On
Michaelmas the condescending clergyman Mr. Collins arrives at Longbourn to stay
with his relatives the Bennets. Oh, and choose one of them to marry since he is
slated to inherit the house when Mr. Bennet dies and marrying would keep the
house in the family. It’s complicated.
How
to Commemorate:
- Choose which of your cousins you would marry--and then (because we're not gross) choose one of their neighbors for real!
- Write down some compliments that you could use at a future time to lighten someone’s mood.
- Pick one person you know, and kiss their ass. Like, a lot of ass.
- Eat a goose. It’s not really mentioned in the book, but it’s a Michaelmas tradition, I promise!
