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.
