Elizabeth has to be a little impolite in ignoring Darcy's request that Mr. Gardiner take the credit. But by breaking the rules, Elizabeth allows for their climactic emotional exchange. While there is no explicit marriage proposal from Darcy yet, everything hinges on Elizabeth's growth as a character and ability to overcome her prejudice. Selfish plans based on class prejudice all backfire in this novel. Just as Elizabeth was humbled after she learned the truth about Darcy, so Darcy learned humility in realizing that his pride injured her and prevented his own happiness. Darcy does penance for his blatantly wrong decision to lie and must ask forgiveness: another example that Darcy has relinquished his pride.
