[Pride and Prejudice] A Gentleman's Love

"It's kind of stupid. Blind trust always leads to an unhappy marriage." Mary said with a frown.

"This is the rare word I agree with Mary." Lydia rolled her eyes, "You look like a little fool now."

"I said you little girls, do you dislike your second brother-in-law that much?" Mrs. Bennet said with her hands on her hips, and Catherine's eyes widened.

"My God, mother, don't you forget that you said yourself that he was a very arrogant person."

"But honey, he has more than 1 pounds a year, and he looks quite handsome. Most importantly, Lizzy likes him." Mrs. There was a lot of good in the man, and she found that when Darcy proposed to her daughter, there was a lot of good in him. .

"I can't imagine how long I'll have to wait until I hear her nod to marry after rejecting Mr. Collins, after she's completely disinclined to be with Mr. Bingley's rich friends." Mrs. Bennett Said angrily.

"Oh, mother, you're so powerful!" exclaimed Lydia, and Mrs. Bennet gave her a stare.

"You have to be aware of your situation. Although your father is a gentleman, our family is not poor, but if your father has a good or bad, there will be no place for us in this family. This place will become Collins, you and me Daughters, there will be no shelter!"

"Come on, my good wife, don't tell the girls that," said Mr. Bennet, who had been watching them.He took off his glasses, a pair of intelligent eyes stayed on his wife's face for a while, and then looked completely at his second daughter.

"Come here, Lizzy dear."

"Okay, Dad." Elizabeth replied with a smile, and she walked to her father and sat with Jane on either side of him.

These are the two girls he likes the most, nothing else, it's all because they have inherited a gene called sobriety in their brains.

"Tell me why, dear."

Elizabeth nodded with a sweet smile on her lips.

"Father, to be honest, I did think he was an arrogant person like everyone else. To be honest, Mr. Darcy is not a very easy person to get along with at all. He is noble but not soft-spoken enough. People who see him can’t always feel good about him. However, I later found out that this is also a rare quality.”

"He is rational and upright. He doesn't hide anything about his advantages or disadvantages. I don't think I am a perfect person, but I can't be as frank as he is. Similarly, Mr. Darcy is not a perfect person, But he was very frank with me, he was strict, but he never hesitated to reflect on his occasional mistakes that could not be avoided."

The young girl blinked her eyes slowly, and after that, her speaking speed tended to be more tender and gentle.

"I love him simply because I can see myself in his eyes, and I can be who I want to be. I can't imagine that this feeling can be felt in anyone other than him, so , I trust him, and I am willing to respond to him and marry him."

Mr. Bennet watched his daughter carefully and carefully, and he didn't relax until he was sure that there was no slightest reluctance in her smile and expression.

"Promise me you will be happy, daughter."

"Yes, Dad, I can assure you."

Mr. Bennet smiled, and embraced his daughter.

"Then, my dear, I cannot think of any reason which should prevent you from marrying that gentleman."

"Thank you, Dad."

Lydia still stared and sighed, "My God, even my father agrees, I really can't imagine."

Mrs. Bennet gave her little daughter a look of disapproval, and then she hugged her own daughter in the same way, and kissed her on the cheek.

"I'm so glad, Lizzy dear, I thought I'd have to worry about your marriage."

"You don't need it now, mother." Elizabeth laughed.

Although Lydia still thinks this is a bit unbelievable, it can't stop the whole family from being happy about it.

After the Bennet family received a visiting letter from Mr. Darcy, Charlotte's wedding is coming soon.

It was a sunny day.Originally, it should be rainy in the south near winter, but today is a rare good weather.Mrs. Lucas was even more happy about this, thinking it was God's will.

Elizabeth is Charlotte's maid of honor, and they are waiting in the room at this moment.

"You look beautiful today." Elizabeth said with a smile.Although the marriage may not have been as satisfactory to them girls, the bride is always extremely beautiful when she is married.

"Thank you, Eliza."

Elizabeth got up and fixed the wreath for her, and gave her a kiss full of blessing.

"After I heard that Mr. Darcy proposed to you, to be honest, I was not very surprised." Charlotte said, her expression was calm but still with a hint of wisdom as usual.

"Why?" Elizabeth was a little curious. To be honest, almost everyone was surprised by this.After all, it was Mr. Darcy.

"Because if you observe carefully, you will find that Mr. Darcy's eyes are fixed on you almost all the time, as if you are the light in the dark, attracting his attention."

