[Pride and Prejudice] Crossing into Elizabeth

When everyone heard the sensitive word "pneumonia", they became concerned.

Mr. Hurst's indifference to Elizabeth's illness could not help being indifference.

Madam Catherine was also shocked at first, and then she slowly came back to her senses, and sighed involuntarily: "You are so young, how can you get such a disease!"

Miss Anne came up and said: "Mr. Darcy only said it was possible, mother."

"I know." Mrs. Catherine replied to her daughter angrily. After she came back yesterday, she was so angry with this girl that she didn't even come down for dinner. She had made up her mind not to talk to her, but because today Such a thing happened suddenly, and I unconsciously talked to my daughter again.

But if she wants to be as good-natured as before, she won't be able to do it for a while.

Mrs. Catherine looked at her daughter who was coming, and suddenly thought of something, she immediately said: "Luckily, I asked Mrs. Jenkinson to bring your cloak yesterday, otherwise you might be the one who is sick today. "

Lady Catherine originally wanted to scold her daughter, but as she spoke, she felt a little scared.

Her daughter has been weak since she was a child, let alone pneumonia, even a high fever like Miss Bennet's, I'm afraid she can't stand it.

Mrs. Catherine thought of the pneumonia that Darcy had just mentioned, and suddenly became frightened. That Miss Bennet could contract pneumonia at any time, and Anne was in such poor health that she would be the first to catch it.The more Mrs. Catherine thought about it, the more serious she became, and she panicked.

The eyes are also hesitant, looking very worried.

Miss Darcy thought that her aunt was doing this because of Miss Elizabeth, so she walked over and took Lady Catherine's hand, "Aunt," she said, "don't worry too much, Dr. Pogue didn't say that Miss Elizabeth would definitely Infected with pneumonia, and my brother has sent someone to London to ask for Dr. Carlos, he is a lung specialist, and if there is something wrong with Miss Elizabeth, Dr. Carlos can cure it.”

Some of Miss Darcy's remarks were particularly noted by Miss Anne.

She has had a vague idea since yesterday, and now may be an opportunity to confirm it. Miss Anne thought so, and asked Georgiana casually: "You just said that you have sent someone to London to ask for a tuberculosis doctor." Are you an expert? Was it suggested by the doctor who just came over?"

"It was not suggested by Dr. Pogue. Before Dr. Pogue came, my brother sent someone to London to invite Dr. Carlos. At that time, my brother saw that Miss Elizabeth's fever was too severe, and worried that it might cause a lung infection. London is calling for a doctor," Miss Darcy added, as if afraid of being misunderstood, after finishing speaking, "Dr. Pogue really didn't suggest it."

Miss Anne didn't say anything more, she knew it well.

Her guess was confirmed. Mr. Darcy fell in love with that Miss Bennet. Miss Anne was depressed, but it was not as painful as she imagined. She knew that Mr. Darcy didn't mean that to her. I also slowly accepted this fact.

Now that Mr. Darcy has someone he likes, although it cannot be said that this matter has no effect on her, it is nothing compared to when she first understood Mr. Darcy's mind.

Miss Anne just seemed indifferent.

Mrs. Catherine had another idea. She was thinking that Miss Bennet's condition was really not optimistic. Otherwise, why did Darcy rush to find a pulmonary specialist?Miss Bennet might have had a tuberculosis, or it would have been a matter of minutes if she hadn't.

Madam Catherine pondered in her heart for a while, and quickly made up her mind that she must take Anne out of here as soon as possible.She was just such a precious daughter, she couldn't bear the slightest risk.

It's just that she was too embarrassed to speak about this matter, and Lady Catherine thought about finding an opportunity for a while, and told Darcy about it in private.

The Hurst couple looked at each other, and immediately understood each other's thoughts from each other's eyes, so they tacitly stopped talking.

At this fatal moment, Georgiana said very simply: "Mrs. Hurst, we are all out now. Only Mrs. Bingley and a maid are taking care of Miss Elizabeth's room. If you want to visit Miss Elizabeth, you can go now." gone."

Mrs. Hurst was sent to the army suddenly, and she didn't know what to say, but Mrs. Hurst refused to say anything, so she stammered, and suddenly remembered that all this happened to her just now When those words came out, I felt a little regretful.

Mr. Hurst hastened to chime in and said, "Louise won't go, let Miss Elizabeth have a good rest."

When Lady Catherine saw the appearance of the couple, she immediately understood what was going on in their hearts.

She originally wanted to find an opportunity to tell Darcy in private about leaving Pemberley, but now she couldn't sit still, for fear that the Hursts would preempt them, and everyone would be in a hurry to leave. It doesn't look good.

Lady Catherine immediately said to her nephew, "Darcy, come out with me."

Mr. Darcy followed Lady Catherine out.

Mrs. Catherine came out of the living room and went into the next room. She just wanted to tell Darcy about this matter quickly, and quickly decide to leave. After opening the door, she found that it was their breakfast. In the dining room, two maids cleaned up the table and were wiping the table with a rag.

Lady Catherine said immediately, "You go out first."

The maids didn't know what was going on. After looking at each other, they subconsciously looked at the master who came in behind Mrs. Catherine.

Mr. Darcy nodded to them, and the maids quickly packed up their things, saluted and went out, and gently closed the door of the breakfast room.

Soon there were only her and Darcy left in the dining room. Lady Catherine hesitated for a moment before she spoke slowly: "Darcy," she said, "it is logical that Miss Bennet is so ill now. I should say this, but you know how weak your cousin is, she usually coughs a few times when she is fine, and now Miss Elizabeth has a severe fever, if she really has pneumonia..."

Lady Catherine sighed slowly.

Mr. Darcy's face remained pale, showing no emotion.

"Darcy," said Lady Catherine sincerely, "if I were alone, I would be afraid of nothing, but I cannot risk Anne's safety."

Mr. Darcy didn't seem to know anything, so he asked only after hearing this: "What do you mean?"

"Let me just say it straight, I plan to take Annie home."

After Mrs. Catherine had said everything, she had no scruples. She simply asked her nephew, "Darcy, tell me the truth, is it possible that Miss Bennet will be infected with pneumonia?"

"Dr. Pogue didn't say that," Darcy said.

There are only the two of them here. Mrs. Catherine knew that her nephew didn't need to lie to her, but she made up her mind to leave. Mrs. Catherine paused and asked again: "Then what is your plan? Miss Bennet If you really got pneumonia, what are you going to do?"

Darcy did not answer directly, but said: "Miss Elizabeth fell ill at my place, and I am responsible."

Mrs. Catherine speculated on Darcy's thoughts in her heart. Pneumonia is contagious and fatal. Darcy must also be afraid in her heart. She carefully looked at the expression of her nephew. His face was pale and nothing could be seen. Catherine Madam wondered if he couldn't save face?

Originally, she only thought about taking her daughter and leaving quickly, but now that she had spoken, she was worried about Darcy, the brother and sister.

She made some calculations for her nephew in her heart, and said quickly: "Darcy, you send someone to Longbourn now, and let Miss Bennet's family come over quickly. Miss Bennet's illness makes them If anything happens, you can’t be blamed on your head. If you send a few more people to take care of their family, it will do your best for your friends and Miss Bennet’s family. responsible."

She paused, seemed to think about it, and then said: "You can't leave now, how about it, I will take Georgiana away today, and when Miss Bennet's family arrives in two days, you can find an excuse , just say that if you have something to do, you can go to London, and you can also go to Rosings to find us."

Mr. Darcy, who had been silent all this time, was now thinking about it.

He had already seen what the Hursts were thinking in the living room.Lady Catherine had called him out to speak alone just now, and after thinking about it a little, he knew what his aunt wanted to say to him.

Of course, Mr. Darcy would not stop someone from leaving. He has no time to socialize with them in this critical period. It would save him a lot of trouble if they really left, but after all, these people are his guests. Before he said he wanted to leave, Mr. Darcy knew what they thought, but he could only pretend not to know. He had to wait for them to ask to leave before Mr. Darcy arranged for them to leave smoothly.

No other part of Lady Catherine's proposal was worthy of consideration, but Mr. Darcy hesitated when the suggestion of her taking Georgiana away with her was brought up.

Mr. Darcy thought it over, and found the proposal to be admissible.
