Elizabeth Bennett's are hard to find too........, but not as hard as Darcy's.... and of course, it is way ,wat better 200 years il y a than now with chevaux and carriages and the clothes and other stuff.....:).
Yes , the manners are really good,...... being dignified in aspect is not a financial issue, treating others with respect should be the norm. Bowing is a recognition of that respect, especially towards females. I am not sure I would like to get up and down everytime a female enters ou leaves a room. I like the interplay of language, it is very precisely formed and works well in any romantic situation.I cannot see many females liking Darcy, if he comes across a moor at dawn and says, " Hey, Babe, I really fancy you, how about it " ???..... while chewing gum like a cow...(: (: (:
