i sat on your chair by the fire
The job, which was supposed to be simple—a couple of Type Ones in an old mansion its new inheritors are looking to sell—is anything but. Lucy's far too preoccupied with distracting the ghost to notice the floor running out beneath her feet. She does notice eventually, though only when she falls down an entire flight of stairs, landing rather painfully on her shoulder and cracking her head against the banister. Lucy gets hurt on a job. Lockwood and George are worried.

Elizabeth, having rather expected to affront him, was amazed at his gallantry; but there was a mixture of sweetness and archness in her manner which made it difficult for her to affront anybody; and Darcy had never been so bewitched by any woman as he was by her. Lockwood’s black pen spouted the connotations of specific words used to describe love and the pragmatic view of romance Austen was apparently endorsing. But the blue pen silently underlined the final clause.