Elizabeth blinked her eyes and said with a smile: "Honey, I feel a little strange when you describe him like this."

"Just watch, dear Eliza, I can see that he really loves you!" exclaimed Charlotte.

Elizabeth looked down and thought for a while.It is true that she will not doubt Mr. Darcy's feelings for her at all, but the constant attention?It's not like him.

If there is something in that person's eyes all the time, she thinks, maybe there will be nothing else besides the nose that is habitually ignored by people.Such a proud Mr. Darcy, has been watching her?

Thinking of this, Elizabeth could not help being completely curious.

After the wedding begins, the bride and groom enter the venue.Elizabeth passed by Mr. Darcy as a bridesmaid. He was standing with Mr. Bingley and the others. He was wearing a well-fitting rounded suit. Unlike other men who liked to use some hairspray, Mr. Darcy's hair was still fluffy as usual. Those asphalt-colored strands of hair stayed where they belonged obediently and docilely, just like their owner, carefully and cautiously examining every corner.

Has he been looking at me?thought Elizabeth.

At the first part of the wedding, when the priest asked the couple if they were willing to each other, when the syllable was rolled up on the tip of her tongue and was about to be revealed in the air, she raised her head and looked at the tall man across the crowd. , Then, slightly startled, then laughed.

Across the crowd, it was like a link in the starry sky, but those blue eyes were indeed looking at her.So focused, as if at this moment, he was the one being questioned by the priest.

The bride faced the crowd, her face was ruddy under the sun.Holding the bouquet with her slender fingers, her eyes wandered among the crowd.

Everyone was jostling, shouting, excitedly longing for Lady Luck to stand at their feet and bless them.

The man's lips were pursed, and his eyebrows were slightly frowned, because he saw that the young girl with dark eyes was standing there in a daze.

"one two Three……"

The bride shouted, and the crowd moved with her.

Elizabeth didn't know it, her eyes only saw the man who was approaching her quickly.He was tall and strong, his eyebrows were slightly twisted for some reason, and he looked eager.Those powerful arms even pushed aside the crowd who were in the midst of the uproar with some rudeness.

Just when she blinked, he stood in front of her like this, holding her hand like magic, just when she was accidentally pushed and looked like she was about to fall, He supported her with his strong arm, blocked most of the hands for her, and led her to the back of the crowd.

"I see you looking at me."

"What?" Mr. Darcy still frowned, as if he didn't understand her sudden question.

There was a big smile on the corner of the girl's mouth, and a pair of dark eyes almost sparkled.She can't think of anything at the moment, the only thing is that she is sure that she loves the other party, and that she completely believes that she is loved, loved by this man named Fitzwilliam Darcy.

So, she smiled, stretched out her hands and grabbed the sides of the other's suit, she stood on tiptoe, and kissed the corner of the other's mouth boldly and happily in front of everyone.

The white and pink bouquets were thrown high, drawing a bright silver arc in the air where the gauze was bound.

The bouquet did not fly into her arms as in the novel. To be honest, she should know who that familiar scream was, but at this moment, she could only slightly look up at the person in front of her. Other than that, I can't think of anything else.

Only a few people saw her audacity, but she didn't care.

Elizabeth only knew that she loved the man in front of her, and she had to tell him that she loved him.

"I love you, Mr. Darcy, much, much love."

Now, it was his turn to be slightly dazed.The temperature and touch from the lips seemed to be nostalgic and never left.

In front of his eyes was the happy smiling face of this beautiful girl.

bright as spring,

clear as running water,

Sweet and intoxicating like honey.

What is the world like?For the first time, Mr. Darcy's brain surrounded by reason stopped thinking, his eyes, his brain, his heart, all the place was filled with only a girl named Elizabeth, the girl he loved, who had nothing to do with him. Doubt, 100% confirmation, and happiness.

"I love you, Elisa." He said in a low voice. In her opinion, a smile is like all the beautiful things in the world.

☆, Section 4.04

The wedding is coming to an end.Both Mr. Darcy and Mr. Bingley were invited by Mr. and Mrs. Lucas. As people of Netherfield Garden, they played a pivotal role in this town in terms of status and status.The Lucass were naturally happy to allow them to be present and present at their daughter's wedding.Mrs. Bennet dismissed it, of course, her daughter had better ones now.

Elizabeth and Jane were walking around, then Miss Bingley in an elegant dress blocked her way.

