[Pride and Prejudice] Crossing into Elizabeth

Elizabeth was so stupid that she didn't know what to say to Mr. Darcy.

However, she felt a little relieved in her heart. Elizabeth was most worried that Mr. Darcy would cool her down, and now he was not as worried as she was, and he was talking to her in such a relaxed tone. Elizabeth felt as if there were countless bubbles of happiness in her heart. Bubbles popped out one after another.

Mr. Darcy continued: "Miss Elizabeth, you have personally said that my sister took good care of you at Pemberley, and it is logical that you should not treat her like this."

"... Then," said Elizabeth with a smile, "I will make it up to Miss Darcy if I have the chance."

Mr. Darcy also smiled: "Okay, I will pass this sentence to her for you, I think... I hope you will have many opportunities to meet each other in the future."

Elizabeth felt a little hot on her face, and she didn't know if she was too sensitive. She always felt that Mr. Darcy's words seemed to contain some kind of expectation for the future.

It is a pity that Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy's conversation ended here, because Lydia and Kitty came back, and Lydia shouted as soon as she entered the door, as if she was worried that no one would hear her. The sound was so loud that it immediately drowned out the voices of other people in the living room.

"We can't wait to tell you this news," cried Lydia, "can't wait to share this news with you! This is great news! The Militia is coming! Next Tuesday It's absolutely true! It's true! A friend of Uncle Philip's had an officer he knew well, and Aunt Philip found out from that officer through that friend! What do you think of this news? We'll be here soon There will be a lot of officers in red uniforms walking around! Oh, I'm so excited to think of this! I can't wait for tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow. Let me open my eyes tomorrow , it’s straight to next Monday! Oops, I can’t wait!”

Kitty also said very enthusiastically: "Aunt Philip wants to keep us to eat at her place, but we can't sit still. We hurry back to tell you the news! And Miss Smith and Maria! We are going to hurry there tell them..."

"Oh—" Lydia interrupted Kitty loudly, "Miss Smith told us triumphantly last time that the militia was coming next Tuesday, and this time I can kill her spirit! I'll tell Miss Smith She got the time wrong and pushed it back by a whole day! After I tell her the accurate news, let's see if she can still be so proud!"

Kitty was very annoyed that Lydia interrupted her, and there was a few words with Lydia, and Lydia said nonchalantly: "Who made you speak so slowly! Besides, I didn't stop you from talking." ! It’s because your voice is too low, when I speak, others can only hear what I say.”

Mr. Bennet sat on the sofa, drinking coffee, watching the good show, without any persuasion.

Kitty was still quarreling with Lydia, and Jane stepped up to smooth things over, and told them both to keep their voices down, for there were guests in the house.

Kitty shut her mouth resentfully, but Mrs. Bennet was very biased, and blamed Kitty for being ignorant and not knowing how to let her sister out. Kitty was very angry now, and she didn't follow Lydia to Smith The lady went to the house, and walked towards the stairs angrily, and said as she walked: "Go by yourself, go wherever you like, say what you like, and make as loudly as you like, no one will follow you." Grab it."

After speaking, Kitty ran up the stairs with the sound of thumping footsteps.

Both Elizabeth and Jane were a little embarrassed, but Lydia didn't feel anything. She was still yelling at the place where Kitty disappeared on the stairs: "You're so stingy, your mind is only as big as a pinhole, no! The hole is much bigger than your mind!"

Kitty was really angry, and she didn't refute Lydia's words. Lydia's one-man show was quite boring, so she turned to Mrs. Bennet for support: "Mom, you said I was right. No? Isn't Kitty mean?"

Mrs. Bennet said "Oh", and while beckoning Lydia to go to her, she said: "Don't give her common sense, I don't know how to tell you, my good boy, come to mother quickly."

Lydia quickly walked over to Mrs. Bennet. She let out a cry and died of starvation. She picked up the snacks on the table and ate two or three pieces without saying a word, and then let Lucas through the sofa. The lady handed her the coffee pot, and Charlotte quickly poured her a cup of coffee, and handed the coffee cup to Lydia, who drank it down in one gulp.

"Well, it's better now, mother," said Lydia, "you don't know how much I've talked and walked this morning! My throat is smoking!"

Then she immediately stood up again, as if she was about to go out, "And I have to go out, there is no delay! I have to go and tell everyone the news!"

She suddenly turned to Charlotte and said, "Miss Lucas, including your sister Maria, mother!" Lydia turned her head back and said to Mrs. Bennet, "I'm leaving, I have to hurry, If you go late, if someone else gets the news before me, and tells it before me, it will be bad."

Lydia was about to leave in a hurry, and Charlotte hurriedly said: "There is no need for you to make a special trip to Maria, she is preparing for her marriage and doesn't pay much attention to other things. , I can tell her when I go back later."

"Oh, that's fine too," Lydia said to Charlotte as she walked, "just don't forget to tell Maria, I'm the first to know the news...but forget it, I'll go by myself Come on, I just happened to take a look at the clothes your family prepared for her wedding."

Lydia was almost at the door, she walked very fast, as if she was afraid that someone would get there first, she walked to the door in three steps at a time, suddenly she seemed to think of something again, turned sideways Shouted to Mrs. Bennet, "Tell Kitty she won't want to know what I've heard from my neighbours! I won't tell her!"

Mrs. Bennet yelled back seriously: "I'm not going to spread the word! It's useless to spread it! Kitty will definitely try to get the news out of you!"

But Lydia didn't hear a word of Mrs. Bennet's words, and she didn't care what Mrs. Bennet said. When Mrs. Bennet finished shouting the last word to the door, Lydia had already run away. It's been a long time.

But with the exception of Lydia, everyone in the room could hear clearly.

Mr. Bingley has long been used to such scenes, and he didn't feel anything special.He was, however, eager to know what his friend thought, and looked over at Mr. Darcy.

Mr. Darcy's face was pale, but it was hard to see anything.On the contrary, Elizabeth seemed a little embarrassed, which was expected.

Without Lydia's loud voice, the room suddenly fell silent, and no one spoke for a while.

Mr. Bingley wanted to liven up the atmosphere, but unfortunately Mr. Collins took the lead. Mr. Collins was very curious about the Aunt Philip mentioned by Lydia's cousin, so he said to Mrs. Bennet, "I would like to see the Aunt Philip mentioned by Lydia's cousin just now." Aunt Philip, I think she must be a helpful and warm-hearted lady! I can hear this from what Cousin Lydia said. In order to find out information for Cousin Lydia, Aunt Philip used two relationships, Ask the officer through her husband’s friends! This kind of kindness is really rare! It’s not easy to come across! Like my cousin Lydia, I often have to go to great lengths to find out some information. It’s a pity that I don’t have such a well-meaning aunt Help! I daresay Cousin Lydia's inquiry would be much easier with an aunt like that!"

Everyone was speechless after hearing these words, only Mrs. Bennet was very happy to hear these words, she likes to hear compliments, there is no compliment that Mrs Bennet would not listen to, she happily told Collins Mr. said her sister, Mrs. Philip, was indeed a warm-hearted person. "Mr. Collins," said Mrs. Bennet, "you're quite right. Did you say you wanted to see Mrs. Philip? Oh, then Let Lydia and the others take you there, anyway, they go there all day long... Let me think about it, just tomorrow, tomorrow I will ask the family to arrange a carriage for you, and you all go to my sister, if If I'm free, I might as well go with you."

Mrs. Bennet arranged happily, but Mr. Collins could not accept her kindness. "I'm afraid I won't be able to go tomorrow, Mrs. Bennet," said Mr. Collins in a voice of great regret. Miss Lucas will have dinner at their house tomorrow, otherwise, how about we go the day after tomorrow?" Mr Collins discussed with Mrs Bennet.

Mrs. Bennet's complexion suddenly changed. She glanced at Miss Lucas angrily, and said to Mr. Collins angrily: "Sorry, Mr. Collins, our horses can only be freed tomorrow, if tomorrow If you can’t go, then you can’t go.”

Mr. Collins asked Mrs. Bennet if she was angry. Mrs. Bennet said with a straight face that she was not angry at all. After speaking to Mr. Collins, Mrs. Bennet turned her head towards Miss Lucas suddenly. Go, and say to the man with a sly voice: "Miss Lucas, you are so hospitable. You have invited Mr. Collins to your house one after another! Let me count it, oh my God, Mr. Collins only came over two short Zhou, but I have been to your house five or six times!"

"Not so many times," said Charlotte calmly, "Mrs. Bennet, you have counted wrongly. We have only had the honor of seeing you three times at Lucas Cottage during this period. The party, and all the neighbors were there that time."
