[Pride and Prejudice] A Gentleman's Love
Chapter 24
The expression Mr. Darcy looked at Mr. Wickham that day obviously had something hidden behind it, but Elizabeth didn't want to ask it rashly, but she didn't expect that before she took the initiative to ask about this matter, the person involved would be quite serious. Some eagerly talked to her.
Here's the thing.After returning home that day, Elizabeth could not help but maintain a natural look about what happened that day. Her slightly tired appearance made Jane ask her with concern when she fell asleep.
Elizabeth liked the girl.She was very sincere to her, and she told her almost everything except the most secret thing, and when she questioned her, she hesitated to tell Jane only.
"You won't tell anyone, will you?"
"Yes, I won't."
Jane hugged her gently, and then said softly: "I don't understand why you refused him, but I think you respect and love him very much. You never treat others like this, even that Wickham So does sir. Lydia is so crazy about him, but he loves talking to you."
"You're right. Of course I respect and love him. I have no secrets with you. You are a kind and gentle person, Jane. I am always willing to tell you what is in my heart." Elizabeth said, looking at the other party , the blond girl shook her hand, encouraging her to continue.
"I always thought he was a haughty man at first, but soon I came to admire his character. He was indeed a man of high conduct, and, if nothing else, the most handsome man in the world. A man who suits me. But I cannot disregard these. He is a gentleman, has a sister and relations, and from what our cousin Mr. Collins has said, that Lady Catherine cannot help being a difficult person. , despite his repeated flattery, we all know what she is most likely to be, like Miss Bingley."
Elizabeth paused for a moment. She knew that Jane was a kind person, but if a mortal had an advantage, she would ignore his shortcomings.So she spoke quickly again and told her what was on her mind.
"I know you want to tell me that Miss Bingley is not a bad person, she has many other good things. But Jane, we also have to face up to her arrogance, and, if you and Mr. Bingley end up married, you will have to face things."
"Lizzy..."
"Jane." Elizabeth interrupted gently.She has always disliked interfering with others, because most of the time, people are always prone to stubbornness, and you cannot easily shake other people's opinions. You are not God, and you can predict all accidents.But people are so strange, they can't completely harden and numb their hearts, and sometimes they can't help doing stupid things.But as long as she is willing, it seems that she can't clearly judge right from wrong.
"This is something you need to face up to. They do exist." Elizabeth showed a faint smile, and she took a little strength to shake her sister's hand back.
"I know you love that gentleman, and though you don't act as passionately as the others, you love him and he loves you. I am sure of that, and am very happy to see you. So I Wishing you all the best and always wishing you the best.”
"If I can, so can you, my dear Lizzy. Although Mr. Bingley is not as rich as Mr. Darcy, and they are very different, I can see that Mr. Darcy is not the kind to be led around." The nose went away." Jane said boldly, considering her smooth temperament, it could almost be called an extremely bold statement.
Elizabeth froze for a moment, then smiled.
"I am sincerely grateful to you, Jane. But we are different. I don't have your good temper, you are gentle and decent, you always treat people from the best point of view, Jane, you don't know how good you are. Unless the person is really bad, you are always reluctant to criticize them. I can't. I am arrogant and can hardly bear to be wronged. I can't tolerate others like you. If I am provoked, I may fight back. Will use the meanest remarks to ridicule others, and I know how hurtful it will be. Relatives and lovers, maybe he will be willing to accommodate me for a while, but after a long time, I don’t think so.”
Jane stopped talking.It wasn't that she didn't want to say anything, but when she heard Elizabeth's words, they were novel and bold, beyond the teachings she had always received.Women have always been taught to find a rich man, especially for them, who have a certain reputation but no wealth.
In her opinion, or in the eyes of all, Mr. Darcy was an excellent match.Although people have always said that he is arrogant and difficult to get along with, Jane is sure that if he takes a fancy to the daughter of a family, then that family will change their words quickly and continue to explore his strengths.But her sister Elizabeth never thought so.
"I think you really like him, my dear." Jane said softly, Elizabeth listened, and rarely refuted.
"I haven't read as much as you and Mary, but I wish I could share my thoughts, and it would be best if it helped you, and if not, it's just to let you know, Just as you want me to be happy, so do I."
"You can always talk to me. You can even teach me, Jane." Elizabeth didn't think that reading too much made her smart. If she didn't have a tolerant heart, then no matter how smart she was, she would only hurt others. Without knowing it.
"You've always been a proud girl. So was that Mr. Darcy. This time you've turned her down, Lizzy, and I don't think he'll set his sights on you again."
"Yes." Elizabeth said softly.
"He's also a proud man. I know what I rejected. If he couldn't let it go like everyone else, I would feel relieved, or rather, not so guilty. I know it's a bit selfish. I also know it's not his. Intended. He is such a proud person, so I always feel that no matter what I do, it is bad."
"Don't say that about yourself, honey."
"You love me, of course you are on my side." Elizabeth smiled, and she raised her fingers to lick the hair on her cheeks. In fact, she really thought about it for a moment, if it was in her original place , then, to meet him must be extremely happy.
Meeting the right person at the wrong time is indeed heartbreaking.
Elizabeth was a little lost in her own thoughts, so when Jane said that sentence, she slowly asked the other party to repeat it again.
"I mean, you see too clearly, Lizzy, and sometimes it's good, but sometimes, it's just another layer of bondage for you."
Elizabeth blinked slowly, she didn't understand what Jane meant.
"I mean, maybe you can try not to think about it so much. You need to trust people a little more, honey."
trust.Elizabeth chewed on the word.She knew Jane was right.Her unsatisfactory family in her previous life made it impossible for her to fully trust a certain person.Her biological mother is a typical strong woman. When she was young, she married an ordinary father. Although they divorced later, she knew when she grew up that if she was able to support the marriage of two people with disparity in status, there must be love. of.But time will always reveal more disadvantages of this kind of behavior, and for this reason, she always has a sense of distrust in her heart.
"I can't afford to bet, Jane," was her answer at last, and Jane said no more.
The next day, Elizabeth decided to go to the Little Bear Library to visit Mr. Harnett and the others. Mr. Harnett did not go to the last dance, but she never saw him again.It's just that Elizabeth didn't expect that she would meet Mr. Wickham in the Little Bear Library, and even hear those words that were completely different from what she knew.

"If I can, so can you, my dear Lizzy. Although Mr. Bingley is not as rich as Mr. Darcy, and they are very different, I can see that Mr. Darcy is not the kind to be led around." The nose went away."
