He was genuinely distressed to see her cry, but his interest was more acute that something be done to stop it before too much attention was accorded them. Mr. Bennet disliked very much to be made at all conspicuous. He slid one arm gently along the back of her seat.
Lady Lucas began directly to calculate, with more interest than the matter had ever excited before, how many years longer Mr. Bennet was likely to live; and Sir William gave it as his decided opinion, that whenever Mr. Collins should be in possession of the Longbourn estate, it would be highly expedient that both he and his wife should make their appearance at St. James's.

Arethusa stormed and raged, as was quite to be expected.

Bennet Harvey, the principal of the Moravian mission, to a merchant, an agent for several estates, and to an intelligent manager.
