still loving You
Chapter 73
After seeing off the guests, the Bennett family did not fall silent.
Everyone sat around the living room, and the sweet smile on Jane's face was particularly eye-catching, making everyone wonder what happened between her and Mr. Bingley during this period of time.
"Jane, what did you guys say?" Lydia, who was outspoken, had already asked the question for everyone.
Facing everyone's eager gazes at the same time, Jane blushed rarely, and her tone was a little shy: "It's nothing, even Mr. Bingley proposed to me, and I agreed."
"awesome!"
"This is really good!"
"..."
For a moment, the living room was filled with mixed congratulatory voices, but without exception, they were all envious.
Mrs. Bennet put her arms around Jane, and said in a relaxed tone: "My dear Jane, you did a great job of tying up Mr. Bingley so quickly! Now, I am finally going to marry a daughter."
Immediately afterwards, she turned her head to Elizabeth again, blinked at her, and reminded: "Lizzie, you have to hurry up."
Elizabeth smiled, noncommittal.
But regarding Jane's matter, everyone didn't joke around for long, and they all returned to their rooms.
It is also the living room, but the atmosphere of Netherfield Garden is not so lively.
Darcy was not too surprised by the news that Bingley and the eldest lady of the Bennett family, Jane, had successfully proposed marriage.
So just lost in thought after congratulating the Bentley.
He had to think about how to get rid of Elizabeth's resistance to him.
**
In the next few days, when Darcy followed Bingley to visit Bennett's house, he always missed Elizabeth, who was going to sketch, very "unfortunately". The dissatisfaction in my heart is getting heavier and heavier.
Maybe a different strategy.
Darcy pondered in his mind.
Immediately afterwards, in the following days, Darcy and Bingley visited Sir Lucas together, and tactfully proposed to hold a ball.
In fact, Meryton had not had a ball for a long time since the Wickham affair.Therefore, when he heard the news that the two gentlemen wanted to hold a ball this time, Sir Lucas not only readily agreed, but also promised that he would try his best to help them.
The two sides quickly reached a consensus.
Therefore, taking advantage of the opportunity of Mr. Bingley and Mr. Darcy returning to Longbourn, the news that Meryton, which has been quiet for a long time, will hold a dance party spreads quickly throughout the town.
***
This time the ball was held at Netherfield.
A few days ago, the housekeeper and servants of the residence got busy and started to arrange the venue.
Therefore, when the guests arrived at the hall that day, the inside had been carefully arranged beautifully.
The sound of music from the hall was mixed with the sound of conversation. Darcy looked down at the time, and then looked in the mirror again. He put on his top hat and walked out of the room until he confirmed that there was nothing wrong with him.
The Bennett family came neither early nor late this time. As guests of the host's house, they were naturally warmly received.Mr. and Mrs. Bennet were perfectly satisfied without saying a word.
At the beginning of the scene, Bingley walked over and held Jane's hand without hesitation. Under the envious or blessing eyes of everyone, he danced on the dance floor, immersing himself in the world of only the other party.
There were people coming and going in the hall, and after being accidentally bumped into by someone for the third time, Elizabeth distanced herself from the crowd without showing any signs, and walked aside.
Darcy's frequent visits recently have bothered her a lot.Even though she went out to sketch early every time, this method was not a covert and safe method. Elizabeth was afraid that her family would find out something, but there was no other good way, which made Elizabeth feel dizzy.
I'm sure I'll run into Darcy in a while, but before that, let her go to the corner to brew some emotions.
But obviously a pretty lady is welcome everywhere, even if she's hiding in a corner.
Just as Elizabeth stood still, someone came up to invite: "Miss, can I invite you to dance?"
Oh, it turned out to be a strange officer. It seemed that he had never seen a face before.
Pursing her lips, before Elizabeth had time to say no, she heard someone make a decision for her: "She is my dance partner."
Who else could be the speaker besides Darcy?
"This gentleman seems to be the lady I invited first." The officer who came first did not believe his words, and looked at Elizabeth suspiciously, trying to get her to prove himself.
Elizabeth glanced at Darcy in front of her and nodded to him, proving that what the visitor said was true.
Therefore, thinking that he had confidence, when the strange man raised his head to face Darcy again, his eyes inevitably showed a touch of provocation.
Darcy is not a person who likes to argue. When encountering such a thing, he just stares at Elizabeth.
Elizabeth just lowered her head, avoiding Darcy's eyes.
Darcy stood more and more straight, and his tall figure naturally formed an oppressive trend.
The three of them stood in a circle, and the atmosphere was obviously very awkward, and someone was already looking over here.
In the end, he couldn't bear her difficulty, Darcy pursed his lips, and took the lead to take a step back: "Well, I'll wait for you here."
The man took advantage of the opportunity to invite her again, and Elizabeth couldn't refuse, so she forgot Darcy in dissatisfaction. If he didn't intervene, how could the matter be so troublesome.
Soon after the dance was over, Elizabeth walked back to the original place, and the dance partner at the side saw that Darcy was still there, and left spontaneously.
Seeing that the person left, Elizabeth looked at Darcy, and her tone became less gentle: "Tell me, Mr. Darcy, what's the matter this time? If it's okay, I'm sorry, I feel a little uncomfortable, and I want to be alone stay."
"Of course there is something." Of course, Darcy could hear the sign of Elizabeth's tone of letting go, and replied kindly.
Looking at the surroundings who were either concealing or blatantly looking at her, Elizabeth pursed her lips, lowered her voice, and said helplessly: "If you have something to say, it's not convenient here."
"When is it after?" Darcy insisted on asking clearly.
Elizabeth frowned and said, "Tomorrow."
After getting the exact time, Darcy added leisurely: "I hope that when you come to the door tomorrow, you won't just go out."
Hearing this, Elizabeth felt uncomfortable for a moment, but she quickly recovered: "Don't worry, Mr. Darcy, I think I'm still a man of my word. However, I beg to set the location outside."
After Darcy agreed, Elizabeth excused herself to find some familiar ladies and left.
But even so, Darcy's mood improved a lot, so when Bingley came to look for him during his break, he saw Mr. Darcy in a good mood.
He asked Darcy who was beside him, "What happened when I wasn't here just now?"
Darcy waved his hand and replied, "Nothing."
Seeing Darcy like this, Bingley didn't ask any more questions, but changed the subject and said, "You don't want to dance?"
