[Pride and Prejudice] Mrs Bennett

Chapter 22

As the saying goes, pregnancy is in October, but twins are generally not born until full term, and will always be a little earlier.

One day in the early spring of April, Mr. Bennett, who was carefully supporting his wife for a walk in the woods of his manor, suddenly picked up his big belly nervously after Grace smiled and whispered something to him. She rushed towards the manor house.

Hill, who had been following the two of them, was startled for a moment, then turned around immediately, and ordered the maid behind her to notify the midwife and doctor with a serious expression, then grabbed the hem of her skirt and ran to the mansion.The lady is about to give birth, and she has to go back and arrange everything.

Hot water must be prepared, and the wife should take a bath before giving birth; the production utensils should be boiled and sterilized again; honey water, nutritious porridge, and various foods needed after giving birth must be prepared.There are many things, and she can only be responsible for these things. The housekeeper of the manor can't be as meticulous and thoughtful as she is!

Grace, who had already given birth twice, was very calm. She didn't cry out in pain or fear. Instead, she took a shower in an orderly manner, and then let Mr. Bennett help her walk more in the delivery room before finally lying down on the bed.During the pregnancy, the two babies tossed her very hard, but the birth was smooth, but in just over three hours, the Bennett family had another pair of lovely girls.

According to the names that Mr. Bennett had chosen in advance, the elder sister who was born 5 minutes earlier was called Mary, and the younger sister was Catherine.

Jane and Elizabeth stood by the cradle, curiously looking at the two babies sleeping inside.

"Jane, are they really twins? Why don't they look alike?" Elizabeth looked up strangely and asked Jane who looked like a little lady in a long skirt, "You and Dylan are also twins, so they look alike."

"How am I like Dylan, Liz?" Jane curled her lips.She would be in trouble if she looked like Dylan, she was a girl and Dylan was a boy.A girl who looks like a boy... At that time, not only will she lose face, but the Bennett family will also lose face.

"You and Dylan have the same hair and eye color." Elizabeth said, tilting her head, which seemed very similar to her. "But look at Mary and Catherine, they are both different!"

"Twins don't necessarily all look alike." Jane patted Elizabeth's head in a big way, "It's normal for Mary and Catherine to be like this."

"Really?" Elizabeth bit her baby-fat finger, with a tangled look on her delicate face.

"Really, when you get older, you will understand." Jane nodded.

After a moment of silence, Elizabeth bit her lips and said, "I'll ask Mrs. Este after I get back."

"Why, you don't believe me?" Jane raised her eyebrows, her face with a sweet smile turned serious.

"No!" Elizabeth said, pointing her fingers, "but mother said, if you don't understand, you should ask people... I want to know why twins look different."

Hearing this, Jian frowned. She really didn't know about Elizabeth's question. She didn't even read it in the book. She just occasionally heard her parents jokingly mentioning that so-and-so gave birth to twins, and they turned out to be completely different.

"I'll ask Mrs. Wood when I go back, and then we'll discuss it together." She finally concluded.

"Yeah." Elizabeth nodded, and then her face suddenly collapsed, "Dear Jane, did you come here in the same way? I was only a little over four years old, and Mrs. Este actually asked me to master French proficiently." Conversing in German...is so difficult, I don't have time for afternoon tea with my cute dolls."

"I remember I had one more Latin than you back then, but isn't the language very simple?" Jane smiled brightly at Elizabeth, and hit her without hesitation.She was so relieved that someone finally followed in her footsteps!

"Speaking of which, why do we learn these things, just to become a lady praised by everyone, and then to marry?" The Bennetts did not have as high demands on Elizabeth as Jane, so compared with her peers, she was a bit precocious. Cleverness is cleverness, but it also appears to be childish.

"Where did you hear that?" Jian Wenyan frowned.

Although what Elizabeth said was true, she was still too young to understand these things.If this is what Mrs. Este said to her, she should have a good talk with her parents about whether Elizabeth should replace her governess.

