Dear Mr. Darcy [Pride and Prejudice]
Chapter 34
"Have you heard? About Miss Kentra and her fiancé?"
"I was just about to tell you."
"Hey, you all know?"
"Well, they're the most unlucky couple I've ever seen."
"Yes, it's a twist of fate. More dramatic than Romeo and Juliet."
"Pfft, I'm sorry I didn't mean it, but don't you think it's very ridiculous?"
"Ha, I thought I was the only one who felt that way."
Countless ladies and wives whispered to each other, and what happened between Emma and Alvin spread throughout the upper class.
"My poor little Emma." Mrs. Ashley's handkerchief was much wet. "How could such a thing happen? I have lived for 40 years and never heard of it."
Emma lay weakly on the bed, trying to raise her arm to hold Mrs. Ashley's hand, the sleeve slipped down, revealing red spots on her arm. "Auntie, I'm fine."
Mrs. Ashley stared distressedly at Emma's arm. "Is it itchy? Does it hurt?"
Emma shook her head. "It's much better. It was very itchy at first. The doctor asked the maid to keep holding my hand, otherwise scratching will leave scars."
"Oh my God, Emma, fate has treated you so unfairly." Mrs. Ashley dared not touch Emma's arm, and gently stroked the red spots from the air, as if this would make Emma feel better. "Is there no solution?"
Emma smiled wryly. "I'm afraid it's gone. Alvin didn't notice it at the beginning when he returned to China this time, but he always felt severe pain in his head and fingers. After seeing several doctors, he didn't know what was going on. He went to work this time and visited a specialist A doctor with exotic miscellaneous diseases only knew that he was suffering from a disease in India. He insisted on taking medicine to keep healthy, otherwise it might be life-threatening. I was severely allergic to one of the ingredients in the medicine he used, so I shook hands and talked with him After that, I felt short of breath, and my arms were itchy badly, and I realized that there were large red spots. The doctor said that I must stay away from that ingredient to ensure that I don’t get sick again.”
Mrs. Ashley was very distressed, but Emma was too distressed by what had happened to her, and she could not add to Emma's psychological burden.So Mrs. Ashley raised the corners of her mouth, trying to pull out a smile. "It doesn't matter, my dear. The camel hates his ugly hump, but it actually saved his life. What appears to be misfortune may actually be luck. I have always disagreed with the door my brother-in-law ordered you. For marriage, Alvin is a good guy, but he is a soldier and cannot always be by your side. You will meet a gentleman who is better and more suitable for you than him in the future."
Seeing Mrs. Ashley's sad face and racking her brains to comfort her, Emma couldn't help feeling a little guilty. "Auntie, please don't worry about me. No one expected such a thing to happen, but fate has already done so. What we should do is not to question and grieve, but to welcome a new life amid setbacks."
Mrs. Ashley stared at Emma, seeing that Emma's expression and tone were very sincere, and she didn't mean to force a smile, her heart that had been hanging was finally relieved. "It's great that you can think like this. Rest in peace of mind, you have no responsibility for this matter, and no one will blame you."
Of course Emma knew, she had been asking people outside for information.No one thought the two hapless creatures were to blame, but some thought what happened to them was hilarious.Now different versions have started to circulate outside. Alvin greeted her and her face turned into a pig's head in Alvin's exhaled breath... Although Emma didn't want the two of them Any one of them is responsible, but I never thought of becoming a national comedian!It is said that the novelists who have written enough of family grievances, family hatred, and interest entanglements have found a new point of abuse_(:зゝ∠)_
Mrs. Ashley returned to the drawing room, where Mr. Ashley and George sat silently.Mrs. Ashley patted George on the shoulder: "Emma doesn't even have a frown, why do you have such an expression?" Then she turned to her husband and said, "Emma's allergies are much better." In order to avoid irritating the skin (in fact, Emma was afraid that wearing tights would discolor the erythema) her clothes were disheveled, even though she was covered with a quilt, it was temporarily inconvenient for men to visit.
George didn't want to put on a depressed face either, but his heart was heavy and he couldn't laugh. "Emma she was always so strong." He vowed to protect his sister, but was once again powerless over the setbacks Emma was going through.
