But would the 10 minutes of silence have filmed well? ;-)

How about this: (Elizabeth and Mrs. Bennet in Mrs. B's room.)
E: Mama, Mr. Darcy had proposed and I have accepted.
Mrs. B: (Silent and totally still)
E: Mama, did you hear, Mr. Darcy and I are to be married.
Mrs. B: (Remains silent and still)
E: Mama, are you all right? Mama? Mama!
Mrs. B: Lips moving, but no sound coming out--Mr. Darcy, 10,000 a year, 10,000 a year, 10,000 a year .....
At this point E either A) runs some smelling salts under her nose or B) dumps a pitcher of water over her (the choice is yours).
Mrs. B thus recovers and goes into her pin money speech.

Carolyn -- wonderfully imagined. I personally like the pitcher of water, but I imagine Elizabeth would be nice and use the smelling salts. And don't forget, Mrs B has to fidget, get up and sit down again! I shall just imagine Allison Steadman here. ;.)

I still like the idea of Mrs. Bennet being played by Eric Idle or Michael Palin.

Carolyn, how evil of you to give us that choice! You know how most of us would want to choose, don't you?

Susan, I am sure we are ladylike and will do the "right" thing. ;-)

I'm still fond of my idea that Mrs. Bennet should be played by Hugh Grant. Such palpitations of his heart & flutterings!
