Miss King in Pride and Prejudice

Serena has been paying attention to the dance floor. For these two dances, Miss Elizabeth has no partner and is sitting on the sofa by the dance floor. Near Miss Elizabeth, Mr. Bingley is talking to Mr. Darcy. The three of Serena are some distance away from the dance floor , could not hear the two gentlemen's conversation clearly, but Miss Elizabeth's position was so close that she could fully hear their conversation if she wanted to.This is the first collision between the two protagonists, and Serena stares at the three of them.

Georgiana and Charlotte also found Serena who was concentrating on observing something. They followed her line of sight and saw Mr. Darcy, Mr. Bingley and Miss Elizabeth.Georgiana asks Serena what she is looking at.

"That Miss Elizabeth can hear what the two gentlemen are saying." Serena replied while continuing to observe.

Georgiana, who was waiting for the next sentence, asked, "And then?"

Serena withdrew her gaze, looked at Charlotte and said, "Then it's up to Charlotte. Miss Elizabeth is Charlotte's good friend."

Charlotte looked at Serena who was smiling mischievously, got up helplessly, and walked towards Elizabeth.

"Serina, you're such a gossip." Georgiana teased Serena.

"So Georgiana doesn't want to know what your brother said to Mr. Bingley? Then I'll let Charlotte tell me in secret."

"No, I want to know too."

"Georgianna, you're such a gossip." Serena returned the words to Georgiana without any loss.

"You've become bad, Serena, you always bully me." Georgiana complained discouragedly.

"Is there? Georgiana, who is obviously angry, is too cute. Well, you see, Miss Elizabeth has gone to dance, and Charlotte should be back. Let's ask her."

"What did Miss Elizabeth say?"

"Mr. Bingley persuaded Mr. Darcy to invite the girl to dance, and also recommended Miss Elizabeth. Mr. Darcy said that Elizabeth was not beautiful enough to impress him, and said that he had no interest in kissing the neglected lady. Let Mr. Bingley Go back to Miss Bennet, the only beauty in the audience." Charlotte considered Georgiana's mood, and answered very objectively, obviously removing Miss Elizabeth's subjective feelings and her evaluation of Mr. Darcy.

Georgiana frowned as she listened, and Serena and Charlotte felt that there was nothing wrong with Mr. Darcy being such an impolite person.For a while, the three of them were a little cold.

"This may be the beginning of a strange fate. Miss Elizabeth is a beauty, and Mr. Darcy is a handsome gentleman. Such a special beginning may mean a special future. Don't you think so, Charlotte?"

"You're right, Elizabeth also took this as a joke."

Georgiana couldn't listen to the comfort of the two, she got up with a rare face, and walked towards Mr. Darcy.The two people who stayed in the corner exchanged opinions with each other. They didn't expect that Georgiana, who was always gentle, would suddenly react so strongly, especially Serena regretted asking Charlotte to inquire. She just wanted to know whether the development of reality was like a novel. If I had known that Georgiana would be unhappy, Serena must have not known about it. Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in the world. Georgiana has already gone to trouble her brother.

"Brother, come with me." Georgiana called Mr. Darcy away with a straight face, and led Mr. Darcy to the garden outside.

"Brother..." Georgiana never felt that there was anything wrong with her brother, and now she wanted to talk about her brother, but she didn't know what to say, so she hesitated for a while.

"What's the matter?" Seeing his younger sister angrily walking towards him, Mr. Darcy felt very strange. Now that his sister couldn't continue talking, Mr. Darcy became even more curious, "What can't you say to your brother?"

"Brother, why are you so rude to ladies? You say that Miss Elizabeth is not beautiful and you don't want to dance with her, and you dance with Charlotte with a straight face and don't talk to her. There are so many people watching at the dance, they will say brother no It's a gentleman, and my brother doesn't like Serena, she is my best friend." Georgiana lowered her head sadly.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Darcy, who didn't expect Georgiana to care about these, didn't know how to answer for a moment. He touched his sister's head, "Georgianna hopes that I can be gentle and courteous to all ladies, and I am a gentleman praised by everyone, and then I want your friends who like you is that so?"

"Yes, brother really hates Miss Elizabeth, Charlotte and Serena?"

"It's nothing, my brother doesn't hate them, he just doesn't like this kind of occasion."

"Brother is here to accompany me? Then I will come with Serena next time. Brother, you don't need to accompany me."

"It's not to the point that I can't come with you, brother will correct it next time." Mr. Darcy, who has nothing to do with his sister, replied helplessly.

Georgiana, who was satisfied with the answer, let go of Mr. Darcy, and went back to the room to find Serena and Charlotte. Mr. Darcy invited Miss Bingley to dance.In the next few dances, Mr. Darcy invited girls from Longbourne to dance, and his performance was no longer so rigid and he was more polite. However, because of Mr. Darcy's handsome face and annual income of [-] pounds, he was particularly lenient towards him. Mrs. Longbourne immediately felt that Mr. Darcy was a good gentleman, though haughty.

Georgiana was very satisfied with Mr. Darcy's subsequent performance, and Serena and Charlotte repeatedly expressed their approval. They both praised Mr. Darcy, and at the same time secretly decided that all gossip about Mr. Darcy should be kept from Georgiana in the future. Well, this time, Mr. Darcy may have offended Mr. Darcy. Look at his face when he invited the lady to dance, the corners of his mouth tightly, his eyes that didn't look at this, Miss Bingley's surprised expression, this is really not a beautiful scene. prom.

Things are already like this. Fortunately, Serena and Charlotte don't need to deal with Mr. Darcy very much, and seeing that Mr. Darcy still pays attention to Miss Elizabeth, he probably won't remember them too much.

It was obvious that Lady Luck was not on Serena's side. When Serena went to get the juice, Mr. Darcy saw her. Serena blinked a little guilty, smiled at Mr. Darcy, and then wanted to pass by like this Mr. Darcy, but Mr. Darcy stopped Serena: "Miss King, can I ask you something?"

Serena wanted to say no, but she didn't have the courage to refuse the serious Mr. Darcy, "Of course, Mr. Darcy."

"Excuse me, did you tell Georgiana about my conversation with Mr. Bingley?" This question was uttered in an affirmative tone.

Serena, who didn't expect to be questioned like this, calmed herself down, so she took a light breath and replied, "I don't know where Mr. Darcy came to this conclusion?"

"Miss King, if I remember correctly, was looking in our direction when I spoke to Mr. Bingley."

"Yes, Mr. Darcy, I saw you guys chatting, but I can't hear people talking so far away at a lively dance party. My hearing is not that good. Does Mr. Darcy understand?" Serena gritted her teeth .

"If so, may I ask how did you know about our conversation?"

"The dance party is a public place, as long as someone hears it, it will spread. I can tell you with certainty that now half of the people at the dance party know what you are talking about. Do you still want to discuss this issue with me at the dance party?" ?”

Mr. Darcy looked at Serena who was mocking him, and tightened the corners of his mouth.

"Since there is nothing else, I'll go back and find Georgiana and Charlotte first." Serena turned and went back without even taking a drink.

Seeing Serena returning empty-handed with a bad face, both of them asked her what was wrong, but Serena just shook her head with a wry smile and didn't say anything.On the contrary, Charlotte probably saw Mr. Darcy talking to Serena, and she patted Serena's hand sympathetically.

The dance ended soon, and everyone went home. Although Serena watched the excitement, she also caused trouble for herself, which made her less enthusiastic about watching the plot.
