[Pride and Prejudice] Crossing into Elizabeth

Mr. Collins' voice suddenly became very indignant: "Mrs. Bennet, I must ask you to explain to me, because I have never done or said anything to make you angry."

No one expected Mr. Collins to attack suddenly, and to say such amazing things.

Everyone turned their eyes to Mrs. Bennet and Mr. Collins in unison. Mr. Collins looked at Mrs. Bennet with a straight face, which was both angry and proud.

Mrs. Bennet was suddenly sent to the army, but she reacted quickly. As soon as Mr. Collins finished speaking, Mrs. Bennet said strangely: "Mr. Collins, I think you may have misunderstood me. I have never said such things, I have never said that what you do is irritating...or you have a guilty conscience and feel that what you have done is too much, but it's better to pretend that I didn't say it. "

Mr. Collins became even angrier at once. Elizabeth was really afraid that they would quarrel on the spot regardless of their sympathy. Just when the carriage finally appeared, Elizabeth saw the carriage as if it was a life-saving straw. After stopping at the gate, Elizabeth reminded everyone that the carriage had arrived.

"Jane, your carriage is coming," Elizabeth said eagerly, "you can go...Mr. Darcy," Elizabeth turned to Mr. Darcy, and said eagerly with embarrassment, "We won't keep you. "

Mr. Darcy only nodded with a smile. He understood Elizabeth's embarrassment and her desire to send them away quickly. After Elizabeth had told him, she quickly gave Mrs. Bingley a wink.

Jane quickly asked Mr. Bingley to go together. Mr. Bingley said goodbye to Mrs. Bennet. Mrs. Bennet told them to be careful on the road. Mr. Darcy followed suit. Elizabeth sent the guests to the door. Mr. Darcy knew that Elizabeth was so embarrassed Very soon, I didn't say anything else to her, I just said goodbye before getting into the carriage.

Elizabeth watched the carriage slowly drive away, and then she breathed a sigh of relief, and slowly walked back into the house.

As soon as he entered the house, he heard the voices of Mrs. Bennet arguing with Mr. Collins again. Mr. Collins angrily insisted that Mrs. Bennet explain to him clearly, otherwise he would not be able to leave Longbourne, "I have always been respectful. Respectfully to you and Mr. Bennett, Mr. Bennett seems to be very friendly, and he is also very kind to me. On the first day, he praised me as a rare young man, "It's really rare in the world, rare to see" , These are Mr. Bennet’s original words, and there’s not a word wrong, but who would have thought that, when I went to ask him to agree to my marriage with my cousin Mary, he suddenly turned his face and refused to agree to me, That's all right, I know that this kind of thing depends on luck, and it may not be my bad luck, maybe... But it's better not to say this, but now even you, Mrs. Bennet! Do the same to me! Don't say I did something wrong to offend you! If I did something wrong, or said something wrong, I would apologize to you, but you can't tell, Bennett. I don't want to do that, madam, I treat you and everyone in your family with respect, but I want to leave with such a reputation! Mr. Darcy hears it very clearly! Wait for Mr. Darcy to see you Mrs. Catherine, he will tell her the whole thing! But I was wronged, it was nothing! I can’t admit it! If you don’t give me an account, I won’t leave, I You can't visit Rosings with such a reputation..."

Mrs. Bennet interrupted Mr. Collins again, and she said impatiently: "What's the matter with you? Didn't I tell you that it was a misunderstanding! Misunderstanding! Mr. Collins, why don't you understand?" What about me?"

"Misunderstanding?" cried Mr. Collins. "You speak so lightly! Mr. Darcy was here just now, and Mr. Darcy listened to what you said. If he said anything to Lady Catherine back, I would But what can we do? Mrs. Bennet, you must make it clear to Mr. Darcy that things are not what he thinks!"

Kitty felt it was very boring to hear the two of them quarreling, and there was no room for herself to intervene, and Mrs. Bennet refused to let her go, so Kitty took out a small mirror from her body, and looked at herself in it.

Mary didn't want to see Mr. Collins very much. She had kept a straight face since she was called down. She sat on another sofa with her back to Mr. Collins and pretended not to listen to them.

Mr. Collins was so unscrupulous in telling what happened last night, and shouting so loudly, that Mary blushed and ran upstairs without saying a word.

Mrs. Bennet didn't understand her daughter's feelings. When she saw Mary running, she shouted, "Run, run!" She yelled behind Mary, "Don't let me take care of you when you are sick. I have never given birth to such a heartless girl like you!"

"Mrs. Bennet!" said Mr. Collins resolutely, "don't change the subject! I won't go until you give me an account. I had planned to leave next Tuesday, but I had to put it off. "

"Oh—" Mrs. Bennet said in a nonchalant tone, as if deliberately irritating Mr. Collins, "then you can go ahead and stay. We can afford a few meals at Longbourne, but you are here The longer we live at home, the more difficult it is to tell when we go back, you can't tell people that we have treated you badly, because if we hate you, we won't let you live for so long."

"My God," cried Mr. Collins, "if you're so unreasonable, I'll have to go to Mr. Bennet, I'll have to have Mr. Bennet judge me! , as you can see, I didn't say a few words to Mr. Bennett this morning, but now I can't care so much, I can only let Mr. Bennett decide for me!"

Elizabeth sat some distance away from them, listening to Mrs. Bennet and Mr. Collins as if listening to a farce. When Mr. Collins said that he was going to find Mr. Bennet, Elizabeth felt that she had to stand up. Stopped them, she knew Mr. Bennet was absolutely impatient to be disturbed by such things.

But before Elizabeth could speak, Mrs. Bennet suddenly said in a completely different tone: "Don't worry, Mr. Collins, I was just joking with you just now. Of course I will tell Mr. Darcy for you. It's clear—but to be honest, I don't think it's necessary to explain anything at all—but if you want me to go, I can go, but you have to promise me one thing."

Mr. Collins cheered up, as if he had seen hope, and asked Mrs. Bennet what was the matter.

Elizabeth also listened attentively, and she had a bad premonition, so she heard Mrs. Bennet say triumphantly: "This matter is just a trivial matter to you, Mr. Collins, and it is not difficult at all."

Everyone was waiting for Mrs. Bennet to reveal the answer. Even Kitty put down the mirror in her hand and looked at Mrs. Bennet very curiously, but Mrs. Bennet wanted to keep her secret.

Mr. Collins was very itchy. He couldn't wait to know what Mrs. Bennet wanted him to promise, and he promised again and again: "If I can, madam, you can say it."

Mrs. Bennet thought that this sudden idea was really great. After she whetted Mr. Collins' appetite, she finally took out the medicine sold in the gourd: "Didn't Miss Lucas invite you to dinner tomorrow?" Why don't you push her, and we'll go to my sister, Mrs. Philip, tomorrow. Don't you say you want to see her very much, Mr. Collins? How about it? Is my request more to your liking?"

When Mr. Collins heard this, the expression on his face became tangled. He didn't know whether he should agree to Mrs. Bennet's request. If he agreed to Mrs. Bennett's request, what would he say to Miss Lucas?

"...God, mother," Elizabeth cried out immediately, "what are you talking about?" As she spoke, she got up quickly and walked towards Mrs. Bennet, this time she had to stop her No, you can't let her do that.

Mrs. Bennet was very displeased that Elizabeth intervened at this time. She could see that Mr. Collins was hesitating. At this time, as long as she worked harder and persuaded Mr. Collins a few words, she would be able to disrupt the wishful thinking of the Lucas family. Yellow, huh, they want to replace her as the hostess of Longbourn, they have a good idea!

Mrs. Bennet was afraid that Elizabeth would come and spoil her, so she immediately scolded Elizabeth with a straight face: "Stand aside, I'm talking to Mr. Collins, what are you talking about!"

Elizabeth didn't care what Mrs. Bennet said, nor what Mrs. Bennet would say about her afterwards. She quickly sat down next to Mrs. Bennet, and Mr. Collins looked over quickly with hesitant eyes. .

Elizabeth took a deep breath and said to Mrs. Bennet: "Mom, what you said just now is so unreasonable. Charlotte came here to invite Mr. Collins with good intentions, and Mr. Collins also agreed to go to Lucas Cottage for dinner tomorrow. Obviously everyone is very happy, how can you ask Mr. Collins to break his promise? If Mr. Collins really agrees to your request, what will Charlotte think of Mr. Collins, and what will the Lucas family think of Mr. Collins? ? What would other people think of Mr. Collins?"

Elizabeth paused deliberately when she said this. In fact, she mainly said these words to Mr. Collins. She could see that Mr. Collins was undecided, so she gave him something to prevent him from being overwhelmed by Mrs. Bennet's words. The instigation, really agreed to come down.
