Pride and Prejudice of Jane Eyre

Chapter 26 Pemberley Manor

Mr. Rochester frowned, he was considering the feasibility of Mr. Lawyer's suggestion.

It was true that he had received a letter this afternoon from little Mr. Darcy, inviting Adele to Pemberley Park.Miss Darcy had been almost out of society since the death of her parents, and Mr. Darcy was evidently in no mood for parties.

And as the elder brother, he didn't realize his sister's sensitive mind until now. She was still a ten-year-old child, and the death of her parents had hit her no less than him.He had to support the family business, but in the initial frustration and busyness, he ignored his only blood relative.Ever since he had seen Miss Warren's vivaciousness at the pre-Christmas party, he had wanted to establish a friendship between the two little girls.Miss Warren was also an orphan, but there was no distress in her face.Mr. Darcy felt that her optimism could be a good influence on her sister.

Mr. Rochester originally thought that the current weather was too cold, and he would consider letting Adela be a guest when the spring began.As a tutor, Jane Eyre will definitely be with Adele, but Jane Eyre's life experience is also relatively complicated, and he has not yet made a decision.

However, under the current circumstances, this seems to be the best option.Bertha can't leave Thornfield for the time being, it's too risky not to be fully prepared.But Bertha here is a devil who will crawl out of hell at any time to deal with the weak Miss Jane.Mr. Rochester had now lost confidence in Mrs. Poole's and Thornfield's locks, and was very much reproaching himself.But if you think about it, Bertha has been locked up here for nearly 20 years, so it is very possible to figure it out.

Before he could make a decision.Mrs. Fairfax came back with her medicine box in her arms. Panting heavily, she reported to her master: "I have asked John to call for a doctor, and he will be here soon!" Immediately, she looked at Jane Eyre , The tears in the eyes fell down all of a sudden.

She knelt down beside Jane Eyre, doing simple cleaning and bandaging for her. "Poor girl, what a winter!" She wanted to take Jane into the room, but none of the other three gentlemen could count on it.Both Mr. Rochester and Lawyer Johnson tried their best to suppress Bertha, and Mr. Mason was a thin man.Now she doesn't have any good looks towards the Mason family!

Bertha was pressed to the ground, cursing and cursing both Mr. Rochester and Jane Eyre. "Shut up! Bertha!" Mr. Rochester looked disgusted, "Miss Jane is never what you imagined!"

Bertha was no longer sober at this moment, and returned to the state of madness. She could not listen to others at all, and her hoarse and high-pitched voice pierced the darkness of the whole room.She felt that her eyes were going to be blinded by the quicklime stimulation, and she stared at Mr. Rochester with bright red eyes, like ghostly eyes.Mr. Mason's legs were limp, and he leaned against the wall weakly. He was so frightened by her eyes that he was about to faint.Mr. Rochester tried to loosen his grip on the lawyer a little, and lead her back to the room, but Bertha was about to break free when he let go.They hurriedly exerted force, not daring to move again.

After a stalemate like this for nearly half an hour, Jane Eyre's blood was stopped.As she expected, although it looked scary, it didn't hurt the main artery. Although her body wasn't strong and powerful, the platelet hemostatic function was not bad, but the pressure on her chest and abdomen was really painful.Fearing that she would catch a cold, Mrs. Fairfax ran into the room, tore off the quilt, and wrapped Jane Eyre up.

After a while, the doctor came running carrying the box.He was chilled all over, and the clothes on his body were not suitable. It seemed that he was dragged here by John in his sleep. "Doctor! Show my sister quickly! What's wrong with her eyes!" Mr. Mason was quick to speak at this time.

"Examine Miss Jane Eyre first! She was stabbed in the neck!" Mr. Rochester ordered, and he looked at Mason with a vaguely threatening look.

Under the order of the master of the manor, the doctor saw that Jane Eyre was weakly wrapped in the quilt by Mrs. Fairfax and half hugged by her, while Bertha was suppressed by two men for so long, and she was still very strong and very Quick decision.Together with Mrs. Fairfax, he carried Jane Eyre into her bedroom and treated her wounds.

