one communication would, therefore, do for all Written by Stephanie (5/11/2010 1:42 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, I expect Mary is imitating her father by retiring..., penned by Adrian

That Kitty and Mary are with Mrs. Bennett when the letter is read to her is some slight evidence that they 'changed' (started helping with Mrs. Bennett) when Elizabeth returned home. Presumably, while Jane and Elizabeth were out walking, they were to be Mrs. Bennett's attendants, allowing their sisters a brief respite.
