in consequence of the missive, Good catch…, penned by Robbin
The paragraph that follows suggests he is awful rather that awe-ful: Elizabeth thought she could perceive that he was rather offended....Miss Bingley warmly resented the indignity he had received.... I too have never quite understood the purpose of the line; it seems a gratuitous insult for the warm hearted Bingley. But if his design really is to silence the argument, it is better for him to insult his friend than a lady (especially the sister of a woman he admires!) |