Mr. Mason glared at Mr. Rochester angrily. Mr. Rochester ignored him and worked together with Lawyer Johnson to lift Mason up: "Don't come to help? Do you want her to break free and bite you half to death?" Mr. Mason was indifferent May the ground step forward to help, he really has a psychological shadow.But he still cared about his sister, and he didn't have the heart to do it cruelly, but was blocked by Mr. Rochester.

The winter night was extremely cold, and she lay on the ground bleeding for more than half an hour. Her whole body was cold.Jane Eyre lay on the bed and gradually lost consciousness.

Doctors re-bandaged her.Mrs. Fairfax reminded him that Jane Eyre’s chest and abdomen seemed to be injured before. The doctor checked carefully and found that there was nothing serious, but the bruises on the chest and abdomen looked very scary. .After a few instructions to Mrs. Fairfax to take good care of her, he went upstairs to examine another patient in a familiar way.

Bertha's eyes were injured by quicklime, but fortunately, the amount that got into her eyes was not large, and it only made her suffer for a while.The content of quicklime was not pure. After the treatment, the doctor found that the most serious injury on her body was the self-inflicted wound she had suffered in the attic.The doctor sighed. He has worked for Thornfield for many years and is very familiar with this patient.She is mentally ill and occasionally sober.When she is conscious, she hurts others; when she is unconscious, she hurts herself.

After tossing for most of the night, several people stayed up all night.Mr. Rochester saw off the doctor and returned to the attic, but found Mrs. Poole fainted in the corner. —It seems that she did not betray her master.Mr. Rochester locked Bertha back into the small room at the attic, and sat wearily on the sofa outside—the sofa that was once stained red by Mr. Mason's blood. Cursed, powerlessly fell into silence.

It was getting daylight outside, and daylight filtered in through the narrow windows.Mr. Rochester was awakened by the crow's shrill cry. He moved his body, which was about to freeze, and glanced at the closed door. It was quiet inside.What happened that night far exceeded his expectations. The soul that had escaped from hell was pulled back again, unable to breathe.

He made up his mind and went downstairs to the study.Bertha can't leave now. For the safety of Jane Eyre and Adele, they can only go to Pemberley Manor as soon as possible to avoid the limelight.Bertha's goal is already Jane Eyre - he knows it because of his attitude.Although he advised himself that Miss Jane could only be a tutor and his friend, it was undeniable that she had indeed made waves in his heart, and he had also struggled, but he didn't want to be restrained anymore. The second bird.Jane Eyre is different from Bertha, her soul is free, and more importantly, she has no intention of herself.Maybe his feelings were captured by Bertha sensitively, so she would target her in this way, causing her to suffer unnecessarily.

He quickly wrote the letter, and asked John to deliver the urgent letter while it was still daylight, and accepted the invitation from Pemberley.

When Jane Eyre learned that she was going to Pemberley with Adele soon, she lay blankly under the covers and said "Pardon?"

Mrs. Fairfax took good care of her just like the last time when she caught the cold. Seeing that she was completely different from her usual quickness and intelligence, and she was in a daze, she couldn't help laughing: "It's okay to go out and play." Well, Jane. Adele also needs friends of the same age, and I heard that Miss Darcy in Pemberley is only three or four years older than her, and they will definitely become friends." She sighed randomly: "It's all a pity to lose Parents’ child.” She suddenly realized that the parents of the 19-year-old girl in front of her also went to see God early, and realized her slip of the tongue.

When Jane Eyre saw Mrs. Fairfax's face, she knew that she thought of herself too.I had no choice but to pretend not to hear, "Yes, Adele is always with us grown-ups, so she must be bored."

Mrs. Fairfax poured her a cup of hot tea: "Don't worry, the journey will not be too difficult. Pemberley Manor is not far away. Mr. Rochester said that Mr. Darcy will send the carriage of the Darcy family over."

Jane Eyre nodded, took the teacup, and drank tea obediently, "Ah! Then I have to pack my luggage, and Adele has a lot of things. This little girl loves beauty so much at a young age, and Sophie has already Have you started tidying up?"

"You don't need to worry about this, Jane." Mrs. Fairfax shook her head, looked at the glaring white bandage on her neck and said, "You just recuperate well, and the maid will help to fix everything."

