Arriving at the parsonage in Kent to visit her friend Charlotte, Lizzy submits to an exhaustive tour of the neighbourhood, conducted by her tedious cousin Mr Collins. Every local landmark is pointed out in minute detail, not least the grand estate at Rosings, home to his wealthy patroness, Lady Catherine De Bourgh.  

Before long, Lady Catherine invites Lizzy and the Collinses round for dinner... where our free-spirited young heroine doesn't exactly make a favourable impression.
