    _In the gallery there were many family portraits, but they could have little to fix the attention of a stranger. Elizabeth walked on in quest of the only face whose features would be known to her. At last it arrested her-and she beheld a striking resemblance of Mr. Darcy, with such a smile over the face, as she remembered to have sometimes seen, when he looked at her. She stood several minutes before the picture, in earnest contemplation, and returned to it again before they quitted the gallery. Mrs. Reynolds informed them, that it had been taken in his father’s lifetime._
    _There was certainly at this moment, in Elizabeth’s mind, a more gentle sensation towards the original than she had ever felt in the height of their acquaintance. The commendation bestowed on him by Mrs. Reynolds was of no trifling nature. What praise is more valuable than the praise of an intelligent servant? As a brother, a landlord, a master, she considered how many people’s happiness were in his guardianship! How much of pleasure or pain it was in his power to bestow! How much of good or evil must be done by him! Every idea that had been brought forward by the housekeeper was favourable to his character; and as she stood before the canvas, on which he was represented, and fixed his eyes upon herself, she thought of his regard with a deeper sentiment of gratitude than it had ever raised before: she remembered its warmth, and softened its impropriety of expression._
    _When all of the house that was open to general inspection had been seen, they returned down stairs; and, taking leave of the housekeeper, were consigned over to the gardener, who met them at the hall door._
    _As they walked across the lawn towards the river, Elizabeth turned back to look again; her uncle and aunt stopped also; and while the former was conjecturing as to the date of the building, the owner of it himself suddenly came forward from the road which led behind it to the stables._
    _They were within twenty yards of each other; and so abrupt was his appearance, that it was impossible to avoid his sight. Their eyes instantly met, and the cheeks of each were overspread with the deepest blush. He absolutely started, and for a moment seemed immovable from surprise; but shortly recovering himself, advanced towards the party, and spoke to Elizabeth, if not in terms of perfect composure, at least of perfect civility._
    _She had instinctively turned away; but stopping on his approach, received his compliments with an embarrassment impossible to be overcome. Had his first appearance, or his resemblance to the picture they had just been examining, been insufficient to assure the other two that they now saw Mr. Darcy, the gardener’s expression of surprise, on beholding his master, must immediately have told it. They stood a little aloof while he was talking to their niece, who, astonished and confused, scarcely dared lift her eyes to his face, and knew not what answer she returned to his civil inquiries after her family. Amazed at the alteration of his manner since they last parted, every sentence that he uttered was increasing her embarrassment; and every idea of the impropriety of her being found there recurring to her mind, the few minutes in which they continued together were some of the most uncomfortable of her life. Nor did he seem much more at ease; when he spoke, his accent had none of its usual sedateness; and he repeated his inquiries as to the time of her having left Longbourn, and of her stay in Derbyshire, so often, and in so hurried a way, as plainly spoke the distraction of his thoughts._
    _At length, every idea seemed to fail him; and after standing a few moments without saying a word, he suddenly recollected himself, and took leave._
    _The others then joined her, and expressed their admiration of his figure; but Elizabeth heard not a word, and, wholly engrossed by her own feelings, followed them in silence. She was overpowered by shame and vexation. Her coming there was the most unfortunate, the most ill-judged thing in the world! How strange must it appear to him! In what a disgraceful light might it not strike so vain a man! It might seem as if she had purposely thrown herself in his way again! Oh! why did she come? or, why did he thus come a day before he was expected? Had they been only ten minutes sooner, they should have been beyond the reach of his discrimination; for it was plain that he was that moment arrived, that moment alighted from his horse or his carriage. She blushed again and again over the perverseness of the meeting. And his behaviour, so strikingly altered,-what could it mean? That he should even speak to her was amazing!-but to speak with such civility, to inquire after her family! Never in her life had she seen his manners so little dignified, never had he spoken with such gentleness as on this unexpected meeting. What a contrast did it offer to his last address in Rosings Park, when he put his letter into her hand! She knew not what to think, or how to account for it._

    I like the subtlety of the 1980 version and the narration that gives more insight into Lizzy's thoughts. I always enjoy the more dramatic reactions of this meeting in the 95 version but the 1980 one is really nicely done.

    There should be another adaptation as it’s been 19 years since the last one but nothing will compare to the 1995 one for me that one is so so great and perfect casting ❤❤❤

    '95 will always be the best, but I found the Dutch one surprisingly moving. Her open apology, his gentleness...

    I love the way 1995 say "Mr. Darcy!" When she relises hes right there. Its alarm mixed with happiness.

    I guess the last major version was in 2005 ... other than the one with zombies, it's about time for a movie remake.

      The one with zombies is surprisingly loyalish. Other then the zombies bits.

      I'd like to see a movie version of "Mr. Darcy - vampyre!"
      It was a surprisingly readable book.

    95, definitely the best. But CLOSELY followed by 80, which was very very very well done.

      @@amaledition339I think it was tastefully done and he swam on a hot day while his head was on fire. It also added to the comedy of the scene, with him hurrying away in embarrassment and dressing so quickly to properly receive Elizabeth and the Gardners

    La versión de 1961 da miedo, es intimidante; la de 1967 es horrible, malos actores y peor vestuario; 1980 correcta; 1995 la mejor de todas; 2005 no me convence, una Lizzy que parece que tiene 13 años y el actor que representa a Mr Darcy no capta la esencia del personaje

      Yes, it’s not even close. Didn’t like the 2005 at all. 1980, I’ll have to see what was cut out. The Gardners are great, but for as much as I’ve been to handle of the 80 version, I can’t stand the acting for Elizabeth. She appears like an actress acting. And many of the actors in the ‘80 version have the same problem.
