Pride and Prejudice Chapter XXVIII

In which we accompany Elizabeth on her visit to the Parsonage at Hunsford, where she observes with quiet amusement the peculiarities of Mr. Collins and the composed cheerfulness of Charlotte amidst their genteel, if somewhat constrained, domesticity. We also encounter the distinguished Lady Catherine’s household, preparing for social engagements that promise to enliven their stay with the decorous gaieties of estate life.
