I went to the Jane Austen Centre in Bath back in December so naturally there were Christmas decorations for sale in the gift shop. It was late enough that some were reduced, so naturally I had to get Elizabeth and Mr Darcy and now they both live on my shelf in my bedroom.
Elizabeth looks nice enough (slightly questionable facial expression but I choose to believe that this was her exact face when Mr Collins proposed):
But I was a cheapskate and so I ended up getting a Darcy who, put it this way, is aesthetically (and vertically) challenged...:
(I can only assume that they had already sold out of the nicer Darcy ones)
Personally I love them as a pair because Darcy would be so offended to be depicted like this. Maybe if he had been able to see such an effigy of himself then he wouldn't have been so conceited.
This is what was on Darcy's shoulder, whispering into his ear: 'Insult her family when you propose. Do it. You know you want to.'
Darcy: I have no wish of denying that I did everything in my power to separate my friend from your sister, or that I rejoice in my success.
The Doll: YES!! YESSSSSSS!!!!!! NOW ADD MORE INSULTS!!!!
Darcy: Towards him I have been kinder than towards myself.
