Looking through the window of his study, Mr Bennet was bemused. If Dr Gregory was not already spoken for, he would have sworn that Lizzy had just received a proposal of marriage. But all was explained afterwards, over dinner.

Later when Lizzy brought his tea to the study, Mr Bennet joked about it.

"Well, well… Lizzy, I'm glad you set my mind at rest during dinner; I was a little worried when I saw you in the garden today. I thought Dr Gregory might have been making an improper proposal!"

Lizzy blushed scarlet and was unable to form a reply, which surprised her father a little.

"Now, now, my dear, no need to be missish. I was only joking! I am sure Dr Gregory would never do such a thing!"

Lizzy put down the cup, nodded, and retreated quickly.

Mr Bennet was glad the awkward moment was over. Pouring a little brandy into his tea, he picked it up and chuckled to himself. He would like to see the fellow who had the temerity to ask his spirited daughter such! She would hit him with the first object to hand!
