by Jane Austen
Read by Mr. Ronald Watkins

Down to Kent, with Elizabeth and the Bennet and Lucas families, to meet Lady Catherine de Bourgh, that autocrat of the tea-table, to whom Mr. Collins in triumph presents his bride. Elizabeth is again thrown unwillingly into the company of Mr. Darcy, who, to her intense astonishment, makes her an offer of marriage, which she, to his equal astonishment, rejects. Mr. Watkins reads from Chapter XXIX today, and from Chapter XXXII on Thursday.
