episode 2: mr. william collins, a sycophantic dimwitted clergyman, visits his cousins, the bennets. he is the entailed heir of their home and estate, longbourn, and intends to marry one of mr. bennet's daughters. this is meant, on his part, as an act of benign goodwill towards the bennets, because mrs. bennet and her unwed daughters will be rendered homeless once mr. bennet dies and mr. collins inherits the estate. he therefore invites himself for a two-week visit, to get to know the bennets better and select a wife from among the daughters of the family. however, the bennet girls judge mr. collins to be a rather ridiculous man, an "oddity" with many peculiarities of speech and deportment. they are nevertheless civil to him, and take him to balls and social events in meryton. one day, while on a walk around meryton village, they meet members of a newly arrived militia, including a mr george wickham. at a social event, wickham befriends elizabeth and tells her that his father was the steward for darcy's late father, and that he originally planned to join the clergy. he says that when darcy has denied wickham a living (a curacy), which had been assured to him by mr. darcy's father. at another social event, darcy surprises elizabeth with a dance offer at a ball at netherfield, which she grudgingly but politely accepts. mr collins proposes to elizabeth the next day, but she resoundingly rejects him. while mrs bennet disagrees about elizabeth's decision, her close friend charlotte lucas invites mr collins to stay at lucas lodge.
