Agreed. Written by nan duval (5/5/2007 5:37 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, I don't see why you think..., penned by Karen 2L

I think Lizzie is familiar with the allusion but is pushing the metaphor, in a bristly manner to avoid Darcy's confusing her attention with Caroline's. I believe her interruption is also meant to halt her mother's embarrassing references to Jane's old suitor & make sure that Mrs. Bennett's little train of thought is derailed so she can't get it going again.
