Fragment IV

Elizabeth Darcy emerged from the mansion doorway in an exquisite, yet simple and utilitarian dress. She was ecstatic at getting to see her oldest friend once again, less so about the olfactory sensation that was Mr Collins.

“Why Charlotte, you could have written to let me know you were coming! Come right in.” announced Elizabeth excitedly. As Mr Collins began to follow his wife she turned to him, “I’m afraid Mr Collins that you shall have to enter through the back door, we recently had new carpets installed.”

Hence Mr Collins collected his bearing and his herring and went on the 15 minute walk to the other side of the house. In the mean time Elizabeth showed Charlotte the room, she would be staying in (conveniently far away from Mr Collins’ room), while they talked about motherhood and Charlotte’s plans once the baby arrived.

Later that afternoon they were joined by Mr Collins for tea and even Mr Darcy turned up. Mr Darcy had recently been suffering from schizofernia due to an unfortunate gardening incident and so was sticking to the parts of the house, further away from the garden. Mr Collins in the mean time had managed to partially remove the stench from himself and Elizabeth had him surrounded by so many flowers, incense and myrrh that he was actually bearable for shorter lengths of time.
