If your feelings are still what they were last April, tell me so at once. My affections and wishes are unchanged; but one word from you will silence me on this subject forever.' Elizabeth responds, 'Mr. Darcy, I never wished to deceive you, or to make you believe that I felt more than I do. I am yours. I never wished to tell you this before, because I have wanted to test your constancy and your attachment.' This exchange demonstrates the importance of 'enough' in expressing one's feelings and establishing a meaningful relationship.
