"In as short a time as Mr. Collin's long speeches would allow, everything was settled between them to the satisfaction of both; and as they entered the house, he earnestly entreated her to name the day that was to make him the happiest of men; and though such a solicitation must be waved for the present, the lady felt no inclination to trifle with his happiness" (93).
Well, Mr. Collins, I guess, wanted a wife really badly. I guess this shows his loyalty to Lady Cathrine who had advised him to do so. This just proves that he things of Lady Cathrine before all other women, because he couldn't love Charlotte yet. He barely knew her. This all must just be to appease Lady Cathrine, and Charlotte too, who found this marriage advantageous.
"Hope was over, entirely over; and when Jane could attend to the rest of the letter... Miss Darcy's praise occupied the chief of it... Caroline boasted joyfully of their increasing intimacy" (103).
I can't believe Jane can still think of Caroline as a good person! Obviously she was adding all of those unnecessary things about Bingley and Miss Darcy to Jane to upset her and make her want to cut all ties with Bingley, when they both obviously like each other. I'm not at all surprised at Caroline, I mean, I expected this of her, but it's so cruel I can hardly imagine a person doing it.
