Yes, walking this street on the arm of Mr. Darcy would indeed be delightful. She made a note of where particular stores of interest were so she could mention them to him when next they spoke. It was not that she wished to purchase anything inside of them, it was just that the glimpse through an open door or window was enough to arouse her curiosity.
