Summary

The quote states that Miss Bingley's compliments and well-wishes to her brother regarding his impending marriage were superficial and feigned rather than genuine. Despite appearing affectionate, her words lacked sincerity, suggesting that her congratulations were merely a facade, potentially reflecting her envy or disapproval of her brother's choice of partner or his happiness in general. It exposes the shallowness of her character and highlights the contrast between heartfelt connections and superficial social gestures.
