take 1 - mr. bennet can be even more indifferent - SINGLE MAN of LARGE FORTUNE - mrs bennet more complimented by the thing - let's make it more lived in.... like mrs. hears what she wants to hear, mr. knows exactly how to ignore her - mary should look like shes genuinely lost in thought, too much to even consider... - lydia not the tallest what? take 2 - when she fanned herself saying 'single to be sure'.... GENIUS - mr. great job 'beauty to think of' - mrs. stepping on the line was genius - fanography is genius - 'such a good joke too'... the laugh... YES... she finds the joke just like she finds the compliment.... hears what she wants to hear take 3 - 'much beauty to think of' - mrs bennet doesn’t hear that... she can be perfectly oblivious, still reveling in the compliment - 'they are all silly and ignorant' is your way of agreeing with her - LISTEN to each other more - remember mr bennet thinks his kids are silly and ignorant - more dismissive of mary okay
