Oh! I have finally caught up with the reading, now to catch up with the posts! How do you guys do it?

While finishing the chapters, this scene really caught my eye, as well as JA's clever way of saying it. It is in the beginning of chapter 4, part 2, where Mrs. Clay made a "decent pretence" of meaning to leave them. Of course Elizabeth says the rude comment of Anne being nothing to her and SW earnestly urges her to stay, even to say that she has a "fine mind" that would want to see the beauty of Mrs. Wallis ( Ha! It's so funny to see the extent of thier lack of depth that a fine mind would be satisfied by just a glance of a pretty face! Anyways, tangent...).
