The mother in the PBS version of Pride and Prejudice is hilarious in this vein. Played over the top quite intentionally. She sometimes does the ol’ “run out of breath before you run out of words” attempt to squeese the last oz of air from her lungs.
It’s one of my favorite subplots. And the husband takes it in stride...
Mrs. Bennett is a hilarious character. One of Jane Austin’s best. Mr. Bennett knows just about anything can send her into a case of the vapors so he just ignores her.
One of the greatest novels EVER still hilarious stuff.
