[Comprehensive Classics] Detective Mary

Fortunately, what Mary was most worried about did not happen, and the entire Pemberley Manor calmly ushered in the long-awaited wedding.

Mr. Darcy's land is no better than Netherfield, after all, it's not at the door of his own house. No matter how anxious Mrs. Bennet gets angry, she doesn't go around the room like Jane and Bingley getting married, disturbing everyone's peace.

But Mary woke up early in the morning.

She and Elizabeth lived in the same room. The second sister, who was about to get married, didn't get a good night's rest. Mary felt that she tossed and turned all night, and finally took a nap at dawn, and got up early again.

"Don't be nervous."

Mary walked to the dressing table dumbfounded, and took Elizabeth's shoulders: "My good sister, you are always the calmest Miss Bennet in the family, if you get nervous, will you scare our mother to death?" ?”

"What you said sounds nice."

Elizabeth glared at Mary: "I don't want to, but..."

But it's the first time for a young girl to get on a sedan chair, let alone this is the only time in her life.

"Okay."

Mary comforted: "Thinking about Mr. Darcy's busy schedule during this time, don't you still trust his abilities? Besides, everyone attended Jane's wedding. It's actually not as difficult as you think. Holding Dad's hand Just go into church and take the oath with the gentleman you love."

This is true.

Among other things, since Elizabeth agreed to Darcy's marriage proposal, Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy, who finally got the nod of true love, began to think about the wedding almost immediately.

He has a thoughtful personality and is a man of action rather than rhetoric.

Some guys slack off after winning a girl's heart, but not Darcy.He took the upcoming wedding very seriously, not only actively planning everything, but also asking Elizabeth for her opinions and ideas.In the communication of trivial matters, instead of disagreement, the two people talked more and more sweetly.

Thinking of her fiancé's handsome face and upright attitude, most of Elizabeth's nervousness was relieved.

To say that when Elizabeth agreed to Mr. Darcy's marriage proposal, Elizabeth was somewhat uneasy, but during the process of the two discussing the specific matters of the wedding, these uneasiness had been slowly and slowly put to the back of her mind.

He respects himself so much and is willing to accommodate his shortcomings and inadequacies. What doubts does Elizabeth have?

Not only did she not doubt it, on the contrary, Elizabeth was also willing to treat him with the same respect and admiration, so that she could spend her whole life as equals to each other.

"You're right," Elizabeth said, "we've been preparing for so long, we can't mess everything up just because I'm nervous."

"So, the bride has to walk into the church looking good."

Mary smiled and said, "I'll call Jane over, where are your wedding dress and bouquet?"

In view of the fact that the Bennet family has already experienced the wedding of the eldest daughter, although this wedding is more grand and beautiful than Jane's, Mrs. Bennet, who was taken aback, did not do any unforgivable embarrassing things. .

Mr. Bennet led his second daughter into church, and gave her hand to another gentleman, who was a respectable and rich man.Is there anything better than this?

Mary, standing in front of the church, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

To say that Jane's wedding made her ecstatic, Elizabeth's wedding was joyful and at the same time relieved.

Some people say that feelings need twists and turns to become profound, but Mary feels that this is definitely not the case with Elizabeth and Darcy-does it have to be obstructed by villains to be considered "profound".

After all, in the original book, Elizabeth’s misunderstanding that Mr. Darcy is an insidious villain does not come from Mr. Darcy’s own performance, but from Wickham’s obstruction, splashing Darcy’s sewage for no reason.

Now that Wickham's bad words are gone, Mary fears that some other villain will appear, despite Elizabeth's early awareness of her prejudice against Darcy.

Fortunately not.

Seeing Elizabeth's beautiful face, Mr. Darcy's rare smile, and the male and female guests present, Mary felt very moved.

Is there anything in the world more worthy of joy than the happiness of loved ones?

Mary's good mood lasted until the two couples took their oaths and the wedding was over.

It was not only Elizabeth’s relatives and friends who came to Pemberley Manor to attend the wedding, but also Mr. Darcy’s, as well as the mutual friends of the bride and groom—Elizabeth’s friend Charlotte, and her husband, the cousin of the Bennet sisters. Brother Collins.

Naturally, Mr. Collins' "golden thigh", Mrs. Catherine of Rosings Manor, accompanied him.

In the original novel, Mrs. Catherine is noisy and arrogant, superior and extremely superficial. She always regards Mr. Darcy as her future son-in-law, and completely ignores country girls like Elizabeth.

Mary was in Milton when Elizabeth was a guest at Rosings Manor. Of course, she had never seen the original scene, let alone Lady Catherine.

But when the wedding was over and everyone walked out of the church, Mary heard a lady chattering: "I have long wanted to see who this Miss Elizabeth is. She can capture William's heart. However, it is somewhat beautiful, but it is not to the point of overwhelming the country."