Darcy was expressionless: "Not interested."
"I'm afraid they didn't agree to it." Seeing Darcy's uneasy expression, Bingley said again, "Caroline wrote that she would come over soon. What about your sister?"
"She won't come, and besides, I'm going back soon." Darcy replied lightly.
"Huh?" Bingley obviously hadn't reacted yet, he asked aloud, "Are you planning to give up on Miss Elizabeth?"

A Thousand Miles of Chasing His Wife (4)
A Thousand Miles of Chasing His Wife (4)
[He said not to be together, but he didn't think so in his heart. 】
Hearing this, Darcy also put down the knife and fork in his hand, nodded to Elizabeth, and began to talk about the topic.
"Let's just talk straight, Lizzie," said Darcy.
When he said this, his eyes fell firmly on Elizabeth who was sitting opposite him, quite aggressively.
However, Elizabeth didn't seem to be affected at all, she just shifted her eyes to the window not far away, her eyes wandering.
For some unknown reason, Darcy suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart, as if in the blink of an eye, the woman in front of him might disappear.
He cleared his throat and said in a deep voice, "I want you to reconsider my proposal."
Elizabeth smiled indifferently: "Mr. Darcy thinks that I, Elizabeth Bennett, should not miss you no matter what?"
"You know that's not what I meant, Lizzie," Darcy breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that Elizabeth's attitude softened as he wished, and then continued: "Anna told you about my coma. "
Elizabeth nodded. Georgiana did mention this matter when she wrote to her.
She still remembers the panic at that time, but there is no need to tell Darcy about such things.
Seeing Elizabeth's reaction, Darcy stared closely into her eyes, and said seriously: "When I was in a coma, I actually had a dream. It was so real. It was so real that I wondered whether I should give up on you."
Without interrupting him, Elizabeth just listened patiently to Darcy.
Darcy didn't expect any response from Elizabeth, so he just briefly described his dream to her, but this was enough to shock Elizabeth.
Darcy may just think he had a dream, but for Elizabeth, this is her personal experience in her previous life.
So now, she feels that this feeling is too subtle, and it also makes her panic.
Is this to remind her not to fall into such an environment again?
Thinking of this, Elizabeth interrupted Darcy, and said the first words since Darcy recalled the dream: "So you hesitated for so long just because of a dream? You don't think you love me as much as you think. .”
After getting along with him for so many years, Elizabeth stepped on Darcy's painful foot accurately.
Elizabeth did not pause, and continued to ask: "Mr. Darcy, do you know that Wickham has left Longbourne?"
"Yes." Darcy nodded. He had heard about this matter, but he didn't think it had anything to do with what they were talking about now.
He opened his mouth and wanted to explain the question just now, but Elizabeth cut him off again.
"Then do you know why he left?" Elizabeth continued.
Darcy didn't speak, he never cared about Wickham, so even when he came to Longbourne and found out that Wickham had left, he didn't investigate carefully.Therefore, facing Elizabeth's question at this moment, it was rare for him not to be able to answer it.
Elizabeth didn't want Darcy to answer, she didn't even raise her eyes to pay attention to the expression on Darcy's face, she just said to herself: "I did it. Before I came back from London, I found someone, here , that Miss Edward, but it was just someone I found to trick Wickham. She is not a descendant of the Edward family at all, but just a courtesan I asked Frederick to help me find in London. I motioned to Frederick Redrick helped her elevate her status, made Wickham think she was noble, and let her use tricks to trap Wickham. This was just the first step, preventing him from seducing Lydia again. Then , I ordered people to expose Vera's identity behind my back, so that everyone in the town could see Wickham's ugly face clearly. In the end, I also let Vera release rumors of her pregnancy, completely ruining Wickham's reputation."
"To put it bluntly, I think Wickham is not a good person, and I was afraid that Lydia would do something bad, so I acted first." Elizabeth looked at Darcy without blinking her eyes. : "Look, I'm so unscrupulous, are you sure you can accept it, Mr. Darcy?"
Darcy was silent.
Spreading her hands, Elizabeth smiled self-deprecatingly, and the words she said contained a touch of irony: "So, what you keep saying you love all the time is not the real me at all, but just a phantom in your heart."
After finishing speaking, Elizabeth picked up the teacup on the table, drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, Shi Shiran stood up, pulled up the corner of her skirt, and said goodbye to Darcy: "That's it, this matter I hope it will never be mentioned again. Good-bye, Mr. Darcy."
After speaking, he raised his foot and wanted to go outside.
But suddenly Elizabeth's forward foot stopped moving.
It was Darcy who held her hand and stopped her movement.
Elizabeth did not look back, and said in a cold tone: "I think I have told you clearly enough, Mr. Darcy. So, please let me go."
After finishing speaking, she was suddenly froze in place by the warmth sticking up behind her.
Darcy sighed, his tone full of helplessness: "You always don't listen to what I say."
He raised his hand and rubbed the top of Elizabeth's hair, causing her originally tied bun to loosen slightly for this reason.
"You have to give me some time to get used to it. You just don't want to listen to my answer and draw conclusions on your own. Lizzie, do you think this is really good? What are you afraid of?" Darcy was not angry either. He's just talking about things.
Elizabeth broke free from Darcy's hand, turned around, put her arms around her chest, and faced Darcy head-on, forming a defensive posture: "Then ask your heart..."
"Hmm." Darcy suddenly covered Elizabeth's mouth.
"Don't talk, listen to me first, okay?" Darcy spoke first to comfort Elizabeth.
Seeing that she really listened to what he said, she moved her hand away, but the soft touch just now seemed to be still stuck to her hand, and she couldn't get rid of it.
Darcy deliberately ignored the numbness that spread from the palm of his hand to his heart, and said seriously: "You always seem to be full of hostility towards me, but I am always attracted to you. Lizzie, can you have some confidence in yourself? It is quite clear that what I like in my heart is you, not some so-called phantom. Have you forgotten how good you are? Even if there are so many women around me, they can't cover up your brilliance."
As if he was embarrassed, he paused, and then continued: "Do you remember what I said when I proposed to you for the first time? I have to declare that I made a big mistake. When we first met , not a ball at all, but on the balcony of St Paul's Cathedral."
As he said that, he asked someone to take the painting that Frederick walked along and named "Meeting the Sunshine" by him, and unfolded it in front of Elizabeth.
