It is very rude, very impolite, very ill-bred of kathleen (elder) (4/12/2010 8:00 a.m.)
Petulance Elizabeth K (4/12/2010 5:02 a.m.)
- Maybe Darcy is avoiding THE Mrs. Bennets! Akaruihi (4/14/2010 9:57 a.m.)

        Giving offense   Cheryl (4/13/2010 10:48 a.m.)
        
        I've always read it that way, as well   kathleen (elder) (4/13/2010 11:13 a.m.)

    - Perhaps... Elizabeth K (4/12/2010 11:22 a.m.)
      - Do we know their respective ages at this point? CarolTS (4/12/2010 12:22 p.m.)
      - We still have the system here Elbč (4/12/2010 11:31 a.m.)
Definitely Agree BarbaraB (4/12/2010 2:03 a.m.)
- Darcy's insults meant to be overheard? Elbč (4/12/2010 10:30 a.m.)
  - Charlotte's overhearings were about Mr Bingley's comments Lou C (4/14/2010 9:55 a.m.)
  - Probably! and playing hard to get.. Akaruihi (4/14/2010 5:26 a.m.)
    - He didn't give Elizabeth much thought Elbč (4/16/2010 9:29 a.m.)
  - But since Elizabeth had told the story Kathleen Glancy (4/12/2010 1:11 p.m.)
    - Ah- forgot about that! - nfm Elbč (4/12/2010 5:08 p.m.)
  - Intention or indifference? Cheryl (4/12/2010 10:50 a.m.)
    - I also asked myself this question Connie (4/12/2010 10:55 a.m.)
      - I think its more to Bingley: Elbč (4/12/2010 11:22 a.m.)
- Agree maud l (4/12/2010 3:38 a.m.)
  - And IMO very much caught up with the concept of class and AnnetteJ (4/12/2010 8:35 a.m.)
Or how about those LisaS (4/12/2010 1:51 a.m.)