"Yes," Collins echoed behind, "although today is a happy event for my cousin, I think you are quite right, ma'am, Elizabeth is not all over the world. You must have seen so many decent ladies. number one."

"Compared to other ladies!"

Madam Catherine raised her voice slightly: "This is too rude, Pastor Collins, all the ladies I know have titles!"

Mary: "..."

Before Madam Catherine finished speaking, she even turned her head to look at Sherlock Holmes who was just passing by: "Ah, little Mr. Holmes, what do you think?"

Mary: "..."

The detective raised his eyebrows when he was stopped, but he just nodded while holding his cane: "Mrs. Catherine."

"It's been a long time since I saw you," Lady Catherine said. "It's not a respectable job to hear that you're a detective in London. How is your lord? Why didn't they come?"

"My mother had a cold, so she asked me to attend William's wedding," Holmes replied.

"Where's your brother?"

"He has another job in London."

"It's a pity, what kind of work is more important than marriage," Madam Catherine said with a playful humor, "You and your brother are both single, and William's wedding is obviously a good opportunity to find a good match—of course It must be a lady invited by William. The woman’s family is really not up to the table. A decent gentleman like you should be matched with a lady with a rich family and decent parents. What do you think, Mr. Holmes?”

Sherlock Holmes laughed out loud.

The corner of the young detective's mouth curled up, and a look of ridicule and pity appeared on his sharp face.

"That's not necessarily true, Lady Catherine," he said bluntly, "if the family is rich and empty-headed, marrying home is nothing more than moving back a scarecrow in beautiful clothes. How about a good match?"

"Varied--"

Oh my goodness.

If Miss Morstan had been present, she would have laughed directly on Mary with her stomach in her hands.

Lady Catherine is not good to provoke anyone, but she must provoke Sherlock Holmes, and say what is right.Mary felt that the detective's answer was already very face-saving, and it could be called polite!

"Lady Catherine, Cousin Collins," Mary suppressed a smile and walked forward with a dazed expression, "I just heard from other ladies that Elizabeth is going to throw bouquets soon, why don't you go and have a look? "

"I—you—"

Lady Catherine still had an unbelievable expression. She stared at Holmes for a while, and finally walked away in anger, regardless of whether she held flowers or not.

Holmes just smiled when she saw her go.

Mary: "And you, sir, are you going to see Elizabeth throwing her bouquet?"

Holmes glanced down at Mary, and his four eyes met. His indifferent expression moved slightly, and the sarcasm disappeared immediately: "Laugh if you want, Miss Mary."

Mary finally couldn't help it, and laughed out loud.

"I don't care about you, detective," she said with a smile, "I'm going to join in the fun!"

Lady Catherine had no one to speak ill of, but Sherlock Holmes.

Mary couldn't help it at all. She wanted to laugh when she thought of the look of pity on the detective's face just now, as if he looked at a mentally handicapped child.

To tell the truth, if Sherlock Holmes had not been present, Mary would have been mortified at hearing Lady Catherine's sarcastic remarks.She didn't have the courage to contradict Lady Catherine as an unmarried country lady, but Holmes never cared whether the status was suitable or not.

The smile on her face was so bright that Catherine and Lydia, who were eagerly preparing to snatch the bouquet, were surprised.

"Why are you so happy?" Catherine was puzzled. "Before Jane got married, I have never seen you so keen on grabbing bouquets."

"Where is she not keen?" Lydia snorted coldly, "She has always liked to join in the fun."

"But last time I didn't..."

Catherine half-spoken and covered her mouth in surprise: "Does Mary have someone she likes?"

Mary: "If you are so busy paying attention to me, Elizabeth will lose her flowers soon and you won't be able to see them——Good Lizzie, your two younger sisters are at the back right, don't take advantage of outsiders!"

As usual, her booing resulted in complaints from the other ladies. On such occasions, even the most respectable ladies would inevitably get angry, and when they heard Mary talking about the right rear, they all ran over in one go.

Taking advantage of the noisy scene, Mary deftly dodged past the crowd and retreated into the distance.

"Okay."

Before Mary could stop, she heard her father's voice behind her.

"I caused trouble, but I ran away," Mr. Bennet laughed. "It seems that you were afraid that you would get a bouquet, and you married off early."

"..."

"Why, was I right?"

Seeing that Mary was silent, Mr. Bennet continued to tease: "I see you are busy, but you are enjoying it. In a few days, do you plan to go to London to rent a suitable apartment?"

Mary: "Uh."

It was really hit by my father!

She was taken aback, but Mary quickly realized that this was a good time to talk to Dad about moving.

The author has something to say: Mary: 0 mouth 0 How did Dad know? !

Mr. Bennet: Well, your father is your father after all.
