Rosings

What a dreadful place! I know how very difficult it is for Elizabeth to be in the company of Mr. Collins, as it is for us all, but to deal with both him and Lady Catherine would be unbearable. I find it hard enough with the countless schemes of my wife. And to hear that Mr. Darcy and his cousin have arrived as well! I do fear for the poor girl as she obviously has no one there except Charlotte to talk to. Thank heavens I can observe these events from the comfort of Longbourn.
