Dinner+at+Rosings+3

Elizabeth goes to Rosings accompanied by Maria, Sir William, and Mr. and Mrs. Collins. Once they arrive, Mr. Collins tries to make Elizabeth self conscious about her appearance before they proceed into the dining room. While they are enjoying the lovely dinner no one said a word not even a pleasant conversation was started. Elizabeth was ready to talk whenever there was an opening but they didn't say a word until they moved into the dining room. Once they settled into their chairs Lady Catherine kept telling her opinion on almost everything without pause until coffee arrived. Lady Catherine, Mr. Collins, and Elizabeth finally start a conversation other than just listening to Lady Catherine. They were interrupted by the gentlemen with the news of the arrival of the carriage. Elizabeth, Mr. and Mrs. Collins, Maria, Sir William, Lady Catherine, and Mrs. Jenkinson were involved in this event. This event helped Elizabeth tell the truth about her age. Later in the plot lady Catherine will be approached by Mr. Darcy and he asks about Elizabeth. Quotes!
