Mrs. Bennet accosts the couple as soon as they leave the room and starts congratulating them.
Mr. Collins is all, Thanks! She said no, but I'm sure she's just trying to be a proper female!

She freaks out and yells for her husband.
In the study, Mrs. Bennet threatens to never see Elizabeth again if she continues to refuse Mr. Collins, at which point Mr. Bennet threatens to never see Elizabeth again if she <em>accepts </em>Mr. Collins.
Meanwhile, Charlotte Lucas arrives and Mr. Collins asks how her family is.
