Foreword
This lighthearted story was born from a simple photograph taken in the university library and a playful comment from a student who saw in his professor a heroine straight out of a Jane Austen novel. What followed was a humorous exchange that quickly grew into a small literary adventure.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IccfdVL5j
In this tale, everyday academic life meets the charm of classic English literature, reminding us that even in the quiet halls of a university, wit, imagination, and Austen-style drama can unexpectedly appear.
The story is co-written by Professor Victoria and her student Ali, whose good humour and creativity inspired this cheerful episode.

***
The university library always had its own special atmosphere: a mix of old pages, morning coffee, and that gentle academic snobbism that literature students breathed as naturally as oxygen.
That day, Professor Victoria was standing by a tall bookshelf, posing for a photo — not out of vanity, but to prove that the Department of English Literature was still alive, still standing, and still capable of looking elegant despite deadlines, essays, and three cups of coffee per person.
When the photo appeared in the student chat, the first to react was Ali — a student with a romantic soul and a talent for dramatic comments.
He wrote:
“Viku 🥰🥰🥰 you look like you just stepped out of a Jane Austen novel… absolutely perfect! 🥰❤️📖✨”
The library almost blushed, and Victoria imagined, for a second, how students in the 19th century would write such comments with a feather pen, sighing deeply after every word.
With a smile, she replied:
“Only if you’re Mr. Darcy then 😁📖✨”
And that… was the beginning of everything.
From that moment, Ali officially declared himself the University Darcy.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZf9qxvp7VF
No voting. No discussion. A purely self-appointed title — very much in the spirit of the Romantic era.
He started walking into lectures as if an invisible orchestra was playing behind him.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwaFOftyln
He looked serious, like a man who might confess his feelings at any moment — but only in a complicated, slightly proud Darcy-style way.
He began quoting Jane Austen everywhere — in the hallway, in the cafeteria, even while waiting for the photocopier. His favourite line became:
“I cannot fix on the hour, or the spot, or the look or the words… which laid the foundation.”364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1dTU42L6a
— which he used whether he was talking about literature, homework, or why he forgot his notebook again.
He even tried to open the heavy department door “like a true gentleman.”364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYhcUWpgoN
Unfortunately, the door opened in the opposite direction, and both professor and “Darcy” almost fell into the corridor.
“Darcy,” Victoria said calmly, trying to keep her dignity, “next time check the hinges.”
Ali nodded so proudly, it looked like he had received a secret mission.
During the seminar, he raised his hand:364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbl8OlFH7Gv
“Professor Victoria… may I answer in the style of Jane Austen?”
“Only if you are not planning a romantic confession,” she warned.
Ali sighed dramatically:364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9dob9rAoV
“Then… maybe in the style of Mr. Bingley?”
And so a new university legend was born:364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4ufwftFfP
The professor who looked like she stepped out of a Jane Austen novel — and the student who tried so hard to become Mr. Darcy that he almost deserved extra academic credit for it.
The librarians listened secretly, the teachers discussed it, the students laughed — and everyone agreed that this duo brought more life and literature into the university than all the textbooks combined.
By the end of the semester, it was clear:364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCupzaWvefO
if anyone revived the spirit of English classics at the university,364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXfe1Sz0j5
it was Professor Victoria364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfQ5GgPyzv
and her persistent, dramatic, and absolutely charming “Darcy” — Ali.
