3 "Indeed, Mamma, you are mistaken," said Elizabeth, blushing for her mother.
4 Jane was as much gratified by this as her mother could be, though in a quieter way.
5 My dear Mr. Bennet, you must not expect such girls to have the sense of their father and mother.

8 After sitting a little while with Jane, on Miss Bingley's appearance and invitation, the mother and three daughters all attended her into the breakfast parlour.
9 Elizabeth, for the sake of saying something that might turn her mother's thoughts, now asked her if Charlotte Lucas had been at Longbourn since her coming away.