One sentence made Mrs. Ashley's eyes turn red again, but she held back her tears. "Emma didn't take this matter to heart at all. This marriage was arranged for her by her brother-in-law, and she didn't have much affection for Alvin, so of course she wouldn't feel sad. Emma has a noble status, a rich dowry, and a young and beautiful personality. Well, a wife has already asked me if Emma will break off the engagement in the near future. As a brother, you should think about her earlier."
Hearing this, George perked up. "No problem, I will definitely choose a gentleman who is much better than Elvin Cruise for Emma."
Mrs. Ashley was a little puzzled: "You blame Alvin?"
George snorted, he knew it was wrong for him to be angry with Alvin, but he couldn't help but look at Alvin when he thought that his sister had been hurt because of that kid.
Mrs. Ashley was very pleased.George's defense of Emma is not in vain for Emma's efforts to save George.Originally, she was very dissatisfied with the fact that Emma finally came forward to lure Clark to the study in person.Although Emma and George are brother and sister, after all, Emma and her are more closely connected by blood.In order to save George, Emma took such a big risk to face the enemy, she felt not very good.Today it seems that she was wrong.The siblings support each other and share good and bad, so what does it matter if they are born of the same mother?
Just after afternoon tea, Georgiana and Daisy came to visit Emma again.
Emma was lying on the bed reading a book, and when she heard footsteps outside the door, she immediately stuffed the book into the quilt, showing a weak and energetic smile that she had practiced in front of the mirror for a long time. "You guys here? I feel better today."
Seeing Emma's smile, Georgiana and Daisy felt sour.
Georgiana gently pushed aside the stray hair on Emma's forehead. "If you want us not to worry, take a good rest, read less miscellaneous books, and strive for a speedy recovery."
Emma blinked her eyes. She always felt that the little angel had become more imposing after she found out that she was secretly reading a book and not taking a good rest. Was it her illusion?
Daisy said sadly: "Emma, you are so uncomfortable now, don't comfort us."
Emma blinked again, although she pretended to be a little weak, yes, she wasn't terminally ill, was she?Why do you think Daisy's attitude is a bit too sad, is it her illusion?
Georgiana expressed the question in Emma's heart: "Emma is just a little weak, and she will be fine after a good rest, Daisy, don't worry so much."
Daisy said with tears in her eyes: "Emma could knock down a horse with one punch, but now she can't even sit up. Why is she just a little weak?"
Emma was shocked (⊙⊙) Wait!She seemed to have heard something great.Is the strong man who knocked down a horse talking about her?
Georgiana was also shocked. "When will Emma..."
Daisy was puzzled by their reactions. "When I was saving you, I fainted from fright."
Emma's mouth twitched.She thought Daisy fainted because of the thrilling scene of her jumping over to save people. It turned out that from Daisy's point of view, she jumped over and the horse fell sideways under the impact, as if she knocked the horse over with a punch. The same way, of course Daisy would faint after seeing such an exciting scene.So she has always been such a stalwart image in Daisy's mind?No wonder she wanted to touch Daisy's hair last time and Daisy avoided it. It turned out that Daisy was afraid that she would not be able to bear her light touch_(:зゝ∠)_
Georgiana had no choice but to repeat what happened to Daisy to prove Emma's innocence.
Being so frightened by Daisy, Georgiana's original nervousness was greatly reduced.In fact, Georgiana came today with a mission.Mr. Darcy was away a few days ago, and will be back to-morrow, when he is in London he will certainly hear about Emma and her fiancé.There are a lot of rumors outside, and many people say that Emma and Alvin have decided to break off the engagement, but Georgiana has never heard Emma mention it. She doesn't want her brother to be disappointed after hope, so she wants to test it out today. Look at Emma's attitude.But when the words came to her mouth, Georgiana felt unable to speak. If Emma really wanted to break off the engagement because of this, she must be very painful. Wouldn't she talk about this matter to expose Emma's scars?
The little angel couldn't hide anything on her face, Emma admired her tangled expression for a while, and asked, "Georgianna, what's the matter? Could it be that there is good news about Daisy that you want to tell me?"
