Pride and Prejudice
When Elizabeth first mentions Wickham to Darcy while dancing how does Darcy respond?
?

Darcy's first response is to pull back...... his demeanor was initially (and for a change) welcoming. He wanted to dance with Elizabeth, but her mention of Wickham leaves Dacy cold and unresponsive.
"The effect was immediate. A deeper shade of hauteur overspread his features..."
