 All things considered (Darcy accuses himself of acting like a “miserly accountant, adding up the assets of his lady on one side of the ledger”) Darcy concludes that (1) he admires Elizabeth, (2) he is attracted to her, (3) he is fascinated by her conversation and wit, and finally (4) he loves her.And when he thinks of negative factors, he recalled Shakespeare's, “Let me not to the marriage of true minds admit impediments.”

Darcy begins to fear that, if he does not take action, he will lose this treasure.He must act now.