Darcy thought that Elizabeth would be so touched that she would throw herself into his arms. After all, the first meeting by chance was remembered. Anyway, the person concerned would definitely be very moved, not to mention that he had once again confessed his love sincerely before. .
Although the marriage proposal line has the help of his own sister.But even so, isn't it worth tempting to propose so sincerely?
But he forgot that the woman he was looking for——Elizabeth was such a strong-willed and independent woman.
Even at this time, she didn't even change her expression.
Elizabeth raised her eyebrows, and said to Darcy: "Well, what then? What if you remember? Mr. Darcy, I think you have misplaced your priorities. The problem between us is not here at all."
"I know what you're going to say about differences in families and values." Referring to the questions he had prepared, Darcy seemed confident: "I know that your family has invested money in Frederick for business. , although I don't care, but your family can make such efforts to narrow the gap between us, frankly, Lizzie, I am very touched."
Darcy was reserved by nature, and Elizabeth knew that it was not easy for him to be able to say these words, but did he make a mistake?Elizabeth felt that it was necessary for her to explain: "That has nothing to do with you..."
"Okay, it has nothing to do with me," Darcy readily stopped dwelling on this issue and said instead, "I can't guarantee that there won't be any conflicts after marriage, but Lizzie, I will do my best to give you what you want. If someone wants to hurt you, I will do my best to protect you. If you are hurt, I will never let you be bullied in vain. So what else do you have to worry about?"
Speaking of this, he paused for two seconds, took a deep breath, and then said loudly: "Lizzie, please marry me!"
The author has something to say: =. = Rest assured, little angels, on Recovery Day this week! !
Because of Xiange's death, he applied for the list and even spelled with the goddess~~It's so rippling to think about~

Georgiana is pregnant, so she hasn't been out with Frederick recently.
Today, Frederick has not come back, and Georgiana has been told that her husband is going to be cornered.
So, when the Duke returned home, the Duchess had been sitting on the sofa waiting for him for a long time.
- I heard that a little girl confessed to you tonight?
-how come?Who is telling the truth?I must punish him well.
- It's nobody else's business.
Georgiana gave him a disapproving look.
Frederick knew something was wrong, and hurriedly dismissed the servants in the living room.
He stepped forward and gently rubbed Georgiana's pregnancy-swollen leg.

A Thousand Miles of Chasing His Wife (5)
[Finally made this decision. 】
By the time Elizabeth got home, it was already evening.
The family had already had dinner and were chatting in the living room.
Mary stopped and asked Elizabeth, "Lizzie, why did you come back?"
Elizabeth didn't answer either, but just distributed the hairbands she bought in a small shop to the sisters and let them choose by themselves, successfully diverting the topic away from herself.
"I want this red one."
"Then I'll take the green one."
"I also want this green one. Jane, don't you already have a green one? My dear sister, you will soon fulfill me."
"..."
After Elizabeth helped the sisters choose the headbands she was satisfied with, she chatted briefly with Mr. and Mrs. Bennett, and then returned to her room.
What happened today had a huge impact on her. Elizabeth originally thought that she would have to toss and turn for a long time like last night before falling asleep, but as soon as she climbed into bed, she fell into a deep sleep.
**
The time has to go back to three hours ago.
When Darcy proposed again, Elizabeth knew her heart was shaken.
But she didn't speak.
Time seemed to be frozen, one second after another, passing extremely long.
Elizabeth was thinking, and Darcy was waiting for her answer.
"Darcy, let's think about it separately," Elizabeth said.
"Why?" Darcy seemed to squeeze out the words from his teeth, but he didn't notice that his voice was rare and hoarse.
Elizabeth noticed it, but at this time, she knew that she must not soften her heart, so she hardened her heart and broke off Darcy's fingers one by one, and walked away.
**
When Darcy returned to Netherfield that night, he started to pack his luggage. This behavior made Bentley confused. He was obviously in a good mood when he went out, so why did he just go out and was about to leave?
He thought for a while, but decided to speak: "Darcy, you want to leave?"
"I thought I was being obvious enough," replied Darcy icily.
"Why?" Bingley suddenly realized: "Because of Elizabeth?"
"..." Darcy pursed his lips in silence and did not speak.
"How about..." Bingley wanted to persuade him again, but Darcy stopped him.
Darcy waved his hand, with a gloomy face: "Don't persuade me, Bentley. I have made up my mind to go, and I will leave tomorrow morning."
Hearing what he said, Bingley couldn't say anything more, so he turned around and left in silence.
"Wait." Darcy stopped him.
Bentley stopped and looked at Darcy.
Darcy reached out and took a painting from the side, and handed it to Bingley.
"What is this?" Bentley wondered.
"After I'm gone, if you go to Bennett's house again, please help me pass this thing to Elizabeth." Darcy didn't answer Bingley's question directly, but just instructed.
Bingley nodded and replied, "Okay."
After thinking about it, I added another sentence: "Do I need to bring anything?"
Darcy refused, "No need."
Bingley had no choice but to take the things in Darcy's hand, turned and left his room.
***
Early the next morning, Darcy took the packed luggage and walked to the carriage waiting outside the door.
When Bingley went out to see him off, Darcy took out another envelope and handed it to him: "Help me and give this to Elizabeth as well."
Bentley didn't ask about the content, and nodded his head as a response: "Bon voyage."
"Well. You can bring Miss Bennet to Pemberley in the future." Darcy said to Bingley who still had a reluctant expression on his face.
"Aren't you going to come to Longbourne again?" Bingley was very surprised.
Darcy just said: "Let's see."
After speaking, he quickly got into the carriage.
The carriage drove all the way in the direction of Pemberley.
***
Bentley has been busy lately.
His sister Caroline was at Netherfield at last, and she was with her, and her group of friends, who had come to visit.
So even though Caroline was familiar enough with Netherfield, Bentley took the time to entertain everyone.
It would be three days before he could go to Bennett's house to visit Jane after he had time to spare.
Of course, he did not forget Darcy's instructions before he left. He took the painting and the letter and went to Bennett's house in a carriage.
*
Mrs. Bybennet always liked to give the young couple some time alone, and the drawing room was quickly empty.
Bingley looked at Elizabeth who was lagging behind, and shouted loudly: "Please wait!"
After finishing speaking, he said to Jane: "Jane, can you wait for me first? I have something to say to Elizabeth alone."
Jane nodded, and responded: "Okay, then you guys talk here, I'll wait for you in the garden."
