"She attracted him more than he liked; and Miss Bingly was uncivil to her, and more teasing than usual to himself. He wisely resolved to be particularly careful that no sign of admiration should now escape him" (60).
Mr. Darcy clearly is beginning to be attracted to Elizabeth and people are starting to notice especially Miss Bingly. Darcy does not want people to notice that he is attracted to Elizabeth because he thinks, and has made it quite clear, that the Bennet girls didn't leave up to his standards, which he portrays as very high. However, we can see that his standards are not so high after all because of his attraction to Elizabeth but, he doesn't want that to be known because it would be completely contradictory to everything he has ever said.
The reader can infer that Mr. Collins' high manners are because of
a) politeness
b) arrogance
c) rudness
d) nerves