The day before she left, Jane Eyre had almost recovered, and now there was only a thin bandage of pills on her neck.She has been in the room these two days with fear, and when she is alone, she locks the door, but panics herself.Mr. Rochester and Mr. Mason, coming out of their study, happened to meet her walking in the aisles for the first time these days. "Miss Jane, can I have a word with you?" Unexpectedly, Mr. Mason asked.

"Oh! Okay." Jane Eyre nodded because she didn't understand.Mr. Rochester nodded at her too.Mr. Mason made an inviting gesture and led her to the window, but was still within Mr. Rochester's sight.

"I'm here to apologize to you, Miss Eyre." Mr. Mason was silent for a moment, then hesitantly said, "For the harm my sister caused to you... Please forgive her." Closing her eyes, "She's already a lunatic, she's lost her mind, she doesn't know what she's doing. She doesn't understand what kind of crime she has committed!"

"Mr. Mason, I really want to forgive her, but I changed my mind after listening to you." Jane Eyre tried her best to restrain her anger, and she was stunned by his righteousness: "It's not that she doesn't know that she is What to do, she even premeditated! Sir, I naturally don't take a lunatic too seriously, but I can't believe what you should do!" This is moral kidnapping!

Mr. Mason looked puzzled.Looking at his expression, she was not angry either.Mr. Mason is too weak and too selfish.It is really "different ways do not conspire with each other"!He has a guilty mind, but he thinks that others' forgiveness is a matter of course. ——At the end of the day, he still doesn’t take her seriously, and he doesn’t really realize that Bertha’s harm to her is substantial. He thinks she is a subordinate, and she must apologize if a superior person “puts down her dignity” Accepted!

"Bertha Mason will leave the Rochester family soon, sir. I'm just advising you from the perspective of a victim, take good care of her, protect her, and do my best to treat her! Otherwise, she will be at your "mercy" Commit an unforgivable mistake!" Mason looked at the girl in front of him full of anger and was speechless.He didn't understand why she said that.

"These 20 years of sins and pains are all due to the kindness of Mr. Rochester. He has borne it with his own strength. Although you have suffered, you have never helped. I have no intention of criticizing your behavior, just ..." She suddenly didn't know what to say.

Although Mr. Mason was puzzled, he still nodded.She was so respected by Mr. Rochester, and perhaps there was something unique about her—although all he saw was a poor governess with a small, gaunt figure.

"Then, goodbye, Mr. Mason. I wish you all the best." Jane Eyre ended the conversation as soon as possible. "Thank you, and I wish you a speedy recovery." Mr. Mason nodded, then thought of something, and performed a standard gentleman's salute.

The carriage from Pemberley Park came early, but Adele got up even earlier.When she learned that she was going to Derbyshire with Jane Eyre the other day, she almost screamed with joy.I heard there was a Miss Darcy there who was only three or four years older than her!

However, when she saw the glaring oozing bandage on Jane Eyre's neck, she was startled, and immediately big tears rolled down her fair and rosy cheeks.Jane Eyre comforted her that she was fine, but she still kept crying.Jane Eyre teased her again with the wonderful trip to Pemberley Manor, and she was unmoved, from sobbing to howling. ——Jane Eyre felt that comforting this little girl was more painful than hurting her own neck!

Still, when the day finally came, she woke up early and excited.Although she knew that it was only the coachman who came to pick them up, she still ordered Sophie to change into a beautiful rose-colored velvet dress and curl her hair into a perfect arc. "My little princess! Even if you don't have curly hair, you are already very beautiful!" Jane Eyre was shocked by her battle, and Sophie was ordered to turn around. The boxes that had been sorted before were now opened, and the things were scattered all over the place.

Jane Eyre rang the bell and asked the maid to come up and clean up the mess.As a nanny, Sophie couldn't control Adele at all! "Miss Jane! Do you think Miss Darcy will like me? Isn't she beautiful?" Adele was full of curiosity and worry, "What if she doesn't like what I'm wearing? Should I wear it again?" A pearl hair ornament?"