After speaking, he left.
love you like life (1)
love you like life (1)
[Only when you lose it will you know how to cherish it. 】
"Mr. Bingley, what can you do?" Elizabeth asked lightly.
Bingley looked at the girl in front of him, her face was extremely calm, and she stood upright.
This discovery made him feel a little depressed.
Perhaps because he knew that Darcy's departure had something to do with Elizabeth, Bingley still had some emotions when he spoke: "As you wish, Darcy has left."
Hearing this, Elizabeth was stunned for a moment.
Darcy's departure made her completely unexpected.
"Why?" As soon as the words were asked, Elizabeth felt a little regretful.
What does his going or staying have to do with him?
"About the reason, I think you will know better than me," his voice was muffled, and it sounded muffled: "This is what I handed over to you from Dacito."
As he spoke, he fetched the paintings and letters from the carriage, and handed them all to Elizabeth.
Elizabeth came back to her senses and thanked Bentley.
Bingley waved his hand, saying that there was nothing to be polite, and went to the garden to find Jane.
Only Elizabeth was left in the living room, empty as if whose heart?
**
"Jane!" Bingley shouted seeing Jane standing there from afar.
Jane turned her head and showed him a bright smile.
Bingley took three steps and two steps, and quickly walked in front of Jane.
"Look at the sweat on your head, I told you not to be so anxious, just wipe it off first." Jane took out a handkerchief and handed it to Bingley.
Watching him take the handkerchief from her hand, Jane asked again: "Have you finished talking with Lizzie?"
"En." Bingley nodded, and was about to put the handkerchief back into his pocket.
"Oh, that's my handkerchief." Jane said hurriedly to him, reaching for the handkerchief in Bingley's hand.
Bingley stopped her movement: "I'll return it to you after I wash it."
Jane had no choice but to agree with him, and the two walked into the depths of the garden together.
"What did you and Lizzie say?" Jane asked curiously.
Bingley replied: "Darcy has gone back to Pemberley."
"Mr. Darcy has returned to Pemberley? So suddenly. Is he in a hurry?" Jane was puzzled: "But what does this have to do with Lizzie?"
"Darcy proposed to your sister, but she refused." Bingley didn't want to say it at first, but seeing the doubt on Jane's face, he still revealed the secret to her.
Hearing Bingley's words, Jane tightly covered her open mouth with her hand, and sighed, "Oh my god! I don't know anything about it. Lizzie is hiding it too deeply."
However, she was only surprised for a while, and her attention was turned away from Elizabeth's concealment: "Forgive me for not seeing it earlier, but Mr. Darcy has a crush on Lizzie!"
Compared to Jane's shock, Bingley was much calmer. He spread his hands and said to Jane: "I thought he was obvious enough. But, I think, if he can be as honest as me, oh no, Or be as persistent as I am, and he has a chance of success. After all, I don't look at your sister indifferently to Darcy."
This made Jane angry and funny, she stretched out her hand and poked Bingley's body, and then said: "You are really immodest."
Bingley smiled, put his arms around Jane's shoulders, and the two talked about other topics while walking.
**
Now, about Elizabeth.
She stood in the living room for a while, then slowly walked back to her room with the painting and letter.
In fact, she knew that the painting was in Frederick's, but he liked it, so she didn't ask for it back. Who knows, it ended up in Darcy's hands. Now.Miraculously, he returned to her side.
Elizabeth put away the painting properly, and then sat down on the chair.
Playing with the letter in her hand, she opened and closed the seal several times with her nimble fingers. Finally, she made up her mind to open the envelope and took out the letter paper.
Familiar font, greetings as always.
Elizabeth didn't know what it was like in her heart.
She put her messy thoughts behind her and calmed down to read the long letter in her hand.
"... Lizzie, please allow me to call you that, I hope you don't think I'm being presumptuous. I don't know when Bingley will hand over the letter to you, but I must have left by the time you read this letter Longbourn."
"I don't know if you will be moved by my leaving, or if you don't feel at all. But no matter what, you are willing to open this letter, and I still thank God."
"Some things can't be said in person, so let me write them down. I'm afraid that if I don't say it, you will never know."
Elizabeth pulled back her hair, which was a little distracting from her eyes because it was hanging down in front of her eyes, calmed down and read on:
"You are different and unique from all the women I have met. I have never seen such a contradictory character, warm, kind, and calm. Before I met you, I never knew that I would fall in love with such a woman .Not to mention that one day, I will be like an ordinary kid, bowing my head again and again in order to please my sweetheart. If someone told me two years ago, one day, I would A woman's happiness and joy, sadness and sadness, I must have thought he was joking."
"But now, I've met you."
After reading this, Elizabeth's long and curled eyelashes trembled slightly. It could be seen that her heart was fluctuating a lot, but she still didn't put down the letter paper in her hand:
"You're really insecure, and up until now, I've thought I'd make you feel dependable. But you don't believe me, and it's driving me crazy. I've studied modern languages , learned how to salute gracefully, learned how to be a good heir to the Darcy family, but they never taught me how to please a girl, especially when she didn't love me at all."
No.
You are so nice, how could she not love you.
Putting down the letter paper in her hand, Elizabeth stood up, walked to the window and leaned up, staring at the glow in the west in a daze.
Mary came back from outside and happened to pass Elizabeth's room.Seeing Elizabeth standing by the window, she yelled at Elizabeth: "Lizzie, what are you doing?"
Elizabeth was startled by Mary's actions, she quickly came back to her senses, smiled at Mary and said, "Honey, what do you want from me?"
Mary shrugged her shoulders, her tone was very indifferent: "It's nothing, I just saw you leaning against the window, and thought you were looking at something."
"Oh, I'm watching the sunset." Elizabeth answered her doubts.
Seeing that Mary was about to enter the room, Elizabeth glanced at the letter paper spread out on the chair, and quickly asked Mary, "Mary, have you practiced the piano today?"
"Eh? I haven't had time to practice yet." Mary was a little dazed, she just came home, where did she have time to practice the piano.
Hearing this, Elizabeth seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. She hurriedly took Mary to practice the piano, and she didn't forget to close the door of her room when she left.
Confused, Mary forgot Elizabeth's closed door and was dragged away by her.
**
When it was time for dinner, those who went for a walk, those who went out, those who stayed in the room to read, or those who practiced the piano, all gathered in the dining room, and even Bentley was left behind by the Bennetts, and they had dinner with them.
