One of Catherine's suitors is a wool merchant who Catherine calls 'Master Lack-Wit'. She describes him as ugly, middle-aged and having a plugged nose. To scare him off, she makes herself very unattractive at dinner. In October, another suitor arrives, who is described as very handsome but pompous. Catherine scares him off by describing Lady Catherine (he is unaware that he is speaking to Catherine when they meet) as stupid and hunchbacked.
