[Comprehensive classics] Darcy or Brandon

Annie sat in front of the dressing table, supported her chin with both hands, looked at the too ordinary face in the mirror, and then slumped her shoulders a little discouraged.In fact, all the facial features on this face can be considered beautiful, but when they are combined together, they look ordinary, which really makes people feel helpless.

Recently, Annie has started to pay more and more attention to her appearance. Mr. Darcy is really too good, even if she just stands by his side as a friend, Annie will feel inferior from time to time.Especially sometimes, when Anne is holding Mr. Darcy's arm, and the two are walking quietly and tacitly in the field, Anne will occasionally uncontrollably fantasize that Mr. Darcy is her lover. Whenever this happens, As long as she thinks of her unusually ordinary face now, she will feel uncontrollably sad.

Mr. Darcy is a fine gentleman, and such a gentleman is fully qualified to have a perfect wife, and she is absolutely unworthy of him in appearance.

Annie took another look at her appearance in the mirror, and after sighing, she began to coil up her hair in the same way every morning in the past, combing them into an old-fashioned bun.What's the use of thinking so much, it's better to let nature take its course.

At this time, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and Lucy spun into the room from the corridor. After closing the door quickly, she leaned against the door panel and closed her eyes.

"What's the matter, what's the matter?" Annie asked, looking at Lucy in the mirror.

Lucy took a few breaths, shook her head, walked to the bed and sat down, and said, "It's nothing, but I was almost seen by the early maid."

"It doesn't matter if you see it, just say that you suddenly want to go out for a walk."

"Yes, yes, why didn't I think of such an excuse." Lucy patted her forehead and said, she used to think of such a small way, but today she didn't know what happened, when she saw the maid going upstairs The figure of the man became completely blank, and only thought of running away immediately.

"You're just too nervous, dear." Annie put down the comb in her hand and walked to Lucy, rubbed her shoulder, and asked, "Did you say those words, what does Edward look like?"

"Of course, Edward seemed very nervous. He kept persuading me not to tell Miss Dasherwood about our affairs. I didn't know how to face him. After refusing, I came back." Lucy said with her head down. , with a little sadness in his tone.

Any ex-girlfriend who has been let down will feel a little sad when she sees that her former lover is desperate for her current girlfriend, even if she no longer loves that man anymore.Annie understood this feeling, she patted Lucy's arm comfortingly, and said, "Would you like to go back to bed and lie down for a while, this will make you more comfortable."

"No." Lucy shook her head. "Actually, I just feel a little uncomfortable. I just need to sit quietly for a while, and I'll be fine soon."

"Well, if you're very uncomfortable, don't go downstairs for breakfast today." Annie said.

Lucy turned up in the dining room at breakfast, but Edward and Eleanor didn't show up until after everyone else was seated.Mrs. Travers couldn't help but feel a little worried, so she asked the absent-minded Marian, "Miss Marian, is Miss Dasherwood unwell, do you want me to ask the maid to bring breakfast to your room?"

"Oh, no, I think Eleanor just went out for a walk and hasn't come back, she's up early in the morning," replied Marianne.

"Is that so? Then Mr. Robert, do you know why your brother didn't go downstairs?" Mrs. Travers turned to ask Robert again.

Robert smiled while holding his teacup and said, "Sorry, I haven't seen my brother this morning, so I can't answer your question, but I think he must have been delayed by something important."

Mrs. Dasherwood keenly recognized the deep meaning hidden in the words, and immediately turned her head to stare at Robert and asked, "What is important, what do you know, Robert?"

"How could I know, sister, you know that Edward and I usually don't have much communication." Robert pursed his lips and said.

"Then you shouldn't say that kind of misleading words." Mrs. Dasherwood said angrily, beckoning to send the maid to find Edward.

But at this time Edward took Eleanor's hand and walked into the restaurant. Both of them had happy smiles on their faces, and Eleanor looked at everyone with confidence.Their appearance was too obvious. After considering the situation of the past two days, everyone immediately guessed a result.

Mrs. Dasherwood stared wide-eyed and watched Edward help Eleanor to open the stool, and then sat on the seat by herself after Eleanor sat down. During this period, Edward never left Eleanor's eyes, And Eleanor's face showed a little shy expression.

"Edward, this is, this is..." Mrs. Dasherwood looked at Edward in surprise and said.