Daisy blushed to the point of bleeding, buried her head deeply, and said in a soft voice: "No. Mr. Wall didn't..."
Emma wanted to choose with Georgiana to visit Daisy when Mr. Wall was around, but during this period of time, there were ups and downs, and there was no time to find it. I didn't expect Daisy to be really tempted during this period of time. up?Just pretend to be ill for another three days, and then you must go see that Mr. Wall.
Georgiana hesitated and whispered: "It's not Daisy's business. You, Mr. Cruise..."
There is nothing to hide about this matter. The main reason why Emma has not said so far is that it would be too fake to dissolve the engagement just after discovering the allergy. At least a few more doctors should be found to prove that there is really no way.Now that a few doctors have been found, Emma thinks it's time to reveal something, she sighed: "Oh, my brother and uncle have already found several famous doctors, and they are helpless. My brother has already discussed with Alvin Yes, it will be announced in about two days." No matter how authoritative the doctor is, there is nothing he can do about the patient pretending to be sick. The erythema is drawn with red ink, and it would be hell if it disappeared after drinking the medicine they prescribed ╮(╯﹏ ╰)╭
Georgiana returned to the residence and unexpectedly found that the servant was packing Mr. Darcy's luggage.Back so soon?Georgiana walked upstairs quickly, and as expected, she found Mr. Darcy in the study. He was sitting on a chair in the study in a daze, with a crumpled newspaper in his hand.
"Brother?" Georgiana called cautiously.Such a performance should be due to hearing about Emma and Alvin, right?Mr. Darcy was immersed in his own world and did not find Georgiana coming back. He suddenly heard Georgiana's voice trembling and the newspaper was torn with a crash.In order to cover up the gaffe just now, Mr. Darcy threw the newspaper aside and stood up, his expression became more icy because of embarrassment. "You're back?"
"En." In the past, Georgiana would have been scared by such a brother and dared not speak, but now she thinks such a brother is not scary at all. "Daisy and I went to visit Emma today. You may not know it when you just came back. Emma was seriously allergic to the medicine that Mr. Cruise must take and fell ill." Although Mr. Darcy came back early, he knew that Emma After the dissolution of the engagement was settled, Georgiana began to rehearse in her mind how to convey the news to Mr. Darcy as naturally as possible, so that the subject changed smoothly. "Oh, Emma is so pitiful. Several famous doctors can't do anything about it. I'm afraid they will announce the dissolution of the engagement in a few days."
Mr. Darcy said with a deadpan face and a flat voice: "It's unfortunate."
How is this reaction?Georgiana stole a few glances at Mr. Darcy. Mr. Darcy was still the same, and Georgiana dared not look again, lest Mr. Darcy notice something. "Brother, I'm going back to my room to rest."
Mr. Darcy nodded. "go to bed early."
Georgiana closed the door of the study and walked a few steps, feeling a little uneasy, and walked back lightly and pushed the door open a crack.Mr. Darcy was still standing there, frowning slightly, his expression was a little worried, and then he gradually showed a smile that he couldn't hide."It shouldn't be," he muttered to himself, all expression gone.
The author has something to say: Tell me aloud, is this reason for breaking the engagement so good that it cannot be refuted at all? = ̄ω ̄=
small theater:
George: Fitzwilliam, the dissolution of the engagement is a foregone conclusion.I am now looking for a better candidate for Emma.First of all he must be an upright gentleman.
Mr. Darcy nodded.He had a clear conscience about everything except the immorality of being in love with Emma.
George: Second he must have status and wealth.
Mr. Darcy nodded.Ten thousand pounds a year is enough, and he can always get a seat in the House of Commons if necessary.
George: He has to be tall and good-looking.
Mr. Darcy stood up, straightened his back, and tried to smile a handsome and charming smile.
George: Well, where do you find such a person?By the way, what do you think of Colonel Fitzwilliam?
Mr. Darcy (black face): You should have your eyesight checked.
"I was just about to tell you."
"Hey, you all know?"
"Well, they're the most unlucky couple I've ever seen."
"Yes, it's a twist of fate. More dramatic than Romeo and Juliet."
"Pfft, I'm sorry I didn't mean it, but don't you think it's very ridiculous?"
