The supposition did not pain her. She liked him too little to care for his approbation.
lollllll
He really believed, that were it not for the inferiority of her connections, he should be in some danger.
DARCY IS THIS REALLY THE TIME
At length, quite exhausted by the attempt to be amused with her own book, which she had only chosen because it was the second volume of his,
What a simp
Miss Bingley, however, was incapable of disappointing Mr. Darcy in anything, and persevered therefore in requiring an explanation of his two motives.
Miss Bingley was then sorry that she had proposed the delay, for her jealousy and dislike of one sister much exceeded her affection for the other.
Sucksssss
It is from my cousin, Mr. Collins, who, when I am dead, may turn you all out of this house as soon as he pleases.”
To Catherine and Lydia, neither the letter nor its writer were in any degree interesting. It was next to impossible that their cousin should come in a scarlet coat, and it was now some weeks since they had received pleasure from the society of a man in any other colour.
THE OFFICERSSSSSSS
In a softened tone she declared herself not at all offended; but he continued to apologise for about a quarter of an hour.
I don't like him.
She is unfortunately of a sickly constitution,
Is that what marks her as a young lady of distinguished birth?
Mr. Bennet’s expectations were fully answered. His cousin was as absurd as he had hoped, and he listened to him with the keenest enjoyment, maintaining at the same time the most resolute composure of countenance, and, except in an occasional glance at Elizabeth, requiring no partner in his pleasure.
Mr. Collins was not a sensible man, and the deficiency of nature had been but little assisted by education or society;
Tell us what you really think, Jane.
Such doings discomposed Mr. Bennet exceedingly. In his library he had been always sure of leisure and tranquillity; and though prepared, as he told Elizabeth, to meet with folly and conceit in every other room of the house, he was used to be free from them there;
MOOD
Mr. Wickham,
I seem to remember ill of this man.
Both changed colour, one looked white, the other red. Mr. Wickham, after a few moments, touched his hat—a salutation which Mr. Darcy just deigned to return.
Oh look at that I was right
her civility was claimed towards Mr. Collins by Jane’s introduction of him.
This dude is so unmemorable my first thought was "Who's Collins" T_T
Mr. Collins’s scruples of leaving Mr. and Mrs. Bennet for a single evening during his visit
THEY'LL BE FINE
“I know little of the game at present,” said he, “but I shall be glad to improve myself, for in my situation in life—” Mrs. Phillips was very glad for his compliance, but could not wait for his reason.
lollllll
“You may well be surprised, Miss Bennet, at such an assertion, after seeing, as you probably might, the very cold manner of our meeting yesterday. Are you much acquainted with Mr. Darcy?”
And look at you running off to tattle first.
“You know of course that Lady Catherine de Bourgh and Lady Anne Darcy were sisters; consequently that she is aunt to the present Mr. Darcy.”
Elizabeth went away with her head full of him. She could think of nothing but of Mr. Wickham,
GIRL NO HE'S A PLAYER
enumerating all the dishes at supper,
Holy shit this man is tiresome
nothing less than a dance on Tuesday, could have made such a Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday endurable to Kitty and Lydia.
Or you could read.
Wickham had been obliged to go to town on business the day before, and was not yet returned; adding, with a significant smile, “I do not imagine his business would have called him away just now, if he had not wanted to avoid a certain gentleman here.”
Chickenshit
The moment of her release from him was ecstasy.
The only way Mr. Collins could ever please a woman.
“Mr. Wickham is blessed with such happy manners as may ensure his making friends—whether he may be equally capable of retaining them, is less certain.”
in Darcy’s breast there was a tolerable powerful feeling towards her, which soon procured her pardon, and directed all his anger against another.
KICK MR. WICKHAM
Who would have thought of my meeting with, perhaps, a nephew of Lady Catherine de Bourgh in this assembly! I am most thankful that the discovery is made in time for me to pay my respects to him, which I am now going to do, and trust he will excuse my not having done it before. My total ignorance of the connection must plead my apology.” “You are not going to introduce yourself to Mr. Darcy!”
Totally forgot Darcy was her nephew ugh I need to sleep
And with a low bow he left her to attack Mr. Darcy, whose reception of his advances she eagerly watched, and whose astonishment at being so addressed was very evident.
