SUMMARY:
The Group goes to meet and Dine with Lady Catherine de Bourgh and her daughter. Before the visit, Mr Collins goes fussing over his Guests’ dress. When the arrive, the majority of the group is stressing over the grandeur of Rosings and its owner, Elizabeth however is the opposite of the group, and feels equal to the scene of the house and people in it. Lady Catherine is exactly what she expected, a large, pompous woman, who loves nothing more that people praising her and her home. The young Miss de Bourgh is very small and very sickly looking, and she talks to no one over the dinner while Mrs Jenkinson, her mistress, fusses over her. Lady Catherine talks throughout the supper and leaves scarcely an opening for Elizabeth to talk. In the drawing room, Lady Catherine talks more and more about anything and everything, and gives familial advice to Mrs Collins.
She eventually asks Elizabeth about her family, education, and state. She is upset that the family home of Longborne is to be taken away form her sisters, but that she is glad it will go to Mr Collins. She then asks of Elizabeth’s skills, piano, drawing, etc. and is upset that she has few of these, and astounded that she didn’t have a governess with 4 sisters, saying that she must have been neglected. When she enquires as to her sisters’ outings, she is shocked that her sisters go out before the elders are married, and Elizabeth states openly her opinion that they should be permitted to do as they please…
