Nothing is more deceitful,” said Darcy, “than the appearance of humility. It is often only carelessness of opinion, and sometimes an indirect boast.” (47) “I have faults enough but they are not, I hope, of understanding. My temper I dare not vouch for.-it is I believe too little yielding- certainly too little for the convenience of the world. I cannot forget the follies and vices of others so soon as I ought, nor their offences against myself. My feelings are not puffed about with every attempt to move them. My temper would perhaps be called resentful.- My good opinion once lost is lost for ever. (57)
