i put amusement. jane austen is not a cynical writer…it can’t even be termed cynicism - she writes comedies of manners…even her most terrible descriptions are amusing, of fumbling and socially inept characters as in here…there is nothing ‘cynical’ about it…it is supposed to be humorous

for the mother’s death one, i thought it added poignancy to the scene; as it became somewhat of a eulogy. I do not think it was a unique event, as most people in the world unfortunately lose their mothers at some point in their lifetimes.

—i thought that at first, but then his mother’s death is a unique event in HIS life…the question doesn’t necessarily ask about whether its unique in the entire world, but it may just be unique in his own experience…and that’s definitely true

for fair days, i put that it is diff. from another day because it has less to do about the weather, and more to do about the grains still lying in the field
