After being thoroughly rejected by Elizabeth Bennet, Mr Collins runs away to the other respectable family in Meryton, the Lucas, and doesn't wait a moment in proposing to Lizzy's best friend, Charlotte Lucas. Charlotte is not romantic, she only wants a house and some pocket money, so she's happy to marry the dumbest man in England.
Don't worry, Lizzy. You'll have time to do some more rejecting this episode.
