In fact, there are no American brown bears, and what comes down from the stairs is a walking pile of tall books.

"boom--"

The dust rose, Elizabeth coughed a few times, and then heard a voice as bright as California sunshine.

"Sorry ma'am, are you all right?"

Elizabeth looked at the tall gentleman in front of her and blinked.

"I am well, sir, but who are you?"

The big blond man with puffy hair and a cute smile.

"The owner of the bookstore here is my little uncle, and I am his nephew. My name is Gerald Butler, and you can call me Jenny."

Looking at the muscular Chinese paper in front of her, Elizabeth sighed, that Mr. Harnett is really young.

"What can you do with my uncle?" asked Mr. Gerald curiously.Only then did Elizabeth remember her purpose of coming here, and she blushed in embarrassment.

"I, I'm sorry, but I've lost the book I borrowed from Mr. Hartnett."

"Oh, that's really bad news." Mr. Gerald scratched his cheek, showing a sympathetic look.

"My little uncle loves books very much. Last time I broke one of his books, he fined me for three days of confinement."

Elizabeth's eyes widened. She originally thought that an apology plus compensation should be enough, but it seems that Mr. Harnett is indeed a book lover.

"That's because there are only three copies of the things you broke in the world." A voice rang out.Elizabeth turned around and looked. She was wearing a decent suit and holding a big paper bag in her hand. Needless to say, she knew that there were some precious books in it.

"Ah, you heard it all, Mr. Harnett, I'm really sorry." Elizabeth's face flushed, and she was also a book lover, so she naturally knew how she felt.

"I will compensate you, even triple the price."

Good-natured Mr. Harnett shook his head, and Mr. Gerald went over, picked up everything in one hand and set it down on the counter.

"It's okay, Miss Elizabeth, don't blame yourself so much."

"Please let me do something to make it up, Mr. Harnett."

The man in the round glasses took one look at her and finally nodded.

"Well, Miss Elizabeth, I think you can be of help."

Elizabeth smiled, feeling that this seemingly indifferent gentleman is actually a really nice person.After all, it was her fault for losing the book, and Mr. Hartnett needn't have promised her a little help just to make her feel any less guilty.

"If you have time, I hope you can sort out some old books on the second floor with us in the next few days."

"Certainly, Mr. Harnett."

So in the following time, Elizabeth was rarely at home.Mrs. Bennet was not very happy 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 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?"
