But Mrs. Bennet, who had calculated on her daughters remaining at Netherfield till the following Tuesday, which would exactly finish Jane's week, could not bring herself to receive them with pleasure before. Her answer, therefore, was not propitious, at least not to Elizabeth's wishes, for she was impatient to get home.
Bennet qui avait calculé que ses filles resteraient une semaine entiere a Netherfield envisageait sans plaisir un si prompt retour. Elle répondit donc qu’elles ne pourraient pas avoir la voiture avant le mardi, ajoutant en post-scriptum que si l’on insistait pour les garder plus longtemps on pouvait bien se passer d’elles a Longbourn.