"Isn't he our neighbor?" Elizabeth wrinkled her nose, "that son of the Darcy family who always keeps a straight face."

"When did you know the son of the Darcy family?" Jane looked at Elizabeth suspiciously.

The Darcy family is the largest landowner in Derbyshire, and it is said that the Darcy family's manor, Pemberley, is the most beautiful in England.After the parents bought their property here, they thought about visiting their family, but the time never happened. The two families only knew about each other's existence, but now Elizabeth actually met?

"I ran into it last time when I went for a walk in the woods." Seeing Jane's unexpected expression, Elizabeth hurriedly added, "I didn't go alone, I asked Mrs. Este and Linda to accompany me." Jane's expression was obvious After calming down, Elizabeth quietly swallowed her saliva and continued, "Little Mr. Darcy came to Pemberley Manor alone. It is said that his mother had just given birth to a daughter and had no time to take care of him, so he was sent here."

"From what Housekeeper Eisen said, it seems that Mrs. Darcy's health is not very good." Jane raised her hand thoughtfully and rubbed her smooth chin, "This should be the reason why she can't take care of her son. But Darcy's family should There is no shortage of servants, and you sent your son here specifically?"

Elizabeth laughed, like a little mouse who ate candy, "I know why, it's because that little Mr. Darcy is too serious and rigid, always so stern," she put on a serious look, He raised his head slightly, and then smiled again, "Like this, it seems that he doesn't have any friends. Only the son of Mr. Wickham, the housekeeper of Pemberley Manor, is willing to play with him, so he was sent by his parents. That's it."

"Liz," Jane sighed, and looked at her helplessly, "You are the kind of gossip my mother said! But these are all other people's lies, where did you hear them?"

"The servants at home often talk about this, especially the topic of Pemberley Manor, which is their favorite topic." Elizabeth looked at Jane in surprise, "Don't you know?"

"..."

Jane, the head of the Bennett family who has a heavy learning task, is speechless. She has no time to listen to the maid's chat.But Elizabeth's words reminded her. No wonder her mother told her very carefully that she must restrain her servants, otherwise she would tell her about everything at home.Maybe my family doesn't know about it yet, but it has already spread outside.As a hostess, you must put an end to this!

"Daddy's princesses, can you keep your voice a little quieter?" Mr. Bennett opened the door and walked over gently, put his index finger up to his mouth, and whispered, "Your mother needs to take a good rest. And, wake up These two little princesses are not good either, they are crying right now."

Thinking of the earth-shattering cries of the two babies, Elizabeth curled her lips: "Dad, they are not good at all!"

"You were not the same when you were a child. If you didn't like it, you would cry like hell." Jane dismantled Elizabeth.

Elizabeth looked at Mr. Bennet, her big dark eyes were full of disbelief: "Dad, I'm not what Jane said, I'm very good, right?"

"Hehe." Mr. Bennet chuckled and patted her head, "Babies love to cry, and you all grew up from this. But Jane and Dylan were really good when they were young. I don’t like to cry very much.” He looked at the slim eldest daughter, and nostalgia flashed in his eyes, “Time flies so fast, Daddy’s baby Jane is already this old.”

Elizabeth pouted: "Anyway, I must be better than Mary and Catherine!"

Mr. Bennett and Jane smiled at each other. Elizabeth, who is only a little over four years old, is really cute sometimes.

"Is mom's baby Liz so good? Why doesn't mom know?" Grace on the bed heard this sentence just after waking up, and turned his head to look at Elizabeth with a mocking smile.

"Mom!" Elizabeth rushed over, rubbing her little head against Grace's chest, "Liz has always been very good, really!"

"Hmm, is it?" Grace's face was serious, but the smile in her eyes revealed her true feelings, "Then who picked all the flowers in the garden, who ran around chasing the chickens in the farm, and who Who went out in the fields to catch frogs and muddy their skirts, huh?"

