Ch. 27 and 28 Summaries--Homework 2/28 (Tues.)

Homework: Complete the double negatives worksheet from class

Chapters 27 and 28 (which we will skip):
* In March, Elizabeth leaves to visit Charlotte in Hunsford along with Charlotte's family.
* She says an affectionate good-bye to Wickham, even though he is now paying attention to another woman.
* Elizabeth reflects that Wickham will always be her model of perfect amiability in a man.
* Elizabeth and Charlotte's family stop to visit Jane in London on the way.
* Jane looks OK, but Mrs. Gardiner lets Elizabeth know that Jane is still suffering, even though she had thoroughly given up any expectations of a relationship with Mr. or Miss Bingley.
* Mrs. Gardiner also takes back her approval of Wickham, arguing that his switch in his affections from Elizabeth to Ms. King, a woman who had recently inherited money makes him look bad.
* Elizabeth defends him as best she can and reveals that perhaps she is more hurt by Wickham than she cares to admit.
* Elizabeth and the Lucases arrive in Hunsford. Mr. Collins takes care to point out every lovely thing in his home, to give Elizabeth the chance to regret that it's not hers.
* Charlotte takes her around the house and Elizabeth can tell that her friend likes her life, especially when she can forget that Mr. Collins is part of it.
* At dinner, Elizabeth learns that she will be able to meet Lady Catherine during church on Sunday.
* The next day, Elizabeth has a chance to observe Miss de Bourgh, Lady Catherine's daughter. She looks "sickly and cross." This, Elizabeth reflects, is perfect. If Miss de Bourgh is to marry Mr. Darcy, she will be the perfect companion for him.
* Charlotte lets them know that Miss de Bourgh has invited them all to dine at Rosings Park, the de Bourgh estate, the next day.
