“He loves me,” Lydia said above Dash’s growl.

“You are not good enough for him,” Lady Catherine snapped.

Dash positioned himself in front of Lydia and barked, startling Lady Catherine.

“I think those are fine items for which to look,” Darcy replied.

Elizabeth was quite impressed by her sister’s demeanor until they were just about to go in search of their first store.
