Rosings Park, in Kent, is the residence of [Lady Catherine de Bourgh](../persons/lady-catherine-de-bourgh.md).[^s1]
[Mr. Collins](../persons/mr-collins.md)'s parsonage at Hunsford is separated from it only by
a lane.[^s1] Collins reports that a single drawing-room chimney-piece at Rosings cost eight hundred
pounds.[^s2] It is rumoured that Lady Catherine's daughter, Miss de Bourgh, heiress of Rosings,
will one day marry her cousin [Fitzwilliam Darcy](../persons/fitzwilliam-darcy.md), uniting the two
estates.[^s3] Miss de Bourgh herself is "pale and sickly," with insignificant features and a
companion, Mrs. Jenkinson, in constant attendance on her.[^s4] [Fitzwilliam Darcy](../persons/fitzwilliam-darcy.md)
and his cousin [Colonel Fitzwilliam](../persons/colonel-fitzwilliam.md) visit Rosings over Easter,
during which time [Elizabeth Bennet](../persons/elizabeth-bennet.md), visiting the neighbouring
parsonage, dines there repeatedly and is closely questioned by Lady Catherine.[^s5]
