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>
