Miss Mary in Pride and Prejudice
Chapter 26 Those Unspeakable Chapters
Towards the end of the summer Georgiana returned from Ramsgate, and after more than two months of sea-bathing she appeared to be in good health and in good spirits.Mr. Darcy kept Georgiana tight-lipped about what had happened in Pemberley, and he did not want his sister to be exposed to such a dark reality.Elizabeth wrote a letter to tell Jane the whole story, lest Mr. and Mrs. Wickham go to them again to bluff. After receiving the letter, Jane was shocked beyond measure. She can only express her extreme distress for doing such a thing regardless of the sisterhood.
But Lydia didn't go to Howard's End to try her luck. She and Wickham had a small sum of money extorted from Mr. Darcy, and they were notorious in Britain. The two heard that many adventurers became famous in America. The story of the rich man traveled across the ocean to Monterrey, Mexico to find an opportunity to make a fortune.When Lydia left England, she only left a two-line message to Mrs. Bennet, which made Mrs. Bennet waste a lot of tears in the days to come.
Now Georgiana is planning a trip to the Lake District. Ever since she heard Mary tell about the beautiful scenery she saw in the Lake District last year, she has been yearning for it. Mr. Darcy always believes that a well-educated woman should not only read more books, but also Travel more and increase your knowledge.It was all the more reassuring, therefore, that he supported Georgiana's travel plans, especially when Georgiana was accompanied and supervised by the amiable and worldly Mrs. Annesley.
Georgiana repeatedly invited Mary to go with her, because Mary was familiar with the customs of the Lake District and could be her guide.Mary happily accepted Georgiana's invitation. On the one hand, because the Lake District was so beautiful, she wanted to have the opportunity to revisit the old place. On the other hand, she also wanted to drop by Leicester Castle to visit Anne.
When one thinks of Leicester Castle, one cannot help thinking of the owner there, but according to Mr. Darcy, the Earl of Leicester went to Egypt, where he provided military expenses for Admiral Nelson of the British Expeditionary Force, and sniped the French expedition to Egypt. army, and planned to wipe out the French army at the castle of Acre.
Mr. Darcy and the Earl of Leicester did not agree in their attitude towards Napoleon, the French general, but this did not affect the friendship between the two. Ambition will spell disaster for Britain and all of Europe.
Mary has neither common sense nor interest in these political matters, and she only draws one conclusion from these words—the Earl of Leicester will not return to Leicester Castle this autumn, so she decides to accompany Miss Darcy on a tour The Lake District, with a short stop at Ward House, the domain of Miss Darcy's uncle, the Earl of Bryan, before continuing north to Leicester Castle during the Grape Picking Festival, where they could spend a delightful fortnight with Anne.
They set off on a sunny autumn morning, Mary, Georgiana, and Mrs. Annesley in a buggy, and Mr. Darcy sent two of his footmen to escort them along the way, the weather was fine, and the company was so beautiful. A pleasant disposition, everyone is very comfortable and happy.
In order not to bore Mary, Mrs. Annesley suggested that the route of visiting the Lake District this time was different from that of last year. They first arrived at Bamberg Village near Bud Bay. A small quarry covered by green shade.The villagers told the three curious ladies that the stone from the quarry had built the famous Bamberg Castle nearby.
Mary once looked up the history of this castle in historical books, so when they walked along the seashore to the magnificent castle standing far away on the cliff, Mary told her companions about the history of this castle for hundreds of years. It has risen and fallen several times in the past. It was once prominent as the capital of a subjugated country, and it was also looted by wars, leaving only ruins.
Standing at the bottom of the cliff and looking up at this majestic castle, it is hard to imagine that it has experienced such a fate.It currently belongs to Baron Armstrong, who is said to have even married the daughter of an American banker in order to raise funds to restore the castle.Today, the Baron's family does not live in the castle, but is open to visitors. The parts that can be visited include the magnificent King's Hall, the Cross Hall, and the medieval-style pantry storage room, all inlaid with precious teak wood from Austria. And a weapon warehouse and dungeon as deep as 50 meters underground.
The entrance of the dungeon seemed to be blown by a dark wind. Both Mary and Georgiana retreated, but Mrs. Agnesley was very interested in the dungeon. She followed the gatekeeper of the castle and went down, while Mary and Georgiana went to the terrace. Go up and watch the various rare seabirds flying and circling on the beach while waiting for Mrs. Agnesley.
