These lines, so typical of Austen’s wry tone, allow Austen to “criticize social conversation as pointless and insincere” and “reveal Lady Middleton's character as superficial and proud”.

The author also describes the personality of Lady Middleton as being superficial and how she uses her son to start an irrelevant talk.
