The concern with getting daughters married into good families pervades Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice and forms a large part
of the social mannerisms that the novel mocks. In which lines in this excerpt does one of the Bennet parents make an ironically false claim about having gone to great lengths to achieve that goal?
The irony of Mr. and Mrs. Bennet's ironically extreme measures to get their daughters well-married can be seen when Mrs. Bennet says <span><em>"What an excellent father you have, girls!" said [Mrs. Bennet], when the door was shut.</em> <em>"I do not know how you will ever make him amends for his kindness; or me, either, for that matter. At our time of life it is not so pleasant, I can tell you, to be making new acquaintances every day; but for your sakes, we would do anything."</em> This remark is ironically false because meeting new people everyday is not demanding at all, but she is trying to sell themselves as over-sacrificing parents for the future spouses of their daughters.</span>
Answer: "At our time of life it it not so pleasant, I can tell you, to be making new acquaintances every day; but for your sake, we would do anything."
