It can be interpreted either way... Written by Karen G (4/12/2010 1:48 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, Is that how you read that?, penned by Laraine

...and someone like Lizzy would have caught that. Someone like Mrs. Bennet would not. And think Mr. Bennet meant for it to be a double entendre. :) I think one will never know for sure... he could have been somewhat truthful but teasing all the same. I think he certainly was teasing about Mr. Bingley possibly being attracted to Mrs. B., though. We will never be able to see Mrs. Bennet through the eyes of a lover (current or former), but really! ;D
