( indeed, such news of mrs bennet and mrs wickham's absences does bring a small measure of relief. their behaviour would only spawn further vexation. )
A week. ( which, to him, is long. far too long. ) And for another week I stay.
( atticus also wishes to know how long miss bennet intends to stay in london and if an itinerary has been formulated yet. although he is not keen on the city, he would join her on a trip to finsbury square to the temple of muses, one of the most famous and prestige bookshops in england. he finds it would not be so onerous if it is with and for miss bennet. but it seems inappropriate to inquire and discuss her plans in this formal environment, surrounded by her relatives who, although not intended, taint their reunion with their presence and looks. it does not escape him that he is an object of interest to them.
in the dim light, miss kitty nudges her aunt's arm and shoots her a look, all under the assumption of discretion. she wants to say something to him and wants her aunt too. questions swarm around him like butterflies to a patch of flowers. but what question exactly does miss kitty and mrs gardiner wish to ask?
their opportunity, however, is dashed when atticus's name is called again. this time, it brings him greater pleasure as it's mr frahm summoning him so that they may go to their box. before his book agent reaches him (and forces atticus to introduce him to the group), atticus bows, glancing at miss bennet and the rest of her party but letting his gaze linger on miss bennet. ) Excuse me. I hope you enjoy this evening's performance.
( he leaves and quickly finds mr frahm in the crowd of people. )
