Lucy Robinson: Mrs Hurst

Quotes 

• [At the party at Lucas Lodge, Sir William Lucas endeavors to make conversation with Mr. Bingley's two sisters] 

  Sir William Lucas : No doubt you attend assemblies at St. James's Court, Miss Bingley?

  Miss Bingley : We go but rarely, sir.

  Sir William Lucas : Indeed, I am surprised. I should be happy to introduce you there, you know, at any time when I'm in town.

  [Mrs. Hurst looks in suppressed shock and mirth at her sister] 

  Miss Bingley : You are too kind, sir.

  [She curtsies, and the two sisters move away] 

  Sir William Lucas : [Feeling awkward, but not quite sure why]  Well, well, good, good! Capital, capital!

  Miss Bingley : Insufferable conceit! To imagine that we'd need *his* assistance in society.

  Mrs. Hurst : I am sure he is a very good kind of man, Caroline.

  Miss Bingley : And I am sure he kept a very good kind of *shop* before his elevation to the Knighthood.

  [They both giggle maliciously]
