to trifle with so much dignified impertinence Written by Stephanie (4/26/2010 11:17 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, The Bennet girls' education, penned by Cheryl

Do not forget: Elizabeth's offhand defense of her parent's child-rearing decisions might not be her unabridged opinion. She might be responding to an impertinent questioner as mildly as possible, not wanting to be in the unenviable position of agreeing about her parent's faults with a recent acquaintance who is so judgmental and rude.
