Mr Collins wastes no time in his pursuit of a wife. Just three days after being refused by Lizzy, he's proposing again – this time to her friend Charlotte Lucas, who takes a far more practical view of the offer.  

And, with Darcy and Bingley away in London, the charismatic Mr Wickham has come out of the woodwork again. But what designs does the young soldier have on the Bennet family?
