[Pride and Prejudice] A Gentleman's Love

Elizabeth and the others didn't spend much time, because Lydia had really been fascinated by that Mr. Wickham.She hustles everyone.

Mary hadn't wanted to go at first.She had always had a dislike for the officer, but Lydia insisted that her absence would instead draw the spotlight.

"You did it on purpose, to make Mr. Wickham curious about you!" cried Lydia, and Mary retorted angrily.

"Don't think everyone is as stupid as you are."

"Well, girls, don't quarrel with me!" Mrs. Bennet scolded, "Mary, you must go, don't stay in the house all the time, books can't be your companions, and will provide you with a safe haven in the future." of."

Mary wanted to rebut, but Mrs. Bennet, determined not to let her refuse, gave her the harshest stare.

Elizabeth smiled and went up to make a rescue.

"Go, Mary, and don't forget how glad Aunt and Uncle were to see us last time."

"Okay, Lizzy." Mary compromised, and Elizabeth held her hand until she reached her aunt's house.

"Oh, dear, look at how beautiful you are today. I guarantee that Mr. Wickham will take a fancy to one of you." Aunt Philip looked at the girls in front of her and exaggeratedly praised.In fact, except for Lydia and Catherine, the other three were just wearing ordinary clothes with some decorations, but they were no different from usual.

"It must be me, Aunt!" said Lydia, and Aunt Philip laughed, kissed the little girl kindly on the cheek, and said she was right.

Aunt Philip's compliment was evidently appreciated by Lydia, who smiled merrily, and then forgot even her original irritation at Mary.

They sat for about a quarter of an hour, and then, led by Elizabeth and their fat uncle, the officers came.There are three of them in total, besides Mr. Wickham, who has attracted much attention, the outdated Mr. Danny and an officer of medium height.

Elizabeth didn't bother to write down the other person's name, she followed everyone's address, but quickly erased the traces in her heart.Because obviously, except for Mr. Wickham who gave her a good feeling, the other two always seemed a little too "talkative".

They had an exquisite lunch together. After the meal, the men started to play cards. After two rounds, Lydia complained that she was bored. She suggested breaking up the table. Don't always play with men and women, women and women Play.

Mr. Denny and the officer quickly agreed.Because everyone present knew what Lydia really thought, and they were happy to do so.

Mr. Wickham was pushed into Lydia's table, and Mary's with her uncle.Elizabeth can't play cards, but it's hard to leave, so she can barely sit and watch.

She looked a little lazy. Apart from the fact that she was not interested in playing cards, more importantly, her mind was still in the morning, but she didn't know that in the eyes of some people, this kind of carelessness seemed to give birth to something different. The style is here.

"Miss Elizabeth, don't you want to play?"

Elizabeth froze for a moment, then smiled and said to Mr. Wickham, "I won't."

"That's a pity." The man said warmly, Elizabeth smiled and said nothing.

Lydia is clearly a fun-loving girl.She was very lucky today, so she gradually shifted her mind from Mr. Wickham to the poker table, so when Mr. Wickham proposed to give Jane the seat and he took a rest, Lydia did not propose be opposed to.

Elizabeth had decided not to force herself 10 minutes ago, but found a book and read it on the sofa.She wasn't fascinated by the look, so she quickly looked up when the man came over.

"Aren't you playing?"

"Oh, a little tired. Do you like to read, Miss Elizabeth."

"Yes." Elizabeth nodded.She did not intend to strike up a conversation with the popular young officer, and this seemed so out of character with Wickham's usual treatment that he wished all the more for his attention.

"What book are you reading?"

Elizabeth said the title, and then she saw Mr. Wickham smile, showing his perfectly aligned teeth, which, it must be said, made him look very attractive.

"I loved it so much when I was younger."

Elizabeth smiled: "You are very young now, Mr. Wickham."

"I haven't been young since I joined the army, Miss Elizabeth."

Elizabeth was amused, while Wickham curled his lips.He thought he had successfully attracted the girl's attention, so he was more open-minded, trying to use all means to win Elizabeth's favor.

Obviously he's doing well.After all, he has a good-looking face, and his attitude is between self-confidence and humility.

Elizabeth had almost taken a liking to the young officer by the end.He is different from other officers, he has a lot of knowledge, instead of repeating and showing off the jokes all the time, but after he was called away by Lydia and the others, she felt that something was wrong, or what the other party was doing Talk to her all the time.

She guessed in her heart, but she couldn't avoid thinking about whether Mr. Wickham had taken a fancy to her.But she felt that there seemed to be no reason for this.In terms of appearance, she is not the most outstanding one among the sisters, and in terms of personality, she is not as sweet and lovely as Lydia. Even though she sometimes goes too far, men always prefer her.

When she was thinking about this, she seemed to have subconsciously forgotten why she would doubt anyone who showed courteousness to her, but never doubted that person.

"Forget it, don't think about it." Elizabeth said to herself, she has no more thoughts for others at the moment.

Their half-day at Aunt Philip's was a pleasant one, even for Mary.When they came out, Aunt Philip held them at the door to talk again, and there was a delay.And at this moment, Mr. Darcy rode over.

He caught a glimpse of Elizabeth from a distance, but as he got closer, he spotted someone else too.

Elizabeth's heart almost skipped a beat when she saw Mr. Darcy.But after Mr. Darcy approached, she clearly saw a trace of surprise and a little anger on his face.

She followed the other party's line of sight, but saw that Mr. Wickham's face was calm as usual.Of course, Mr. Wickham also noticed Darcy at first, and his expression was very unnatural.But when Elizabeth saw him, he used all his concentration to pretend to be natural, so Elizabeth couldn't help feeling strange in her heart.

When she wanted to look at Mr. Darcy again, the man had already left, and Catherine next to her muttered in a low voice, what an arrogant gentleman.But Elizabeth refuted in her heart.

"No, he is a noble gentleman."
