Ch. 28-29

Quiz #2 will not be a "regular" quiz--it will be done over the course of the week.

First of all we are obviously skipping some chapters here (depending on attendance)--
Elizabeth asks for advice from her dad and her aunt, Mrs. Gardiner about Wickham. Her dad tells her to "go for it" and her aunt tells her to not let her feelings "run away with her". Just when Elizabeth decides to take her dad's advice and go for Wickham, she finds out he is now dating a girl named Miss King who has just inherited a large sum of money so he drops Elizabeth. She decides to go visit her friend Charlotte (no Mrs. Collins) at Lady Catherine's estate (Rosings).

Ch. 28
1. How does Mr. Collins try to make Elizabeth feel as he gives her the tour of his home?
2. Describe Lady Catherine's daughter (physical traits).

Ch. 29
1. Par. 1 states that Mr. Collins got "exactly what he had wished for"---what is it?
2.What does Mr. Collins tell Elizabeth not to be overly concerned about (this is an insult)?
3. Compare/contrast the description of Lady Catherine and her daughter.
4. During dinner, Lady Catherine is critical of Elizabeth and her family for several things--what are they?
5. Why does Elizabeth's behavior/manner of speaking shock Lady Catherine?
