[Pride and Prejudice] Mary's Pride and Prejudice

Chapter 58 Let’s Shame Yourself ([-])

Mrs. Bennet seemed to be strangled by someone. She drank some sherry and stared at Mary in disbelief with drunken eyes: "What did you say?"

"That's what you just heard, and I won't repeat it, because you've gotten carried away. What would Mr. Bingley think of our family if he knew what you said?"

"Their business is settled, and people are talking about it."

"But the nail hasn't been hammered in yet, and, just because everyone else is talking about it, we have to be reserved."

"Come on, Mary, Mr. Bingley has fallen in love with Jane, deeply in love, and he will definitely propose to her tonight, tomorrow at the latest."

Mary took a deep look at her mother: "It seems that we don't need to talk about mother." She stood up and walked towards Mr. Bingley, and Mrs. Bennet immediately stood up and grabbed her. "What are you going to do?"

"Slap Mr. Bingley, give him a few slaps in the face or throw a drink in his face, so that in the future people will blame me for being rude and rude, not our mother for being shallow."

Mary made gestures and walked towards the place where Mr. Bingley and Jane were sitting. She stopped a waiter, picked up a glass of rum on the tray, and then threatened to leave. Mrs. Bennet was stunned, and Elizabeth rushed to stop him. She, at the same time, begged Mrs. Bennet in a low voice: "Mother, please, promise Mary, or our family will lose face tonight."

Seeing that she couldn't get rid of Elizabeth, Mary put the wine glass on the table with a "snap", grabbed the edge of the table with both hands, and seemed to lift it up.

Mrs. Bennet hugged her immediately: "Don't do this, Mary, Mr. Bingley will be angry, think about Jane, you must not hinder her lifelong happiness."

"Will you shut up?"

"Yes, yes, I promise not to say it, I will maintain my arrogance, I promise, I promise."

Mary stopped and looked at her suspiciously: "Will you never show off to others before Mr. Bingley proposes?"

"Yes, yes, I promise." Mrs. Bennet was really afraid that this stubborn and eccentric daughter would scare away her fast-paced son-in-law, and now she would agree to any conditions Mary put forward, but Mary knew very well that she would do whatever she wanted. The reason for accepting.

She sat down again and said to her mother who was full of trepidation: "Tonight, you can only talk about clothes and jewelry with other ladies. If someone makes fun of Jane, you can just pretend that you don't understand, or just nod and smile. gone."

Mrs. Bennet said angrily, "You don't know how to be considerate of mother at all!"

"That's because you don't think about your daughters at all! In public, you call your unengaged daughter Mrs. So-and-so, and casually say that she is going to marry into a wealthy family. If the marriage fails in the future, how can other families laugh at us? "

Mrs. Bennet wanted to say more, and Mary reminded her: "Think how you used to laugh at Miss Wells!"

Mrs. Wells vowed that she would marry her daughter into the Lawrence family, but she did not get engaged to her well-born cousin, Mr. Lawrence. For this reason, Mrs. Bennet often gossiped behind Mrs. Wells' back, thinking that Wells Miss is too frivolous.

"And Miss Taylor."

Mrs. Bennet was utterly annoyed that Mrs. Taylor was so self-righteous as Miss Taylor, bragging about how popular Miss Taylor was in London, but she didn't marry herself that season either, and she did laugh at the mother and daughter, so now He wants to be ruled by others.But now she doesn't dare Mary to lose her temper, so she has to sulk herself. She really likes to laugh at people behind their backs, but she doesn't think these people will have the opportunity to take revenge, but Mary is blatantly threatening her now, if she is a little careless tonight , Mr. Bingley's engagement to Jane failed, and those who were laughed at by her on the spot will definitely have the opportunity to laugh at her in turn.

Mrs. Bennet was very angry, but she couldn't do it, so she had to keep a dark face all night. Among the daughters, she didn't like Elizabeth the least, because this daughter always made her angry.But now she decides to dislike Mary the least, and she will never say a word to Mary when she dies. Mary will regret it at that time. Thinking of the scene where Mary will cry uncontrollably at her funeral, she She will definitely repent her whole life in front of her mother's tombstone, and her conscience will be troubled for the rest of her life. Thinking of this, Mrs. Bennet feels more relieved.

Mr. Darcy witnessed the whole process, which certainly aroused his love for Elizabeth, but he was more determined to think that the words and deeds of Elizabeth's relatives were vulgar. Although Mary had just stopped Mrs. Bennet from embarrassing herself, her behavior No manners either.

Mr. Darcy pretended to take a walk and walked outside the restaurant. There were a few young girls and boys who had sneaked out to dance the Scotch dance. Dance is so polite.

