Chapter summary
This chapter advances the novel’s social and emotional action around Chapter 37, using dialogue, family expectations, and manners to reveal character motives and relationships. Its opening movement begins: The two gentlemen left Rosings the next morning; and Mr. Collins having been in waiting near the lodges, to make them his parting obeisance, was able to bring home the pleasing intelligence of their appearing in very good health, and in as tolerable spirits as could be expected, after the melancholy scene so lately gone through at Rosings.
Modern reader note
Read this chapter in its Regency social context. Courtship, inheritance, gender expectations, class manners, and family authority around Chapter 37 reflect the novel’s historical world rather than present-day norms.
