A brief conversation at the assembly makes him view his new neighbours, especially Miss Elizabeth Bennet, in a new light. For how can he refuse to acknowledge that everyone has a deeper story when he has one himself? Having had his eyes opened by the ton's willingness to believe the worst about him, he recognizes Elizabeth's worth.
