by Mrs. Steele MacKaye; Jane Austen

With great pleasure, your Ladyship. [Mr. Collins goes out.]

Lady Catherine.

[To Charlotte.] I thought you had a visitor, Mrs. Collins.

Charlotte.

Yes, your Ladyship—I have. It is my friend, Miss Elizabeth Bennet. She is a cousin of Mr. Collins and a neighbour of ours in Hertfordshire.

Lady Catherine.

I have heard about her. Fitzwilliam says she is a very genteel, pretty kind of girl.

Charlotte.

[Pleased.] Indeed she is, Lady Catherine.
