This was not very consoling to Mrs. Bennet, and, therefore, instead of making any answer, she went on as before,
``I cannot bear to think that they should have all this estate, If it was not for the entail I should not mind it.''
``What should not you mind?''
``I should not mind any thing at all.''
``Let us be thankful that you are preserved from a state of such insensibility.''
``I never can be thankful, Mr. Bennet, for any thing about the entail. How any one could have the conscience to entail away an estate from one's own daughters I cannot understand; and all for the sake of Mr. Collins too! -- Why should he have it more than anybody else?''
``I leave it to yourself to determine,'' said Mr. Bennet.
