She took a seat in the one chair that faced the door but was positioned in such a fashion that its occupant could share in the conversation at the hearth to their right or with Darcy while he sat at his desk on the left. It was a plush chair with a wide seat of creamy fabric decorated with flowers and vines.

She smoothed her skirt and looked up to see Darcy staring at her.

“Am I not supposed to sit here?” She made to move.

“No. Stay as you are. You are so charmingly arranged.”

[from Delighting Mrs. Bennet]

“I do hope you enjoy your visit.” Darcy nudged his horse forward. He had no desire to remain here talking with Wickham.

“If you do not wish to read, then why are you here?”

“To disturb you,” Jane replied with a laugh, “and to retrieve a book. Just because I do not enjoy reading as much as you do, does not mean I do not read.” She squeezed her sister’s arm and lowered her voice. “This could be your library.”
