(Looking after them.) Well, Lady Lucas, it is hard for a lively young girl like my Lydia to be cooped up in a place where there is so little going on. However, (Looking at BINGLEY and JANE.) we are not likely to have it so very dull in the future. (In a loud whisper to LADY (LADY LUCAS: Ah! Indeed!) [With importance and in a still louder tone.) Oh, yes! It's quite settled. Such a charming young man--and Netherfield only three miles from Longbourn! And Jane's marrying will be a fine thing for my other girls. They will be sure to meet other rich men who will fall in love with them. (ELIZABETH: Oh, mamma! Be careful, I beg. Mr. Darcy can hear you!) What is Mr. Darcy to me, pray, that I should be afraid of him? I am sure we owe him no such particular civility as to be obliged to say nothing he may not like to hear!