"What can you do, Miss Bingley?"

Miss Bingley did not answer Elizabeth's question directly, but first turned her face slightly to Jane, and said, "I would like to have a few words with your sister, Miss Elizabeth Bennet, alone."

Jane looked at Elizabeth, asking for her opinion, and Elizabeth smiled and nodded.

After Jane left, Elizabeth and Miss Bingley went a little further, to a somewhat more secluded place.

"Now you can talk." Elizabeth gestured.Miss Bingley looked at her, and it seemed from her haughty air that Elizabeth knew what she was going to say hardly without being asked.

"I still can't believe that you stole him from my sight like this," began Miss Bingley, her voice flat, but with a look of contempt that never changed.

Elizabeth was not angry.She knew that if she got angry, she would let Miss Bingley win.After all, she has always used the theory of being a gentleman to flaunt herself.

"In my opinion, Mr. Darcy is completely a person with autonomous consciousness, not an object that can be easily moved by others, not to mention that you used the subordinate verb 'to steal'."

Miss Bingley's face was sullen, but she restrained herself as best she could.

She was certainly not the kind of rude person she herself detested most.So after knowing that the matter was irreversible, she didn't yell, she just acted like a smart person and at least told the lady who was not a lady in front of her what she knew, even if it added some obstacles to their frank love It was also what she was happy to see.

"I suppose you know Mr. Darcy's aunt. The noble Lady Catherine de Bourgh. She's a gentleman. I think you would know, even if you were only a country girl, for people of high birth." Honor is above all else.”

"I'm a gentleman's daughter, and I don't think I'm inferior." Elizabeth said calmly, and Miss Bingley showed a mocking look.

"Dear Miss Elizabeth Bennet, this is not a play on words. Even if you were a gentleman's daughter, you would be quite unsuitable for Mr. Darcy. You will have no dowry, even if you have a pretty face. You can’t hide this disadvantage, not to mention the education you have received since childhood. The difference between a pheasant and a peacock is not just based on the claws.”

"That's right, Miss Bingley." Elizabeth curled her lips into a slight smile, her chin was slightly raised, and she had an unashamed bearing.

"But don't forget that the difference between a pheasant and a peacock is that they are not of the same kind, and a swan is still a swan even if she is not hatched in a golden nest."

Seeing that a layer of embarrassing red appeared on Miss Bingley's face, Elizabeth accepted it as soon as she saw it, took her leave gracefully and left.

"Miss Bingley didn't say anything bad to you, did she?" Jane came up and asked.

"Don't worry, Jane, she is neither my relative nor my friend, so no matter what she says, she won't be able to hurt me." Elizabeth said with a smile, and Jane was relieved when she saw that there was no reluctance in her expression.

Elizabeth stood in one place, and she looked at another person from a distance across the crowd.The sun shines on her fair cheeks through the gaps in the leaves.

There was a smile on the corner of her mouth, as she said - since she loved him and chose him, unless the two of them were shaken by this relationship with each other, others would always be just others.

The day after Charlotte's wedding ended, Mr. Darcy officially came to propose marriage to the Bennet family.

Elizabeth got up early in the morning. She picked out a good-looking dress, which would not be too grand, but would not be rude.

"Nervous?" Jane asked.

Elizabeth smiled and nodded.She was indeed a little nervous.It seems to be an instinct, and has nothing to do with rationality or strength.

The weather outside the window was not as good as yesterday, but it was still a sunny day.Mr. Darcy arrived at the Bennett's house punctually.With him came Mr. Bingley, who was by now an acquaintance in the Bennets' house.He had grown up since his engagement to Jane, and Mrs. Bennet had always been extremely fond of him.

"Good day." The two young people greeted the big family. Except for the two parents and Elizabeth and Jane, the remaining three sisters looked at today's hero with critical eyes.

This Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy was, it is true, very handsome.Lydia thought to herself.He is wearing a camel-colored rounded-corner suit jacket today, with a frosted texture, which makes him tall and stable, and the pair of bright leather gloves are a little more luxurious. If it is only about the appearance, Mr. Darcy can Not even the handsome Mr. Bingley could compare to him as a man of the highest rank.But as long as she thought of what he had done to poor Mr. Wickham, Lydia still had a deep dislike for the haughty gentleman, and naturally she did not smile at him.

Darcy is a man of observation.He is cautious by nature, and rarely speaks or says anything at the first time. Every time he goes to a place, he is used to observing his surroundings and the people next to him.

