Episode #1.1 (2008)

Alex Kingston: Mrs Bennet

Quotes 

• Mrs. Bennet : [shrieks]  Jane has gone to Netherfield Park in this weather and Miss Price pursues her. Are you so obtuse, Mr. Bennet, that you do not see what is the matter here? She has gone to queer Jane's pitch!

  Mr. Bennet : It is exciting when you bring the language of the theatre into this house, my dear, but might this room be returned to the purpose for which it was created? For me to sleep in - undisturbed.

• Mrs. Bennet : It vexes me exceptionally that Elizabeth should choose to be abroad at such a time as this. And Hammersmith, Mr. Bennet? Is Hammersmith a likely sort of place?

  Mr. Bennet : I was not aware that it *was* abroad, my dear, but I salute your superior command of geography.
