Elizabeth rushed to Jane's side, whose head was resting on the table as she had fainted whilst seated next to it. There was no bruising or any averse signs regarding her recovery, so smelling salts were called for and a cloth to wipe her brow. Jane came around quickly, but her distress nearly became that of an emotional kind.
"Lizzy, I don't know if I can bear it."
"Oh, no sense girl!" Mrs. Bennet countered, "you will be the means of bringing security and happiness to all your family!"
The matron rushed to the door of mr. Bennett's study, ready to greet. The man wants there discussion was concluded. Jane faithfully recounted Mr. Collins in words. He had embarrassed himself and her as he listed his reasons for marriage the last line and the entire focus on Lady Catherine de Bourg left no room for doubt regarding who would hold the most sway in the Collins household.
After Elizabeth had been told the entire affair, and that Jane had fainted before she was able to reply, these words stuck out as a means to extend Jane's freedom long enough to find a more permanent way to secure it: "This is my advice. Find such a woman as soon as you can, bring her to Hunsford, and I will visit her."
"A visit, Jane! We must convince Mr. Collins he had better have his patroness meet his choice to give her approval before anything as binding as even an engagement can take place! Indeed Jane, it is possible that you may not need to answer at all. Come, let's go to Father."
