Elizabeth is surprised by a visit from Darcy. Their conversation is best described as awkward. Elizabeth eventually is emboldened to ask Darcy about his sudden departing from Netherfield. Darcy suggests that Bingley is not likely to return there because of his connections in London. After Darcy leaves, Charlotte tells Elizabeth that the only explanation for Darcy's odd behaviour in calling on her is that he must be in love with her. Elizabeth finds this idea hard to believe.
