    Mrs. Bennet and her rude tendencies

    I remember a few by heart, but I cannot find them in the text of Pride and Prejudice.
    I am currently searching for examples, but help would be appreciated.

    Eg.
    -Rude, loud at social gatherings, impolite behavior, bragging

    Basically, her rude behavior showed up whenever she had company or went out.
    You can search the text online here:

    The search engine here is slightly imperfect so if you don't want to miss anything,
    I suggest opening each chapter link and then using your browser "Find" feature to
    search for "Mrs." since she has no first name in the book.

    Once you find a place that mentions Mrs. Bennet, you can look at the context to see if it applies to the question at hand.

    That's the fastest, most efficient way I can think of.
