Delight in Vexing, Jane Austen Pride & Prejudice Button

"Mr. Bennet, how can you abuse your own children in such a way? You take delight in vexing me. You have no compassion on my poor nerves." "You mistake me, my dear. I have a high regard for your nerves. They are my old friends. I have heard you mention them with consideration these twenty years at least." Mr. and Mrs. Bennet share the drawing room at Longbourn in chapter 1 of Jane Austen's literary novel Pride and Prejudice. Mr. Bennet attempts to read while Mrs. Bennet begs him to call on their new neighbor, Mr. Bingley, so he will marry one of her five daughters. This image, drawn by Hugh Thompson, is a representation of that scene. Show off your Janeite devotion by adding this delightful button to your accessory repitore.
