I'm really a witch

However, in the end, the so-called noble friends invited by Mr. Bingley from London totaled no more than five people, including Mr. Bingley himself!

After all, the Lucas family was one of the best in the town in terms of status, and they were the first to enter the venue.The ball, held in the public hall at Longborn, was a welcome to Mr. Bingley from the town.

Circe didn't dress well, and she wasn't obsessed with dressing up herself. She only wore a dress that would not embarrass him according to Mr. Lucas's request, and put on a few or two pieces of jewelry to make her look It seems that he really looks like a person with status.

Mr. Bingley had brought his two sisters, and his brother-in-law, besides Mr. Good-hearted, whom Circe knew well.They, especially Miss Bingley, looked like a very typical London lady, with exquisite skirts, exquisite jewelry, and a reserved look.Even though she is not the typical beautiful girl at all, even if anyone from the Bennet family can be pulled out randomly, she can surpass her in terms of facial features alone, but her aura is there, and many young girls can't help but feel a head shorter. .

Mrs. Hurst resembled her sister very much, both in looks and manner.But after all, it is a married woman, the outline is somewhat softer.

Mr. Hurst looked like an ordinary gentleman. He couldn't find anything outstanding, but he couldn't find any faults either. He was ordinary and unobtrusive.

Most notable of all was Mr. Good Will, oh, and Circe now knew his name as Mr. Darcy.Standing with Mr. Bingley and Mr. Hurst, Circe could clearly feel his height. In addition to his tall and straight figure, even if he was dressed in black, he could not hide his handsomeness.

But he is so arrogant!

This was the most complaint Circe heard from the ladies chatting around.

At first, the ladies excitedly speculated about Mr. Darcy's net worth.I heard that the annual income is [-] pounds!Many girls who thought they were pretty were ready to move, but without exception, they were rejected indifferently.Naturally, the girls who had been slapped in the face had nothing good to say.

So what if you have more money?Not gentlemanly at all!I can't believe how such a man could befriend the amiable Mr. Bingley!

Girls always change their tongues very quickly.

This made Circe curious too.She was forced to go to the ball by the whole family, and she was not interested in dancing and was bored.

Probably because of avoiding dancing and avoiding experience, Circe can always find the most suitable hiding place at a glance.In fact, she is now comfortably huddled in an inconspicuous corner.The view from this position is very good, so she can easily patrol the dance floor and find the person she is looking for.

It's not hard to find.

The positions of those few people seemed to be separated from other people in two different worlds.

Except Mr. Bingley.He danced the first dance with Charlotte out of courtesy, invited Circe the third out of courtesy, and spent the rest of the time dancing happily with different girls without missing a single one.But it is not difficult to find that he has taken a fancy to Jane Bennet.It is not surprising that Jane is Langborn's well-deserved number one beauty.

Others are different.Mr. Hurst had occasional snacks, and the sisters and Mr. Darcy remained in the places they occupied almost the whole time, watching the ball with cold eyes.

Mr. Darcy actually hesitated a little.He was very surprised when he saw Circe at first sight. If he hadn't been used to facial paralysis, he might have revealed his truth directly.He even had a brief moment to ask her to dance.

After all, it was a bit embarrassing to see each other twice, so I asked her to dance as an apology.

Circe pretended to be very good, as if she had never seen this person in front of her before, she saluted and said hello, and then hid in a corner, almost never coming out again.

Darcy became inexplicably awkward, and quickly threw the ridiculous thought out of his mind, without taking a second look from the corner of his eye.

But she didn't know that Circe breathed a sigh of relief seeing him like this. She was afraid that this Mr. Darcy would show that he knew her, and it would be troublesome to explain.

Relying on staying in the corner by himself, Circe observed the group of people openly, with his eyes especially on Mr. Darcy.

This person is really interesting. I thought he was a warm-hearted person at first sight, but I added a shy label when I saw him for the second time, but now he looks like he is about to overthrow everything.Look at his icy face, there is no one more serious in the audience.

But Darcy felt his temples throbbing happily, someone's gaze was too existential.What an unreserved lady.

Miss Bingley only felt that the aura of the people around her became colder and colder, and she thought that he, like herself, could not stand this vulgar and boring ball at all, her words were unavoidably smug and condescending, and a slight blush appeared on her cheekbones .

"This can even be called a ball!" Miss Bingley held up her wine glass, her polite smile turned into a sarcasm, "What a bunch of savages, their words and deeds are so vulgar! I really don't know why my brother came here What do you say, Mr. Darcy?"

"...Indeed." Darcy nodded slightly, and turned half of his body sideways, hoping to avoid that line of sight.In fact he paid little attention to what Miss Bingley said.

Miss Bingley, however, seemed to have been greatly encouraged, and began to chatter, her words were full of belittlement of the dance and the people here, her eyes were bright with excitement, and her cheeks were also flushed abnormally.However, she still wanted to maintain the so-called elegant demeanor, which made her look extremely weird.

Circe lost interest after two glances, and the manner of the man was really contemptible.She thought she was an elegant young lady, but she was just covered with a shell.

But Darcy breathed a sigh of relief, the lady suddenly looked away, without the feeling of being on the back, he devoted some energy to discerning Miss Bingley's long speech, and occasionally gave a little response.

But soon he had to stand alone.It was one thing for Miss Bingley to dislike the ball, and quite another not to dance.If people see this, don't they think she is a girl sitting on the bench?That was intolerable to her.

"Darcy! Why are you standing here!" Of course, Bingley couldn't easily let his friend go.Mr. Bingley, who had just exited from the dance floor after dancing, was blushing with excitement, and his eyes were bright, as if he couldn't understand why someone would rather stand here in a daze than enjoy the wonderful dance.

"You must go to the dance! I never want to see you standing like this by yourself."
