[Comprehensive classics] Darcy or Brandon

After Anne and Mr. Darcy danced a dance, they hid in the corner together, and the two chatted happily about many things about their respective families.Anne only recognized Mr. Darcy as the guy who had been frozen with her for several hours in the cave in the middle of the conversation, but Anne didn't say it out to avoid embarrassment for the two of them. The appearance was so embarrassing, Anne felt that this gentleman who looked extraordinary would not want others to remember his appearance, it was probably a stain in his life.And Anne didn't think that Mr. Darcy would recognize her. You must know that she had been covering her face with a scarf at that time, and the light in the hole was not very good. It is strange that Mr. Darcy could recognize her.

The fact is completely contrary to what Anne thought. Mr. Darcy not only recognized her, but also very much hoped that Anne could remember him.Among all Mr. Darcy's friends, he is almost in the dominant position. Usually, others confide in him, but he can only tell God silently about his own thoughts every time he goes to church.Since the last time Mr. Darcy said something to Anne, he had enjoyed the fun of pouring out his inner pressure. He desperately needed Anne to be his confidant, and he desperately needed someone to listen to his troubles and help him ease his relationship with George. Anna's relationship.

Therefore, throughout the conversation, Mr. Darcy has been euphemistically and cryptically referring to some topics they talked about when they were in the cave, but Anne can always turn the topic to completely irrelevant places at this time, which makes Darcy The husband was a little helpless, and this helplessness lasted until the end of the dance.

When Mr. Darcy rode on the horse and watched Anne and Lucy leave together, he felt for the first time that he had actually failed in communication. He spent the whole afternoon without talking about a topic he wanted to talk about!

The ball didn't feel very good at the beginning, but at the end of the day, the two sisters undoubtedly had something to say about it. When they walked to the gate of the Titmouse Manor, Lucy walked around the gate with a smile, holding Anne's arm. Putting his hand on Annie's shoulder, he said joyfully, "Annie, Mr. Darcy has been chatting with you all afternoon, don't you have any thoughts?"

"What do you think, Lucy, I told you, don't think nonsense, and don't talk nonsense when you go in." Anne said, in her opinion, she and Mr. Darcy, two poor guys who are worried about their sisters, are nothing more than It's just a simple discussion about the experience of educating my younger sister, what else is there, probably no man in this world would talk about his younger sister for an entire afternoon in front of the lady he admired, right?

"I promise I won't talk nonsense, my dear sister." Lucy said happily. She had a beautiful dream in her heart, and felt that Anne would marry Mr. Darcy soon, so that she could also get many benefits She believes that Mr. Darcy will not be stingy in introducing a good marriage to his wife and sister.

"Just remember, you drank a lot of wine today, I'm really worried that you won't be able to control yourself," Annie said.

The two entered the house. In the living room, the Travers family was entertaining new guests who had just arrived more than two hours ago. They were Edward and the two Miss Dasherwood.

The Miss Dasherwoods soon spotted Anne and Lucy walking in. Eleanor put down the coffee cup in her hand, walked towards Anne and said, "Long time no see, Anne, I thought we would arrive here at the same time, but unexpectedly In order to keep us from feeling bored during the journey, Edward deliberately stayed in several places worth visiting for a few days, which made us late for so long."

Eleanor's smile was as gentle as usual, but her eyes and her tone all contained the emotions of pride and showing off.Annie felt that the young lady was provoking her, and smiled back at her indifferently, and said with the identity of the pioneer: "Edward is indeed a caring gentleman, this old friend of mine is very clear. "

The arrangement of seats in the living room is very interesting. Edward is sitting on a large sofa that can seat five people at the same time. On his left is only Mr. Gavin, and on his right, there is only one person sitting across from him. Eleanor.Everyone else sat on other couches.

After observing for a while, Annie pulled Lucy to Edward's sofa without hesitation, and sat down next to Edward.Anne didn't take another seat, so there was an empty space next to Lucy. Annie smiled and waved to Eleanor, and said, "Eleanor, come and sit, we haven't had a good time for a long time. Chatting, I really want to talk to your good friend!"

Eleanor didn't expect that Anne would sit next to Edward directly, and she pulled a handkerchief and glanced at Edward, hoping to see some disgust towards Anne in Edward's eyes, but what disappointed her was that she was only in Edward's Seeing restlessness and guilty conscience in her eyes made her a little uneasy.

Annie didn't look at Eleanor's grievance. She looked sideways at Edward and said, "Dear Edward, your tenderness and consideration have never changed! I still remember when we lived in our uncle's house. , you will always take the two of us sisters to play upside down when you have time."

Edward hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to answer, so Marianne looked at Edward with a slight accusation and said, "Edward, you didn't tell us that you had played with the two Miss Steeles?" Marianne said to People always lack basic understanding. She thinks that as a friend, Edward should talk to them about everything, not to mention that Edward and Eleanor will soon become a couple, so he should tell them such important things .

"It was all a long time ago." Edward said with a glance at Eleanor.

"Yeah, time flies so fast, a year has passed in a flash." Annie said with some sighs: "Edward, you have found new ladies to accompany you, you probably have forgotten me and Lucy, right? Probably because of this, I didn’t tell your new friends.”

