Pride and Prejudice Becoming Jane Bennet

Jane caught a big fish and immediately attracted everyone's attention. Even Mr. and Mrs. Hurst couldn't hold back their curiosity and came down to look at it—they had been sitting on the grass for a long time, Because there is no one to talk to them, they have long been bored.

Seeing that Jane, a novice, can catch fish, Mr. Hurst couldn't help becoming interested in this activity. He felt that with his own fishing experience, he would definitely be able to gain a lot, and because of Mrs. Hurst's instigation , so I decided to give it a try myself.

They soon joined the line of fishing, and sat down between the spots where Jane and Mr. Darcy, and Mr. and Mrs. Weston, were fishing.Mr. and Mrs. Weston, Mr. Bingley and Miss Darcy also quickly left the vicinity of Jane and Mr. Darcy. Now that they have watched the big fish and satisfied their curiosity, they plan to do it themselves, maybe It makes everyone happy to catch one.Only Miss Bingley, whose purpose of coming here was not to see the fish, saw that everyone was about to disperse, so she said: "Oh, it seems that the fish are coming to your side! I was just now I didn’t catch a single fish over there, but Georgiana caught two, but they were all small fish... Mr. Darcy, Miss Bennet, you don’t mind if I try my luck in this place?”

"You are welcome, Miss Bingley," said Mr. Darcy, and he held out his hand to Jane, beckoning her to follow him to another place.

Of course, Miss Bingley couldn't let Mr. Darcy do what he wanted. Seeing that he was going to move with Jane, she hurriedly said: "Mr. Darcy, can you tell me the trick of fishing? Charles is a good brother, but he is not a good brother." A good fishing teacher."

Both Mr. Darcy and Jane are well aware of Miss Bingley's purpose, but since she has already spoken in this way, Mr. Darcy can only stay.

Seeing that her plan was successful, Miss Bingley was very proud of herself, so she asked Mr. Darcy more and more vigorously about every detail of fishing, but she was not a good student—she always wanted to show herself when she cast her pole. Elegant movements and a well-proportioned figure always look unnatural, and the landing point of the buoy is always wrong. Fortunately, there are no trees behind the point where they are standing now, otherwise there will be more than that little trouble.

Jane didn't care about Miss Bingley's attention to Mr. Darcy, but felt helpless and amused by her eagerness to show.After Mr. Darcy helped her put on the bait, she sat down to fish by herself. While Miss Bingley and Howie were struggling with throwing their poles, she had already caught several small and large fish, and all of them were caught by the servants. , Put it into the fish bucket on the side.

She looked at Miss Bingley and Mr. Darcy at the side, and found that Miss Bingley seemed to have finally found herself and gained something, and she felt that she could not be compared, so the posture of this swing was quite impressive. So, and the result was good, the buoy she threw this time finally landed on the water at a suitable distance from the shore.

Mr. Darcy obviously breathed a sigh of relief, walked back to Jane's side, looked at the fish bucket beside him, and couldn't help but hook his lips.

"You always amaze me, Miss Bennet," said he, "with such rapidity in your mastery of a skill that many gentlemen would be overwhelmed by your gains."

Jane smiled and said: "Thanks to your guidance, Mr. Darcy. I am really lucky today. This trout pond is simply a paradise for anglers."

Mr. Darcy looked at her and smiled. He wanted to say something else, but at this moment Mr. Bingley and Miss Darcy came over together. It turned out that Miss Darcy was tired from fishing and came to find Jane and go back to the lawn together. Take a break and have a little refreshment.

Jane's fishing is just a taste of the early adopters, and she doesn't have the hope of being able to catch fish, but now she has gained a lot, and she has long been satisfied, and she really feels that she should drink a little wine and eat a little something, so she agreed very happily Miss Darcy's request.

Seeing that Jane and Miss Darcy were going back, Mrs. Weston also came over, and she had already gained something, catching the biggest fish she had ever caught, and she was satisfied at this moment.

When these were gone, only the gentlemen and the Bingley sisters remained on the bank of the trout-pond.Seeing that Jane left, Mr. Bingley felt that Jane's previous fishing spot was very good, and wanted to get her luck, so he stopped there.But his behavior did not suit his sister, Miss Bingley—Miss Bingley thought that Jane would leave at last, and she could be alone with Mr. Darcy, but her brother sat down at this stall. next to them.

