One of the neat things about Pride And Prejudice is that Mr. Bennet mocks Mrs. Bennet all the time and she does not know it -- except sporadically. But Elizabeth always knows what's he's up to and they share a very special bond. The book is well worth the read just to see how those two respond to each other.
Sorry. I babble a bit.
I would choose the speech beginning "I'm sorry to hear that ... ."
He's not the least sorry and Mrs. Bennet, with her usual obtuseness, changes immediately to great thankness, she praises him for being a good PaPa. She hardly notices what's she saying. She's delightful in her unawareness. That's probably why he stays married to her. He would even in modern times.
