SUMMARY:
The Group goes to meet and Dine with Lady Catherine de Bourgh and her daughter. Before the visit, Mr Collins goes fussing over his Guests’ dress. When the arrive, the majority of the group is stressing over the grandeur of Rosings and its owner, Elizabeth however is the opposite of the group, and feels equal to the scene of the house and people in it. Lady Catherine is exactly what she expected, a large, pompous woman, who loves nothing more that people praising her and her home. The young Miss de Bourgh is very small and very sickly looking, and she talks to no one over the dinner while Mrs Jenkinson, her mistress, fusses over her. Lady Catherine talks throughout the supper and leaves scarcely an opening for Elizabeth to talk. In the drawing room, Lady Catherine talks more and more about anything and everything, and gives familial advice to Mrs Collins.
She eventually asks Elizabeth about her family, education, and state. She is upset that the family home of Longborne is to be taken away form her sisters, but that she is glad it will go to Mr Collins. She then asks of Elizabeth’s skills, piano, drawing, etc. and is upset that she has few of these, and astounded that she didn’t have a governess with 4 sisters, saying that she must have been neglected. When she enquires as to her sisters’ outings, she is shocked that her sisters go out before the elders are married, and Elizabeth states openly her opinion that they should be permitted to do as they please…

SUMMARY:
Elizabeth finally arrives at Charlotte and Mr Collins’ home in Huntsford. When she arrives, both Charlotte and her cousin are waiting for her carriage and are greeted politely by Charlotte, and all too much by Mr Collins. Mr Collins then gives his new guests a tour of the house and the garden, in which he gives them a first glimpse of Rosings, the huge estate that the Collins’ live next to. The following day, a commotion downstairs causes Charlotte’s sister to call for Elizabeth to descend the stairs where she very unimpressedly claims that it is only the De Bourgh Family and isn’t anything to make a fuss about. Elizabeth notes that Miss de Bourgh looks sickly and smiles at what Mr Darcy shall be married to. Charlotte and Mr Collins soon enter and inform the group that they have all been invited to supper at Rosings.

SUMMARY:
When Prendick awakes, he finds that one of the Dog-like Beast Folk has found where he hid and is laying on his legs, acting more like a dog than a man. The Dog-man calls him "Master" and swears his fealty to him. The two, as Prendick knows he needs an ally, make their way towards the sound of other Beast Folk outside. Prendick asserts the power of Moreau again, and manages to convince some of them that "the Law" and "The House of Pain" live on. 10 months go by during which nothing, he says, happens. He says that he is constantly on watch for the Hyena-Swine and is grateful for his Dog-man's protection.
After 7 months, the Beast Folk, as warned by Dr Moreau, gradually lose their ability to speak and walk on the hind legs. It happens as a slow but steady rate, and Moreau hardly notices the change in the man at his side to the dog at his feet. Prendick's hair grows long and his clothes fall to ruins, and he starts to become more alert, aware of the animal-ness of the creatures. He realises that the Beast Folk will forget his authority and overpower him and he decides that he needs to escape, and find a boat...