Get out the popcorn Liz
“I have no reason, I assure you,” said he, “to be dissatisfied with my reception. Mr. Darcy seemed much pleased with the attention.
I want whatever this dude is smoking
Mary’s powers were by no means fitted for such a display; her voice was weak, and her manner affected. Elizabeth was in agonies.
I am deceased holy shit lolol
“If I,” said Mr. Collins, “were so fortunate as to be able to sing, I should have great pleasure, I am sure, in obliging the company with an air; for I consider music as a very innocent diversion, and perfectly compatible with the profession of a clergyman. I do not mean, however, to assert that we can be justified in devoting too much of our time to music, for there are certainly other things to be attended to. The rector of a parish has much to do. In the first place, he must make such an agreement for tithes as may be beneficial to himself and not offensive to his patron. He must write his

I aged five years reading this speech
She was at least free from the offence of Mr. Darcy’s further notice;
Burn Darcy burn
The Longbourn party were the last of all the company to depart, and, by a manoeuvre of Mrs. Bennet, had to wait for their carriage a quarter of an hour after everybody else was gone, which gave them time to see how heartily they were wished away by some of the family.
Deddddddd
Mrs. Bennet was perfectly satisfied, and quitted the house under the delightful persuasion that, allowing for the necessary preparations of settlements, new carriages, and wedding clothes, she should undoubtedly see her daughter settled at Netherfield in the course of three or four months.
I feel like she'd triple the chances if she didn't keep insisting on forcing her own company onto the Bingleys.
Elizabeth was the least dear to her of all her children;
Wow nice A+ parenting
I am sure Lizzy will be very happy—I am sure she can have no objection.
lol
The idea of Mr. Collins, with all his solemn composure, being run away with by his feelings, made Elizabeth so near laughing,
The regularity with which she roasts these men lolollllll
“My reasons for marrying are, first, that I think it a right thing for every clergyman in easy circumstances (like myself) to set the example of matrimony in his parish; secondly, that I am convinced that it will add very greatly to my happiness; and thirdly—which perhaps I ought to have mentioned earlier, that it is the particular advice and recommendation of the very noble lady whom I have the honour of calling patroness.
Shout-out to Ms. Kube, who first introduced me to this remarkable piece of egomania. I don't remember much of tenth grade, but I remember you teaching us this proposal. I was starting to wonder if Mr. Collins was its source.
Choose properly, choose a gentlewoman for my sake;
I'm sorry, what?
On that head, therefore, I shall be uniformly silent; and you may assure yourself that no ungenerous reproach shall ever pass my lips when we are married.”
BE STILL MY HEART LMAOOOOOO
It was absolutely necessary to interrupt him now.
STICK HIM WITH A PIN
“Really, Mr. Collins,” cried Elizabeth with some warmth, “you puzzle me exceedingly. If what I have hitherto said can appear to you in the form of encouragement, I know not how to express my refusal in such a way as to convince you of its being one.”
What an icon.
you should take it into further consideration, that in spite of your manifold attractions, it is by no means certain that another offer of marriage may ever be made you.
WOW FUCK THIS GUY
her father, whose negative might be uttered in such a manner as to be decisive, and whose behaviour at least could not be mistaken for the affectation and coquetry of an elegant female.
rofl
“But, depend upon it, Mr. Collins,” she added, “that Lizzy shall be brought to reason. I will speak to her about it directly. She is a very headstrong, foolish girl, and does not know her own interest but I will make her know it.”
Her mom straight up sucks
If therefore she actually persists in rejecting my suit, perhaps it were better not to force her into accepting me,
First sensible thing you've said.
“I have not the pleasure of understanding you,” said he, when she had finished her speech.
Nobody does.
“An unhappy alternative is before you, Elizabeth. From this day you must be a stranger to one of your parents. Your mother will never see you again if you do not marry Mr. Collins, and I will never see you again if you do.”
idk seems like an easy choice to me
“What do you mean, Mr. Bennet, in talking this way? You promised me to insist upon her marrying him.”
No he didn't.
With all these circumstances to favour an attachment, and nothing to prevent it, am I wrong, my dearest Jane, in indulging the hope of an event which will secure the happiness of so many?”
I always knew Caroline was a bitch
