He was more interested in his books and his dry humor than in playing matchmaker.Meanwhile, the Bennet sisters were all in a tizzy, each reacting in their own unique way. Jane, the oldest and prettiest of the bunch, kept her cool on the outside, but her eyes were sparkling like stars. Elizabeth, the second eldest, was curious but cautious.Mary, stuck in the middle, barely looked up from her book. She might as well have been a statue for all the reaction she showed.
