Mr. Briggs spent a lot of money and arranged a first-class cabin for Jane Eyre.As soon as we boarded the ship, well-dressed waiters came up with standard smiles to guide us.He reached out to take Jane Eyre's suitcase, but she gently refused.

This is a medium-sized cruise ship, not as grand and gorgeous as Jane Eyre imagined the Titanic, but it is enough for her to marvel.The waiter introduced that first-class passengers not only enjoy the best room service, but also can go for a massage to relax when they are bored.There is also a special library - it is special because it has a variety of books in various languages.In order to maintain its particularity and mystery, the librarian organizes the books in his own way. From the perspective of outsiders, the collection of books inside is simply disorganized.

"If you happen to like it, you must go there to explore treasures! Past guests have also had great poets and great writers, and they all praised it. There was once a bookworm, in order to understand the library. Secretly, after arriving at the destination, I immediately bought a return ticket, and I didn’t want to leave at all.”

These words completely aroused Jane Eyre's curiosity, "I will definitely not be bored in the next month!" 'she thinks.

Mr. Briggs sent Jane Eyre to the door of the room, and then bid farewell to her—he bought a second-class ticket for himself.

Jane Eyre pushed open the door of her room, and fell in love with this temporary habitat where she would live for more than a month at first sight.The overall decoration color is blue.Curtains, bed sheets, quilt covers, pillows, and bed curtains are all shades of blue, echoing the dark blue and black sea water outside the window, and the whole room is filled with the atmosphere of the ocean.

First class cabins are equipped with separate toilets.Toiletries are readily available.The room was also connected to a balcony, on which there was a set of tables and chairs. As soon as she saw this setting, she decided to read and write here in the future.

Just as Jane Eyre was digging out the contents of the suitcase, she heard a huge roar, and the whole hull shook slightly.Cheers came from the deck and the shore, and she hurriedly put down her work and planned to go out to see the excitement.As soon as the door was opened, all the guests came out, and the ladies and ladies in gorgeous dresses were chattering non-stop in the aisle.Looking at their attire, Jane Eyre felt like an ugly duckling falling into a swan lake.

She followed the flow of people and came to the deck, listening to the pleasant sounds of different languages.The band on the deck has already set up its posture, waiting for the conductor to give an order.On the deck of the first-class cabin, gentlemen and ladies are all very personable, standing and talking together with wine glasses in twos and threes, discussing where is more suitable for vacation.The lower deck of the third-class cabin is even bigger, and it is full of desperate young people who go out to pan for gold. They excitedly climbed on the horizontal bars of the fence, cheered to the shore, and sometimes made thrilling moves to win honors on the shore and on the ship. There were bursts of cheers.

Jane Eyre also took a glass of wine, and stood on the edge of the deck looking at the lively scene around her with unconcealed excitement.As the conductor waved his baton, the symphony orchestra began to play a farewell piece, gentlemen and ladies began to dance in the middle of the venue, and those left alone applauded around them.After looking at it with great interest for a while, Jane Eyre gradually felt the boat moving, and she turned her head to look at the shore with a thought.There was also a sea of ​​people, many people waved silk scarves, cheered, screamed, and said goodbye to their loved ones.

But she happened to be among thousands of people, and she saw Mr. Darcy at a glance, and Mr. Rochester seemed to have parted with him.He is tall and straight, standing at the door of a bank, away from the noisy crowd.A burly strange gentleman stood beside him, and kept talking to him, but Mr. Darcy turned his attention to the steamer.Jane Eyre was not sure if he saw herself, and couldn't help but waved.

After Mr. Darcy bid farewell to Mr. Rochester, he heard the roar of the ship and suddenly didn't want to leave immediately.He looked back at the ship, countless people poured into the deck, people around started waving silk scarves, shouting goodbye to their loved ones.

He struggled to make a decision last night, emotion defeated reason, but handed over the right to judge.He was expecting her to find out, but also afraid, all kinds of complex emotions were intertwined, which kept him awake all night.

He gave her the collection of poems that he had repeatedly written down. This collection of poems he copied by himself is full of contradictory thoughts about society and class.Shelley is one of his favorite writers, but he surprisingly found that Jane Eyre's ideas can find similarities in his poems.

He couldn't help but began to doubt his persistence.He received an orthodox "aristocratic education" since he was a child, and developed stubborn and superior prejudices, but he sensibly admired Shelley's thoughts.

Shelley was called a "madman" because of his fierce resistance to "rules"; now Mr. Darcy sadly discovered that he might also be a lunatic.

At the end of the collection of poems, he solemnly transcribed the poem "To—" in gorgeous cursive script, but timidly did not leave any extra words.

After the ship started, his eyes hungrily scanned the deck, but he couldn't find the familiar figure.At last, when the cheers reached their climax after the ship started, he found that the man was also waving to him.