"So to say,
Everyone sat around the living room, and the sweet smile on Jane's face was particularly eye-catching, making everyone wonder what happened between her and Mr. Bingley during this period of time.
"Jane, what did you guys say?" Lydia, who was outspoken, had already asked the question for everyone.
Facing everyone's eager gazes at the same time, Jane blushed rarely, and her tone was a little shy: "It's nothing, even Mr. Bingley proposed to me, and I agreed."
"awesome!"
"This is really good!"
"..."
For a moment, the living room was filled with mixed congratulatory voices, but without exception, they were all envious.
Mrs. Bennet put her arms around Jane, and said in a relaxed tone: "My dear Jane, you did a great job of tying up Mr. Bingley so quickly! Now, I am finally going to marry a daughter."
Immediately afterwards, she turned her head to Elizabeth again, blinked at her, and reminded: "Lizzie, you have to hurry up."
Elizabeth smiled, noncommittal.
But regarding Jane's matter, everyone didn't joke around for long, and they all returned to their rooms.
It is also the living room, but the atmosphere of Netherfield Garden is not so lively.
Darcy was not too surprised by the news that Bingley and the eldest lady of the Bennett family, Jane, had successfully proposed marriage.
So just lost in thought after congratulating the Bentley.
He had to think about how to get rid of Elizabeth's resistance to him.
**
In the next few days, when Darcy followed Bingley to visit Bennett's house, he always missed Elizabeth, who was going to sketch, very "unfortunately". The dissatisfaction in my heart is getting heavier and heavier.
Maybe a different strategy.
Darcy pondered in his mind.
Immediately afterwards, in the following days, Darcy and Bingley visited Sir Lucas together, and tactfully proposed to hold a ball.
In fact, Meryton had not had a ball for a long time since the Wickham affair.Therefore, when he heard the news that the two gentlemen wanted to hold a ball this time, Sir Lucas not only readily agreed, but also promised that he would try his best to help them.
The two sides quickly reached a consensus.
Therefore, taking advantage of the opportunity of Mr. Bingley and Mr. Darcy returning to Longbourn, the news that Meryton, which has been quiet for a long time, will hold a dance party spreads quickly throughout the town.
***
This time the ball was held at Netherfield.
A few days ago, the housekeeper and servants of the residence got busy and started to arrange the venue.
Therefore, when the guests arrived at the hall that day, the inside had been carefully arranged beautifully.
The sound of music from the hall was mixed with the sound of conversation. Darcy looked down at the time, and then looked in the mirror again. He put on his top hat and walked out of the room until he confirmed that there was nothing wrong with him.
The Bennett family came neither early nor late this time. As guests of the host's house, they were naturally warmly received.Mr. and Mrs. Bennet were perfectly satisfied without saying a word.
At the beginning of the scene, Bingley walked over and held Jane's hand without hesitation. Under the envious or blessing eyes of everyone, he danced on the dance floor, immersing himself in the world of only the other party.
There were people coming and going in the hall, and after being accidentally bumped into by someone for the third time, Elizabeth distanced herself from the crowd without showing any signs, and walked aside.
Darcy's frequent visits recently have bothered her a lot.Even though she went out to sketch early every time, this method was not a covert and safe method. Elizabeth was afraid that her family would find out something, but there was no other good way, which made Elizabeth feel dizzy.
I'm sure I'll run into Darcy in a while, but before that, let her go to the corner to brew some emotions.
But obviously a pretty lady is welcome everywhere, even if she's hiding in a corner.
Just as Elizabeth stood still, someone came up to invite: "Miss, can I invite you to dance?"
Oh, it turned out to be a strange officer. It seemed that he had never seen a face before.
Pursing her lips, before Elizabeth had time to say no, she heard someone make a decision for her: "She is my dance partner."
Who else could be the speaker besides Darcy?
"This gentleman seems to be the lady I invited first." The officer who came first did not believe his words, and looked at Elizabeth suspiciously, trying to get her to prove himself.
Elizabeth glanced at Darcy in front of her and nodded to him, proving that what the visitor said was true.
Therefore, thinking that he had confidence, when the strange man raised his head to face Darcy again, his eyes inevitably showed a touch of provocation.
Darcy is not a person who likes to argue. When encountering such a thing, he just stares at Elizabeth.
Elizabeth just lowered her head, avoiding Darcy's eyes.
Darcy stood more and more straight, and his tall figure naturally formed an oppressive trend.
The three of them stood in a circle, and the atmosphere was obviously very awkward, and someone was already looking over here.
In the end, he couldn't bear her difficulty, Darcy pursed his lips, and took the lead to take a step back: "Well, I'll wait for you here."
The man took advantage of the opportunity to invite her again, and Elizabeth couldn't refuse, so she forgot Darcy in dissatisfaction. If he didn't intervene, how could the matter be so troublesome.
Soon after the dance was over, Elizabeth walked back to the original place, and the dance partner at the side saw that Darcy was still there, and left spontaneously.
Seeing that the person left, Elizabeth looked at Darcy, and her tone became less gentle: "Tell me, Mr. Darcy, what's the matter this time? If it's okay, I'm sorry, I feel a little uncomfortable, and I want to be alone stay."
"Of course there is something." Of course, Darcy could hear the sign of Elizabeth's tone of letting go, and replied kindly.
Looking at the surroundings who were either concealing or blatantly looking at her, Elizabeth pursed her lips, lowered her voice, and said helplessly: "If you have something to say, it's not convenient here."
"When is it after?" Darcy insisted on asking clearly.
Elizabeth frowned and said, "Tomorrow."
After getting the exact time, Darcy added leisurely: "I hope that when you come to the door tomorrow, you won't just go out."
Hearing this, Elizabeth felt uncomfortable for a moment, but she quickly recovered: "Don't worry, Mr. Darcy, I think I'm still a man of my word. However, I beg to set the location outside."
After Darcy agreed, Elizabeth excused herself to find some familiar ladies and left.
But even so, Darcy's mood improved a lot, so when Bingley came to look for him during his break, he saw Mr. Darcy in a good mood.
He asked Darcy who was beside him, "What happened when I wasn't here just now?"
Darcy waved his hand and replied, "Nothing."
Seeing Darcy like this, Bingley didn't ask any more questions, but changed the subject and said, "You don't want to dance?"
Darcy was expressionless: "Not interested."
