Ms Bennet and Mr. Darcy

Just finished reading about Ms Bennet and Mr Darcy in Pride and Prejudice. Good fun. This is my first Jane Austen. Reminded me of two real life characters(Sorry cant name them ). Just like Lizzy, she started with a a lot of hatred for him. But later on things started changing when lizzy met this real life Mr Darcy, who was not all that rich as given in the book. One got ill. Other took leave to be with the patient. Spent time together. Their liking for each other increased and disliking decreased. Now they are planning to get married. But still some drama left. So this real life story is still not over.
