Mrs. Bennet's Nite Cap
“Mr. Bennet, how can you treat your own children in such a distressing manner! You take delight in provoking me. You show no compassion for my poor nerves,” exclaims Mrs. Bennet. In response, Mr. Bennet quips, “You mistake me, my dear. I hold a deep respect for your nerves. They are my old friends, after all. I have heard you discuss them with such consideration for these past twenty years at least.”
Poor Mrs. Bennet, indeed! With five daughters to care for and a seemingly indifferent husband, she is constantly burdened by anxiety, especially considering the threat of losing their home to her husband’s relatives at any moment. As a woman in Regency society, she holds little power to improve her situation in any respectable manner. Given these pressures, can we truly blame her for her frequent fretting?
With her nerves sending her to bed so often, it’s no wonder that Mrs. Bennet seeks comfort in the beauty of delicate items. This lovely lace beret is just the kind of pretty accessory to provide her with some much-needed solace amid her troubles.
