[Comprehensive classics] Darcy or Brandon

After playing in the countryside all day, it was already dark when Anne and the others returned home. Mr. Darcy handed over the wild animals he had caught in his hand to the servant, and said, "Let the cook join us tonight." A few dishes. Joanna, Anne, what do you want to eat?"

Georgiana leaned on the sofa and said with a tired face: "Brother, I don't want to eat anything. I'm too tired today. I'm going back to my room to rest. Let the maid bring me dinner." After riding the kite for a long time, and riding the horse for a long time, those who ran around were already exhausted.

"I don't want to eat either. Let the cook clean it up and do it tomorrow. I'm too tired today." Annie rubbed her arm. Today she played with Georgiana all day, and playing with her was more tiring than playing alone. Now, she just wants to finish dinner early and have a good rest, and wait for the cook to prepare the game. She doesn't know how long it will take.

"Well then, we can eat these tomorrow." Mr. Darcy took off his coat and handed it to the servant, walked into the living room, looked around, and asked, "Has Miss Lucy come back yet?"

The valet took the coat and replied: "Yes sir, the valet of Mr. Ferrars' house came to inform me this afternoon. Miss Lucy will not be back until after dinner."

"Since this is the case, let's prepare dinner. Is today's dinner ready?"

"It's ready, sir. Shall I serve it now?"

"Bring it on," nodded Mr. Darcy.

"Joanna, since we don't have to wait for Lucy to come back, let's go back to the room and change." Annie stood up and said.

"Well, I almost fell asleep in the carriage when I came back just now. I want to finish dinner early so I can go back to bed." Georgiana said with a small yawn.

"I almost fell asleep too, and I'm so tired. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have been riding a horse." Annie rubbed her shoulders, and followed Georgiana back to the room.

The three of them just had a quick dinner. Afterwards, Anne and Georgiana sat in the living room for a while and went back to their room to sleep. Mr. Darcy didn't feel too tired. After the two ladies left, he went to the study Handle business.

Annie took a hot bath comfortably, and came out of the bathroom while wiping her hair that was splashed with water. Before she could lie down on the bed, she heard a quick knock on the door, and then Lucy took With some excited voices came from outside the door; "Annie, are you asleep, you will never think of what I saw today, this is simply a happy news, I am so happy, even if you are asleep, I will Come and talk to you."

Annie rolled her eyes helplessly, then lazily shouted out the door: "Come in, the door is unlocked."

"Anne, Anne, Annie, you would never have guessed who I saw at the racetrack today, oh, I'm so happy!" Lucy immediately entered the room excitedly, before she even had time to change her clothes, she looked like The news in her mouth was indeed very happy for her.

Anne didn't want others to hear such news. She glanced at the two maids who could not get out of the bathroom, waved to Lucy, made a gesture of silence, and pointed to the toilet. direction, signaled to her that there was someone inside, and asked her to speak later.

Lucy had endured the news all afternoon. She was eager to share it with Annie, so she ran to the bathroom door and said to the two maids who were slowly folding the bath towels inside, "Put away the dirty clothes." Pack it up and go out first, and I will clean it up later when I go back to my room."

The two maids ran out in a hurry. Lucy jumped on the bed as soon as the door was closed, and said excitedly to Annie: "Annie, I saw Marianne Dasherwood at the racetrack today, you You know, she actually followed a man with a pockmarked face. I asked others, and they told me that Marianne Dasherwood had already agreed to the marriage proposal of that ugly monster. Going to the colonel, but I heard that the annual income is seven or eight thousand pounds, which is enough to support their family! Hahaha, when I think of the disgusting and arrogant look at that time, I feel very happy. At that time, their family looked down on us like that , now, is there anything that can be compared with the two of us sisters."

"No way. With the appearance of Marianne Dasherwood, she can definitely find a better partner. Why would she find someone like this?" Annie said with some doubts.

Lucy curled her lips in disdain, and said gloatingly: "It must be hard to live, I heard that Mrs. Jennings has gone home, and they are now living in a small rented house, Edward Ferra And Si doesn't have a job, so in order for them to stay in London, Marianne Ferrars has to find a man who is willing to pay for her to make some money!"

