Pride and Prejudice Becoming Jane Bennet

It was only when Jane's lips touched Mr. Darcy's cool hands that she realized what good she had done.She remained in the posture of kissing Mr. Darcy's hand in a daze, and stood there with her head down for a long time, not thinking about what she should do next, until the hands she was holding moved slightly, she felt as if she had just dreamed Wake up, quickly let go of those hands.

However, the moment she let go of those hands, she only felt a strong force coming from behind her—the hands that she had just let go suddenly held hers instead, pulling her whole body into a into the arms of the gentleman standing before her.

Jane's eyes widened in shock, her face was pressed tightly against Mr. Darcy's stiff coat, and the cold buttons on it made her feel a little uncomfortable, but she didn't dare to move, because the one behind her belonged to Darcy Mr. See's arm was pressing hard upon her, and Mr. Darcy was pressing her hand on his breast.

She felt that her heart missed a beat in a certain second, and then quickly beat violently, all the blood rushed up, and it seemed that only the sound of the beating of the heart could be heard in her ears, He couldn't tell whether the source of the sound was his own or Mr. Darcy's.

"You..." she heard Mr. Darcy say hoarsely.

Jane could hardly breathe, and gasping for breath, felt herself trembling a little, waiting with trepidation for Mr. Darcy's sentence for what she had just done, but at this moment a voice came from the end of the path where they stood. A human voice came, which made Jane startled suddenly.

Her heart was in her throat, and she moved, trying to break away from Mr. Darcy, but failed. Mr. Darcy didn't seem to hear the voice coming from the end of the path, and he still stood motionless. , one arm was still clasped firmly behind Jane's back, completely ignoring Jane's protesting struggles.The two remained in a stalemate like this for several seconds, until Jane heard that the voice seemed to be getting closer, and then she felt the arm pressing behind her move and let go of herself.

Mr. Darcy took a step back, lowered his head and turned his face slightly, and said "Sorry" in a low voice.

"No," Jane said reflexively, "I'm sorry."

Mr. Darcy glanced back at her quickly, but quickly turned his eyes away, and looked up to where the sound came from. It was already dark now, and at the bend at the end of the path, two figures walked slowly from the bushes out.

"You won't despise my sister for that?" said Mr. Darcy in a low, rapid voice.

"No, of course not." Jane understood what Mr. Darcy meant, and replied equally quickly, "Who hasn't met a scumbag?"

Mr. Darcy looked at her again, and was about to say something, but at this moment, the two who had just made the sound had turned the corner and came towards them. It was Miss Bingley and Mrs. Miss Darcy!

"Mr. Darcy!" cried Miss Bingley, astonished at seeing them, "Miss Bennet! You..."

She broke off abruptly, and turned her eyes to and fro on Mr. Darcy and Jane, evidently surprised that they should be alone together.Jane felt a little embarrassed, and she could only be thankful that the darkened sky and the shadows of the trees could prevent the people on the opposite side from seeing her face clearly.

Miss Bingley was silent for a while, and finally found a reasonable explanation for how the two got together. She said: "It seems that you have successfully found Miss Bennet, Mr. Darcy."

"Yes," replied Mr. Darcy curtly.

"Then those servants who were sent to find someone in this wood will return in vain!" Miss Bingley laughed.

She looked at Mr. Darcy, found that he was completely unresponsive to her words, and was very bored, so she looked at Jane again and said: "You should find a servant to accompany you, Miss Bennet. Born—you can still find your way back there by yourself. Here, if you are not familiar with it and you don’t have a servant to guide you, don’t even think you can find your way by yourself.”

"It was my lack of thoughtfulness," said Jane.

She looked at Mr. Darcy, then at Miss Darcy, and said apologetically, "I am very sorry for the inconvenience this has caused you."

"It's not your fault, Jane," said Miss Darcy hastily, "it did not occur to me at first that I should have gone with you."

Miss Bingley frowned when she heard this sentence, she thought that Miss Darcy really wanted to accompany Jane when she asked to go for a walk nearby, and she couldn't do so because she dragged her to talk. I mentioned it as if it was her fault, so I was very upset.

"How did you come here?" asked Mr. Darcy at this moment. "Georgianna, where are the other guests?"

"Everyone has been walking about here," said Miss Darcy. "Mr. Bingley is in the woods with Mr. and Mrs. Weston—they want to see if they can find you, Jane; Mr and Mrs Sturt are by the river."

Mr. Darcy nodded, and asked again: "How long have you been out?"

"It has been a while," replied Miss Darcy.

"Georgiana and I are going back!" said Miss Bingley. "Mr. Darcy... Miss Bennet, what is your plan?"

Jane and Mr. Darcy exchanged a quick glance, and both indicated that they too were planning to go back.So a group of people walked out of the forest along the way they came.

