Prepare yourself for the Darcy-fan-girl-squeeing.
Okay so the first thing that happens is that Charlotte's father leaves and Lizzy gets to inwardly pick on Mr. Collins some more. Mr. Collins spends most of his time outside in his garden waiting for carriages to pass, when they do he runs to the house tells all the ladies who just went past and then runs back to his garden. At this point in the story I think it is better to temporarily change his character to the post main in the Zelda games and give Excalibur to Lady Catherine for now.
Lady Catherine continues to critic everything that everyone does and when she deems Charlotte worthy enough of her presence she spends the whole time giving her advice about how she could be doing her job as a wife better, how she could manage her house better, and how her "joints of meat were too large for her family" and yes that is referring to actual meat.
Anyway things get boring then the Easter holiday comes around and they find out that Lady Catherine's nephews are coming and enter Mr. Darcy and his cousin Colonel Fitzwilliam. And of course they know the minute that they get in because Collins is running back and forth to check to see when they come and they almost immediately call on Collins' house and Charlotte is like, "Thanks Lizzy since he definitely is not here to see me."
Colonel Fitzwilliam is about thirty and not overly handsome, but he is very friendly and talkative and he takes to Lizzy rather quickly which makes Darcy jealous very quickly. Lizzy is too busy trying to
make Darcy look worse than he really is in her own head and honestly she does not get very far.
In chapter 31 we see Colonel F. flirting a lot with Lizzy he is being very charming they start talking about books and music and Darcy starts eyeing her because she is laughing and talking happily and he is so so so jealous that he can't make her laugh like that. Darcy isn't the only one who notices, Lady Catherine makes it a point to be overly nagging whenever they start talking in a manner she finds too friendly. At one point she actually manages to embarrass Darcy with her "ill breeding" meaning she was acting rude.
Then Colonel F. gets Lizzy to play on the piano for him and Lady Catherine starts talking to Darcy and he straight up walks away from her to listen to Lizzy. Lizzy starts to mess with him and he actually just smiles at her a lot. A few times he pokes fun at her too. At one point she brings up how rude he was at the ball and he says that he was never very good at being a people person and in a round about way she tells him its his fault for not trying and practicing. Mind you the whole time poor Fitzwilliam is sitting there being used rather than actually talked too and I sort of felt bad for him.
By far my favorite line is when Lizzy is threatening to tell his family how he was so rude and prideful at the Ball and he says "I am not afraid of you" and he smiles at her and the fan-girling just gets worse.
The chapter ends with the boys making her play until the carriage came to get them.
I am sorry there wasn't another chapter originally the plan was to do three chapters but it is 12:33 where I am so I need to get some sleep. Anyway I will try to get more up this week in between the several papers that must be finished and the reading that my western civilization teacher throws at us. Please become minions (followers) if you do not have a blogger account then the only question is why not!!!! Also follow my on the tweeters @KauruRoss for updates when they happen.
