From Pride and Prejudice, a play founded on Jane Austen's novel by Steele, Mrs. MacKaye

I hope you are pleased with Kent, Miss Elizabeth. (ELIZABETH: Very much, Mr. Collins.) I do not think the kingdom can boast a grander scene than the one now spread before our eyes: (Pointing.) This garden--that park with Rosings in the distance. Do not you think my dear Charlotte is most fortunately placed, Miss Elizabeth? (ELIZABETH: Most fortunately, Mr. Collins.) And when you have seen Lady Catherine, you will be more deeply impressed, I am sure. We can hardly expect her to call upon you. This illness of Miss de Bourg would prevent it, and in any case it would be an act of extreme condescension on her part; but I am quite confident that you will receive an invitation to drink tea of a Sunday evening with her, after Mr. Darcy and his cousin are gone, of course. And--we may later have an invitation to dinner--although I would not for the world arouse in you false hopes which may be shattered.
