The Housekeeper

Pemberly was most definitely grand, but not in the sense that I expected it to be. It was impressive, but not overly boastful, and though it was a large mansion, it had a warmth to it that I cannot explain. The housekeeper helping with the tour had nothing but good things to say about Darcy as a boy, and I was very surprised to hear this. I wondered who Darcy was fooling- this single housekeeper or me and generally the rest of Hertfordshire? Suddenly Darcy himself appeared, and in his own home he seemed to act as the kind gentleman that the housekeeper had described. I was shocked at this change of character, and I am beginning to question if Mr. Darcy is a more dimensional person than I thought.
