Mr. Bennet's emotions were much more tranquil on the occasion, and such as he did experience he pronounced to be of a most agreeable sort; for it gratified him, he said, to discover that Charlotte Lucas, whom he had been used to think tolerably sensible, was as foolish as his wife, and more foolish than his daughter!
Mr. Bennet indulatait sokkal kevésbé kavarta fel ez az eset, s amit érzett, az saját szavai szerint igen kellemesen érintette: örömmel fedezte fel ugyanis, hogy Charlotte Lucas, akit eddig elég okos teremtésnek tartott, éppolyan ostoba, mint az ő felesége, és ostobább, mint a lánya!
