Love oxymorons, here's another one. Written by BarbaraB (5/18/2010 2:45 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, Nice one! Grammarians: What do you call these?, penned by jeffrey

I am always looking for these when I read JA. She is so good at them and generally she manages to use them humorously. I marked this one as I was reading (three weeks after Lydia has gone with the Foresters and Mrs. B has been missing her): "Mrs. Bennet was restored to her usual querulous serenity." (42) :)
