[Pride and Prejudice] Plain water

On the other side, Elizabeth, who couldn't wait for her sister to come back, tossed and turned at night and couldn't sleep. After receiving the news that Jane was sick, she was very worried. She felt that she should go to see her sister herself to rest assured.

When she told her plan to go, she was strongly opposed by Mrs. Bennet: "Why are you so stupid! The road is so muddy, you can figure it out! When you get there, how can you look like someone. "

"I just want to see Jane." She didn't care whether she had a car or not, and she decided to go there.Since she can't ride a horse, the only way is to walk.She didn't care how embarrassing she would be.

"Lizzy," said her father, "do you mean that I should get you some horses for your carriage?"

"Of course not. I'm not afraid to walk. It's nothing if I'm going. It's only three miles. I can make it back to supper."

At this time Mary said: "You are completely out of brotherhood, I admire you, but you must not be emotional, you have to be rational, and I think you should try your best not to go too far."

Catherine and Lydia said together: "We will accompany you to Meryton." Elizabeth assented, and the three young ladies set off together.

"If we hurry up," said Lydia, as they walked, "perhaps we'll have time to see Captain Cuttle before he goes away."

The three sisters parted at Meryton, and the two sisters went to the house of an officer's wife, leaving Elizabeth alone to go on, striding hurriedly across fields and fences. Fence, jumped over puddles, and finally saw the house.At this time, her feet were weak, her socks were covered with mud, and her face was flushed with exhaustion.

While Annie and the others were having breakfast in the dining room, someone disturbed them in the hall.

"Who's coming at this hour? In this weather?" asked Miss Bingley.

Her questions were quickly answered.The door opened and Miss Elizabeth Bennet appeared.As soon as she walked through the door, the whole audience was amazed.Her eyes were bright, her cheeks were still flushed, and her clothes showed that she had come on foot, and her sturdy shoes were covered with mud.

"Miss Bennet!" cried Mr. Hurst, as if he had seen a ghost.

"Miss Bennet!" Miss Bingley added. "You don't come on foot, do you?" she asked, staring in amazement at her shoes and skirt, which seemed to be buried in six feet of mud. .

"Yes," she said, as if it were the most normal thing in the world.

"Three miles so early," said Miss Bingley, with a startled look at Mrs. Hurst. "And in such dirty weather!" said Mrs. Hurst, looking back at Miss Bingley.It was unbelievable that she had come three miles away, and all by herself, so early in the morning and in such mud.thought Mrs. Hurst and Miss Bingley.

Bentley was not so shocked.Not only did she receive her politely, but she was also very courteous and courteous.

The same Fitzwilliam looked at Elizabeth's bright eyes and flushed cheeks, his eyes brightened, and he wanted to go forward to talk, but he seemed to have thought of something and stopped in his tracks.This scene was seen by Elizabeth, and she couldn't help being a little disappointed. She really liked him very much.

Anne and Darcy quickly responded and nodded politely to Elizabeth.Georgiana looked at Elizabeth with curious and amazed eyes. She had never seen a lady with such...well...personality.Mr. Hurst, all he wants is breakfast.

"Miss Elizabeth Bennet, it's very kind of you to come," said Bingley, jumping up and taking her hand. "I'm afraid your sister is not in the right place."

Mr. Bingley now recovered from his shock: "Really, Charles, don't frighten her," she said, turning to Miss Bennet. She was running a fever and not well enough to leave the room."

"You must be cold and wet," said Bingley, looking at Elizabeth with concern.

"It's all right. I often go out for a walk in the morning. The cold and damp don't affect me. Where is Jane? Can I see her?"

"Of course," said Bingley, "I'll take you to her right now."

Mr. Bingley and Miss Bennet left the room, and Miss Bingley followed.Bentley came out soon, and his sister stayed there.

Jane was very happy to see Elizabeth coming. It turned out that she didn't want to make her family anxious and troublesome, so she didn't say in the letter that she was very eager to have a relative come to see her.But she had not the strength to speak much, and so, when Miss Bingley went away, and the sisters were left with her, she only said that she was very grateful to them for being so kind to her. . . I didn't say anything more.Elizabeth waited for her in silence, and did not leave her room for a moment.
