To spare Written by OlgaI (4/21/2010 3:37 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, Why does he have to say that?, penned by Graciela

her effusions on Mr Collins' villainous inheriting the estate entailed on him :)

So Mr B just says the essence of her supposed speach (heard many times over it is to believe) himself and so she has no much room to elaborate on this topic. This tactics really works sometimes :)

I agree that Mr Bennet is provoking very often. But I can understand him...
