Hi, i didin't understand another passage from Pride and Prejudice which is "this is a most unfortunate affair, and will probably be much talked of .But we must stem the tide of malice ,and pour into the wounded bosoms of each other the balm of sisterly consolation."
Top answer
The event that happened was really unfortunate and would cause a lot of gossip. The solution offered is to hold back to flow of malice, compared here to the oncoming waves of the tide, by comforting each other. The sisters would proverbially pour their consolation into each other's hearts to act as a balm for their wounded feelings.