"...Adela, the carriage of Pemberley Manor is already downstairs! If we are late, the servants of Pemberley and the Darcy brothers and sisters may not necessarily have a good first impression of us." Jane Eyre urged, and she ordered Sophie also helped to pack things and moved downstairs, while she took the black coat and hat hanging on the hanger, and hurriedly put them on for Adele.

She hurried back to her room again, and picked up a suitcase that she had packed early—it was the one she brought when she came to Thornfield, and there were even fewer things in it. She only brought a few pieces of seasonal clothes, Half the net worth and a new notebook.She put on the black woolen coat that Mrs. Fairfax gave her, and the wide-brimmed hat that Ellie gave her, and she asked John's wife to buy it for her at the market. Black velvet gloves.After getting dressed neatly, she led Adele by the hand and went downstairs.

Mrs. Fairfax was at the door directing the servants to move Miss Warren's things into the car. This little girl has a lot of luggage.When she heard footsteps behind her, she turned her head and said, "Miss Jane, the dry food has been placed in the car, and the hot water has been prepared. I really hope you don't suffer along the way!" Jane Eyre kissed her goodbye, "I hope we are not here During this period of time, everything is fine in Thornfield, you must pay attention to your body!"

"More than half of the most difficult winter has passed! Everything will be fine." Mrs. Fairfax smiled, her eyes were full of reluctance.Mr. Rochester originally wanted her to at least leave this house, but she was worried about the maids who worked here. She left by herself, and they lost their backbone. stand up.

"Where is Mr. Rochester?" Jane Eyre thought that he would at least come to see them off, after all, they had been away for at least a month or two, and they hadn't even said goodbye properly as friends.

Mrs. Fairfax shook her head. "Perhaps he hasn't gotten up yet! It's not easy to get up in winter mornings. He's tired enough these days."

"Miss Ai, is there anything else that needs to be moved?" The coachman in a big hat finished moving the luggage and asked her.

"God! Li Wen! It's you! Have you already got this job? Great!" Jane Eyre said in surprise, "There is nothing else, I only have one suitcase, thank you! Is Bessie okay? "

"All good! Miss Ai, hurry up and get in the car. If we delay any longer, we may not be able to reach the post station before dark. The snow has melted and turned into ice, and this journey will be difficult."

After hearing this, Jane Eyre had to say goodbye to Mrs. Fairfax in a hurry.Mrs. Ellie and Mrs. John also came out to say goodbye to her.After all this was done, Jane Eyre climbed into the carriage with her suitcase, and Sophie carried Adele into the carriage, but got out of the carriage to sit next to the driver.

"Sit with us, Sophie, it's too cold outside. Your body can't bear it." Jane Eyre called Sophie back.Sophie gave a grateful smile, her nose flushed from the cold.

The carriage left Thornfield Hall along the road she had come from.Out of her sight, Mr. Rochester stood at the window, watching the carriage go further and further away.From the door behind him came the sound of Bertha Mason cursing madly, and the cups and vases in the small room were smashed to the ground.For the safety of the whole house, he stayed here for several days.Bertha's abuse reminded him of his painful youth, but occasionally he wondered, did he really do something wrong?But there was no reason for Bertha's complaints, she was the one who betrayed the marriage first!

The carriage at Pemberley Manor was not the open one that Li Wen drove before.This carriage is well sealed, and the cold wind cannot penetrate at all.The seats inside are all wrapped in plush fabric, which is warm and shockproof when sitting.Jane Eyre couldn't help sighing how nice it is to be rich...Adela even slept on Jane Eyre's lap after a simple lunch.

Li Wen's driving skills were very high, and he reached the fastest speed under the most stable conditions. Even though they were delayed for so long in the morning, they still arrived at the post station before dark.

"This has entered the territory of Derbyshire, Miss Eyre. The post has already prepared the rooms, and Mr. Darcy has ordered that you must be entertained with the best conditions." Li Wen pulled out the pedal and helped Jane Eyre out of the car.

"Thank you so much! Li Wen." As soon as Jane Eyre finished thanking her, she saw a lame man walking towards them with a big smile.

"You are Miss Jane Eyre! I am Henry of Pemberley Manor, and Mr. Darcy has ordered me to meet you here."

