The manner of your declaration has affected me only in one way:--it has spared me the concern which I might otherwise have felt in refusing you, had you behaved in a more gentlemanlike way. (DARCY starts.) You could not, however, have made me the offer of your hand in any possible way that would have tempted me to accept it. (DARCY looks at her with an expression of mortified amazement.) I had not known you a month, before I felt that you were the last man in the world whom I could ever be prevailed upon to marry.