Standing on the terrace, with a panoramic view of the charming scenery of Hawley Island in the distance, Georgiana couldn't help sighing: "It's so beautiful, how magnificent! Compared with the eternal nature, what are the trivial worries of people?" What about it?" Mary was surprised that she would say that, and Georgiana explained embarrassingly: "To be honest, Mary, I just recently got rid of my wishful infatuation with the Earl of Leicester, thanks to my kindness. My sister-in-law Elizabeth and Mrs. Agnesley helped me find myself from the pain and haggardness. For a while, I lost myself and fell in love with each other. It is really a long-term pain to fall in love with someone secretly."
Mary didn't respond, but she thought silently in her heart: "Yes, but joy also breeds like this. The so-called joy in bitterness is what I'm talking about."
Georgiana caressed the old battlement walls and the rusty cannons on the battlements, and said: "Mary, you may feel impatient, but I still appreciate you always patiently listening to my self-pity, and Never make fun of me. In this world, few people have the patience to listen to other people's stories, because everyone has something to say; and no one likes to listen to other people's complaints, because everyone has their own pain. Loneliness, there are very few people in this world who are willing to listen and are used to silence, and you are undoubtedly the rarest of them."
Mary was deeply moved, she had never confided her heart to anyone, so she told Georgiana about everything she had with the Earl of Leicester. Georgiana was not surprised by the Count's proposal, because she The Emerald Valley Manor knew the Earl's feelings since she saw the portrait of Mary, but when she heard that Mary rejected the Earl's marriage proposal, she couldn't help but feel sorry for Mary and feel sympathy for the Earl. She shed tears involuntarily, but she was originally She is a sentimental and delicate woman. After hearing Mary's concerns about the status of both parties, she quickly understood Mary and felt more sympathy for Mary's difficulties.
Mary finally had a friend to tell what she had been keeping in her heart, and she felt a lot better, but she told Georgiana: "I used to think I didn't fall in love with him, but after Anne and Wickham, I felt I have fallen in love with him unconsciously. But those worries and obstacles still exist, making me stop. Now I always miss him at sunset, between the shadows of trees and books, in the quiet sadness, I don't think I'll ever fall in love with another man again."
Georgiana said loudly: "But, Mary, you have always been the most rational and sober person in my heart. Isn't it too self-deceiving? Maybe if you take a step forward, those concerns and obstacles will disappear."
Mary shook her head, "I don't want to mention my past to others again. Those loneliness and desolation struggling in the nightmare, I should leave it to time and gradually forget it." The two girls finally agreed that they would never mention these things to others. Treasure these forever as a secret between two people.
After a while Mrs. Agnesley came up from the dungeon, and she told them the story the porter had told her.It is said that when Earl Lancelot, the first knight of King Arthur's round table, eloped with King Arthur's wife, Gwennaville, the castle once became the temporary habitat of the pair of desperate mandarin ducks. She said that she led them to See the words of love purportedly engraved on the stone wall with a single diamond by Gwenaville.
Mary commented on this: "This immoral union will not last long in the end. The world only sees the desperate love from their anecdotes, and blindly praises and marvels, and when the love dies, The bitter fruit that comes with it has to be tasted by the two of them alone."
Mrs. Agnesley was surprised that Mary could say such thoughtful words at such a young age. Georgiana naturally knew that Mary felt it, and she herself felt deeply.Mrs. Agnesley, however, was a little unimpressed by Mary's pedantry, and that night, when they returned to the hotel where they were staying, she privately taught Georgiana in this way: It's not cute."
Georgiana often showed a mischievous side in front of Mrs. Agnesley. She asked: "What does it feel like to love someone? Is it as if you suddenly have a weakness that can be manipulated by others, and you suddenly have a defense that is invulnerable to swords and swords?" Armor? Just like the words engraved on the stone wall by Gwennaville. She abandoned King Arthur, and abandoned the glory and wealth that the world valued, because King Arthur was not worthy of her love, or because Earl Lancelot was too talented. charm?"
These questions stumped Mrs. Agnesley. She was a little dumbfounded. Georgiana ran into Mary's room with a giggle. Said that they had to get up early the next day to visit St. Peter's Basilica built in the Anglo-Saxon period, and the two girls turned off the lights and went to bed.
