"But no sooner had he made it clear to himself and his friends that she hardly had a good feature in her face, than he began to find it was rendered uncommonly intelligent by the beautiful expression of her dark eyes. To this discovery succeeded some others equally mortifying. Though he had detected with a critical eye more than one failure of perfect symmetry in her form, he was forced to acknowledge her figure to be light and pleasing; and in spite of his asserting that her manners were not those of the fashionable world, he was caught by their easy playfulness" (18).
I like this passage because it reveals to the reader's that Mr. Darcy has fallen for Elizabeth, but has a funny way of showing it. He picks apart her every feature and action and criticizes them like she's someone he would never go for. While at the same time admires those little flaws; "beautiful expression", "intelligent", "easy playfulness". In other words, Darcy admires everything about Elizabeth and feels like she is the perfect girl for him.
