The feelings of a man

“You might have talked to me more when you came to dinner.” [Elizabeth]

“A man who had felt less might.” [Darcy]

Lizzy and Darcy reflecting on the rough progression of things, how when it finally came down to it, they were both embarrassed and awkward.
Pride & Prejudice, volume 3, chapter 18
