The Accomplished Woman

Darcy: I shall only marry a female who has mastered all the accomplishments and speaks all the fashionable languages and is perfectly elegant and well read.

Elizabeth: It would probably take someone a lifetime to do all that! I sure hope you enjoy being single, because dude, that girl don’t exist.

Caroline: She exists! I know many personally (holding large neon sign that says, “Pick me! I'm one of them!” in Italian)

Mr. Hurst: Stop all this stupid flirtation and play the damn cards!

Elizabeth (internally): Lolz (exit)

She was shown into the breakfast-parlour, where all but Jane were assembled, and where her appearance created a great deal of surprise. That she should have walked three miles so early in the day, in such dirty weather, and by herself, was almost incredible to Mrs. Hurst and Miss Bingley; and Elizabeth was convinced that they held her in contempt for it. She was received, however, very politely by them; and in their brother's manners there was something better than politeness; there was good humour and kindness. Mr. Darcy said very little, and Mr. Hurst nothing at all. The former was divided between admiration of the brilliancy which exercise had given to her complexion, and doubt as to the occasion's justifying her coming so far alone. The latter was thinking only of his breakfast.

"It is from Miss Bingley," said Jane, and then read it aloud.

"My dear Friend,

"If you are not so compassionate as to dine to-day with Louisa and me, we shall be in danger of hating each other for the rest of our lives, for a whole day's tete-a-tete between two women can never end without a quarrel. Come as soon as you can on receipt of this. My brother and the gentlemen are to dine with the officers. –

Yours ever,

Caroline Bingley

I said, 'Will she be the same?' The old woman guffawed, as if I had said the funniest thing in the universe. 'Nothing's ever the same,' she said. 'Be it a second later or a hundred years. It's always churning and roiling. And people change as much as oceans.'

Re-imagining Mr. Hurst

I know Mr. Hurst is an insignificant side character who mostly exists so that Caroline has a chaperone/somewhere to live, but let’s examine him for a minute.

What do we know about Mr. Hurst? 

"merely looked the gentleman"

"Mrs. Hurst, who had married a man of more fashion than fortune, less disposed to consider his house as her home when it suited her”

"he was an indolent man, who lived only to eat, drink, and play at cards; who, when he found her prefer a plain dish to a ragout, had nothing to say to her"

When tea was over, Mr. Hurst reminded his sister-in-law of the card-table—but in vain. She had obtained private intelligence that Mr. Darcy did not wish for cards; and Mr. Hurst soon found even his open petition rejected. She assured him that no one intended to play, and the silence of the whole party on the subject seemed to justify her. Mr. Hurst had therefore nothing to do, but to stretch himself on one of the sofas and go to sleep.

and of their meaning to dine in Grosvenor Street, where Mr. Hurst had a house.

Mr. Hurst.... was thinking only of his breakfast.

Mr. Hurst looked at her with astonishment. “Do you prefer reading to cards?” said he; “that is rather singular.”

A lot of that was about food, however, Mr. Hurst may be doing quite a bit of exercise (hunting, riding, and fencing), and he may be more of a foodie than a glutton, so it doesn’t follow that he is overweight for sure. 

The usual assumption is that Mr. Hurst provides the social status and Louisa provides the money in this relationship. But while we know that Mr. Hurst is fashionable, it sounds like Bingley’s rented house is better than Mr. Hurst’s residence. We are never told if he has an estate, only a house in town. His general indolence seems to suggest he doesn’t have a profession, so what is he?

It is possible that he has a smaller estate, like Willoughby, and it isn’t grand enough for the Hursts to want to reside there. Or, he may be a second son with a small inheritance whose only house is in London. Or he may be an heir-in-waiting, like John Dashwood, who is living in town until someone dies.

But the main point is, what is in it for Louisa? She has 20k, that's a ton of money. She probably could have married a lot better (consider Lady Middleton and Mrs. Palmer, both from trade as well, who married quite high). Louisa could have at least married someone with a country estate, not just a house in town. If he's not even real “landed gentry”, how much is this helping her social status?

I think Louisa fell for the classic blunder, she married for lust. Mr. Hurst is (or at least was, who knows how long they've been married) smoking hot and Louisa fell for the same trap as Mr. Bennet, Mr. Palmer, Mr. Rushworth, Lady Elliot, and probably Sir Thomas and Sophia Grey. Married the hot person, regretted it later.

Part of Caroline’s motivation may be that she has learned the lesson and is trying to prevent both her brother and herself from succumbing to beauty.
