Yeah, I agree. I don't think she'd even go to that much trouble to conceal it; thinking about it, I feel the most likely scenario is that she doesn't make a production out of it or anything, but she's not going to try and be super sneaky or whatever. It might well escape Mrs Bennet's and Lydia's notice, anyway, as you say. And yeah, I think you're right that there's no real way in this scenario to defuse the Lydia bomb without breaking the premise by adding other stuff, which I prefer not to do.
Mrs. Bennet might start angling for Elizabeth to be invited to stay with Miss Darcy (hopefully along with one of her sisters!) because there are sure to be rich men in Miss Darcy's circle.
Oh, if she knows about it, I could definitely see that. And it's not like there aren't eligible men in Catherine's social circle!