Mr. Bennet has sighed many times. Elizabeth's personality is more boyish, and she was cast in the wrong gender when she was reincarnated.

"Mom!" Elizabeth blushed, looked at Grace with misty dark eyes, and her pink mouth was pouted high.

Patting her head lovingly, Grace said in a gentle voice, "If you don't want what mom says, Liz has to be obedient. Mrs. Esther has come to see mom many times, because mom's Liz made her very sad. Headache. He is obviously a very smart child, but he just refuses to calm down and study hard. Mom is a little disappointed, what did Liz promise mom?"

"Mom, I'm sorry." Elizabeth stood up straight, "I will study hard in the future! Liz will definitely be like Jane, and make my mother proud!" She likes her fragrant and gentle mother the most, and she doesn't want her to be disappointed , I don't want my mother to stop liking her because of this.

"Liz baby is awesome. But do what you say or you'll be a dishonest child. No one likes a dishonest child, 'Wolf' story, Liz herself You can tell it all, right?" Grace was persuasive to her daughter.

"Mom, I will definitely do it!" Elizabeth patted her small chest and said, she was not the child who "wolf is coming"!

"Okay, Mom will wait and see." Grace smiled more and more gently, she sat up and put on the robe beside the bed, hugged Elizabeth and kissed her on the forehead.

The two father and daughter standing aside watched this scene, and Jane said in admiration: "Mom is the most powerful, and Liz, the most mischievous in our family, will obediently listen to her."

"Your mother is the most powerful in our family!" Mr. Bennet nodded earnestly and agreed with his daughter, "Don't talk about Liz, even I have to obey her obediently."

"It's because we all love Mom, don't we, Dad?" Jane said to him, looking back with a smile.

The daughter's bright smile dazzled Mr. Bennet's eyes and warmed his heart at the same time, he touched her head tenderly: "Well, we all love Grace, she is our most important person. "

****

Grace is confinement in Derbyshire, London's social season has begun for a while, and she is too busy to attend.In addition to taking care of two newborn daughters, her brother Edward's wife is also due to give birth, and her younger sister Betty, who has been married for more than six years, is also pregnant for several months at this time.

Neither the Gardner family nor the Phillips family have any female elders, and only her, a married daughter, has experience in giving birth, so she naturally needs her help.After waiting in London for the birth of the eldest daughter of the next generation of the Gardner family, she returned to Longborn without stopping.

Longborn is very close to Meryton, and it takes about half an hour to walk. It is also very convenient for Grace to take care of Betty.On this day, Grace, who came back from Meryton and felt extremely hot, took off his sun hat as soon as he got home and told Hill to go to the kitchen to bring the frozen yogurt he had prepared.After drinking a glass of cold and delicious yogurt, she finally felt alive.

"It's so hot outside, so don't run around anymore." Mr. Bennett came in with a letter in his hand, "If you can't, take Betty home. The distance is short and you don't have to worry about any problems. , with Mrs. Green at home, you will be more relaxed."

"Mrs. Green is already too busy to take care of Mary and Catherine," Grace squinted at him. "Don't add to her workload."

"I have asked Butler Smith to find another maid who can take care of pregnant women and babies. It would be good to hire one more than planned." Mr. Bennett sat down beside her, and handed her the letter in his hand, "Grace, you are my Viscountess, I don't want you to make yourself so tired for others, even if this other is your sister."

"I'm sensible, Cecil. In fact, I'm not very tired, but I think it's a bit hot. We haven't spent summer in Longborn in the past few years, and we're not used to the weather here." Grace said with a smile.

The reason she was so good to Edward and Betty was because she occupied the bodies of their family.In any case, she became Grace, so she should bear everything about her.The changes after she married Mr. Bennett are obvious, but the Gardner family has always stood behind her.They gave her family affection again, and she must protect this family affection well.