"Oh! Henry, hello." Jane Eyre remembered, "You are Li Wen's friend, aren't you? This is Miss Adele Warren, the adopted daughter of Mr. Rochester. This is Sophie, her Nanny." Henry skillfully saluted them.Li Wen followed the postman and led the carriage to the stable.Jane Eyre and his party followed Henry into the inn.

Mr. Darcy's arrangement was very appropriate, and the experience of this night was completely different from the first day she came to this world.The layout of this suite is not only magnificent, but also neat and tidy!This greatly improved Jane Eyre's impression of the famous Mr. Darcy who only met a few times.

The next day was not very tight and the weather was surprisingly warm.Having entered the border of Derbyshire, Jane Eyre opened the car window and listened to Henry sitting in the co-pilot seat to introduce her to Pemberley.

"It's winter, and it's not the most beautiful time in Pemberley! In spring and summer, it's a paradise here! Pemberley has a large lake view, and mountains. It used to be a favorite place for old Mr. Darcy. They used to go to the lake in summer." Fishing! Hey, in those few days, Pemberley Manor will have to eat fish for a few days-their fishing level is also genetically superb!"

"In the past, old Reverend Wickham often took his son with them. They were like a family! Old Mr. Darcy trusted him very much, and was even closer to his son than to Mr. Darcy. Little Vic Ham is also a good-looking talent, and many girls in Pemberley Manor are secretly in love with him!"

"Ah! What am I talking about to you!" Henry laughed loudly, only then did he realize that it would be impolite to say this to an unmarried lady.When Jane Eyre heard the surname of Wickham, the alarm bells rang in her heart!She is not as familiar with Pride and Prejudice as she is with Jane Eyre, so she forgot that there is such a dangerous person at Pemberley Manor at first!

"It's okay! I'd like to hear this. Maybe we can meet tonight." Jane Eyre followed his words and asked, "It would be better if you would tell me what hobbies they all have. I hope we can meet each other tonight." gifts that make them happy."

Sure enough, Henry began to talk endlessly, introducing the Darcy brothers and sisters in Pemberley and Mr. Wickham, who could almost be called the little master.In his mouth, Mr. Wickham is definitely a pleasing young man.And Mr. Darcy, as she once saw in the book, is a proud gentleman in the mouth of the servants, but he is kind to the servants, has received an excellent education, and is a qualified landlord.And Miss Darcy used to be lively and cheerful, a treasure in the eyes of her parents and elder brother. However, since her parents passed away unexpectedly, she became depressed. Mr. Darcy was often away from home, collecting property everywhere to support the whole family.Only Mr. Wickham entertained her every day.

Jane Eyre guessed that it was for this reason that Miss Darcy became dependent on Wickham, and later made the decision to elope with him.She is not only a love for him, but also a kind of dependence and sustenance.If Wickham was a good gentleman, it would be a good story.However, his morals are despicable, and his pretended kindness and innocence and handsome appearance conceal his greed.

As she was speaking, Jane Eyre, under the guidance of Henry, saw the magnificent Pemberley Manor in the distance.This is not so much a manor as it is a castle.It is in the lake and water, and the original solemnity is also reflected in a poetic way.Although it was winter and the grass was withered, it was kept clean by the servants, and there was no sign of depression at all.It was evening at this time - although Jane Eyre estimated that it was only about three or four o'clock, the setting sun had already set on the horizon, and the orange-red sunlight shone on the quaint walls.This is a completely different scene from the depressed Thornfield Manor. It can be seen that its previous owners have poured love into it, and the repairs are perfect; unlike Thornfield Manor, which has been rejected by his master for more than [-] years .

She noticed that the carriage was driving faster and faster, and Li Wen beat the horse more frequently, it seemed that he was also very excited!Soon, the carriage stopped in front of the iron gate, and the gatekeeper at the iron gate met them, opened the iron gate, and then let them in.

Jane Eyre watched the big iron gate slowly open in front of her eyes, like turning the pages of a book, revealing the tall building behind her.This scene was like a scene from a British movie, she was so shocked that she couldn't speak.Adele began to feel restless. Although she was a person who "has seen the world", this was the first time she had experienced this kind of experience!

