Jane Austen
Mrs. Bennet, had to wait for their carriage a quarter of an hour after everybody else was
gone, which gave them time to see how heartily they were wished away by some of the
family. Mrs. Hurst and her sister scarcely opened their mouths, except to complain of
fatigue, and were evidently impatient to have the house to themselves. They repulsed every
attempt of Mrs. Bennet at conversation, and by so doing threw a languor over the whole
party, which was very little relieved by the long speeches of Mr. Collins, who was
complimenting Mr. Bingley and his sisters on the elegance of their entertainment, and the
hospitality and politeness which had marked their behaviour to their guests. Darcy said
nothing at all. Mr. Bennet, in equal silence, was enjoying the scene. Mr. Bingley and Jane
were standing together, a little detached from the rest, and talked only to each other.
