Description: In this image Mrs. Bennet leaves her sister, Mrs. Philip’s, house. Mrs. Bennet had called on her sister and told her about Jane’s situation. After she left, she told her sister that she had resolved never to speak of it again. This scene occurs in chapter 40. The characters are shown in the traditional regency style. Mrs. Bennet and Mrs. Philip wear the regency style with dresses with empire waistlines. Mrs. Bennet wears a bonnet and carries a purse. The regency period dated to the early nineteenth century (1811-1820) when George, Prince of Wales, later George IV (r. 1820-1830), reigned as regent for his mentally ill father, King George III (r. 1760-1820). The regency period is associated with the rise of neoclassicism in art and fashion.
