Yes, Madam, this excitement is so bad for you.
Mrs. Bennet.
How can I help being excited? You have no feelings. Here is Mr. Bennet gone away, and I know he will fight that abominable Wickham and be killed. And then what is to become of us all? The Collinses will turn us out before Mr. Bennet is cold in his grave.
Jane.
Oh, mamma, do not have such terrific ideas.
Mrs. Bennet.
[Weeping.] If my brother Gardiner is not kind to me, I do not know what we shall do.
Jane.
Yes, yes. My Uncle Gardiner is very kind. He is doing everything in his power for us. He is helping my father now in London, you know. I hope he will find Lydia, and perhaps he may be able to arrange a marriage after all. You must not give up so, dear mamma.