She opened the envelope, took out the letter and read it.The letter was very short, only a thin sheet of paper, and she read it quickly.The content of the letter made her frown, and she turned to look at Mr. Bennett: "What does Uncle Collins mean to ask us for help?"

Mr. Bennett nodded with a heavy face: "Before Dad passed away, the cousin of the Collins family had a good relationship with him. After Dad passed away, we gradually lost contact. to such a letter."

"Are there any other relatives in the Collins family?" Although the Bennett family is not short of money to raise two children, Grace really doesn't like the presence of a cousin like a young lady in the family.This is a typical sequelae of reading too many Zhaidou novels in modern times.

"Of course there are relatives," Mr. Bennet sneered, "but they won't covet the property of the Collins family. It's probably only our family."

The Collins family's property is so small that the Bennett family doesn't like it, but other families don't necessarily.Uncle Collins' two children, the eldest grandson is only ten years old, and the youngest granddaughter is only three years old. It is too unrealistic to rely on their own strength to protect these properties.

"Speaking of which," Mr. Bennet put his hand on Grace's shoulder, and said with a half-smile, "If we don't have Dylan, the Langborn estate will eventually be inherited by my cousin."

"Don't tell me he is still the second in line." Grace threw the knife over with cold eyes.

"Baby, don't worry about it so much!" Mr. Bennet happily kissed her on the cheek, "The second heir or something, it's just a nice name. If we don't have a son, we will take it when we are old." Longborn's sold." He shrugged his shoulders. "But we've got a son, and you don't need to be upset about a little thing. I'm telling it to please you, darling. .”

"Even if our family's things are not given to Dylan, they should be divided equally between several daughters. How can they be given to outsiders." Grace was still a little bit annoyed, this damn land law, fortunately she has a son, "Besides, Langborn is so important to you, would you be willing to sell it?"

What's more, this piece of land that bears military service cannot be easily resold, and the procedures are too complicated.The land law will not be gradually abolished until Queen Victoria came to power after [-]. During this period, the Bennett family must ensure that there must be a male in the family.

Their generation doesn't need to worry now, when Dylan grows up, let him continue to worry.

"My dear Grace, although the land and ancestral house of Longborn are important, to me now, you and the children are more important." Mr. Bennett looked at her and said affectionately, and then the topic changed Turn, "What do you think of Cousin Collins' request?"

Glancing at him dissatisfied, Grace said dryly, "You've already made up your mind, why are you asking me now?"

"Cousin Collins once helped Dad, Grace." Mr. Bennett hugged Grace into his arms, "Being a man must learn to be grateful, what do you say, dear."

"...You can't ask me to treat those brothers and sisters like Jane and the others." Grace said sullenly in his arms, causing him to chuckle.

"How can I ask you so much? I can't do it myself." Mr. Bennett said lightly, "I will provide the education and life that I should have, and I will provide appropriate care, but we must treat our children like Same, that's impossible."

"But the brothers and sisters in the Collins family are quite pitiful. They lost their parents at a young age, and the grandpa who is dependent on each other now..." Grace felt sore again when he thought of what was written in the letter.

"You, you talk so loudly, but you are the most soft-hearted person in the family!" Mr. Bennet patted her on the back comfortingly, "You bring Betty to the house, there are many servants in the house, you just need to order Just wait until the maid who takes care of the pregnant woman arrives, and you will be able to relax more. Then I can safely go to Hunsford to pick up the brother and sister. Cousin Collins is already seriously ill, and there is no way to send them here."

"Well." Now Grace no longer said that he would go back and forth between the town and Longbourne, "I will write a letter to Betty and Mr. Phillips in a while to explain the situation. You can rest assured, I will take good care of the family. By the way, Dylan wrote last letter saying that he will be back from vacation in the next two days, let him go with you, he will be nine years old soon, and he should learn to deal with these things more."

"Dylan has been doing very well, Grace." Mr. Bennet said kindly for his son, "You don't have to push him so fast."

