No one but Mrs. Bennet regretted that their stay would be so short; and she made the most of the time by visiting about with her daughter, and having very frequent parties at home. These parties were acceptable to all; to avoid a family circle was even more desirable to such as did think, than such as did not.
Bennet, ne regrettait la brieveté de leur séjour. Elle employa tout ce temps a faire des visites avec sa fille, et a organiser chez elle de nombreuses réceptions qui firent plaisir a tout le monde, certains membres de la famille ne demandant qu’a éviter l’intimité.