After returning to the room, Jane Eyre recovered from her excitement.There was no one on the aisle, and most of the passengers stayed on the deck to continue the carnival.She walked out of the balcony, and faintly heard the sound of music and cheerful human voices, mixed with the sound of waves beating, but it seemed that her room was extraordinarily quiet.

After packing her luggage, she sat on the edge of the bed, facing the ocean outside the window, and opened the last gift Mr. Darcy gave her.Coincidentally, the packaging of the gift was also dark blue velvet.She guessed from the feel that it was probably a notebook or a book.But she never expected that this was a book of reading notes written entirely by hand - which flattered her.

Mr. Darcy's handwriting ranges between strict and scribbled, and the notebook appears to have been written in his spare time.Jane Eyre roughly flipped through it, probably copied the poems first, and then Mr. Darcy's own thoughts.Just as she was about to take a closer look, there was a knock on the door.

The previous waiter was holding a notebook and a pen, and asked, "Miss Ai, would you like to eat lunch at the restaurant, or should we deliver it to your room?"

Jane Eyre was about to ask him to send him to the room, but then she thought of her uncle's request, and replied, "Go and ask Mr. Briggs, who is in the second-class cabin, if he would like to have dinner with me. By the way, you guys Are there any spare first-class cabins here?"

"Sorry, all the first-class cabins have been booked early."

"So, can passengers in the second class come to the restaurant in the first class to eat?"

"As long as you invite me, miss."

Jane Eyre nodded, took out a five-pence tip from her pocket and handed it to him.He thanked and thanked, and then he took his leave and went to find Mr. Briggs in the second class.

Jane Eyre went back to the room and put on a new dress.The guests in the first-class cabin are all elegantly dressed, and being too simple will inevitably become a talking point for others.She also put on the clothes that Sophie had matched for her. Although the overall look was not as delicate as the other ladies, it was not out of harmony.

After dressing up, Mr. Briggs came over.He also put on a fancy dress, and after saluting, Jane Eyre imitated those ladies and gentlemen arm in arm, and came to the dining room on the deck of the first-class cabin.

The small string orchestra was already playing a soothing and gentle tune, which Jane Eyre had never heard before. "It was made by the previous conductor of the orchestra," Mr. Briggs told her.

"You are so knowledgeable!"

"I was also a coal burner in my youth on the small liner that bears the same name, when the band's ex-musicians were employed on the little 'Kerry', and it was there that you and I Uncle met."

Jane Eyre was very curious about these old events: "He was also a coal burner at that time?" As they said, they sat down opposite each other on a small round table by the window.

"Of course not. He was a third-class passenger at that time. He took all his family property to 'gold mining' in Madeira Islands, hoping to make a fortune. The third-class guests would also have their own receptions. When he was drunk, he almost A female thief stole all her property - I stopped her." Mr. Briggs said lightly, with a hint of inexplicable nostalgia in his tone.

"Then, uncle must thank you well!"

"Our friendship is the best gift!" Mr. Briggs smiled heartily. He beckoned to the waiter and ordered a dish that only third-class restaurants and workers would eat. Jane Eyre really wanted to help him He ordered some more steaks, but he refused, and ordered a good grilled lamb chops and red wine for Jane Eyre.

"Your uncle and I have been excited enough to eat such a dish before." Mr. Briggs rolled some sauerkraut and ate it with bread. "We ordered such a dish when we disembarked." , and shared a German sausage. That’s how our adventure started.” His tone was not without nostalgia.

Jane Eyre listened to him talking about those old things the whole time, and also had her own views.

"Sorry, I'm going to the bathroom." After eating and drinking, Jane Eyre got up.

She passed the laughing ladies, passed a perforated screen, and watched quietly, and she saw a gentleman, after he left, look around, and came to Mr. Briggs.Mr. Briggs' complexion suddenly became very bad, and he was dragged to the corner of the deck.

Looking at all this, Jane Eyre began to have doubts about her previous judgment.Uncle reminded her in the letter, asking her to pay attention to Mr. Briggs' movements and beware of his words and deeds. Maybe he will meet some people and do some things he shouldn't do on board... But his previous Nostalgia and gratitude do not seem to be fake.Although Jane Eyre didn't get along with him much, she also felt that he was a responsible and loyal gentleman.

But Jane Eyre has no reason to doubt her uncle, he will never harm herself.

Just as she was thinking wildly, the huge screen in front of Jane Eyre was bumped by a fat man who was not moving smoothly when he had a dispute with someone, and fell straight on her body.She took a step back subconsciously, but the expected pain didn't happen, she was pushed aside by a pair of soft hands, and a familiar figure stood in front of her.

The author has something to say: * Shelley's poem is quite romantic

*Jet difference is so difficult to adjust, I was so sleepy that I only wrote in my early three thousand.
