An Easter Feast

Mr. Collins, his wife, and their guests recently came to Easter dinner at Rosings. As always, Lady Catherine was particularly forward, and she offered her opinion on all aspects of the evening. I was particularly ashamed of her actions when she offered Miss Elizabeth Bennet use of the servants' piano. She treated Elizabeth as a commoner even though I see in her beauty and magnificence. Following coffee, Elizabeth sat down to play the piano and I maneuvered myself in her direction. I wished to see her, but she simply smirked at my approach. I tried to have a general conversation with her; however, she seemed quite amused. I went along with it as she made fun of me about my time at Hertfordshire, and i feel as if we made a connection. I am still uncertain as to how she feels about me, but I am hopeful that she is beginning to warm up to my presence.