"Miss Jane! My heart is about to jump out! Miss Darcy lives in such a place, will she look down on me?" Adele whispered in her ear, and she actually felt inferior.Jane Eyre quickly comforted her, that Miss Darcy would definitely not look down on them because of her superior conditions, not to mention that they were invited by Mr. Darcy himself!

Soon, the carriage stopped in front of the gate of this "castle", and the Darcy brothers and sisters and Wickham were already standing at the gate to welcome the guests.The housekeeper's wife gestured to them from a distance.Jane Eyre and her party got out of the car, and Mr. Darcy stepped forward and saluted them as a gentleman.

"Good day, Miss Warren, Miss Love." His tone was neither sad nor happy, just as she remembered it. "This is my sister Georgiana Darcy. This is the son of my father's best friend, Wickham Sir. This is Granny Reynolds, the housekeeper of Pemberley"

Jane Eyre and Adele also bowed to them. "This is Miss Adele Warren, the adopted daughter of Mr. Edward Rochester. I am her governess." Adela performed a standard ladylike etiquette to them as if she had rehearsed countless times, I also introduced myself in English.

Miss Darcy's dress was very exquisite and luxurious. Although she was still a little girl in her early teens, the accessories on her body were already expensive to the naked eye. Her delicate face was full of curiosity and scrutiny towards the guests.Wickham looked only sixteen or seventeen years old, with a charming smile on his face. He was outstanding in appearance, even standing next to the tall and handsome Mr. Darcy.Jane Eyre noticed that when Mr. Darcy introduced him, he did not specify his Christian name, which showed that he was unfamiliar and indifferent.But he didn't seem to care. After greeting them, he turned his eyes back to Miss Darcy.

Mr. Darcy frowned and looked impatient.Adela thought he was dissatisfied with them, and didn't know what she had done wrong, so she nervously grabbed Jane Eyre's hand.Mr. Darcy soon realized his gaffe, and made a gesture of invitation, inviting them into the manor.

With the help of the maid, Jane Eyre and Adele took off their heavy coats and big-brimmed hats, exposing the bandages wrapped around her neck. "Oh! God, Miss Eyre, what's the matter with you? Quick! Quick! Let the doctor come over!" Wickham exclaimed.

"There's nothing serious about it, just some minor injuries." Jane Eyre refused, and the injuries were hard to explain: "I've already taken the medicine myself, and it will be healed in a few days."

Mrs. Reynolds nodded to her master and quietly left.

"Pemberley Manor is really worth seeing, Mr. Darcy." Jane Eyre praised, "It can be seen that the owners have taken good care of it, and its owners are also very family-loving people."

Mr. Darcy walked in front, and when he heard her words, he turned around and said, "You are the first person who does not directly praise its beauty and wealth, Miss Eyre! Are you showing your specialness?" This question is really blunt .

"Brother!" Miss Darcy tugged at his arm.

"I don't mean that, Mr. Darcy. I don't have the confidence to say more perfect and exaggerated compliments than my previous guests! I'm sure Pemberley Park is not short of such compliments. I won't compete with those guests." Already!" Jane Eyre found that the two "male protagonists" she met so far had bad tempers that were hard to deal with.

While talking, they walked up to a huge oil portrait.The picture frame was made of high-quality solid wood, and the four corners were inlaid with intricate gold decorations.It was the old Mr. and Mrs. Darcy and the Darcys, and Wickham was on it, standing very close to them. "Oh! Poor old Mr. and Mrs. Darcy!" Wickham noticed their eyes, and showed a sad expression at the right time, "Well-meaning Mrs. and Mrs.... this really pains me! Georgiana She is still so young, but she has to face this kind of pain!"

Georgiana grew pale.Mr. Darcy's brows became more and more wrinkled, and Jane Eyre noticed that he was not only sad, but also disgusted by the repetition of Wickham's story.

Jane Eyre said in a low voice: "I think, if they are still alive, what they want most is not to see their children in a sea of ​​misery, but to open a new chapter in their lives and live happily." She thought of herself I think of Jane Eyre's parents, they are all soft-hearted and loving people.She has also experienced the pain of the Darcy brothers and sisters, but time has smoothed the scars, and when she brought up her own sadness again, she was able to say it in a calm and happy tone.

