Mrs. Bennet knows Written by Ramya (1/11/2004 12:22 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, Did Mrs. Bennet understand?, penned by Kathi

Though Mrs. Bennet does not get him many of times, she knows very well that she is being teased by her husband, but does not know how to respond to him.

This passage esp stuck me. When Mrs. Bennet is complaining abt Darcy to her husband, she says 'I wish you had been there to him him one of your set-downs.' The recipient of one of those might have been herself...'Ouch!'
