l trust your family is in good health, Miss Elizabeth?
They are, thank you.
My eldest sister is currently in London...
perhaps you happened to see her there?
l haven't been fortunate enough, no.
Do you play the pianoforte, Miss Bennet?
A little, ma'am, and very poorly.
[exclaiming]
Do you draw?
No, not at all.
Your sisters, do they draw?
Not one. That's very strange.
l suppose you had no opportunity.
Your mother should've taken you to town every spring...
for the benefit of the masters.
l'm sure my mother wouldn't have minded, but my father hates town.
Has your governess left you? We never had a governess.
No governess?
Five daughters brought up at home without a governess.
l never heard such a thing.
Your mother must have been quite a slave to your education.
Not at all Lady Cath' erine.
Your younger sisters, are they out in society?
Yes, ma'am. All.
All? What, all five out at once?
Oh, that's very odd. And you only the second.
The younger ones out before the elders are married.
Your youngest sisters must be very young.
Yes, my youngest is not 16.
But l think it would be very hard on younger sisters...
not to have their share of amusement...
because the elder is still unmarried.
lt would hardly encourage sisterly affection.
Upon my word...
you give your opinion very decidedly for so young a person.
Pray, what is your age?
With three younger sisters grown up...
Your Ladyship can hardly expect me to own to it.
