What the book says
In Response To: Lady Catherine's offer ()

In this particular scene, P&P2 does a great disservice to Lady C. JA has her say this, which is actually a bit nicer:

``Oh! your father of course may spare you, if your mother can. -- Daughters are never of so much consequence to a father. And if you will stay another month complete, it will be in my power to take one of you as far as London, for I am going there early in June, for a week; and as Dawson does not object to the Barouche box, there will be very good room for one of you -- and indeed, if the weather should happen to be cool, I should not object to taking you both, as you are neither of you large.''