"He is the eldest son, and there are four younger sisters who need his protection." Grace felt distressed but had no other choice, "We will leave sooner or later, Jane and the others can rely on him... Cecil, you Do you think Dylan will blame me?"

"No baby, Dylan knows what he is carrying, he is very firm and hardworking." Mr. Bennett comforted her softly, "He never complained, he loves you very much, and is very happy Loved his sisters. He was a good boy."

"Then you should take him to Hunsford." Grace raised his head and met Mr. Bennett's black eyes, "Let him see with his own eyes that children, especially girls who have no family protection, meet What kind of difficulties and treatment. If he doesn't want his sisters to become like that, he must work harder!"

"You." Mr. Bennet was helpless, he couldn't wrong his wife, so he could only wrong his son, "Jane and Liz have long been looking forward to Dylan's return, this is good, he stays at home You have to leave with me in a day or two, and you should explain to the two daughters when the time comes."

The older the daughter, the less prestige he has as a father.On the contrary, it was Grace. The children in the family listened to her, whether it was Dylan who was going out to study, or the two newborn daughters.Mary and Catherine, who were only three months old, were two little devils when they were awake. No one but Grace could make them stand up, so Mrs. Green, who stayed with them at night, was so tired.

"Dylan is a boy and has his own things to do. The two of them will understand." Grace smiled softly, but it made Mr. Bennet feel chills down his spine.And their eldest daughter, Jane, now has the same smile as Grace. "If you don't understand, I will keep them too busy to worry about it."

Mr. Bennet smiled wryly. In his opinion, the two daughters already had a lot of homework.Etiquette, social language, dance, painting, piano, art appreciation, equestrianism, female celebrity, language, human relations, etc... Because Liz is young and the second daughter, she is relatively more relaxed than Jane, but her time is basically learned It's full.

The two of them had been looking forward to Dylan's return, hoping that they could take a vacation with him for a few days, but now their plans were all in vain.

"Cecile, the more they learn now, the better they will be in the future. The current busyness is for the leisure in the future." Grace also didn't want to force her daughters to study like this, but for them to have a better future Had to.

That's the heart of being a parent, just as her previous parents left her with her grandparents.Although her childhood was very busy and she didn't enjoy childishness at all, what she learned from her grandmother helped her a lot.Whether she is in the modern workplace or in this strange era, it is because of her hard study that she can be regarded as smooth sailing.

"Busy now, leisure in the future." Mr. Bennet pondered this sentence carefully, and finally said with admiration, "Baby, you said it so well. This sentence is not only useful to the daughters, but also to Dylan. It's the same!"

****

Mr. Bennett and Dylan have been away for more than two months. It was originally expected that it would not take so much time. As a result, when they had just finished talking with Uncle Collins and packed the salutes of the siblings and were about to return to Longbourn, Collins Uncle couldn't bear it and passed away.

Mr Bennett was left to help the two children with the funeral and burial of their grandfather.Then announce the will of Uncle Collins, go through the adoption procedures, become the guardian of the two children, and help William Collins manage the finances of the Collins family before he becomes an adult, and prevent other relatives of the Collins family from selling those properties.

I have to say that the title of Viscount is really useful at this time.If Mr. Bennett was not the Viscount, it would probably take longer to handle these matters, and those relatives would not let go so easily!Dylan also ran up and down with his father, learned more and at the same time, truly experienced the darkness of the adult world, which made Grace's painstaking efforts not in vain.

When Mr. Bennett returned to Longborn, Betty had given birth to her and Mr. Phillips' eldest son, and Mr. Phillips smiled happily.Dylan met his younger cousin at Longbourne, and concluded that his two younger sisters were the cuter ones.

The daughters of Grace and the Bennett family also met Mr. Bennett's adopted son and daughter in the legal sense, the ten-year-old William Collins is a little shy and very cute.Having just experienced the death of his relatives, his face was pale, and his lips were often pressed tightly together.He didn't talk much, basically he only said one sentence when Grace asked him, and he didn't say a word too much.

