This from the Lit notes looks pretty funny:
"Will you (Elizabeth) tell me how long you have loved (Darcy)?"
"it has been coming on so gradually, that I hardly know when it began. But I believe I must date it from my first seeing his beautiful grounds at Pemberley."
-- Pride and Prejudice, Vol III, Chap X IIV
For those who don't do P&P, Elizabeth rejected Darcy when he proposed to her earlier. This is set soon after she accepts his second proposal (sort of).
Conclusion? If you want to get married, you need beautiful grounds. So go buy a biiig plot of land, and plant flowers and trees, then you will have beautiful grounds. Gold courses, backyards, frontyards do not count. o.O