"Oh, Charles," she said, "you've got all the fish here!"

"I dare not do it!" said Mr. Bingley. "Caroline, the fish is on your hook!"

Miss Bingley didn't take her brother's words seriously at first, but she followed Mr. Bingley's line of sight and really saw the red buoy sink.She quickly lifted the rod up, but fortunately she didn't waste too much time, and she really caught a small trout.

Miss Bingley looked at the fish, raised her eyebrows, and said to Mr. Darcy, "This fish is really small, don't you think, Mr. Darcy?"

Mr. Darcy looked at her, and nodded.

"Can such a small fish make any good food?" asked Miss Bingley again.

But Mr. Darcy didn't seem to hear her question, and just stared silently at the water in front of him, looking at the buoys in the water.Mr. Bingley waited for a long time without hearing a reply. He looked at Mr. Darcy and then at his sister. He mistook Miss Bingley for asking himself, so he said, "Pemberley's cook will find a way. Yes, Caroline, didn't you also say that the cooks here are better than anywhere else?"

"Oh, indeed," said Miss Bingley, looking at Mr. Darcy, but Mr. Darcy did not agree.

For the next period of time, Miss Bingley tried her best to talk to Mr. Darcy, but Mr. Darcy always listened half-heard. If her question was not named, it would be difficult to get him to say something. A word—it was usually Mr. Bingley who answered her.

Miss Bingley soon became bored, firstly because she had been unsuccessful in making conversation, and secondly because she hadn't caught any fish for a long time. She looked at the people sitting on the lawn resting, and found that Jane I was having a good time talking with Miss Darcy and Mrs. Weston, but I was even more unhappy in my heart.She herself and Miss Darcy had known each other for a month before they could call each other by their Christian names, and their usual conversation had never been so lively. She felt that Miss Darcy's kindness to Jane must have been ordered by her brother to let her be with Jane. make friends.

She looked at those people and thought for a while, then finally threw the fishing rod and said, "I give up! It seems that I am destined to only catch so many fish today."

She was talking, turned her head again, and said to Mr. and Mrs. Hearst: "Louisa, do you want to go back and sit?"

"Oh, of course, Caroline," said Mrs. Hurst, "that's what I was about to tell you!"

The two sisters left the river, went to the picnic table and asked the servant to fill the wine and tea, and then immediately joined the three ladies and ladies who were sitting there, and very tacitly reconciled Miss Darcy and Jane. Mrs. Weston isolated herself.

Jane and Mrs. Weston looked at each other helplessly, and really didn't know what to say to Sister Bingley's actions.Miss Bingley wanted to bring her brother and Miss Darcy together, and she had to bring them together when they were fishing just now, but as far as she was concerned, Miss Bingley must have wasted all her efforts. There are only brothers and sisters and friends between Mr. and Mrs.

Mrs. Weston was very disgusted with the Bingley sisters' xenophobic behavior. At this moment, Mr. Weston turned around and waved to them, so she decided to go down and have a look.

"Will you come down with me, Jane?" she asked, "or do you wish to rest here a little longer?"

"I'll stay a little longer." Jane looked down and said, she had a feeling that once she went down, Miss Bingley would probably go down again soon.

Mrs. Weston nodded. She didn't have any worries about keeping Jane here. Although Sister Bingley wanted to isolate her from Miss Darcy, she could always join a party as long as Jane wanted to. field conversation.

But Jane didn't intend to join the conversation. After Mrs. Weston left, she looked around the surrounding scenery, and finally decided to go for a walk in the nearby grove.

It was of course very necessary that she put forward her plan to Miss Darcy in this way. As the other master of Pemberley Manor, Miss Darcy should know the whereabouts of every guest.After hearing what Jane said, she hesitated at first, wondering if she should let Jane go to the woods alone, and even wanted to get up and walk with her, but she also thought that she could not keep Miss Bingley and Hess Mrs. Tett was here alone, so she was very disturbed.Jane saw her apprehension, and told her at once, so that she need not trouble.

"I'm just walking around here, not going far, and I'll be back in a while," she said.
