文字記錄
Panel 1: Mrs. Bennet with both arms flung wide, overjoyed, the fury of ten seconds ago completely forgotten. Mrs. Bennet: "You wonderful man!" Panel 2: Mrs. Bennet clasps her hands together, beaming toward her daughters. Mrs. Bennet: "I knew you'd come round!" Panel 3: Mrs. Bennet grips the nearest daughter's arm, already recalibrating, breathless. Mrs. Bennet: "What's he like? Is he handsome?" Panel 4: Mr. Bennet, dry and unhelpful, refuses to give any details, half hidden behind his tablet. Mr. Bennet: "I only spoke to him a few minutes." Panel 5: Mary, glasses and over-ear headphones round her neck, pulls them down and earnestly raises a finger to say something wise. Mary: "First impressions form in seconds—" Panel 6: Wide shot of the whole family talking excitedly over Mary, nobody listening. She deflates slightly and puts her headphones back on.

Mrs. Bennet's fury flips instantly to delight as she praises her husband and demands details about Bingley. Mary tries to offer a thought about first impressions and the whole family talks straight over her.
關於本章
Mr. Bennet has secretly already gone and met Bingley — but he says nothing, letting the whole family stew in their frustration that he refuses to make the introduction. He drops sly hints nobody catches, the household's exasperation climbs, and then he springs the reveal: he went that morning, and they are already acquainted. The room detonates from fury into joy. Mrs. Bennet whiplashes from outrage to delight, the younger girls erupt, Mary tries to say something profound and is ignored, and beneath the chaos Lizzie and Jane share the quiet bond that anchors the family.
