1) Anger: ie, upon finding out your husband has just told your daughter he will never speak to her again should she marry someone you feel is a suitable match: "Oh, Mr BENNET!"

2) Delight: ie, upon finding your daughter is going to marry one of the most eligible men in the country, although he may own the miserable half of Derbyshire: "Oh, Mr BENNET!"
