overstepping, and causes a lot of heartache, even Darcy telling Bingley not to marry Jane is a version of this. Because Bingley is a noted ExtremeDoormat and extreme romantic, Darcy is clearly protective of his friend and, believing Jane is simply after his money, warns him off what he believes will be a loveless marriage.

The first half-hour was spent in piling up the fire, lest she should suffer from the change of room; and she removed at his desire to the other side of the fireplace, that she might be further from the door. He then sat down by her, and talked scarcely to anyone else.