"I'm afraid they didn't agree to it." Seeing Darcy's uneasy expression, Bingley said again, "Caroline wrote that she would come over soon. What about your sister?"
"She won't come, and besides, I'm going back soon." Darcy replied lightly.
"Huh?" Bingley obviously hadn't reacted yet, he asked aloud, "Are you planning to give up on Miss Elizabeth?"

A Thousand Miles of Chasing His Wife (4)
A Thousand Miles of Chasing His Wife (4)
[He said not to be together, but he didn't think so in his heart. 】
Hearing this, Darcy also put down the knife and fork in his hand, nodded to Elizabeth, and began to talk about the topic.
"Let's just talk straight, Lizzie," said Darcy.
When he said this, his eyes fell firmly on Elizabeth who was sitting opposite him, quite aggressively.
However, Elizabeth didn't seem to be affected at all, she just shifted her eyes to the window not far away, her eyes wandering.
For some unknown reason, Darcy suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart, as if in the blink of an eye, the woman in front of him might disappear.
He cleared his throat and said in a deep voice, "I want you to reconsider my proposal."
Elizabeth smiled indifferently: "Mr. Darcy thinks that I, Elizabeth Bennett, should not miss you no matter what?"
"You know that's not what I meant, Lizzie," Darcy breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that Elizabeth's attitude softened as he wished, and then continued: "Anna told you about my coma. "
Elizabeth nodded. Georgiana did mention this matter when she wrote to her.
She still remembers the panic at that time, but there is no need to tell Darcy about such things.
Seeing Elizabeth's reaction, Darcy stared closely into her eyes, and said seriously: "When I was in a coma, I actually had a dream. It was so real. It was so real that I wondered whether I should give up on you."
Without interrupting him, Elizabeth just listened patiently to Darcy.
Darcy didn't expect any response from Elizabeth, so he just briefly described his dream to her, but this was enough to shock Elizabeth.
Darcy may just think he had a dream, but for Elizabeth, this is her personal experience in her previous life.
So now, she feels that this feeling is too subtle, and it also makes her panic.
Is this to remind her not to fall into such an environment again?
Thinking of this, Elizabeth interrupted Darcy, and said the first words since Darcy recalled the dream: "So you hesitated for so long just because of a dream? You don't think you love me as much as you think. .”
After getting along with him for so many years, Elizabeth stepped on Darcy's painful foot accurately.
Elizabeth did not pause, and continued to ask: "Mr. Darcy, do you know that Wickham has left Longbourne?"
"Yes." Darcy nodded. He had heard about this matter, but he didn't think it had anything to do with what they were talking about now.
He opened his mouth and wanted to explain the question just now, but Elizabeth cut him off again.
"Then do you know why he left?" Elizabeth continued.
Darcy didn't speak, he never cared about Wickham, so even when he came to Longbourne and found out that Wickham had left, he didn't investigate carefully.Therefore, facing Elizabeth's question at this moment, it was rare for him not to be able to answer it.
Elizabeth didn't want Darcy to answer, she didn't even raise her eyes to pay attention to the expression on Darcy's face, she just said to herself: "I did it. Before I came back from London, I found someone, here , that Miss Edward, but it was just someone I found to trick Wickham. She is not a descendant of the Edward family at all, but just a courtesan I asked Frederick to help me find in London. I motioned to Frederick Redrick helped her elevate her status, made Wickham think she was noble, and let her use tricks to trap Wickham. This was just the first step, preventing him from seducing Lydia again. Then , I ordered people to expose Vera's identity behind my back, so that everyone in the town could see Wickham's ugly face clearly. In the end, I also let Vera release rumors of her pregnancy, completely ruining Wickham's reputation."
"To put it bluntly, I think Wickham is not a good person, and I was afraid that Lydia would do something bad, so I acted first." Elizabeth looked at Darcy without blinking her eyes. : "Look, I'm so unscrupulous, are you sure you can accept it, Mr. Darcy?"
Darcy was silent.
Spreading her hands, Elizabeth smiled self-deprecatingly, and the words she said contained a touch of irony: "So, what you keep saying you love all the time is not the real me at all, but just a phantom in your heart."
After finishing speaking, Elizabeth picked up the teacup on the table, drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, Shi Shiran stood up, pulled up the corner of her skirt, and said goodbye to Darcy: "That's it, this matter I hope it will never be mentioned again. Good-bye, Mr. Darcy."
After speaking, he raised his foot and wanted to go outside.
But suddenly Elizabeth's forward foot stopped moving.
It was Darcy who held her hand and stopped her movement.
Elizabeth did not look back, and said in a cold tone: "I think I have told you clearly enough, Mr. Darcy. So, please let me go."
After finishing speaking, she was suddenly froze in place by the warmth sticking up behind her.
Darcy sighed, his tone full of helplessness: "You always don't listen to what I say."
He raised his hand and rubbed the top of Elizabeth's hair, causing her originally tied bun to loosen slightly for this reason.
"You have to give me some time to get used to it. You just don't want to listen to my answer and draw conclusions on your own. Lizzie, do you think this is really good? What are you afraid of?" Darcy was not angry either. He's just talking about things.
Elizabeth broke free from Darcy's hand, turned around, put her arms around her chest, and faced Darcy head-on, forming a defensive posture: "Then ask your heart..."
"Hmm." Darcy suddenly covered Elizabeth's mouth.
"Don't talk, listen to me first, okay?" Darcy spoke first to comfort Elizabeth.
Seeing that she really listened to what he said, she moved her hand away, but the soft touch just now seemed to be still stuck to her hand, and she couldn't get rid of it.
Darcy deliberately ignored the numbness that spread from the palm of his hand to his heart, and said seriously: "You always seem to be full of hostility towards me, but I am always attracted to you. Lizzie, can you have some confidence in yourself? It is quite clear that what I like in my heart is you, not some so-called phantom. Have you forgotten how good you are? Even if there are so many women around me, they can't cover up your brilliance."
As if he was embarrassed, he paused, and then continued: "Do you remember what I said when I proposed to you for the first time? I have to declare that I made a big mistake. When we first met , not a ball at all, but on the balcony of St Paul's Cathedral."
As he said that, he asked someone to take the painting that Frederick walked along and named "Meeting the Sunshine" by him, and unfolded it in front of Elizabeth.
