What a pair!!!

Mrs. Bennet wished to understand by it that he thought of paying his addresses to one of her younger girls, and Mary might have been prevailed on to accept him. She rated his abilities much higher than any of the others; there was a solidity in his reflections which often struck her, and though by no means so clever as herself, she thought that if encouraged to read and improve himself by such an example as her's, he might become a very agreeable companion.

Just imagine those two together!!! There would have been a sort of feedback between them, strengthening the "pompousness". I am so glad Jane Austen didn't get the two married!!!!
