When Lady Catherine and her daughter had played as long as they chose, the tables were broke up, the carriage was offered to Mrs. Collins, gratefully accepted, and immediately ordered. The party then gathered round the fire to hear Lady Catherine determine what weather they were to have on the morrow. From these instructions they were summoned by the arrival of the coach, and with many speeches of thankfulness on Mr. Collins's side, and as many bows on Sir William's, they departed. As soon as they had driven from the door, Elizabeth was called on by her cousin to give her opinion of all that she had seen at Rosings, which, for Charlotte's sake, she made more favourable than it really was. But her commendation, though costing her some trouble, could by no means satisfy Mr. Collins, and he was very soon obliged to take her ladyship's praise into his own hands.
等到咖苔琳夫人母女俩玩得不想再玩的时候,两桌牌桌就散场了,打发马车送柯林斯太太回去,柯林斯太太很感激地接受了,于是马上叫人去套车。大家又围着火炉,听咖苔琳夫人断定明天的天气怎么样。等到马车来了,叫他们上车,他们方始停止受训。柯林斯先生说了多少感激的话,威廉爵士鞠了多少躬,大家方才告别。马车一走出门口,柯林斯就要求伊丽莎白发表她对于罗新斯的感想,她看在夏绿蒂面上,便勉强敷衍了他几句。她虽然勉为其难地说出了一大篇好话,却完全不能叫柯林斯先生满意,柯林斯没有办法,只得立刻亲自开口,把老夫人大大重新赞扬了一番。
