The phrase struck me this reading too Written by JulieW (5/17/2007 2:44 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, In the Annotated Version, penned by Emmy

so I researched it: I can find no commonly accepted phrase from this era similar to Mrs Bennet's. I really don't think it was in common usage at all.

I think it indicates rather the limit of Mrs Bennets geographical knowledge...l;ets keep a look out for other references, shall we? ;-)