Georgiana's beautiful eyes were filled with tears, Adele let go of Jane Eyre's hand, and took her arm intimately: "My mother is also in heaven, you say, if we become friends, aren't they Will they also become friends?" Hearing such childish words, Mr. Darcy was also moved for a moment.

"Perhaps they will! Adele." Georgiana looked at the little lady right now, "You are right, they live in another world too."

"My mother used to be a singer! She sings very well! She used to teach me how to sing when we lived in Paris! Mr. Rochester says I sing very well!"

"Oh? Are you French? I really want to go there too! But my brother is too busy to take me out! I have no friends in the manor alone."

"Yes! When we grow up, I will take you there!"

……

It often only takes an opportunity to become friends. The two little girls chatted suddenly, holding hands, and ran across the corridor. The setting sun came in from the long window on one side, drawing their figures Get old.Even the shadows looked like two young ladies.

"Thank you, Miss Eyre." Mr. Darcy watched them run farther and farther, and his crisp laughter lingered between the corridors, not angry.Pemberley Manor has not had such vitality for a long time, "It is indeed a correct choice to invite you over."

"Yes! Miss Warren and Miss Eyre are simply angels! Look, how happy Georgiana is!" Before Jane Eyre could answer Mr. Darcy's words, Wickham praised Adele with that fake and greasy aria La and Jane Eyre.

"You compliment me so much, Mr. Wickham." She felt goosebumps almost rising, "Thank you very much for your invitation, Mr. Darcy. I also hope that Adele can have a friend of the same age! You know Well, Thornfield Manor is too solemn for such a little girl. This is not conducive to her growth."

Mr. Darcy's eyes did not leave his sister, watching her still limp a little while running and jumping, and felt distressed: "Yes, Georgiana also needs a 'girl friend' of 'the same age'. As the elder Brother can't always take care of her emotions, on the contrary, it hurts her." He suddenly realized his gaffe, and deliberately lowered his face, his expression becoming unfriendly to strangers.

Jane Eyre noticed that Mr. Wickham, who was originally attentive, showed an embarrassing smile, and fell behind by half a step, no longer standing tightly together.

"I've got supper ready in the kitchen." Mrs. Reynolds was waiting for them at the end of the corridor.

The long dining table was covered with clean white tablecloths, five sets of tableware had been neatly arranged around the main table, and the candles in the middle were already lit.Mr. Darcy took the main seat, and Miss Darcy sat on the right hand side as usual. Wickham was about to sit next to her, but was stopped by Mr. Darcy: "Let the two new friends sit Come together, Wickham."

Adele glanced at Jane Eyre, and sat next to Miss Darcy after getting permission.Wickham walked around the table and took a seat on the left, facing Miss Darcy, and Jane Eyre had to sit opposite Adele.

Throughout the dinner, they spoke very little.Wickham tried his best to stir up the topic, complimented the two guests, and asked Miss Darcy if he needed seasoning, and showed great hospitality, but was blocked back by Mr. Darcy calmly.Miss Darcy realized that the atmosphere was not right, and she blinked with her new friend, and after making eye contact, she stopped talking.

"Oh! I miss Miss Jane's panna cotta! It's the most delicious thing I've ever eaten in my life! I have one after dinner every day!" After the last dessert was served, Adele exclaimed.Jane Eyre complained in her heart about a snack!I don't know how much trouble this sentence will cause her.

Sure enough, Darcy brothers and sisters all looked at her, "It's just a small dessert, not worth mentioning." Jane Eyre explained.

Miss Darcy's eyes sparkled under the candlelight: "That must taste good! I really want to taste it." At a young age, Miss Darcy has already learned to speak with hints.

"Georgianna, don't trouble your visitor like this," said Mr. Darcy.This sentence made Jane Eyre have to offer to provide delicious food.Jane Eyre couldn't help sighing, the Darcys are really good people!

She could only shake her head: "It's okay, it's not difficult. If it's convenient..."

"Mrs. Reynolds will help you." Mr. Darcy took a sip of red wine, blocking the slightly upturned eyes with the rim of his glass.