"Edward Ferrars graduated with good grades, shouldn't he be unable to find a job?" Annie said.

"If he wants to find a job as a lawyer in London, there may be some problems. Robert doesn't want to see him anymore, so he has called all the law firms in London in advance, and those law firms are now full. said Lucy, shrugging.

"If your description of that gentleman is not exaggerated at all, I think that even if they are too poor to go home, Marianne should not look for such a man. With her appearance, there should be many men who are willing to spend money for her. said Annie.

The schadenfreude expression on Lucy's face became even bigger, and she waved her arms with joy and said, "Annie, you probably don't know that her reputation is terrible now, and Miss Gray is trying her best to discredit her." Lucy lowered her voice He raised his voice, and whispered in Anne's ear: "Now everyone knows that Mary Ann Dasherwood has been played by Willoughby. No matter what the gentlemen think behind their backs, they will definitely not like her on the surface."

"Do you believe this kind of thing?" Annie asked in amazement. She knew that Miss Gray was difficult to deal with when she saw Miss Gray before. She never thought that she would release such a rumor, but in the upper class circle, no matter how ugly the rumor is, There are also some, so it is not too much, men will only think that this is just a narrow-mindedness of women.But most people won't believe it.

"It has been proved that Marianne Dasherwood often spent a long time alone with Willoughby when she was in Barton. A decent girl would not be like that. She is really a person. She looked extremely noble at the time." Lucy Said contemptuously.

Marianne Dasherwood is indeed a very annoying person, but it would be a pity if she really chose an ugly monster.Anne felt that this young lady was probably still angry. She was a person whose emotions were above rationality and would always do some irresponsible behaviors, but this was her own choice, and that gentleman was very rich. In some respects, Marianne is not at a disadvantage, and Colonel Brandon only has more than 3000 pounds a year.

Annie sighed as she thought about it, life is so free, she and Lucy never imagined that they would be like this.

"Okay, the exciting news is over, now, dear sister, can you let me have a good rest?" Annie yawned and said.

"Okay, I'll go back right now, I'm really tired today." Lucy kissed Annie goodnight, and then ran out bouncing around.

Anne fell asleep when the maids came back, and didn't wake up until nine o'clock the next morning.Mr. Darcy was back at work in his study when she came down to breakfast.However, Mr. Darcy's work efficiency was a little lower today, and he couldn't concentrate at all. When he picked up his pen, he remembered what Mr. Bingley said to him yesterday.

After ending his relationship with Jane Bennet, Mr. Bingley soon met a nice lady again. The two were well matched, their personalities were also very suitable, and their relationship developed quickly.Although Mr. Bingley's affection for this lady was not as warm as that for Miss Bennet, he felt that he was married enough, and that he might not be able to find a more suitable lady in the future, so he had proposed marriage after the previous ball.

Mr. Bingley intended to marry this autumn, and the lady agreed to the proposal.As a person who is about to get married, Mr. Bingley thought that Mr. Darcy and Anne had known each other for a long time, and their relationship had developed well, so he asked about Mr. Darcy's marriage and when he would get married.

Mr. Darcy didn't think much about this issue before. Although he and Anne had known each other for a long time, the time for them to express their feelings was not long. Anne didn't seem like the kind of impatient person. Thinking about their marriage, it's better to take it slowly.

But Mr. Bingley said that today, and Mr. Darcy couldn't sit still. It didn't make sense that Mr. Bingley was going to get married, but he still had to delay the time, which was completely unnecessary.He and Annie were in love with each other, and they got along very happily. There was no reason for them not to get married soon.

The more Mr. Darcy thought about it, the more he got right, he stood up excitedly, walked quickly to a bookshelf in the study, and took out a small ceramic box from the drawer in the middle of the bookshelf, which contained Darcy's Mrs. West's ring was passed on to his wife by Mrs. Darcy when Mrs. Darcy died. .
