"Lady Catherine! What an honour!"

"Where is Miss Elizabeth Bennet?"

"My daughter is out for a walk with your nephew. They make a handsome couple. I never knew Mr Darcy could be so amiable."

"Mr Darcy is anything but amiable. He is always glum and dour."

"Wait till you see him. My Lizzy makes him laugh all the time."

"Laugh? That is preposterous!"

"He told me how you are such a grand lady with the finest tastes!"

"Oh?"

"Let me call for tea and you can tell me more about Rosings, especially your famous chimney!"

"Certainly! My pleasure, Mrs Bennet."
