Charlotte Lucas : Mr. Collins tends the gardens himself and spends a good part of every day in them.
Elizabeth Bennet : The exercise must be beneficial.
Charlotte Lucas : Indeed it is. I encourage him to be in his garden as often as possible. Then he has to walk to Rosings nearly every day
Elizabeth Bennet : So often? Is that necessary?
Charlotte Lucas : Perhaps not, but I admit I encourage him in that also. And when he is in the house, he is mostly in his book room which affords a good view of the road whenever Lady Catherine's carriage should drive by.
Elizabeth Bennet : And you prefer to sit in this parlor.
Charlotte Lucas : Yes. So you see, it often happens that a whole day passes in which we have not spent more than a few minutes in each other's company. I find that I can bear the solitude very cheerfully. I find myself... quite content with my situation Lizzy.

Maria Lucas : Who's that girl dancing with Mr. Wickham?
Elizabeth Bennet : Her name is Mary King.
Charlotte Lucas : She's come to stay with her uncle in Meryton.
Maria Lucas : She's not very pretty, is she?
Charlotte Lucas : Beauty is not the only virtue, Maria. She has just inherited a fortune of ten thousand pounds, I understand.
Mrs. Gardiner : Now *that* is a definite virtue.