Edward's heart skipped a beat. Annie was reminding him, just as she took out the pocket watch to show him on purpose when the food was served at Barton Manor.Edward quickly said: "How could it be, Miss Steele, you and Lucy have always been my good friends, and of course I will never forget you. Besides, we only met in Barton more than ten days ago!"

Annie smiled at Edward, then turned to chat with Eleanor, asking her to tell what they had seen and heard during the trip.

The speaker has no intention but the listener has the intention. Edward's words are just ordinary words spoken to friends in the eyes of others, but they are not ordinary to Eleanor who is deeply in love.Why should Edward remember Anne? Aren't they no longer related? Since they are already ordinary friends, why should they remember?Eleanor was upset, but she was always good at forbearance, so apart from Marianne, even Edward didn't notice her uneasiness.

The wedding day was coming soon, and guests from other counties came over one after another. In the evening, a few more guests came, and the Titmouse Manor became even more lively.At dinner Mrs. Travers had the footmen add an extra table to the dining room, but even then it was almost full.

Everyone chatted with each other, and they were all very happy to meet new friends. Lilian liked the excitement very much, so she suggested that everyone go to a picnic the next day.Her proposal was approved by everyone, so the next day's picnic was decided.

At night, Annie sat in front of the mirror and carefully curled her hair, while Lucy lay halfway under the quilt and lay at the end of the bed, playing with her hair while asking, "Annie, what do you want to do tomorrow? "

"Let's see tomorrow. It's best for Edward to come to me by himself. If he doesn't look for me, I will find a chance to get close to him."

"Do you think we can really separate him and Miss Dasherwood? I think they look very much in love." Lucy said a little frustrated.

Anne pursed her lips. She didn't really have much thought about whether Edward and Eleanor were together, but it was really annoying for these two people to hang around in front of her. Edward had shown so much affection for Lucy before, but turned Forgot all about it at the beginning, and quickly found Eleanor.As for Eleanor, even if she doesn't know the truth, after listening to what she said before, she should mistakenly think that she and Edward are lovers, and now it is a bit strange to be so blatantly close to Edward in front of her face disgust.

"The time they have known each other is far less than the time you and Edward have known each other. How much do you think they can love each other? Now they are just in the period of passionate love, and the relationship will be like that after a long time." Annie said.

"I've inquired. Mr. Travers and Edward's father used to be good friends, so this time Mr. Daniel's wedding, Edward's sister, Mrs. Fanny Dasherwood and his younger brother Robert Ferrars will also come. , They will definitely prevent Edward and Eleanor from being together. Annie, do you think I should add fuel to the flames at that time?" Lucy said again.

"Really?" The movement of Anne's hand paused, and then said: "I don't know what that Mrs. Dasherwood will do, but if what Mrs. Ferrars said before is true, then that Mr. Robert will definitely I'm glad you can help, Lucy. As the second son, Mr. Robert didn't get any property. In order to get property, I guess he will desperately try to get Edward and Miss Dasherwood together.

After hearing this, Lucy put her fists on her chin and said expectantly, "Then I must help this Mr. Robert. I don't know when he will come. I'm really looking forward to it."

Anne is also looking forward to the rumored Mr. Robert. In the original book, Lucy married this gentleman, but she remembered that Edward did not think very well of her brother.Anne is a little worried that the other party is really a fool who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun as Edward said. If the other party is only relatively mediocre compared to Edward, it is actually a good choice for Lucy to marry him according to the idea in the original book.

The weather on the second day was a bit bad for a picnic, but compared to the overall rainy weather in the UK, this occasional cloudy weather is not bad.When Annie and the others went out, there was still some time before lunch, so they just laid out a big picnic cloth, and then pressed down the four corners with a few picnic baskets they brought, and then everyone started to move freely.

The gentlemen came out with dogs and hounds this time. At this time, several gentlemen planned to hunt some prey back, while the ladies chose to take a walk nearby and fly kites.Edward had been looking for a chance to talk to Anne since yesterday, so he didn't go hunting with the other gentlemen.

Marianne looked at Anne and Lucy, walked over and pulled up Edward who was sitting on the picnic cloth and said, "Edward, since you don't want to go hunting, come take a walk with us!"

"Marian, I want to sit down for a while." Edward said with some embarrassment.

Marianne didn't listen to Edward's words, she pulled him forward and said to herself, "Edward, don't refuse us, I know you are willing to walk with us, hurry up, Ellie Nuo is waiting for us!"

Eleanor also said in response: "Marian, Edward, come here quickly, the scenery here is really beautiful!"

"Miss Dasherwood, you'd better fly the kite with me. I think Mr. Edward's face is not very good. It's probably because the previous journey was too tiring. Let's let him have a rest!" Lilian ran with the kite in her hand. Arrived at Eleanor's side and said.

Eleanor hesitated for a while, seeing that Edward's face seemed to be really not very good, she agreed to Lilian, and said to Marian: "Marian, I'd better play kites with Miss Travers for a while, we Let’s take a walk with Edward later.”

"Eleanor!" Marianne yelled, trying to stop Eleanor, but Lilian had already dragged Eleanor away.

Marian snorted depressingly, turned and ran away.She thought Eleanor was really weird. She knew she had a rival in love, but she didn't care. If she were, she would definitely cling to Edward tightly. How could Anne have the chance to get close to Edward.
