P and P #10

In chapters 56-59, Lady Catherine De Bourgh arrives at Longbourn, a week after Bingley’s engagement to Jane. Lady Catherine and Elizabeth take a walk and Lady Catherine starts to yell at Elizabeth about Mr. Darcy’s proposal to Elizabeth. Lady Catherine then proceeds to act snarky and snobby and continues to insult Elizabeth about her lifestyle, rank in society and about Lydia marrying Wickham. Elizabeth then storms away from Lady Catherine which greatly insults her. Lady Catherine then departs from Longbourn, and still continues to insult Elizabeth. Then Mr. Bennet then receives a letter from Mr. Collins who kind of says that Elizabeth was wrong in being rude to Lady Catherine, or he congratulates Elizabeth on standing up to Lady Cathering. Mr. Bennet was certainly happy with Elizabeth and congratulated her quite a lot. Then in the next few days, Mr. Bingley and Mr. Darcy arrive at Longbourn and take Jane and Elizabeth on a walk. Elizabeth is then proposed to a second time by Mr. Darcy and this time, she accepts. Later that night Elizabeth tells Jane of her acceptance of Mr. Darcy’s proposal and Jane can hardly believe it. The next day, Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy both ask for Mr. Bennet’s consent to their marriage, and he agrees.
