"I do not believe Mrs. Long will do any such thing. She has two nieces of her own. She is a selfish, hypocritical woman, and I have no opinion of her. "
"No more have I, " said Mr. Bennet; "and I am glad to find that you do not depend on her serving you. "

"I do not cough for my own amusement, " replied Kitty fretfully. "When is your next ball to be, Lizzy?"
"To-morrow fortnight. "
