Mrs. Bennet was diffuse in her good wishes for the felicity of her daughter, and impressive in her injunctions that she should not miss the opportunity of enjoying herself as much as possible--advice which there was every reason to believe would be well attended to; and in the clamorous happiness of Lydia herself in bidding farewell, the more gentle adieus of her sisters were uttered without being heard.
Mrs. Bennet ömlengve kívánt leányának minden jót, és többször is a lelkére kötötte, hogy használjon ki minden alkalmat, és mulasson mennél jobban - pedig nem kellett félni, hogy Lydia nem fogadja meg ezt a tanácsot. Maga Lydia olyan hangos jókedvvel búcsúzott, hogy nővéreinek szelídebb istenhozzádjait senki sem hallotta.
