There was certainly at this moment, in Elizabeth’s mind, a more gentle sensation towards the original, that she had ever felt in the height of their acquaintance.
– Jane Austen
Pride and Prejudice, Chapter 43. This line speaks to Elizabeth’s changing relationship with Darcy on her first visit to Pemberley. As she contemplates the smiling portrait of Darcy in the gallery and after his servant speaks so highly of him, she has a "more gentle" feeling towards the real Darcy. The realization of her love for him perhaps?
