MR. DENNY—(Another Officer in the Regiment).
HARRIS—(the Butler at Longbourn).
MRS. BENNET—(the Wife of Mr. Bennet). "A woman of mean understanding, little information, and uncertain temper. When she was discontented she fancied herself nervous. The business of her life was to get her daughters married; its solace was visiting and news."
JANE—(Eldest Daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Bennet). "She united with great strength of feeling a composure of temper and a uniform cheerfulness of manner. Her mild and steady candour always pleaded allowances, and urged the possibility of mistakes."
ELIZABETH—(Their Second Daughter). "Although not so handsome as Jane, her face was rendered uncommonly intelligent by the beautiful expression of her dark eyes. She had a lively, playful disposition, which delighted in anything ridiculous, with more quickness of observation and less pliancy of temper than her sister. There was a mixture of sweetness and archness in her manner which made it difficult for her to affront anybody."
LYDIA—(Their Youngest Daughter). "A stout, well-grown girl of fifteen, with a fine complexion and a good-humoured countenance—a favourite with her mother, whose affection had brought her into public at an early age."
LADY LUCAS—(the Wife of Sir William). "Not too clever to be a valuable neighbour to Mrs. Bennet."
CHARLOTTE LUCAS—(Daughter of Sir William and Lady Lucas). "A sensible, intelligent young woman, about twenty-seven, ... Elizabeth's intimate friend."
MISS BINGLEY—(Sister of Mr. Bingley). "A very fine lady ... but proud and conceited."
LADY CATHERINE DE BOURG—(Aunt of Darcy and Patroness of Mr. Collins). "A tall, large woman, with strongly marked features, which might once have been handsome. Her air was not conciliating.... Whatever she said, was spoken in so authoritative a tone as marked her self-importance."