Edward didn't hesitate any more at this time. He looked at Mrs. Dasherwood and said with a calm expression: "As you think, sister, I proposed to Miss Dasherwood just now, and she agreed to me marriage proposal."

Everyone showed a look of surprise, they didn't expect Edward to propose to Eleanor suddenly.Marianne immediately hugged Eleanor, congratulated her loudly with a smile, and blessed her.

Mrs. Dasherwood froze for a few seconds and then suddenly screamed: "No, Edward, you must be joking!"

Everyone was taken aback by her scream, but Edward still said calmly and firmly: "No, sister, I know what I'm doing. Miss Dasherwood and I are already married couples, please bless us Us, Fanny."

Mrs. Dasherwood gasped loudly, she looked at Edward and Eleanor angrily, stood up suddenly, threw the napkin in Edward's face, and roared: "No, I will never bless you Yes, Edward Ferrars!"

Mr. Dasherwood saw his wife rushing out of the restaurant angrily, and immediately stood up and chased after her, shouting, "Fanny, where are you going?"

"I'm going back to London, now, now, now!" Mrs. Dasherwood's angry voice came from the stairwell, accompanied by a series of hurried footsteps as she hurried up the stairs.

After the couple left, the restaurant immediately became silent. Everyone didn't know how to face such a scene, because this kind of thing was really embarrassing.

Edward pulled off the napkin that Mrs. Dasherwood threw at his face in great embarrassment. Eleanor, who was opposite him, was already crying because of grievances. The two of them thought about many scenes. They knew that Mrs. Dasherwood always Time will not bless them, but none of them thought that Mrs. Dasherwood would be so dishonorable to them.

Seeing Eleanor's red eye circles, Marianne immediately said angrily: "It's too much, Edward, Eleanor, you don't care about her, it doesn't matter even if you don't get her blessing. She is simply It's horrible, how could such a thing be done!"

Eleanor, who was able to hold back her tears, finally couldn't hold back the tears when she heard Marianne's grievances for her. Then she covered her face and ran out of the restaurant crying. Marianne immediately followed her and ran out as well. .

The atmosphere became even more awkward. Robert pursed his lips gloatingly, looked at Edward who was completely at a loss, raised his glass and said very sincerely: "I wish you a happy engagement, Edward."

"Thank you." Edward nodded, and pulled the corner of his mouth with difficulty, "I'm going back to my room first, the breakfast is delicious." After Edward left, the unexpected farce finally ended, and the awkward atmosphere in the restaurant disappeared. but most people also

I was in no mood to continue eating breakfast, and left the restaurant after taking a few mouthfuls perfunctorily.Soon there were only three people in a good mood left in the spacious dining room, Anne, Lucy and Robert.

Finally, Robert no longer restrained the expression on his face. He lifted his chin triumphantly, poured himself a glass of wine with a soft hum, and shook it at Annie and Lucy, "I really didn't expect things to go so smoothly. Nothing came out. I'm curious, did the two ladies do something that I don't know?"

"Don't worry about it, I think you'd better go home right away and grab what you want while your mother is angry." Annie cut a piece of ham and ate it slowly.

"Yes, yes, I will pack my luggage after this breakfast. Fanny brought a lot of luggage this time, and I think she needs to pack for a while," Robert said.

"Then I wish you success, Mr. Robert." Lucy also poured herself a glass of wine and said after taking a sip.

"I'm halfway there, and I'm sure I'll be the only Mr. Ferrars next time we meet. My dear mother had high hopes for Edward, but he has broken her heart so much that she will take He kicked out the house, I really can't wait to see this scene." Robert said with a little expectation, and then he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

The Dasherwood couple and Robert left the Titmouse Manor before noon, and then Edward and the Dasherwood sisters also left in a hurry in the afternoon, and the whole Titmouse Manor suddenly became much quieter.

That night when we were sitting in the living room chatting, Mrs. Jennings looked at Anne sympathetically and said, "Poor Miss Steele, you must have never expected to see the scene this morning, Mr. Ferrars and Miss Dasherwood It's so reckless, you don't have to rush to get engaged. I know they love each other and don't want to be separated, but it would be cruel to say it in front of Miss Steele. Miss Steele, I really hope you've thought it through."

Annie rolled her eyes in her heart when she heard these words. If she really loved Edward and was abandoned, she would definitely be overwhelmed by what Mrs. Jennings said now!

"Edward and I are friends, and Miss Dasherwood and I are also friends. The two of them can be united. I sincerely wish them happiness." Anne said.
