Pride and Prejudice Becoming Jane Bennet

Mr. Darcy was still very emotional after leaving the vicarage. He was annoyed by Jane's calm attitude when she refused him, annoyed that she said her proposal was impulsive and therefore "must refuse", and surprised that she knew that she was involved in breaking up Bingley and her sister Elizabeth, shocked by her accusations of her actions and her last shocking speech.

He thought of the aura of Jane's last words, which he had never seen before, and he never imagined that Jane, who is always gentle and elegant, who almost completely fits the judgment of ladies in this era, would have a feeling in his heart. Such thoughts erupted in such a violent form, which greatly impacted his own thoughts and cognition of Jane himself.He wanted to walk in front of Jane and ask her why such a thought came into her beautiful head. He also thought that Jane had rejected him and said "I don't want to see you again", and felt that he couldn't. He couldn't face her so easily.

Mr. Darcy walked with complicated thoughts like this for a long time, until he came back to his senses, he found that he was walking along the route that Jane loved the most, and it was also the route that he met Jane most often. The excuse he used at the time was that he wanted to breathe fresh air, but now it has been a long time since he came out of Rosings Manor.

Mr. Collins and his party had left by the time he returned to Rosings Manor, and Lady Catherine, upon hearing footsteps in the hall, told Colonel Fitzwilliam to see who was coming.

"Darcy!" said Colonel Fitzwilliam as soon as he came out of the drawing room and saw Mr. Darcy, "where have you been, and why have you been there for so long? Mr. Collins and others have all gone."

"I'm sure they won't mind that I don't see them off," said Mr. Darcy perfunctorily.

Seeing his cousin's expression, he suddenly remembered that he and Jane had a great conversation every time they met, and he also showed his admiration for that young lady in several private conversations with him, so he finally calmed down a little His emotions began to fluctuate uncontrollably, and he thought of Jane's rejection and accusation against him, and he couldn't help becoming more irritable. Before he could say a word, he turned around and walked upstairs.

Colonel Fitzwilliam looked at his cousin's disturbed appearance strangely, and couldn't help asking: "Are you unwell, Darcy?"

"I'm fine, thank you," said Mr. Darcy quickly. "I just..."

He hesitated, then turned to his cousin and said, "Fitzwilliam, remember that I told you that I interfered in Bingley's marriage to a lady?"

Colonel Fitzwilliam looked at his cousin in surprise, and said, "I do remember...but that's not what you said at the time...do you now feel that you are interfering with your friend's feelings?"

"Also?" Mr. Darcy could not help frowning.

"Yes," said Colonel Fitzwilliam, "Miss Bennet thinks so."

Mr. Darcy finally understands how Jane learned that he prevented Mr. Bingley from feeling in love with Elizabeth.

"What's the matter, Darcy?" asked Colonel Fitzwilliam, looking at his cousin's annoyed expression. "What happened?"

"Nothing," returned Mr. Darcy quickly; "it just occurred to me while I was walking."

Colonel Fitzwilliam smiled a little, and asked again: "Would you like to play pool, Darcy?"

"No, thank you," said Mr. Darcy, looking at him. "I beg your pardon. . . I have something urgent . . . I must write a letter."

At this time, Lady Catherine's voice came from the drawing room. Hearing the sound of footsteps, she was walking towards the front hall.With a quick glance in that direction, Mr. Darcy said to his cousin, "My apologies to Lady Catherine, Fitzwilliam."

Then he quickly ran upstairs and disappeared around the corner of the stairs.

……

Mr. Darcy ran into his room in one breath and closed the door. He felt that the churning emotions in his chest did not subside at all, but tended to intensify. He stood there for a long time before thinking of what he should do.He took a few steps to the desk, took out the letter paper and quill from the drawer, and began to write vigorously.

"Dear Miss Bennet..." he wrote.

He suddenly stopped, staring at the words he wrote down, and he suddenly realized that he was not qualified to call Jane "Dear Miss Bennet", which made him frowned fiercely, and said irritably He crumpled the letter paper and threw it aside.

He wrote a few times, and he just wrote a title of Jane a few times, and he couldn't write any more. He couldn't call Jane "Dear Miss Bennet" according to his own mind, and he couldn't let himself call Jane "Dear Miss Bennet". "Miss" at the beginning, after writing waste letter paper a few times, he dropped the pen angrily, stood up all of a sudden, and paced back and forth in the room like a trapped animal.

On the other hand, Jane's situation is not so good.After Mr. Darcy left, she stood there for a long time, the sudden anger was still burning in her body, so she didn't notice when Mr. Darcy left.Her heart was extremely chaotic, she seemed to be thinking about a lot of things at once, and it seemed like none of them went to her heart. When the anger subsided slowly, all the strength in her body seemed to be taken away. Sitting down in the armchair, I felt extremely weak, and even shed tears in a daze.The shock and joy brought to her by the moment Mr. Darcy confided his heart to her made her unable to ignore her own heart any longer.

"I love him!" Jane murmured dazedly, "I've always loved him!"

