:22:04
Oh, dear.
I cannot tease you about that.
:22:08
What a shame,
for I dearly love to laugh.
:22:10
A family trait, I think.
:22:39
A Mrs Bennet, a Miss Bennet,
a Miss Bennet and a Miss Bennet, sir.
:22:45
Are we to receive every
Bennet in the country?
:22:50
What an excellent room you have, sir.
:22:54
Such expensive furnishings.
:22:57
I do hope
you intend to stay here, Mr Bingley.
:23:00
Absolutely, I find the country
very diverting. Don't you agree, Darcy?
:23:05
I find it perfectly adequate.
:23:07
Even if society
is a little less varied than in town.
:23:10
Less varied? Not at all.
:23:12
We dine with four and 20 families
of all shapes and sizes.
:23:16
Sir William Lucas, for instance,
is a very agreeable man.
:23:20
And a good deal less self-important
than some people half his rank.
:23:24
Mr Bingley,
is it true you will hold a ball here?
:23:28
A ball?
:23:29
It would be an excellent way to meet new
friends. You could invite the militia.
:23:34
- Oh, do hold a ball!
- Kitty!
:23:36
When your sister recovers,
you shall name the day.
:23:39
I think a ball is an irrational way
to gain new acquaintance.
:23:44
It would be better if conversation,
not dancing, were the order of the day.
:23:48
Indeed, much more rational,
but rather less like a ball.
:23:52
Thank you, Mary.
:23:55
What a fine imposing place to be sure,
is it not, my dears?
:23:59
There's no house
to equal it in the county.
