By all means, your Ladyship. [She goes out.]

Lady Catherine.

Are you quite ready to go, Mr. Collins?

Mr. Collins.

Oh—assuredly, your Ladyship—quite!

Lady Catherine.

[To Elizabeth.] Miss Bennet, I should advise you to write to your family while we are gone. [Charlotte returns in her bonnet and mantle. Lady Catherine looks her over.] Yes, that will do very well!

Charlotte.

[To Elizabeth.] We shall not be gone very long, Eliza.

Lady Catherine.
