This question refers to Bingley's ball at Netherfield. Lizzy's first two dances were claimed by Mr Collins, who was interested in marrying her. He had been told to marry by Lady Catherine de Bourgh, his patroness, to whom he played a grovelling subservient. He imagined he could interest Lizzy in marriage because she was poor and had no clear options.
