It's a red-letter day at Longbourn, as Lizzy's cousin Mr Collins makes his move. But despite Mrs Bennet's fulsome encouragement, his unromantic marriage proposal falls on deaf ears, and Lizzy turns him down - several times. Meanwhile, there's trouble in paradise for Jane and Bingley. His scheming sister Charlotte has whisked him away to London, where she's lined up a much richer potential bride-to-be... Mr Darcy's little sister Georgiana. A Noiser podcast production.
