Their Censure may be Praise Written by Robbin (4/15/2010 9:23 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, A great reader, penned by Barbara

"But perhaps the abuse of such people as yourself and Marianne, will make amends for the regard of Lady Middleton and her mother. If their praise is censure, your censure may be praise; for they are not more undiscerning, than you are prejudiced and unjust." (S&S, Ch. 10)

Oh Barbara now that you tell me it is so clear! (:D) I like the idea Lizzy is reacting to the implication she is socially backward and Darcy is separating himself from his friends. Ridicule of this nature is something I think Lizzy is ready to pounce on anyway and rather expects from the sisters. (:D)
