[Pride and Prejudice] Crossing into Elizabeth

"What are you talking about? Why am I angry?"

Jane couldn't understand Bingley's words at all, and she was in a fog.

Bentley seemed even more unable to hold his head up.

He gritted his teeth and said: "Louisa and the others don't know who they listened to. They think Elizabeth will get pneumonia. They want to leave, and they will leave today. Dear Jane, don't be angry. Louisa and the others still hope that Elizabeth will get pneumonia." Get well soon."

"...They thought Lizzie would get pneumonia," Jane didn't react for a moment, and asked stupidly, "Even if they thought so, why did they leave?"

Bentley blushed and couldn't say a word.

Jane also reacted quickly, and her face flushed instantly. She felt humiliated and also felt cheated.

Along the way, Louisa and Caroline treated her affectionately. She thought they would be sisters she could trust and rely on, but now they just suspected that Elizabeth was going to have lung disease, and they were afraid that they would be infected, so they couldn't wait. leave them?

Jane was so angry that she couldn't say a word.

Lydia yelled out loud.

"My God, Mr. Bingley," she said, "are Mrs. Hurst and Miss Bingley afraid that Lizzie's pneumonia will infect them? Are they in such a hurry to go?"

Unlike Jane, who never forgot to show respect to each other, as soon as she figured out what Mr. Bingley meant, she immediately screamed recklessly, pierced the last layer of window paper mercilessly, and put Mrs. Hurst yelled out their thoughts.

Bentley's face flushed even redder.

Seeing Mr. Bingley's acquiescence, Lydia immediately shouted louder.

"My God, how could they be like this?" she cried. "I thought they were so kind to Jane! Especially Miss Bingley, who said 'Dear Jane' every time. They all ran away in fright! Elizabeth was not doing well, they thought they would be infected, so they ran non-stop, and they didn't care about the sick Elizabeth, leaving Elizabeth and us alone, oops, I have never seen it Such people, they are really interesting!"

Jane would never be able to say such a thing. If she was given time to think about it, she would also think that Lydia should not have said such a thing. It felt like Lydia had breathed out for her.

Perhaps because of this, Jane gradually calmed down, and her face was not as flushed as before.

She asked calmly, "When are they leaving?"

"They are going to find Mr. Darcy now, and they must have greeted Darcy before leaving."

Bentley's voice was low, as if he had no face to face anyone.

Jane couldn't bear Bingley's appearance, so she softened her attitude and said in a soft voice, "Then tell them for me, I still have to look at Lizzie, so I won't go see them off."

Bingley felt very uncomfortable. If he and Jane were the only ones in the room, he probably wanted to have a good talk with Jane. After a pause, Bingley felt both ashamed and vaguely uncomfortable.

After listening to Jane’s words, he just nodded and went out.

Although he was angry with Louisa and Caroline in his heart, they were his sisters after all, and he had to show his face if they were to leave, so Mr. Bingley held his breath and went to find Mrs. Hurst and the others.

He knew that Louisa and the others must be going to Darcy now to say that they were leaving, and finding Darcy was equivalent to finding them, but he didn't know where Darcy was at the moment, and he was in a panic all morning. One will leave for a while, and the other will leave for a while, and he doesn't know where to find Darcy.

Bingley came out of Elizabeth's room, and before he had walked a few steps in the corridor, he encountered several maids who were hurriedly rushing this way.

Bingley suddenly felt a little irritable. He felt uncomfortable seeing others in such a hurry.

He called to one of the maids.

"Do you know where Mr. Darcy is?"

The maid who was stopped said hurriedly: "Mr. Darcy is in the living room on the first floor."

When she was speaking, the other two maids did not wait for her, and had already hurriedly passed them forward. The maid who was stopped looked at their backs anxiously, and immediately went to chase her partner after she finished speaking.

Mr. Bingley was a little strange, so he asked her, "What are you doing in such a hurry?"

"Mr. Darcy told us to go to Miss Bennet's room at once, and he told us to attend to the sick," said the maid, hurrying to leave. "I'm sorry, sir, but I must go at once, and there is no delay in this matter." of."

After finishing speaking, he refused to stay for a moment, and trotted to chase his partner.

Mr. Bingley turned his head and saw that the two maids in front had arrived at the door of Elizabeth's room and were about to enter.