The three-year-old Lydia Collins is a very bright-looking little girl, probably because Uncle Collins took pity on her and lost her parents when she was a baby, so he spoiled her a bit, and the little girl's behavior seemed a little frivolous .She didn't quite understand the meaning of death, she seemed heartless, she didn't feel sad because of leaving home, but was happy because she was in a magnificent mansion like a castle.

The little girl was different from her elder brother, she chattered non-stop.When I saw the smiling Grace, I wanted to lean in and get close to her.Although she didn't quite understand, she knew that she didn't have parents, but now, she did.She doesn't understand the difference between foster parents and parents, she only knows that this gentle and elegant woman is her mother!

Although she doesn't like Lydia's temper very much, she is now the adopted daughter of the Bennett family, and her every move represents the Bennett family, and Grace will not reject people thousands of miles away.Children who are only three years old, if they are trained/taught well, it is not that they cannot be taught badly.

In this way, the Collins brothers and sisters stayed in the Bennett family and became part of the family.William, like Dylan, has a servant who belongs directly to him.Lydia also has her own maids and tutors. Because of her temper, the maids and tutors arranged for her by Grace are all cold-tempered ones.

She didn't want to affect her own four daughters in the future because of this girl's behavior!

After everything was arranged at home, Dylan and William left home to continue their studies in London, and Lydia began her days of pain and happiness.The strict etiquette education has made her suffer so much that she has long been accustomed to being unrestrained, but the feeling of her mother's strict education and caring for her makes her nostalgic.She gradually grew up in such contradictions and restrained her temper, her behavior was no longer frivolous, she still liked to laugh, but she appeared very temperamental.

The life of the Bennett family began to pass like this again, until five years later, along with the news of the end of the French Revolution, came a sad news from Tenn Temple Street in London.

Old Mr. Gardner returned to God's arms this winter.

Grace, who got the news, almost fainted, hurriedly packed up and saluted, and informed Betty in Meryton that his family hurried to London together.

After Grace got married, she hardly got along with the old Mr. Gardner alone, but she was clear about his love for her.The old man did not have much property, but prepared a dowry of [-] pounds for each of his two daughters. Later, after marriage, he often corresponded with the two daughters, teaching them his life experience, so that they could be better in their married lives. Live better.

He was a kind old man, but now he left them quietly.

Grace wept silently in Mr. Bennett's arms, because she was afraid of being noticed by this old gentleman who loved his daughter, and she seldom went back to the Gardner house on Tianen Temple Street after marriage.Later, even if she wrote to invite the Gardiner family to go to the Lake District and the Derbyshire manor to spend the summer, she was delighted at the old Mr. Gardner's refusal.

Because she was afraid to be alone with the old gentleman, lest she see that she was not his daughter.Even with memories, her little habits are different from her predecessor's.

Now that I think about it, she is really unfilial!

She is Grace, and Grace is her. She doesn't need to be afraid of anything, but in fact, after she got married, she never sat down and chatted with her old father, and she didn't do anything for him.

After rushing to London, Grace saw the kind old Mr. Gardner lying in the coffin with his eyes closed, and finally couldn't help crying on the coffin.Until she fainted from crying, she held the coffin tightly with her hands.

This time the accident made Grace more calm, but at the same time it became easier for people to get close.She finally broke through the barriers she had set up, allowing herself to fully integrate into the world.The death of old Mr. Gardner made her feel extraordinary pain, and it also made her finally understand that she was really living in this world.

In modern times, she can't go back.

She was just Grace Gardner Bennett, mother of five, wife of Cecil Bennett.

"Father passed away very peacefully," Edward comforted Grace. "He said that his life was very satisfying. His two daughters were married and had a good life. And I also inherited his business, and did not let him have no successors." Man. The doctor said he was fine, so cheer up, Grace."

