Lady Catherine could hardly believe it when Elizabeth refused Mr. Collins' marriage proposal.
I can hardly believe how fast a cheetah can run.

Yes, Mary was jealous of Elizabeth because Mary's mother, Catherine of Aragon, was divorced against her will so that Henry VIII could marry Elizabeth's mother. And when Mary claimed the throne she bullied Elizabeth a lot. But eventually Elizabeth became the Queen. Good for her.
John and Rashna could hardly believe their bad luck when, during bad weather, their car slid into a ditch.

It's generally thought that she, for whatever reason, permitted and even assisted with a certain amount of what could be considered "sexual play" between Thomas Seymour and Elizabeth, though it should probably be stressed that, at least when Catherine was present, this fell short of actual sex and that she seems to have been either naive (unlikely, her marriage to Seymour was her fourth) or willfully blind to the sexual nature of the 'tickling' and other horseplay that Seymour was indulging in with Elizabeth. When she discovered Seymour and Elizabeth in an embrace, she essentially threw Elizabeth out of the house and they never saw each other again.
Their reactions could not be more different. To Mr Collins, Lady Catherine is practically a saint - she is right about everything, and he feels incredibly fortunate to have secured her patronage as she is both rich and of a high social rank. To Elizabeth, however, she is disagreeable, snobbish and arrogant, with no superior qualities apart from wealth (to which Elizabeth attaches very little importance) to justify her high opinion of herself.

One could believe her statements that she was too much of a prude to be intimate with any man before she married him.
Darcy's hope is inspired when Elizabeth visits Pemberley and he witnesses her sincere admiration for the estate and his sister. This leads him to believe that Elizabeth's feelings towards him may have softened and she could potentially change her mind about him.