Mr. Darcy's frown became tighter, because among the girls were Elizabeth's two little sisters, Kitty and Lydia.Of course, running here to dance does not mean that they are uneducated. When Elizabeth was a guest at Nathanfield, Darcy wanted to invite Elizabeth to dance together.But now Mr. Darcy is in a bad mood. He has fantasized countless times that it would be good if Elizabeth came from a high society. Because they hindered their own happiness, they especially disliked the rest of the Bennet family, and tried their best to find faults in them.He thought Mrs. Bennet was vulgar, Miss Mary was too outrageous and straightforward, and the two young Miss Bennet laughed too much, talked too much, behaved less dignified, and acted a little frivolously. He found all the faults in these two ladies, and compared with the others, these two ladies especially disgusted him.

If Mary knew what Mr. Darcy was thinking now, she might be so angry that she would be wronged, and she would turn black on the male god fan on the spot.

In the past two years, Kitty and Lydia have been strictly demanded. Although they are still a little frivolous, it is a common problem among the ladies in the neighborhood. Their behavior among these ladies is like rainwater falling into a pond. It is not unusual at all, but it is a pity. When he met Mr. Darcy who was so picky and difficult to serve, he even disliked the whole pond. He had picked all over Elizabeth's sisters tonight, and even Mary was considered rude and grumpy by him.

But soon Darcy discovered another annoying relative of Elizabeth——Mr. Collins. This inexplicable gentleman ran to him for some inexplicable self-recommendation, which was of course a very presumptuous faux pas. And then he kept flattering Mr. Darcy, and mentioned his aunt, Lady Catherine from time to time.Mr. Collins groveled to him again and again, thinking he was courting him, but Mr. Darcy was useless at all. Most of his relatives had high social status, but about his aunt, he felt no better than Bennett. The wife's character is much better, but because of her social status, no one dares to laugh at her.

Mr. Darcy perfunctory Collins a few words, but Mr. Collins did not give up, intending to continue the endless chat, wanting to show how much he is valued by Lady Catherine, and how much he respects and loves his benefactor , based on the above two points, how much he should have some closeness to Mr. Darcy beyond ordinary people.Mr. Darcy couldn't take it anymore. Since he came to Meriton, he felt that this place was unbearable for him. Now he finally met the most uncomfortable person. What's more frightening is that he will definitely stay in another place after he leaves here in the future. A place he has to go to meet this guy!Mrs. Catherine really has a unique eye, and she actually selected such a talent. He seems to be tailor-made for that arrogant and mean aunt!

Mr. Darcy was lucky, and when Mr. Collins bowed to him again after another compliment, he turned his head and left decisively.On the way, he came face to face with Elizabeth again, and he turned sideways to make way for the person he liked. When Elizabeth passed him, he said softly: "I'm sorry..." But the girl in his heart seemed to be He didn't hear it, and he said softly to her back again: "I'm sorry..."

The lingering rhyme of the syllables disappeared in the hustle and bustle around, arousing Mr. Darcy's infinite melancholy.

Elizabeth didn't know what kind of mood ups and downs Mr. Darcy experienced for her tonight. Although her mood was ups and downs tonight, she was always good at controlling her emotions and was willing to have fun for herself. In addition, she and Banner Mrs. Tate shared the opinion that Jane's relationship with Mr. Bingley was bound to blossom, and the rest of the evening was therefore very pleasant.

Several officers invited her to dance, and she took the opportunity of inquiring about Mr. Wickham, who was said by his colleagues and friends to be a pleasant, charming gentleman, and a pleasant gentleman.This made Elizabeth feel better, and she once again confirmed the idea that Mr. Darcy had failed Mr. Wickham. Mr. Darcy must be a despicable villain, and Mr. Wickham must be a noble gentleman.

But her idea was opposed by Jane. Jane had already asked Mr. Bingley. Although Mr. Bingley didn't know what happened, he was sure that Mr. Wickham should have done something to lose Mr. Darcy. Huan Xin, losing his teaching position is simply what he deserved.

This did not convince Elizabeth at all. Mr. Wickham told the cause and effect of the matter very clearly, but Mr. Darcy only ambiguous here, so it is clear at a glance which is right and which is wrong?

But Jane leaned on the side of her sweetheart: "If a person has a bad character, how can he deceive his closest friend? Mr. Bingley is a magnanimous gentleman, so his friend Mr. Darcy cannot be treacherous. "

"This sentence is indeed applicable to other people, but in my opinion, Mr. Bingley is similar to your personality. I have never heard you say a bad word about others. If someone becomes your friend, it will be a blessing. La."

Jane wanted to make some excuses for Mr. Darcy, but at this time there was a loud noise in the dining room, as if the table had fallen, and then she heard the sound of the tableware falling to the ground and smashing into pieces.

Elizabeth's face turned pale all of a sudden, and she wondered if her mother made Mary anxious, and Mary really turned the table over?

She didn't care about Jane anymore, and rushed into the dining room, only to find a scene that surprised her

The author has something to say:
