Pride and Prejudice Becoming Jane Bennet

What Miss Bingley saw at the ball was enough to make her jealous, and when they sat down in the drawing-room at Netherfield, she said: It's unbearable to be bored together, isn't it, Mr. Darcy?"

Mr. Darcy stood in front of the fire, stoking coal, and for a moment made no answer.

"But Jane Bennet is a sweet girl!" said Mrs. Hurst. "I noticed you asked her to dance, Mr. Darcy?"

"Yes, but to show respect to the master," said Mr. Darcy quickly.

"Oh! Sir Lucas must have persuaded you to dance, Mr. Darcy, didn't he?" cried Miss Bingley. "What a conceit! He thinks we need his help socially." !"

"I'm sure he's a good fellow, Caroline!" exclaimed Mr. Bingley.

Miss Bingley was very upset that she didn't get the expected approval from her brother and Mr. Darcy's response. She turned to Mr. Darcy and said, "It seems that you didn't intend to invite Miss Bennet? I can guess what you were thinking at the time!"

"I don't think you will," replied Mr. Darcy.

Miss Bingley smiled.

"You must be trying to spend so many nights with people who are so self righteous! It's unbearable!"

But Mr. Darcy overruled her conjectures, and surprised Miss Bingley by saying that he had actually been in a happier mood.

"I indulge in something pleasant," said Mr. Darcy, "from a good partner."

Miss Bingley fixed her eyes quickly on his face, trying to figure out what kind of feelings Mr. Darcy had for his "excellent partner".

"I think Miss Jane Bennet's beauty is irresistible to anyone," said Miss Bingley tentatively. "Have you taken a fancy to her? . . . When can I congratulate you?"

"I expected you to ask that question," said Mr. Darcy. "A woman's imagination is so quick that it jumps from admiration to love, and in the blink of an eye to marriage."

"If you're so prudish, I think it's a hundred per cent certain," cried Miss Bingley. "You're sure to get an interesting mother-in-law who will live with you at Pemberley forever."

She spoke so proudly, but Mr. Darcy half listened, still so calm and composed, but Mr. Bingley stood up to refute her point of view, saying that Mrs. Bennet was a passionate and good lady, but this was not the case. Leaving Miss Bingley concerned, Mr. Darcy behaved enough to reassure her.

On the other hand, after the Bennet family returned to Longbourn, Mrs. Bennet yelled quickly: "Oh! Mr. Bennet, look how popular Jane is! Even people like Mr. Darcy To ask her to dance with him!"

"Mom!" Jane quickly interrupted Mrs. Bennet, "Mr. Darcy did it out of politeness."

"Oh, my dear Jane!" cried Mrs. Bennet, "who can resist your loveliness! I'm sure Mr. Darcy will soon ask you to the next dance! Come to think of it, ten thousand pounds at least One year!"

"Mother, there is something between Mr. Darcy and myself, and I have offended him so badly that I am afraid he will not ask me to dance again," said Jane.

The Bennet family expressed surprise.

"When did you offend Mr. Darcy?" asked Mr. Bennet.

"When I went to Ramsgate with my uncle and aunt a year ago." Jane said, "When I met him, I had some misunderstandings with him, which made him very unhappy."

"Oh! a gentleman is not so vindictive, Jane!" cried Mrs. Bennet.

Jane smiled helplessly, thinking that Mr. Darcy had said in the original book that once his favor was gone, it was gone forever, and that her rude and offensive speculation about his behavior at Ramsgate was enough to make him lose I have a good impression of her.

Before falling asleep at night, she and Elizabeth talked about it again, and she told Elizabeth exactly how she had offended Mr. Darcy.

"My God!" exclaimed Elizabeth, "that's a great offense!"

"Who told him to stand in that position and look thoughtful, it really has to make people think wrong." Jane said helplessly.

Elizabeth smiled at her comfortingly, thought for a while, and said: "Although Mr. Darcy is such a person, he is polite and polite when he invites you to dance, so he probably didn't take it to heart, after all He's responsible too, isn't he?"

Jane combed her hair and said nothing.

"If he wants to pursue you, I will try my best to like him, although it is quite difficult." Elizabeth said.

"Mr. Darcy's superior attitude is really hard to like," said Jane.She remembered that when she was an overseas student, the British prince and princess had come to the school to participate in activities, and their attitude was not as unattainable as Mr. Darcy's - although it is far from the time now.

"If only he had Mr. Ferrars's kindness."

Jane looked up at Elizabeth.

"We all thought that you and him could have a good relationship."

Jane shook her head with a smile, and said: "Mr. Ferrars is indeed a gentleman, but his family will not allow him to marry a lady with only a thousand pounds as a dowry."

After a pause, she added: "And Mr. Ferrars cannot do without family support, and cannot be as independent as Mr. Weston."

Elizabeth sighed, and said: "Mr. Weston is really the best gentleman I have ever met. It's a pity that he is a bit older, but he is a good match for Mrs. Weston."

The two fell asleep while talking. When Jane woke up the next morning, she found that the two sisters had slept together again. She teased Elizabeth and asked her if she had been with Mr. Bingley because of the ball. Himself, so I made up for it by sleeping with me, which made Elizabeth tickle for a while.

……

While the Bennets were having breakfast that day, Hill delivered a letter from Netherfield.

"Who wrote it, Liz?" asked Mrs. Bennet excitedly.

"It's from Miss Bingley," said Elizabeth, looking at it.

"Oh! that's a good omen," cried Mrs. Bennet, who rose quickly, went to Elizabeth, and drew the letter away.

Elizabeth and Jane looked at each other helplessly.

On the other side, Mrs. Bennet has already read.

"My dear friend! Here we come!" She sat back in her seat with a smile and continued to read, "Today I dine with Louisa, if you and Jane don't show kindness, come and dine with us...etc. ...wait...because the gentlemen are going to dine with the officers! How unfortunate!"

She looked up to Jane and Elizabeth and said, "Even so, you still have to go there and do what you can."

After reading the letter, she also admired Miss Bingley's calligraphy, saying that she had never seen such beautiful calligraphy.

Jane smiled, and turned to Mr. Bennet, "Can Liz and I use the carriage, Dad?"

"Carriage! No! Of course not!" cried Mrs. Bennet. "You must ride, for it is going to rain, and you must spend the night there."

Jane turned her head to look at her mother in surprise.

Elizabeth quickly opened her mouth and said, "Mom, Jane is just right, I'm afraid I won't be able to soak in the rain again!"

"Yes! Yes!" cried Mr. Bennet, "Jane must not suffer any more!"

He turned to Jane and Elizabeth and said, "You can use the carriage, and I will let Old John take you there."

Jane and Elizabeth smiled gratefully at Mr. Bennet.

So, after breakfast, the two sisters went out.Mrs. Bennet talked about how regretful she was not to see Mr. Bingley and Mr. Darcy, and expressed her indignation that the two sisters did not follow her advice.

But Jane was very relaxed in her heart. She said that it would be great if she could not see Mr. Darcy. On the premise that she already knew that she had offended him, she couldn't bear to face that iceberg with a strong aura. The sister felt rather sorry that she should not see Mr. Bingley.