Darcy thought that Elizabeth would be so touched that she would throw herself into his arms. After all, the first meeting by chance was remembered. Anyway, the person concerned would definitely be very moved, not to mention that he had once again confessed his love sincerely before. .
Although the marriage proposal line has the help of his own sister.But even so, isn't it worth tempting to propose so sincerely?
But he forgot that the woman he was looking for——Elizabeth was such a strong-willed and independent woman.
Even at this time, she didn't even change her expression.
Elizabeth raised her eyebrows, and said to Darcy: "Well, what then? What if you remember? Mr. Darcy, I think you have misplaced your priorities. The problem between us is not here at all."
"I know what you're going to say about differences in families and values." Referring to the questions he had prepared, Darcy seemed confident: "I know that your family has invested money in Frederick for business. , although I don't care, but your family can make such efforts to narrow the gap between us, frankly, Lizzie, I am very touched."
Darcy was reserved by nature, and Elizabeth knew that it was not easy for him to be able to say these words, but did he make a mistake?Elizabeth felt that it was necessary for her to explain: "That has nothing to do with you..."
"Okay, it has nothing to do with me," Darcy readily stopped dwelling on this issue and said instead, "I can't guarantee that there won't be any conflicts after marriage, but Lizzie, I will do my best to give you what you want. If someone wants to hurt you, I will do my best to protect you. If you are hurt, I will never let you be bullied in vain. So what else do you have to worry about?"
Speaking of this, he paused for two seconds, took a deep breath, and then said loudly: "Lizzie, please marry me!"
The author has something to say: =. = Rest assured, little angels, on Recovery Day this week! !
Because of Xiange's death, he applied for the list and even spelled with the goddess~~It's so rippling to think about~

Georgiana is pregnant, so she hasn't been out with Frederick recently.
Today, Frederick has not come back, and Georgiana has been told that her husband is going to be cornered.
So, when the Duke returned home, the Duchess had been sitting on the sofa waiting for him for a long time.
- I heard that a little girl confessed to you tonight?
-how come?Who is telling the truth?I must punish him well.
- It's nobody else's business.
Georgiana gave him a disapproving look.
Frederick knew something was wrong, and hurriedly dismissed the servants in the living room.
He stepped forward and gently rubbed Georgiana's pregnancy-swollen leg.

A Thousand Miles of Chasing His Wife (5)
[Finally made this decision. 】
By the time Elizabeth got home, it was already evening.
The family had already had dinner and were chatting in the living room.
Mary stopped and asked Elizabeth, "Lizzie, why did you come back?"
Elizabeth didn't answer either, but just distributed the hairbands she bought in a small shop to the sisters and let them choose by themselves, successfully diverting the topic away from herself.
"I want this red one."
"Then I'll take the green one."
"I also want this green one. Jane, don't you already have a green one? My dear sister, you will soon fulfill me."
"..."
After Elizabeth helped the sisters choose the headbands she was satisfied with, she chatted briefly with Mr. and Mrs. Bennett, and then returned to her room.
What happened today had a huge impact on her. Elizabeth originally thought that she would have to toss and turn for a long time like last night before falling asleep, but as soon as she climbed into bed, she fell into a deep sleep.
**
The time has to go back to three hours ago.
When Darcy proposed again, Elizabeth knew her heart was shaken.
But she didn't speak.
Time seemed to be frozen, one second after another, passing extremely long.
Elizabeth was thinking, and Darcy was waiting for her answer.
"Darcy, let's think about it separately," Elizabeth said.
"Why?" Darcy seemed to squeeze out the words from his teeth, but he didn't notice that his voice was rare and hoarse.
Elizabeth noticed it, but at this time, she knew that she must not soften her heart, so she hardened her heart and broke off Darcy's fingers one by one, and walked away.
**
When Darcy returned to Netherfield that night, he started to pack his luggage. This behavior made Bentley confused. He was obviously in a good mood when he went out, so why did he just go out and was about to leave?
He thought for a while, but decided to speak: "Darcy, you want to leave?"
"I thought I was being obvious enough," replied Darcy icily.
"Why?" Bingley suddenly realized: "Because of Elizabeth?"
"..." Darcy pursed his lips in silence and did not speak.
"How about..." Bingley wanted to persuade him again, but Darcy stopped him.
Darcy waved his hand, with a gloomy face: "Don't persuade me, Bentley. I have made up my mind to go, and I will leave tomorrow morning."
Hearing what he said, Bingley couldn't say anything more, so he turned around and left in silence.
"Wait." Darcy stopped him.
Bentley stopped and looked at Darcy.
Darcy reached out and took a painting from the side, and handed it to Bingley.
"What is this?" Bentley wondered.
"After I'm gone, if you go to Bennett's house again, please help me pass this thing to Elizabeth." Darcy didn't answer Bingley's question directly, but just instructed.
Bingley nodded and replied, "Okay."
After thinking about it, I added another sentence: "Do I need to bring anything?"
Darcy refused, "No need."
Bingley had no choice but to take the things in Darcy's hand, turned and left his room.
***
Early the next morning, Darcy took the packed luggage and walked to the carriage waiting outside the door.
When Bingley went out to see him off, Darcy took out another envelope and handed it to him: "Help me and give this to Elizabeth as well."
Bentley didn't ask about the content, and nodded his head as a response: "Bon voyage."
"Well. You can bring Miss Bennet to Pemberley in the future." Darcy said to Bingley who still had a reluctant expression on his face.
"Aren't you going to come to Longbourne again?" Bingley was very surprised.
Darcy just said: "Let's see."
After speaking, he quickly got into the carriage.
The carriage drove all the way in the direction of Pemberley.
***
Bentley has been busy lately.
His sister Caroline was at Netherfield at last, and she was with her, and her group of friends, who had come to visit.
So even though Caroline was familiar enough with Netherfield, Bentley took the time to entertain everyone.
It would be three days before he could go to Bennett's house to visit Jane after he had time to spare.
Of course, he did not forget Darcy's instructions before he left. He took the painting and the letter and went to Bennett's house in a carriage.
*
Mrs. Bybennet always liked to give the young couple some time alone, and the drawing room was quickly empty.
Bingley looked at Elizabeth who was lagging behind, and shouted loudly: "Please wait!"
After finishing speaking, he said to Jane: "Jane, can you wait for me first? I have something to say to Elizabeth alone."
Jane nodded, and responded: "Okay, then you guys talk here, I'll wait for you in the garden."
