Mr. Darcy

I love Jane Austen's books.
Her words wholeheartedly and perfectly explain how I feel sometimes.
Like this: 


But the one that has stuck with me is this :

And this is true for me.
I like to refer to my husband as 'Mr.Darcy'
I do this not just because he's the 'dream man' in a book but because my husband actually has the same personality as Mr. Darcy
Mr Darcy is depicted as cold and aloof, prideful, arrogant, distant,and apparently contemptuous of those around him  But , Darcy's seemingly arrogant character masks a sincerely generous and upright nature, having taken on the responsibilities of the family and caring for his younger sister at such a young age, Mr. Darcy is revealed to actually be very caring and thoughtful. Mr. Darcy falls for Elizabeth Bennet and while seems uncomfortable with his own emotions,unsure how to show her and tell her of his affections, he loves her with everything he is. 
So when I refer to him as Mr.Darcy it is a statement as to his aloofness but also to his loving kindness and unselfishness.
