Oh! my dear brother, replied Mrs. Bennet, that is exactly what I could most wish for. And now do, when you get to town, find them out, wherever they may be; and if they are not married already, make them marry. And as for wedding clothes, do not let them wait for that, but tell Lydia she shall have as much money as she chuses to buy them, after they are married. And, above all things, keep Mr. Bennet from fighting. Tell him what a dreadful state I am in, that I am frightened out of my wits; and have such tremblings, such flutterings all over me such spasms in my side, and pains in my head, and such beatings at heart, that I can get no rest by night nor by day. And tell my dear Lydia, not to give any directions about her clothes till she has seen me, for she does not know which are the best warehouses. Oh, brother, how kind you are! I know you will contrive it all.
班纳特太太回答道:“噢,好兄弟,这话正讲在我心上。你一到城里,千万把他们找到,不管他们在哪里也好;要是他们还没有结婚,一定叫他们结婚。讲到结婚的礼服,叫他们用不着等了,只告诉丽迪雅说,等他们结婚以后,她要多少钱做衣服我就给她多少钱。千万要紧的是,别让班纳特先生跟他打架。还请你告诉他,我真是在活受罪,简直给吓得神经错乱了,遍身发抖,东倒西歪,腰部抽搐,头痛心跳,从白天到夜里,没有一刻能够安心。请你跟我的丽迪雅宝贝儿说,叫她不要自作主张做衣服,等到和我见了面再说,因为她不知道哪一家衣料店最好。噢,兄弟,你真是一片好心!我知道你会想出办法来把样样事情都办好。”
