Pride and Prejudice Chapter 28 Summary

  • 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.
