Context
Arthur De Bourgh arrives at Pemberley from Oxford, and nobody seems to be around to welcome him. He wanders into the library and starts to look at a map that Mary was looking at the night before. Mary comes in and introduces herself to him, and they immediately realize that they have a lot in common. They both love books and they both dream of seeing the world. They are intrigued by one another and also very awkward because neither of them have great social skills.

Start: ARTHUR: Mr. Darcy? Hello? I鈥檓 looking for...well, anyone at this point.
He notices the tree. Then immediately sees the library and heads with relief right to the open map Mary left from last night. Mary enters.
MARY: Excuse me, sir, but that is not your map.
ARTHUR: Oh. Hello. No. However I am acquainted with the man who I presume is its owner. I am, in fact, mid-search for Mr. Darcy at present. I have only just arrived. If you might be kind enough to orient me in his general direction?
MARY: If you might be kind enough to introduce yourself. Miss Mary Bennet.
[.. ... ..]
End: ARTHUR: Oh my.
MARY: 鈥攖he best course of action, much like the bear encounters I鈥檝e read of, is to remain calm, declare peace, and back slowly away.
ARTHUR: Thank you, Miss Bennet. I often find myself quite un- prepared for the complexities of...people. I do appreciate the primer.
MARY: (Amused by his serious reaction.) I should not misrepresent my sister. Lydia is thought by many to be delightful and deserves as much kindness and patience as anyone, I suppose.