After speaking, he left.
love you like life (1)
love you like life (1)
[Only when you lose it will you know how to cherish it. 】
"Mr. Bingley, what can you do?" Elizabeth asked lightly.
Bingley looked at the girl in front of him, her face was extremely calm, and she stood upright.
This discovery made him feel a little depressed.
Perhaps because he knew that Darcy's departure had something to do with Elizabeth, Bingley still had some emotions when he spoke: "As you wish, Darcy has left."
Hearing this, Elizabeth was stunned for a moment.
Darcy's departure made her completely unexpected.
"Why?" As soon as the words were asked, Elizabeth felt a little regretful.
What does his going or staying have to do with him?
"About the reason, I think you will know better than me," his voice was muffled, and it sounded muffled: "This is what I handed over to you from Dacito."
As he spoke, he fetched the paintings and letters from the carriage, and handed them all to Elizabeth.
Elizabeth came back to her senses and thanked Bentley.
Bingley waved his hand, saying that there was nothing to be polite, and went to the garden to find Jane.
Only Elizabeth was left in the living room, empty as if whose heart?
**
"Jane!" Bingley shouted seeing Jane standing there from afar.
Jane turned her head and showed him a bright smile.
Bingley took three steps and two steps, and quickly walked in front of Jane.
"Look at the sweat on your head, I told you not to be so anxious, just wipe it off first." Jane took out a handkerchief and handed it to Bingley.
Watching him take the handkerchief from her hand, Jane asked again: "Have you finished talking with Lizzie?"
"En." Bingley nodded, and was about to put the handkerchief back into his pocket.
"Oh, that's my handkerchief." Jane said hurriedly to him, reaching for the handkerchief in Bingley's hand.
Bingley stopped her movement: "I'll return it to you after I wash it."
Jane had no choice but to agree with him, and the two walked into the depths of the garden together.
"What did you and Lizzie say?" Jane asked curiously.
Bingley replied: "Darcy has gone back to Pemberley."
"Mr. Darcy has returned to Pemberley? So suddenly. Is he in a hurry?" Jane was puzzled: "But what does this have to do with Lizzie?"
"Darcy proposed to your sister, but she refused." Bingley didn't want to say it at first, but seeing the doubt on Jane's face, he still revealed the secret to her.
Hearing Bingley's words, Jane tightly covered her open mouth with her hand, and sighed, "Oh my god! I don't know anything about it. Lizzie is hiding it too deeply."
However, she was only surprised for a while, and her attention was turned away from Elizabeth's concealment: "Forgive me for not seeing it earlier, but Mr. Darcy has a crush on Lizzie!"
Compared to Jane's shock, Bingley was much calmer. He spread his hands and said to Jane: "I thought he was obvious enough. But, I think, if he can be as honest as me, oh no, Or be as persistent as I am, and he has a chance of success. After all, I don't look at your sister indifferently to Darcy."
This made Jane angry and funny, she stretched out her hand and poked Bingley's body, and then said: "You are really immodest."
Bingley smiled, put his arms around Jane's shoulders, and the two talked about other topics while walking.
**
Now, about Elizabeth.
She stood in the living room for a while, then slowly walked back to her room with the painting and letter.
In fact, she knew that the painting was in Frederick's, but he liked it, so she didn't ask for it back. Who knows, it ended up in Darcy's hands. Now.Miraculously, he returned to her side.
Elizabeth put away the painting properly, and then sat down on the chair.
Playing with the letter in her hand, she opened and closed the seal several times with her nimble fingers. Finally, she made up her mind to open the envelope and took out the letter paper.
Familiar font, greetings as always.
Elizabeth didn't know what it was like in her heart.
She put her messy thoughts behind her and calmed down to read the long letter in her hand.
"... Lizzie, please allow me to call you that, I hope you don't think I'm being presumptuous. I don't know when Bingley will hand over the letter to you, but I must have left by the time you read this letter Longbourn."
"I don't know if you will be moved by my leaving, or if you don't feel at all. But no matter what, you are willing to open this letter, and I still thank God."
"Some things can't be said in person, so let me write them down. I'm afraid that if I don't say it, you will never know."
Elizabeth pulled back her hair, which was a little distracting from her eyes because it was hanging down in front of her eyes, calmed down and read on:
"You are different and unique from all the women I have met. I have never seen such a contradictory character, warm, kind, and calm. Before I met you, I never knew that I would fall in love with such a woman .Not to mention that one day, I will be like an ordinary kid, bowing my head again and again in order to please my sweetheart. If someone told me two years ago, one day, I would A woman's happiness and joy, sadness and sadness, I must have thought he was joking."
"But now, I've met you."
After reading this, Elizabeth's long and curled eyelashes trembled slightly. It could be seen that her heart was fluctuating a lot, but she still didn't put down the letter paper in her hand:
"You're really insecure, and up until now, I've thought I'd make you feel dependable. But you don't believe me, and it's driving me crazy. I've studied modern languages , learned how to salute gracefully, learned how to be a good heir to the Darcy family, but they never taught me how to please a girl, especially when she didn't love me at all."
No.
You are so nice, how could she not love you.
Putting down the letter paper in her hand, Elizabeth stood up, walked to the window and leaned up, staring at the glow in the west in a daze.
Mary came back from outside and happened to pass Elizabeth's room.Seeing Elizabeth standing by the window, she yelled at Elizabeth: "Lizzie, what are you doing?"
Elizabeth was startled by Mary's actions, she quickly came back to her senses, smiled at Mary and said, "Honey, what do you want from me?"
Mary shrugged her shoulders, her tone was very indifferent: "It's nothing, I just saw you leaning against the window, and thought you were looking at something."
"Oh, I'm watching the sunset." Elizabeth answered her doubts.
Seeing that Mary was about to enter the room, Elizabeth glanced at the letter paper spread out on the chair, and quickly asked Mary, "Mary, have you practiced the piano today?"
"Eh? I haven't had time to practice yet." Mary was a little dazed, she just came home, where did she have time to practice the piano.
Hearing this, Elizabeth seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. She hurriedly took Mary to practice the piano, and she didn't forget to close the door of her room when she left.
Confused, Mary forgot Elizabeth's closed door and was dragged away by her.
**
When it was time for dinner, those who went for a walk, those who went out, those who stayed in the room to read, or those who practiced the piano, all gathered in the dining room, and even Bentley was left behind by the Bennetts, and they had dinner with them.
