Chapter 6: Elizabeth visits Mr. And Mrs. Collins
Mrs. Bennet¡¯s brother and his wife Mr. And Mrs. Gardiner come to visit the Bennets¡¯ for Christmas. Several days later they return to London and take Jane with them for her to get some fresh air. Mr. Collins and Charlotte get married soon after this and they leave for Hunsford. Charlotte invites Elizabeth to come visit her in March and she can¡¯t refuse. March comes and Mr. Lucas and Maria, one of his other daughters and Elizabeth go to visit them. Lady Catherine invites them to Rosings Park so they visit her a few times and Elizabeth meets Darcy and Colonel Fitzwilliam.
The next morning when Elizabeth is alone, Darcy walks in. They don¡¯t talk much until Charlotte and her sister come back. After Darcy leaves, Charlotte tells Elizabeth that she thinks he¡¯s in love with her but Elizabeth laughs about it. Once walking in the park, Elizabeth meets Fitzwilliam, and they speak of Darcy. Fitzwilliam tells her that recently Darcy has saved a friend from an unwise marriage, and he suspects this friend to be Bingley. Elizabeth is furious with Darcy for ruining her sister¡¯s life. Later Darcy comes to see her because she is sick and he declares his love for Elizabeth. Darcy speaks a good deal about his pride and makes Jane feel she is socially inferior to him. Elizabeth, furious over his superior attitude, spares no words in refusing him. She accuses Darcy of separating Jane and Bingley, of treating Wickham horribly, and of acting in an arrogant manner. Darcy accepts these accusations without apology.
