Episode Quotes

Mrs. Bennet: Oh, fetch my smelling salts, I feel my faintness coming on me again.

Mary Bennet: But we must stem the tide of malice, and pour into each other's wounded bosoms the balm of sisterly consolation.

Mrs. Bennet: I blame those Forsters. There must have been some great neglect on their part, for she is not the sort of girl to do this sort of thing if she had been properly looked after.

Mistakes/Goofs

Goof (continuity error): When Darcy first introduces his sister to Elizabeth, the position of his hands changes between shots as he's telling Elizabeth that Bingley is around and wishes to meet her too.
Goof (continuity error): As they are arriving at Lydia's marriage, there are two men driving the carriage. One begins to get off to help them out of the carriage and then in the next shot they are being helped out of the carriage by Mr. Gardner. In the final shot in the scene there is only one driver - and no other in sight.
Goof (audio/visual unsynchronized): Bingley's praise "Absolutely marvelous" for Lizzy's recital at Pemberley is out of sync.

Trivia

The pink v-neck gown trimmed in mauve Susannah Harker (Jane Bennet) wears during the outdoor scene at Longbourn when Jane and Elizabeth learn the contents of Uncle Gardiner's letter to Mr. Bennet is the same costume Samantha Bond (Mrs. Weston) wears to dinner at Hartfield in Emma 1996.

The green and white striped Spencer with scalloped sleeves worn by Susannah Harker (Jane Bennet) is the same one worn by Sally Hawkins (Anne Elliot) in Persuasion (UK) (2007).
