Mr. Bennet reflects in this chapter. You get to see him as truly human for probably the first time in the story. He admits to himself the failings he has had as a father, husband and provider. He‘s contemplating how if he had made different choices in his life and with his family, the scenario with Mr. Wickham may have been avoided.

"could chuse papers, project shrubberies, and invent a sweep."
In which @sprainedbrain I manage to learn one last thing.
As a Gardener I knew about shubberies. But I didn't know what 'invent a sweep' meant.
'A sweep was a curved carriage drive leading to a house.' ?