Miss Darcy was very happy to see Jane. She was introverted and didn't like to talk too much, but Miss Bingley chatted with her for almost an afternoon, and she had already finished talking about a few topics that she could talk about. It wasn't that she was keen on it, but she was too polite to neglect Miss Bingley, so she could only try to say something. When she saw Jane, she immediately took her arm and begged her to accompany them. and, as it so happened that the path could only accommodate three persons abreast, the three young ladies went first, and Mr. Darcy followed them, at the beginning of the retracement.

Miss Bingley talks to Miss Darcy firstly to please her and plan for her own future, and secondly to avoid the rapid development of friendship between Miss Darcy and Jane, but now she sees Jane and Mr. Darcy staying alone They seemed to have stayed together for a while, and immediately the alarm bells rang out in their hearts, and they didn't care about talking to Miss Darcy.The purpose of her bringing Miss Darcy here was different from that of the others—Mr. She had inquired before she came, and said Mr. Darcy had come to find Jane in these woods.

With such thoughts in mind, she naturally didn't care about the conversation between Jane and Miss Darcy, and she didn't have time to participate. She found the opportunity and slowed down, and fell behind Jane and Miss Darcy, holding hands Mr Darcy's arm.

Jane was talking to Miss Darcy, and at first she didn't notice that Miss Bingley had gone to the back, but when she found out later, she just smiled casually, not to pierce Miss Bingley's little thoughts, but kissed her. Talk affectionately to Miss Darcy--she is now obliged to thank these two for joining her, without which she would be ashamed to face Mr. Darcy.

But Mr. Darcy thought very differently from her, and he felt extremely helpless about the joining of these two ladies.Since he met Jane again in Birmingham's jewelry store, he has been unable to figure out what kind of emotion this lady has towards him.He already knew that his wealth and status were not enough to attract this lady-these two happened to be the two things he was most proud of when he proposed to Jane in Hansford, and he also relied on his own superiority in wealth and status He believed that Jane would definitely agree to his marriage proposal, but now he knew that he had made a big mistake at that time, and he was afraid that Jane would not be able to forgive himself for his bad words at that time.And Jane's kiss just made him understand the young lady's feelings for him, and he couldn't help being ecstatic. If it wasn't for being disturbed, he might have gotten what he wanted.

At this time, he was walking behind, listening to Miss Bingley talking to him, and occasionally answering a few words, but most of his thoughts were still on the two ladies in front. He saw his sister chatting with Jane so much. After hearing about his sister, Jane's attitude did not change at all, she was still so natural and friendly, and she couldn't help feeling very relieved. He thought of what happened before his sister and Miss Bingley joined, and felt extremely happy again. He was even able to strike up a pleasant conversation with Miss Bingley when they were almost back to the picnic spot by the Trout River.

……

During the dinner, Jane and Mr. Darcy did not sit together, nor did they have the opportunity to talk alone during the nap after the meal, but what happened on the trail before both of them knew that the other was interested in them, so even if Darcy Mr. West saw his sister sitting beside Jane and talking to her all the time, and Mr. Bingley kept asking Jane for news about her sister, which made him feel a little nervous because he couldn't find time to talk to Jane alone. Depressed, but it did not hinder his overall happy mood.

And since Jane has confirmed Mr. Darcy's feelings for her, she can bear the fact that she can't have a good conversation with him for a while, not to mention that her conversation partners are all pleasant people.Although Miss Darcy is shy and always reluctant to say a word, she and Jane have a good conversation; and Mr. Bingley-although Jane still can't talk to him innocently, but this gentleman wants to He wanted to pursue Elizabeth again after returning to Netherfield, so he did not give in to Jane's courtesies, and he just picked what Jane liked to hear.

At the end of the dinner, the Darcy brothers and sisters and Mr. Bingley sent Jane and the Weston couple to the door. Miss Darcy and Jane agreed to invite them to come back to Pemberley tomorrow afternoon, so that she could paint the pictures she had drawn when she stayed here for the summer. Show Jane that everyone can also go to the apple orchard together, or take a carriage to the hill with the red deer and the stream seen today. Jane accepted her invitation happily on behalf of the Weston couple.

"It's been a very pleasant day," said Mr. Bingley, coming up to Jane after saying goodbye to Mrs. and Mrs. Weston. "It's a fond memory to have such a pleasant conversation with you. Farewell, Miss Bennet."

"It was a great pleasure chatting with you, too," said Jane. "Good-bye."

As she spoke, she turned to say good-bye to the gentleman who had not been able to speak properly all through the dinner, and who happened to accompany Mr. and Mrs. Weston to the carriage.

"Looking forward to seeing you again tomorrow," said Mr. Darcy, "Miss Bennet."
