START: Lizzy: Won’t you be - (seated?)

Lady Catherine: Miss Bennet. A most distressing rumor has been brought to my attention. Your friend Mrs. Collins confided a certain scandalous falsehood to her husband - and he, Very Rightly, came straight to me. You of course know what I am speaking of. Come. Come. Do not Play Games.

[... … …]

END: Lady Catherine: So you would burden Fitzwilliam with your sordid family history?!

Lizzy: I must ask you to leave.

Lady Catherine: You do know that any connection you may have with Mr. Darcy would absolutely disgrace him, don’t you?! You would make him the laughingstock of the world.