He can feel other people's love or kindness for him, and of course he can also detect those expressions of dislike. After all, generally speaking, he gets more expressions of dislike, not to mention that he also understands the expression of the tall man in front of him. The little girl was very close to Wickham.

Darcy knew Wickham perfectly.He has a beautiful face and a pleasing mouth, he is naturally good at this, if he can use this ability in other places, I am afraid that he will not look down on him so much.

"Come and sit, young people, come to the sofa." Mrs. Bennet greeted, she also dressed up today, and the smile on her face could hardly be hidden.

Ever since she learned that the handsome gentleman in front of her had love for her daughter, and had fallen in love with her completely, and proposed to her, she could no longer pick out the slightest flaw from him.

"Thank you, Mrs. Bennet," said Darcy reservedly.He is here to propose today, so naturally he has to behave well, even though he has always been uncomfortable with this kind of excessive enthusiasm, he still has to be patient, fortunately, since the last time he came with his friend Bentley, he found that The patriarch of the family, Mr. Bennett, was a very sensible and rather funny man.

It is naturally inconvenient for the girls to sit here directly, at least they have to talk to their father before it is their turn, so right now, they are waiting in the side hall.

"Don't talk nonsense to me." Mrs. Bennet came in with her fat body twisted. She warned her little daughters, especially poking Lydia on the shoulder.

"I never talk nonsense," Lydia complained.

"But you didn't say anything meaningful either." Mary taunted her, and Lydia glared back at her.

"Okay, girls, today's protagonist is not you two, be good to me, this is related to Lizzy's happiness." Mrs. Bennet clapped her hands and said, "You must know that such a good son-in-law is like a pie in the sky. Even more rare, oh, much stronger than that Mr. Collins, at least ten thousand times stronger."

Mrs. Bennet looked completely complacent. Elizabeth and Jane looked at each other helplessly, and then she said to her mother: "Mom, why don't you ask the servant to bring the tea?"

"Oh, my God, yes, I've got to hurry, there's always an opportunity to be lazy when I'm not watching them," Mrs. Bennet complained, walking quickly into the kitchen.

"Sometimes I can't stand my mother. She is always so materialistic. Can money buy true love?" Lydia complained innocently, and Elizabeth laughed.

"What are you laughing at, Lizzy?" Lydia glared at her.She thought she was very smart since she was a child, but the people around her didn't think so.

"True love can't eat if you've been without bread for a long time, my dear Lydia."

"You are so vulgar, Lizzy, just like your mother." Lydia looked at Elizabeth with a look of disgust. Except for Catherine, no one agreed with her this time.

"It's not vulgarity, it's reality." Mary rolled her eyes and said.

"Because you don't have to work in the fields, that's why you are like a stupid king who asks why people don't eat meat when people tell him that the people can't afford bread."

Although Lydia is not smart enough, it doesn't mean she can't hear the naked irony in Mary's words.She glared at him angrily.

"It seems that if you read a lot of books, you know a lot of truths. Don't you need to marry? Be sober, Mary, all a woman needs to do is to have a good-looking face and tell some funny jokes. Even the old man is not willing to listen to the truth."

Mary got angry, her thin lips were pursed, and she looked like she was about to fire at the target lady like a machine gun.Jane and Elizabeth hurried to break up the fight.

"Don't quarrel now, good girls, don't forget that there are guests over there." Jane took Mary's hand, and Elizabeth also walked over to embrace Lydia.

"Well, I'm always more sensible." Mary snorted softly, and Lydia gave her another hard look, and looked at Elizabeth angrily.

"You know, Lizzy, I stopped talking not because I couldn't quarrel with her, or because I didn't respond, but because I was too magnanimous."

Mary moved her lips, and Jane quickly covered her mouth.If these two little sisters quarrel, it is estimated that today's good day will be unhappy.

"Look, Dad let us go," Catherine reminded.She had always been on Lydia's side, but it was clear that Mary was not to be trifled with in this family.She had always been an independent person, and now she felt relieved to see Papa's gesture of letting them go, as if she was amnestied.

The girls all got up, and the long skirts were dragging on the carpet. Even though a few men often saw this scene, they still had to sigh every time they saw it.

Elizabeth sat down beside Mr. Bennet.She is his favorite daughter and the protagonist of today.

Mr. Bennet patted his daughter's arm, then looked at the two gentlemen with a smile, and finally landed on the face of the dark-haired man.

