She does, actually, in the next paragraph :-) Written by Line (10/6/2008 5:45 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, Sarcastic omniiscient narrator, penned by CarolTS

[Elizabeth] had the remembrance of all this, she had the consciousness of being nine-and-twenty, to give her some regrets and some apprehensions: she was fully satisfied of being still quite as handsome as ever, but she felt her approach to the years of danger, and would have rejoiced to be certain of being properly solicited by baronet-blood within the next twelvemonth or two.

I agree the Omniscient Narrator speaks with an ironic tone, but I think she is telling us the facts, nevertheless.
