Every object in the next day's journey was new and interesting to Elizabeth; and her spirits were in a state of enjoyment; for she had seen her sister looking so well as to banish all fear for her health, and the prospect of her northern tour was a constant source of delight.
When they left the high road for the lane to Hunsford, every eye was in search of the Parsonage, and every turning expected to bring it in view. The palings of Rosings Park was their boundary on one side. Elizabeth smiled at the recollection of all that she had heard of its inhabitants.
(Zea Page - This song is all about traveling and in the beginning of this chapter Elizabeth is going on a journey to a place that she has never gone before. The journey “was new and interesting to Elizabeth” and her mood was a “state of enjoyment” because the journey was a “source of delight”. This entire segment of the chapter is about Elizabeth’s excitement to be “on the road again” so this song seems to be perfect for it.)
(Corie - The song is U Smile by Justin Bieber. The song is essentially about how if the other person or people smile, you smile as well. And because there were good events happening in Elizabeth's life such as the journey and her sisters were looking well, she smiles too in the enjoyment of others.)
At length the Parsonage was discernible. The garden sloping to the road, the house standing in it, the green pales, and the laurel hedge, everything declared they were arriving. Mr. Collins and Charlotte appeared at the door, and the carriage stopped at the small gate which led by a short gravel walk to the house, amidst the nods and smiles of the whole party. In a moment they were all out of the chaise, rejoicing at the sight of each other.
(Corie Hahn- This passage describes the journey and house as something fancy. The descriptions are very livid so when I was reading about the Parsonage, I pictured the gardens and the fancy house. Everything in the picture describes the ideal image for a luxurious lifestyle just like the description.)
Mrs. Collins welcomed her friend with the liveliest pleasure, and Elizabeth was more and more satisfied with coming when she found herself so affectionately received. She saw instantly that her cousin's manners were not altered by his marriage; his formal civility was just what it had been, and he detained her some minutes at the gate to hear and satisfy his inquiries after all her family. They were then, with no other delay than his pointing out the neatness of the entrance, taken into the house; and as soon as they were in the parlour, he welcomed them a second time, with ostentatious formality to his humble abode, and punctually repeated all his wife's offers of refreshment.
Elizabeth was prepared to see him in his glory; and she could not help in fancying that in displaying the good proportion of the room, its aspect and its furniture, he addressed himself particularly to her, as if wishing to make her feel what she had lost in refusing him. But though everything seemed neat and comfortable, she was not able to gratify him by any sigh of repentance, and rather looked with wonder at her friend that she could have so cheerful an air with such a companion.
(Helen Kang- When I was reading this part, I imagined a big, perfectly ordered, luxurious, elegant living-room that showed wealth and high-social status because Mr. Collins wanted to show off his well-being to Elizabeth. But of course, Elizabeth didn't fall for that.)
When Mr. Collins said anything of which his wife might reasonably be ashamed, which certainly was not unseldom, she involuntarily turned her eye on Charlotte. Once or twice she could discern a faint blush; but in general Charlotte wisely did not hear. After sitting long enough to admire every article of furniture in the room, from the sideboard to the fender, to give an account of their journey, and of all that had happened in London, Mr. Collins invited them to take a stroll in the garden, which was large and well laid out, and to the cultivation of which he attended himself. To work in this garden was one of his most respectable pleasures; and Elizabeth admired the command of countenance with which Charlotte talked of the healthfulness of the exercise, and owned she encouraged it as much as possible.Here, leading the way through every walk and cross walk, and scarcely allowing them an interval to utter the praises he asked for, every view was pointed out with a minuteness which left beauty entirely behind.
Drive By - Boring
(Beatrice Park) Here are some lines from the song: "You're boring...I don't love you... Another thing your stories. Uninteresting and boring. Eventually they have to end. End right now... You're boring. You're boring..." Mr. Collins's hobby is gardening and Charlotte "encouraged it as much as possible" because she doesn't went to spend her time with such a bore. Charlotte didn't even love Mr. Collins in the first place. Mr. Collins boasts about his garden and talks about every single minor aspect of his garden that his uninteresting story "left beauty entirely behind."
He could number the fields in every direction, and could tell how many trees there were in the most distant clump. But of all the views which his garden, or which the country or kingdom could boast, none were to be compared with the prospect of Rosings, afforded by an opening in the trees that bordered thpark nearly opposite the front of his house. It was a handsome modern building, well situated on rising ground.
From his garden, Mr. Collins would have led them round his two meadows; but the ladies, not having shoes to encounter the remains of a white frost, turned back; and while Sir William accompanied him, Charlotte took her sister and friend over the house, extremely well pleased, probably, to have the opportunity of showing it without her husband's help. It was rather small, but well built and convenient; and everything was fitted up and arranged with a neatness and consistency of which Elizabeth gave Charlotte all the credit. When Mr. Collins could be forgotten, there was really an air of great comfort throughout, and by Charlotte's evident enjoyment of it, Elizabeth supposed he must be often forgotten.