Mr. Bingley was worried that Mr. Darcy would disappear again, so he hurried to the living room on the first floor.

Soon he arrived at the living room on the first floor, and Darcy was indeed here, and just as he expected, Louisa and the others were also there, and they seemed to have just arrived, and they were planning to ask Darcy to leave.

Louisa saw him at once, and she said at once: "It's very kind of you to come, Charles, you must have spoken to Jane? We're going to speak to Mr. Darcy about this too, but we just don't know how to say it." , things will be easy now that you are here, and you are good friends, so it is up to you to tell Mr Darcy, Charles."

Mr. Bingley, who was already angry with them, was even more displeased by this, and he had no intention of speaking for them, but Darcy, Miss Darcy, and the housekeeper were all there, and it was not easy to be Mr. Bingley held back his anger, and was about to speak to Darcy, when Darcy spoke first.

"Excuse me, but I need to speak to Mrs. Reynolds very urgently, and there is no time to lose a moment, Bingley," said Darcy, "if what you have to say is not very urgent, we will talk about it later? "

After Mr. Darcy said so, everyone expressed that they were not in a hurry at all, and asked him to do the important things first.

Only Mrs. Reynolds was a little perplexed at what Mr. Darcy was going to say to her.

Mr. Darcy quickly beckoned Mrs. Reynolds to follow him, and Mrs. Reynolds wondered as she followed him whether there was something she was not doing right.But she was always conscientious, and Mrs. Reynolds dared to say that she loved Pemberley as much as the master, and she never made any mistakes.

Suddenly I thought, could it be related to the sick young lady upstairs?

Mr. Darcy went into a living room next to it, which is usually only used in summer, and in summer you can see the beautiful oak tree and other beautiful scenery through the window, because it is usually left unused in winter, although it is cleaned well. It was clean, but there was no fire.

Mrs. Reynolds felt a little cold when she went in, and she wondered why Mr. Darcy had chosen such a place.

Although I felt that I didn't do anything wrong, I couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

"Mrs. Reynolds," said Mr. Darcy, as soon as she closed the door, "I have just gone to Miss Elizabeth's room, and I was surprised to find Miss Elizabeth's relatives and one of their own maids in the room. Why didn't you How about sending someone over to take care of the sick?"

Mrs. Reynolds thumped in her heart, thinking that it really was the lady's business.

It's not that she didn't think of sending someone to take care of the patient, but first, she felt that the young lady had her own sisters and servants to take care of her, so there was no urgent need for manpower, and second, she was very busy all morning. All kinds of things need manpower, and I didn't have time to take this matter into consideration.

Mrs. Catherine is leaving suddenly, and she has to send someone to urge the kitchen to prepare food, and she also needs to send someone to help Mrs. Catherine and the others pack their luggage, as well as their carriage. Mrs. Catherine was easy to wait on and left, and Mrs. Hurst heard that she was going to leave again.

I have never spared time to send people over, and it has been delayed until now without knowing it.

Mrs. Reynolds explained it to Mr. Darcy, but obviously her explanation did not satisfy the host, and Mr. Darcy didn't want to listen to it after half listening.

"Mrs. Reynolds," he said at once, "I hope you will set your priorities in order. Miss Elizabeth must be attended to, and everything else can be put on hold. Lady Catherine has her own servants, and none of them is sick. , No one has a fever, they are very conscious, they will take care of themselves, I hope that from this moment on, you can put Miss Elizabeth's affairs first, and her family, I hope you can pay attention at any time, See what they need, do you understand what I mean?"

Although Mrs. Reynolds had reasons to defend herself, it was also true that she had neglected Miss Bennett, and she lacked confidence after all.So although he could clearly feel that Mr. Darcy was dissatisfied with him, he didn't say anything, he only said that he would follow the master's orders.

Mr. Darcy added quickly: "Perhaps you can go and see Miss Elizabeth's room now."

Mrs. Reynolds went at once.

But when she went out, she already had a new idea in her mind. Mr. Darcy was so interested in the affairs of that Miss Bennet that Mrs. Reynolds could not help thinking of it.

Maybe the sick Miss Bennet will be the hostess here.

The author has something to say: Haha, Darcy is very interested in Elizabeth

Mrs. Reynolds said it again╯_╰
