Panel 1: Mrs. Bennet half-preens despite herself, then catches herself, a touch wistful. Mrs. Bennet: "A woman with five grown daughters ought to stop thinking of her own looks." Panel 2: Two-shot — Mrs. Bennet plants herself in front of his chair, blocking the tablet, all business again. Mrs. Bennet: "I'm serious. You have to go meet him." Panel 3: Close on Mr. Bennet setting the tablet down at last, looking at her over his glasses, weighing how much to torment her. Mr. Bennet: "I could put in a good word — for Lizzie." Panel 4: Close on Mrs. Bennet instantly objecting, offended on principle, hands up. Mrs. Bennet: "Lizzie? She's not half as pretty as Jane." Panel 5: Close on Mrs. Bennet, the real grievance surfacing, wounded. Mrs. Bennet: "You always favor her." Panel 6: Close on Mr. Bennet, unbothered and almost fond, the affection breaking through quietly. Mr. Bennet: "Lizzie's got a bit more going on upstairs."

Mrs. Bennet blocks her husband's tablet and insists he meet Bingley. He offers to put in a good word for Lizzie, which offends her — she says Lizzie is not as pretty as Jane and accuses him of favoritism, which he does not deny.
關於本章
Netherfield, the cool glass mansion on the hill, has finally been rented — and Mrs. Bennet has already decided one of her five daughters will marry whoever moved in. She corners her unbothered husband to demand he go make friends with the new arrival: a young, single, very rich man named Bingley. Mr. Bennet needles her with dry affection, offers to put in a good word for Lizzie, and gives his verdict that Lizzie has a bit more going on than her sisters. The chapter ends by revealing the household the whole scheme is about — the five Bennet daughters — as Mrs. Bennet announces the house has a new project.