This is not literally a restraining order that Elizabeth orders Mr. Collins. However, he acts as though he is put on a restraining order from Elizabeth. Mr. Collins is out in the garden for almost the whole time that Elizabeth comes to visit her old friend, Charlotte Lucas. It seems as though if Elizabeth and Mr. Collins were to marry, their relationship would be like a cat and a mouse. Thus, the mouse holding, it works, shows how Elizabeth functions as the restraining order between Mr. Collins and Charlotte.
Helping Your Friend's Marriage
(Zea Page - This article talks about how to help a friend who doesn’t have a happy marriage, and although Charlotte seems to be fine with her marriage, maybe Elizabeth would have appreciated having tips like these on how to support her friend. This article would tell Elizabeth to listen to Charlotte and encourage her to work out her problems with Mr. Collins, by maybe discussing with him ways to make their marriage happier.)
She had already learnt that Lady Catherine was still in the country. It was spoken of again while they were at dinner, when Mr. Collins joining in, observed:
"Yes, Miss Elizabeth, you will have the honour of seeing Lady Catherine de Bourgh on the ensuing Sunday at church, and I need not say you will be delighted with her. She is all affability and condescension, and I doubt not but you will be honoured with some portion of her notice when service is over. I have scarcely any hesitation in saying she will include you and my sister Maria in every invitation with which she honours us during your stay here. Her behaviour to my dear Charlotte is charming. We dine at Rosings twice every week, and are never allowed to walk home. Her ladyship's carriage is regularly ordered for us. I should say, one of her ladyship's carriages, for she has several."
"Lady Catherine is a very respectable, sensible woman indeed," added Charlotte, "and a most attentive neighbour."
"Very true, my dear, that is exactly what I say. She is the sort of woman whom one cannot regard with too much deference."
The evening was spent chiefly in talking over Hertfordshire news, and telling again what had already been written; and when it closed, Elizabeth, in the solitude of her chamber, had to meditate upon Charlotte's degree of contentment, to understand her address in guiding, and composure in bearing with, her husband, and to acknowledge that it was all done very well. She had also to anticipate how her visit would pass, the quiet tenor of their usual employments, the vexatious interruptions of Mr. Collins, and the gaieties of their intercourse with Rosings. A lively imagination soon settled it all.
About the middle of the next day, as she was in her room getting ready for a walk, a sudden noise below seemed to speak the whole house in confusion; and, after listening a moment, she heard somebody running upstairs in a violent hurry, and calling loudly after her. She opened the door and met Maria in the landing place, who, breathless with agitation, cried out—
"Oh, my dear Eliza! pray make haste and come into the dining-room, for there is such a sight to be seen! I will not tell you what it is. Make haste, and come down this moment."
Elizabeth asked questions in vain; Maria would tell her nothing more, and down they ran into the dining-room, which fronted the lane, in quest of this wonder; It was two ladies stopping in a low phaeton at the garden gate.
"And is this all?" cried Elizabeth. "I expected at least that the pigs were got into the garden, and here is nothing but Lady Catherine and her daughter."
(Phillip Song- In this chapter, Elizabeth sees Mrs. Jenkinson and Miss de Bourgh. This is the first time that she meets Mrs. Jenkison and Miss de Bourgh, who are related to Lady Catherine. The picture above shows Lady Catherine’s gate. It indicates the beginning of bad events that will happen to Elizabeth.)
"La! my dear," said Maria, quite shocked at the mistake, "it is not Lady Catherine. The old lady is Mrs. Jenkinson, who lives with them; the other is Miss de Bourgh. Only look at her. She is quite a little creature. Who would have thought that she could be so thin and small?"
"She is abominably rude to keep Charlotte out of doors in all this wind. Why does she not come in?"
"Oh, Charlotte says she hardly ever does. It is the greatest of favours when Miss de Bourgh comes in."
"I like her appearance," said Elizabeth, struck with other ideas. "She looks sickly and cross. Yes, she will do for him very well. She will make him a very proper wife."

You Make Me Sick - Pink
Elizabeth mocks Catherine De Bourgh, explicitly expressing her view on De Bourgh’s appearance, “She looks sickly and cross.” The idea of sickly and cross is clearly illustrated in this music where the the lyrics sound, “you make me sick.” Although the parts of the body that are referring are different, the idea of “sick” is similar in both situation. For Elizabeth, she describes Catherine to make her sick.
Mr. Collins and Charlotte were both standing at the gate in conversation with the ladies; and Sir William, to Elizabeth's high diversion, was stationed in the doorway, in earnest contemplation of the greatness before him, and constantly bowing whenever Miss de Bourgh looked that way.
At length there was nothing more to be said; the ladies drove on, and the others returned into the house. Mr. Collins no sooner saw the two girls than he began to congratulate them on their good fortune, which Charlotte explained by letting them know that the whole party was asked to dine at Rosings the next day.

When I first heard about the journey that Elizabeth was taking to forget about what happened to her and Mr.Collins and her friend, this music came to mind. This piece of music does not have any lyrics on it but the mood of the song is very clear. You feel like you are one a journey to somewhere and you are very excited to feel this feeling of excitement derived from somewhere you don't even know. It is just feeling of excitement you feel and joy from nowhere. This might be a great opportunity for Elizabeth to forget what happened to her. The feeling of betrayal that she might have felt may disappear from this journey.