"Mr. Darcy. I have already understood your love for my daughter and your desire to marry her, and my daughter is also willing. Therefore, I fully approve of your marriage. But in this family, I've always been an open-minded person. Whatever decision I make, I'm most interested in making everyone happy."

Darcy paused when he saw the funny old gentleman in front of him, his wise eyes curved into a shrewd arc.He hinted that this Mr. Bennet could not have agreed to his marriage proposal so easily, so his previous conjecture was indeed verified in his next words.

☆, Section 4.04

"Certainly, Mr. Harnett."

So in the following time, Elizabeth was rarely at home.Mrs. Bennet was very unhappy about this. She felt that since Mr. Darcy was obviously not a good man, Elizabeth herself should work harder. After all, Jane and Mr. Bingley seemed to be doing very well.

"Mom, let me tell you, that Mr. Harnett is actually pretty good, he's quite young, and he seems to be single!" Lydia said while playing with her braids. She is a big show, so instead of pampering herself every day, now she has a little more time to care about her sister.

"That's not right, absolutely not, he looks too queer." Mrs. Bennet shook her head.

When that Mr. Harnett just moved in, Mrs. Bennett and some other wives who had girls who were still to be married went there to have a look and gave something, but that Mr. Harnett did not. Not very enthusiastic.

He looks quite young, good-looking, refined and elegant, but he is out of tune with this small town.

Mr. Harnett is not close to anyone, and Mrs. Bennett’s information about the former is completely dug out from her husband’s mouth, because Mr. Bennett is also a book lover, but after some observation, Mrs. Bennet still thought that Mr. Harnett was not suitable for her daughter, not anyone, and at that time she had thought of introducing Jane to him.But it turns out how wise her decision was.

Now, Jane and Mr. Bingley were very hot.The latter is younger and handsomer, with a lot of money, and most importantly, he looks like a good guy, honest, kind and warm, as if he was born to integrate into this town.Mrs. Bennet, for this reason, has completely crossed Mr. Harnett, who owns a small library, from the do-it-yourself list.

"He doesn't blame him. Even if you think about it, I don't see Mr. Harnett taking a fancy to our daughter." Mr. Bennet came from the bedroom with a book in his arms, and then added, "Lizzy would rather There's still hope."

"Mr. Bennett!"

"father!"

Offended by both wife and daughter, Mr. Bennet shook his head and left the living room.

In the library, today is the fourth day, and the books are almost sorted out.Today, Mr. Harnett is going to the next town to buy goods. Apart from some hard-to-collect books, there are flour and some ingredients, so only Elizabeth is left in the library.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

After a few days together, Mr. Harnett felt at ease with the little girl.So he nodded, said trouble, and set off with his nephew Gerald.

Elizabeth wiped down the counter again.She had washed the vase, and had reselected some beautiful flowers, which she was adorning, until at last only the choice of ribbon remained.

Whether it was purple or sky blue, Elizabeth struggled for a while. At this time, a slightly deep voice sounded.

"sky blue."

Elizabeth looked up in surprise.

The afternoon sun fell on the door, and the slightly taller man blocked some of the light, only the black hair looked like it had been dyed a layer of gold.

"Mr. Darcy, what do you want to do here?" Elizabeth smiled slightly.

"And you, Miss."

Mr. Darcy came in, stronger than Mr. Harnett's lean Mr. Darcy, and a little taller than the stocky Gerald.So, when he stood in front of Elizabeth, in this small library, the latter felt a little awkward.

"Can't you always answer my questions first?"

The young man looked at her for a moment, then made a gentlemanly apology.

"Well, miss, my fault."

Elizabeth was taken aback, she knew she was staring now, but she couldn't help it.Because this is so weird, did this arrogant gentleman really take the wrong medicine?

Mr. Darcy straightened up. Because of the height difference, he had to look down at Elizabeth. Of course, this time, there was no irony implied. It turns out that this Mr. Darcy can behave as long as he needs Excellent and very gentleman.

"I heard that there are many rich collections of books here, so I came here, and then I saw you." Mr. Darcy said casually, looking around the room.

"why?"

Elizabeth is not a person who can hide words in her heart, so once she has something she doesn't understand, she will speak out, unless the situation at the time tells her that it would be very inappropriate to speak out.

"What?" Mr. Darcy withdrew his gaze, then looked at her.

"I mean," Elizabeth paused, "Why did you apologize to me so easily and answer my question so frankly?"

