Lady Catherine.
[In a rage.] Obstinate, headstrong girl! Tell me once for all—are you engaged to my nephew?
Elizabeth.
[Hesitates, then firmly.] I am not.
Lady Catherine.
[Relieved.] And will you promise me never to enter into such an engagement?
Elizabeth.
I will make no promise of the kind.
Lady Catherine.
Miss Bennet, I am shocked and astonished. I shall not go away until you have given me the assurance I require.
