In a few days, Mr. Collins came to visit the Bennet family.This gentleman is not too tall, he is a little fat, and he looks like he abides by etiquette.Mr. Bennet and the ladies were very polite to this unexpected visitor. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Bennet seemed very calm when facing this gentleman, which made Mr. Bennet and the ladies very happy. strangely.

Mr. Collins was very talkative. As soon as he entered the gate, he praised the surrounding environment of Langbourne Manor.After sitting down, he complimented Mrs. Bennet that she was very blessed, and that her five daughters were all very beautiful, and there must be a beautiful marriage waiting in front of her.In short, Mr. Collins praised everyone in the house, every piece of furniture and decoration, which made the five Bennet sisters very annoying.Mrs. Bennet, a lover of flattery, resented the idea that these praised items would become the property of this gentleman.

When it was time for lunch, Mr. Collins, as usual, was full of praise for the food at the Bennet's, and he was the only one at the whole table talking.Determined to break the strange impasse, Mr. Bennet asked where Mr. Collins was now employed.Mr. Collins then continued to speak at length of his honor as vicar of the parish by Lady Catherine de Bourgh's favor, and to this duchess, who was of value, virtue, and kindness, and her Highly respected by a well-born heiress.Mr. Bennet didn't expect this gentleman to say such a call in such a nonchalant manner, and he couldn't find anything good to say for a while, so he just answered him with a few words.Mr. Collins didn't mind much about it either, he's always been that way.At the end of the meal, the Bennet family enjoyed a delicious meal. Mr. Collins was very interested, and thanked Mrs. Bennet for the delicious lunch.

Mr. Collins, who had been promoted by Mrs. de Bower to be the vicar of Hansford, naturally admired and respected his benefactor, and at the same time thought that he was a vicar, with a good income and another house. A good house, of course, should find a lady to marry.After meeting the Misses Bennet, Mr. Collins felt that these ladies were really as beautiful and lovely as everyone had heard, and he was determined to choose one of them as his wife, so that he could inherit the property of Longbourne and own A beautiful wife can also make up for the other ladies.In his opinion, this is really a good way to win in one fell swoop!

[When Mrs. Bennet first heard Mr. Collins' plan, she thought it was a good idea, so she kindly encouraged him again and again, but when he said that Miss Jane Bennet had been selected, Mrs. Bennet hurried Said: "I don't have any opinion on your thoughts, but they still give priority to their thoughts. As for my eldest daughter... I feel obliged to remind you...Jane may be engaged soon."]

Collins couldn't help but feel a little regretful that such a beauty should have someone else.But he immediately changed his mind and said that he had chosen Elizabeth. Now Mrs. Bennet was satisfied, and she said, "Eliza? She doesn't have any suitable candidates now...Mr. Collins, you are really discerning... !” Then, she praised her second daughter in unprecedented words, and she must make Mr. Collins feel that her choice is the most sensible.

Mr. Collins, who got the "hint" from Mrs. Bennet, began to pursue Elizabeth passionately. As long as Elizabeth is there, he must be there, as long as Elizabeth is interested in anything. , he must be the first to give it a good compliment before her.His demeanor was so obvious that her sisters understood his intentions.Elizabeth avoided such a clown-like figure, but she often gave up under Mrs. Bennet's stare. Therefore, Elizabeth received a letter from Netherfield Gardens that came to visit a few days ago. I breathed a sigh of relief, now my mother's attention should be diverted.

The Bennet family showed unprecedented enthusiasm for the visit of the Bingley brothers and sisters, especially Mr. Bingley.Caroline felt a little strange at first, but when she met the legendary Mr. Collins, she understood why.Mr. Collins really lives up to his reputation aha!

Mr. Collins was really amazing. He looked at the expression of the Bennet family as if they had encountered some horrific beast these days, and then looked at Mr. Collins who was talking boastfully. Caroline was so happy that she almost couldn't maintain her ladylike image. Miss Elizabeth Bennet had one eye.

Mr. Bingley's attention is all on Miss Jane Bennet. Her every move and every smile attracts his special attention. As for Mr. Collins, let's go and cool off.Mrs. Bennet, who had been watching their interaction, was very happy. When Mr. Collins mentioned that one of the purposes of coming to Longbourn was to ask for a lady as his wife, before Mr. Bingley could react, she hurriedly explained He said that this gentleman was only interested in a few young daughters, and he almost said to Mr. Bingley, don't worry, our Jane is yours.

Caroline sat on the sidelines watching the play very happily, and suddenly felt a very resentful gaze staring at her. When she looked up, she found that it was Miss Elizabeth Bennet. She secretly smiled and decided to help her friend.Mrs. Bennet, with all her thoughts on her good son-in-law, was naturally very attentive to his sister, and Caroline was very cheerful when she asked her to let the Miss Bennets show Meryton. He let Elizabeth go, and repeatedly asked Elizabeth to entertain well, and not to let the guests see the joke.

It's a pity that apart from Elizabeth, the two youngest daughters of the Bennet family will also follow.Mr. Collins, who was talking on the sidelines, saw that his fiancée was leaving (he already regarded Elizabeth as his wife), so he volunteered to accompany the ladies.Caroline had no choice but to give Elizabeth a helpless look. Miss Bennet's thoughts were half lost, but this lady still picked up her interest and went out with the thought that something is better than nothing.
