Nervous cough? Written by Jean B (5/3/2007 12:30 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, TB? Nonsense!, penned by Spencer

It just seems that it is just a nervous cough. Mr. Bennet teases her saying "Kitty has no discretion in her coughs...she times them ill" if Kitty was coughing from illness I doubt that even Mr. Bennet, with his scarcasm, would joke about it.

My belief is that JA was just highlighting Mrs. B's nerves and Kitty bears the brunt this time.
