Her attention is easily diverted... Written by Anne-Marie (4/12/2010 3:08 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, Yes, she is silly, but remember that it is now her primary, penned by AnnetteJ

Mrs. B. is so upset at the thought of Lizzy getting preferential treatment that it's enough to distract her from Mr. B.'s refusal to call upon Bingley. I think it's an important clue to her character (but I will say no more, lest I spoil the story).
