    "We are not in a way to know what Mr. Bingley likes,'' said her mother resentfully, "since we are not to visit."

    It is an adjective means feeling angry because you have been forced to accept someone or something that you do not like.
    - a resentful look.
    - She was resentful of anybody's attempts to interfere in her work.
    My own example:

    It is a verb means to make something known publicly, or to show something that was hidden.