The young man looked at her for a while, and finally said, "I didn't expect this to confuse you."

If someone talked to Elizabeth like this an hour ago, she might feel that the other party was arrogant and conceited, but now, after seeing everything Mr. Darcy did and his expression, she just wanted to know the reason urgently.

Mr. Darcy's voice was low, but there was always a high-society haughtiness in his tone, which they never concealed, of course.

"Honestly, ma'am, I don't think there's anything wrong with what I said earlier. Proms aren't fun, casual pick-ups and sex are a bit vulgar, and I think you're arrogant, and so far I don't Nothing much has changed."

Elizabeth was not annoyed, but just showed a brisk smile to signal the other party to continue.

"But what you said at the ball, I think you may not be a superficial lady. Like, for money, to meet the opposite sex, or, because some impulsive feeling keeps your mind in a stupid state. And Just now, I have seen everything you do, and you are a contented person in this place that is a bit boring to ordinary people," Mr. Darcy paused, his slender fingers scrubbing the wooden texture on the counter Then, he raised his eyes to look at Elizabeth, his expression was light and showing a kind of rebelliousness.

"And people are usually not satisfied. For this, I think, you deserve my respect."

"Should I thank you for your respect?" Elizabeth asked with a smile, she didn't look angry, but the young man just looked at her, and then said lightly, with some arrogance.

"Why not, miss."

"Well, Mr. Darcy, I have to say, whether you are intentional or not, you are really a gentleman now, and maybe I should also apologize to you for some of my previous inappropriate words."

Elizabeth looked up at the gentleman in front of her, then showed a sincere smile, and spoke in a brisk tone.

"I am very grateful for your respect for me, but I don't intend to take back my words. You are indeed not a complete gentleman. At least you shouldn't ask me to thank you after you said these words. That is really enough Arrogant and arrogant!"

Elizabeth saw that the man was not angry. On the contrary, he just stared at her intently, as if he was examining something seriously. He looked serious, and he was a little, um, charismatic.

This is really strange.thought Elizabeth.How can a person like him when he doesn't like him because of his shortcomings?

At any rate, after what had been said, Elizabeth found herself quite fond of Mr. Darcy.At least, like a normal friend.Because although he is arrogant, he is not stupid, and although he speaks a little harshly, he is honest enough.

"Then miss, does this count as our reconciliation?"

"If you insist that we were quarreling," said Elizabeth in a drawn-out tone, and then she saw Mr. Darcy smile slightly.The smile was not clear, but Elizabeth just felt that he did look very happy.

"It was a pleasure talking to you."

Look, Elizabeth never met such a frank person.Whether he hates it or dislikes it, he doesn't care about what other people think at all, or this is some transparent social rules set for human beings, but, on the contrary, he is not stingy with what he likes and makes him feel happy will express to people.

The corners of Elizabeth's mouth were slightly raised, and her slender neck was still raised high, like a swan.

"Me too, Mr. Darcy, it has been a pleasure talking to you."

Mr. Darcy nodded slightly. Obviously, his superior background made him unable to erase some good upbringing in his bones even though he was criticized for being arrogant.

"Since we have been honest with each other, will you accept my invitation to the next ball?"

"It's an honor." Elizabeth gracefully raised her skirt at the counter. Even though the other party couldn't see it, she just felt that it was enough to respect him, and likewise, she respected herself.

Elizabeth straightened her body, looked at Mr. Darcy in front of her, and asked, "So would you like to sit down and read a book today?"

"No, I don't need it today." Mr. Darcy thanked him, and Elizabeth watched him leave with a smile, but just after the man turned around and took two steps, he turned back again.

"Is there anything else you want?" Elizabeth asked.

"I just almost forgot one thing."

"what?"

"Your book, which was left by the lake last time, I think it belongs to you."

Elizabeth's eyes widened slightly, and she almost blurted out "So you are the duck who stole the book".

"Yes, I borrowed it from this library."

☆, Section 4.04

Mr. Darcy and Mr. Bingley left after supper.After they left, Mrs. Bennet couldn't help hugging her second daughter.

"Oh, my dear Lizzy, you've found a good home too!"

Elizabeth didn't know whether to cry or laugh, facing her mother who was always happy, she finally hugged her gently back.

"Thank you, Mom." Maybe Mrs. Bennet is not the kind of smart mother, and she is even a bit reckless and careless, but no