"I know, Edward." Grace said with a crying voice, "Just today, just let me cry once today. I will cheer up tomorrow. I am a proud Viscountess." She finally used a teasing Said in a tone that wanted to show that she was getting better.

"It's fine with me, but someone is already distressed." Edward patted her on the shoulder, motioning her to look towards the door.

Mr. Bennet stood there, staring at her worriedly.

"Cecil..." Seeing him, the tears in her eyes kept falling.In front of him, there is no need to hide her sadness and guilt.

Edward retreated silently and closed the door, leaving room for the couple.

"Here I am, Grace." He walked over and stretched out his long arms to wrap her in his arms.

The familiar breath made Grace slowly calm down and stopped crying.He let go of her and squatted in front of her, took out a handkerchief and gently wiped away her tears.

"I will always be by your side, Grace. Don't cry anymore, your tears make my heart hurt." Mr. Bennet said dryly, "Father, he doesn't want to see you so sad, he said he was very satisfied, No regrets."

"Where are the children?" Grace suddenly asked after a moment of silence.

"Dylan and William went back to school. Today, three classmates accompanied them. Dylan said that he will introduce his friends to you next time. His friends are all good. I will let Jane and the other sisters come to London. Mr. Lawrence has sent a letter to Mr. Brown, and he arranged for someone to pick them up, so you don't have to worry." Mr. Bennett told her the whereabouts of the children one by one.

"Are Dylan and William here too? I don't know at all." Grace smiled wryly. She was in a trance today.

"Edward first notified Dylan, they arrived before us." Mr. Bennett hid the worry in his eyes, "Do you want to rest for a while, or should I take you home now? When Jane left Said she would make a cake and wait for you to go back."

"Let's go back, we can't help here. Where's Betty?" Grace said.She is completely out of shape, staying here will only make things difficult for Edward.

"Mr Betty and Mr Phillips don't have a residence in London, they stay here."

Mr. Bennet helped her get up and walked out, and saw Edward and Betty in the hall. After explaining, the couple put on their coats and left.

In the carriage, Grace snuggled into Mr. Bennett's arms, absorbing the warmth of his body.Outside the car window, snowflakes were falling one after another, and she sighed, "Jane and Dylan's birthdays are coming soon."

"Yes." The corners of Mr. Bennett's lips curled slightly, "At that time, let him and William ask for leave and go home early for their birthdays. Christmas Eve will be two days after their birthdays, and the school should have a long holiday."

After returning home and eating the cake baked by her daughter, Grace's mood gradually recovered completely.Life is like this, some people leave and some people come.There is no never-ending feast in the world, cherish the time together when people are together, that's fine.

Grace will not let old Mr. Gardner's sadness and guilt befall her again, and she will cherish everything around her.

Dylan and William's current school is Eton College, which Mr. Bennett once attended.Not to mention William, Dylan is like a duck to water in this school. He has used all the means to help Mr. Bennett deal with various affairs. Not only has he become a man of the school, but he has also made three good friends. .

This birthday, he invited these three friends to visit the Viscount's mansion.

When Grace saw the three slender, handsome teenagers with completely different personalities, a strange sense of familiarity emerged again.

The tallest stern-faced boy of the three was Fitzwilliam Darcy, the only son of the Darcy family.And the boy with blond hair and a warm smile is named Charles Bingley, the only son of the Bingley family in northern England.The last boy who also has blond hair but has a bit of a naughty face is George Wickham, the godson of old Mr. Darcy.

The author has something to say: Basically all the characters have appeared on the stage.

Because of Grace's butterflies, the characters have slightly different ages.

At the end of the chapter, Darcy and Wickham are 17 years old, Bingley is 15 years old, Dylan and Jane are 13 years old, Elizabeth is 9 years old, Lydia is 8 years old, and Mary, Catherine and Georgiana are 5 years old.

Therefore, the plot in the book may be several years in advance.