All kinds of things since she met Mr. Darcy in Hertfordshire are like a revolving lantern in front of her eyes, and finally freezes the disappointed and shocked face of Mr. Darcy before he leaves. The husband's feelings have changed, from the initial scrutiny and wait-and-see, to admiration, and then to admiration, but she herself has never recognized her true thoughts.

What a surprise that Mr. Darcy would propose to her, but now it seems that everything seems to be traceable.Jane also noticed that Mr. Darcy treated her differently, but she always thought it was because of the relationship between her sister and his good friend Mr. Hunter, or because his cousin had admiration for her, or because His cousin has a deep friendship with him, which makes him more affectionate to himself than others.

She closed her eyes sadly, thinking of Mr. Darcy's destruction of her sister's happiness and her contempt for her family, she couldn't bear to be even more sad.She was acutely aware of how inconceivable it would be for a person in such a high position to treat his inferiors with equality and respect in such an era, even in her own time, most people could not do that , let alone in such a world with such a clear hierarchy, but her self-esteem will not allow her to allow her lover to belittle her family and despise her relatives because of love...

"It's over..." she said to herself, "It's over."

……

When Jane woke up the next morning, those thoughts of yesterday flooded into Jane's mind again. These thoughts and thoughts tormented her for almost a night, making her listless early in the morning. The faces of the other people in the parsonage were all taken aback.

"You are so pale, Jane," said Charlotte, as soon as she saw her. "Does your head still ache?"

"No, my head doesn't hurt anymore." Jane replied, "I'm just hungry and need to replenish my strength, and I've stayed in the house for too long, so I need to go out to get some air."

"Eat more breakfast, you'll be better," said Mrs. Collins, "add a shawl when you go out later, it's a bit windy today."

But Jane really didn't have an appetite, so she barely ate a little, said goodbye to the Collins couple and Maria, and went out.

It was a clear morning, the sun had just risen, and there was still a mist in the woods. Jane was walking aimlessly in the woods, and gradually felt that her heart began to become as light as a white cloud, like the sun today Generally bright and clear, she exhaled the turbid air accumulated in her chest and abdomen, and felt that the whole person was much lighter.

She began to think about whether to go to that favorite path again, but then it suddenly occurred to her that this route was the route she met Mr. Darcy most often, and she was not ready to face him again, so So he stopped walking and didn't go that way, but walked on a small road next to Rosings Manor, walked slowly along the fence of the manor while admiring the gradually changing green leaves, when he came to a garden gate She hadn't enjoyed the tranquility of being alone enough, so she wanted to continue walking, but at this moment, she suddenly found a gentleman pacing with his back to her in the small forest next to the manor.

Jane was a little worried that it was Mr. Darcy. Although this route was the least she took, she always had the feeling that Mr. Darcy could keep track of her movements at any time—if he wanted to touch her, he could touch her .

Seeing that the gentleman hadn't noticed her yet, Jane planned to quickly bypass him under the cover of the bushes.At first she did succeed, but when she came to a place where the bushes were sparse, she heard someone calling her behind, and that voice was Mr. Darcy!

Her footsteps paused, and she didn't know what to do for a moment, should she pretend not to hear and walk away quickly, or face him?But at this time, Mr. Darcy had already walked quickly to her side, so she had to choose the latter plan.

"Mr. Darcy," said Jane, turning, with a quick glance at him.

She put her eyes on Mr. Darcy's complicated bow tie, and studied how to tie the tie, so that her emotions that had finally calmed down would not fluctuate again.

"I've been walking around here for a long time, hoping to meet you," Jane heard Mr. Darcy say.

"I know you don't want to see me, so I'll be leaving soon..." he went on. "My cousin and I will go to the Vicarage to say good-bye to them in a moment."

Jane froze for a moment, but still didn't raise her head.

"Perhaps you would like to walk a little longer?" said Mr. Darcy, looking at her. "Perhaps you would do me the honor of reading this letter?"

He handed the letter he had held in his hand to Jane.

Jane moved her eyes down and saw the flowing writing on the envelope. She felt that her calm heart was beating uncontrollably. She pursed her lips and put her hand on the letter, wanting to take it come over.

But, to her surprise, Mr. Darcy, who should have put down his hand when she got the letter, still held the letter in his hand and remained motionless.

Jane couldn't help but looked up at Mr. Darcy in surprise, which made Jane startled for a while.She stared at Mr. Darcy's dark brown eyes, and saw clearly the complex and deep feelings revealed in those eyes without any hindrance, which made her heart beat violently, as if it was going to jump out violently. Her chest is average.

She just stared at Mr. Darcy in a daze, and suddenly found that Mr. Darcy leaned towards her, and the distance between them suddenly shrunk even closer!

Jane was terrified, her eyes widened, and she stood there motionless as if someone had fixed him, watching Mr. Darcy's actions, but just when Jane thought the gentleman in front of her was going to do something, he Suddenly put down his hand, took a step back, bowed to Jane, turned around quickly and walked away.
