A visit with Mrs. Collins

March was to take Elizabeth to Hunsford to visit Charlotte.  The journey would moreover give her a peep at Jane; as she would break her journey in London.

Time in London passed most pleasantly away; the morning in bustle and shopping, 

and the evening at one of the theatres. 

Mrs. Gardiner asked Elizabeth to accompany her uncle and

 aunt in a tour of pleasure which they proposed taking in the summer. 

Elizabeth arrives at the home of Mr. Collins & Charlotte

 Charlotte and Mr. Collins meet her at the gate. 
When Mr. Collins could be forgotten, there was really an air of great comfort throughout the house, and by Charlotte's evident enjoyment of it, Elizabeth supposed he must be often forgotten.

Charlotte tells Elizabeth that Mr. Darcy is visiting his Aunt at Rosings Park.

Walking to Rosings to dine with Lady Catherine de Bourgh

Lady Catherine asks many impertinent questions, 

and Mr. Darcy is ashamed of his aunt's ill-breeding.

 When dinner was over, Elizabeth, having promised 

                                  to play, sat down directly to the instrument.

Mr. Darcy and Miss Elizabeth speak together.

“I certainly have not the talent which some people possess," said Darcy, "

of conversing easily with those I have never seen before.”

Mr. Darcy makes a Proposal

While writing to her sister Jane, Elizabeth is surprised by Mr. Darcy.

After a few idle commonplaces, Mr. Darcy begins to speak.

"In vain I have struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you."

 “In such cases as this, it is, I believe, the established mode to express a sense of obligation for the sentiments avowed. I am sorry to have occasioned pain to anyone.”

 "I have every reason in the world to think ill of you. You have been the principal means of dividing my sister and Mr. Bingley from each other, involving them both in misery of the acutest kind."

Mr. Darcy Gives Elizabeth a letter.

Mr. Darcy gives Elizabeth a letter explaining why he took 

Bingley away and why Mr. Wickam was not to be trusted!
