Miss Elizabeth Goldfinger Bennet

Chapter 13

The next day a new incident occurred at Langborn.Mr. Collins made a formal proposal.As his vacation was due to expire next Saturday, he decided not to delay any longer, and he felt no embarrassment in the fact that he and Elizabeth were so well suited, and proceeded methodically to do whatever he considered necessary. He followed the few normal steps.Immediately after breakfast, and seeing Mrs. Bennet, Elizabeth, and Jane together, he said to Mrs. Bennet:

"Ma'am, I would like to ask your wife, Elizabeth, to have a private conversation with me this morning. Do you agree?"

"Oh, very well, of course. I'm sure Lizzie would like it too, and I'm sure she'll have no objection.—Come on, Jane, come upstairs with me." She gathered up her sewing, and hurried away opened.

Elizabeth saw her leaving mother and Jane who was worried about her, sitting calmly on the warm recliner by the fireplace, waiting for the 'private conversation' from the bastard Collins.

"To be honest, Miss Elizabeth, your shyness not only does you no harm, but also adds to your natural beauty. But please allow me to tell you that I have won your lord's favor by proposing to you this time. Your permission. Notwithstanding your natural timidity, my attentions to you have been so evident that you will understand what I mean. I have chosen you to be my companion for life almost as soon as I entered the room. But On this subject, it may be best, while I am still in control of my own feelings, to speak first of my reasons for wanting to marry, and more particularly of my intention of coming to Hertfordshire to find a mate."

Seeing Elizabeth Collins talking to herself, she couldn't help but feel very funny. He was so shy, so what if his mother agreed, don't you know that Mr. Bennet and my aunt are the masters of the family? See what other conditions you can use, so although Collins stopped talking for a moment, Elizabeth did not stop him from continuing:

"I have several reasons for wanting to get married: first, I believe that any clergyman who lives as well as I do should set a good example of marriage to the whole parish; secondly, I am convinced that marriage will greatly promote my happiness. Thirdly, I have been lucky in my life to be able to wait for such a noble female benefactor. She especially advised me to get married and especially approved of my marriage. She advised me on this matter twice, and when I left Han We were playing cards the Saturday night before Sifford, and Mrs. Gingerson was putting the pedals on Miss De Bourgh, and she said to me: 'Mr. Collins, you must get married. A clergyman like you must get married. Be good.' Go and choose, choose a daughter from a good family, for me and for yourself; you must be lively, able to do things, not noble, but you must be able to calculate and arrange a small income properly Post. That's my opinion. Get a woman like that quickly, and bring her to Hansford, and I'll take care of her.' Good cousin, let me tell you, Catherine The considerate care of Mrs. Paul can be regarded as a superior condition for me. I really can't describe her, and you will see it one day. I think you will be liked by her, as long as you are so bright and lively. She'll be more fond of you if she's more dignified and dignified in the presence of a man of her stature. And that's what I'm getting married for, generally; and about your dowry, which I don't care about, though you've only got a thousand pounds, You know that Mrs. Catherine de Bourgh told me that as long as I marry the lady she asks, the dowry is not important. Although your little sisters are not well-bred, I know you are an excellent Lady."

Elizabeth couldn't bear this idiot's self-talk anymore, "Okay, Mr. Collins, I already understand what you want to express. Now you just listen to me. First, I am puzzled by your proposal, you For me it's just a relative who doesn't have much contact with me. Nothing else! Second, your house has absolutely no attraction for me, I like the big estate (my lovely rose estate). P. Three, I have no interest in your Mrs. Catherine de Bauer, who is in heaven and earth. In my opinion, the only ones who can educate me are my parents. Others are sorry that they don’t have the qualifications. And you have to know us A sister's dowry is more than a thousand pounds. Mr. Collins I think you'd better get a wife at Hunsford, or you can have one from Mrs. Catherine de Bourgh. You don't think you're all Did this lady give it to you? Wouldn’t it be better to express your respect for her by asking her to choose another wife she is satisfied with?” Elizabeth’s tone was very much for Collins’s sake.It's actually quite sarcasm.Can anyone look up to a man who has everything from others?

The facts tell Elizabeth that there is, and in Elizabeth's opinion, a very good person-Charlotte Lucas.Collins had not been seen for a long time since Elizabeth had flatly rejected him.When the news of his engagement with Charlotte reached Elizabeth's ears, Elizabeth also knew the reason for his disappearance.It was very difficult for Elizabeth to accept this at the beginning. You must know that Charlotte is her good friend, and in Elizabeth's view, she is a friend worthy of making friends.Collins is not worthy of her at all, but then Elizabeth seems to have figured it out again. Charlotte's choice may be right in this era. Of course, a girl like Charlotte can have a successful career in modern times, even if she is 30 years old. So what about getting married.But here, Charlotte is already an old girl. The most terrible thing is that she has no property, and her life after marriage will be a problem.

Thinking of this, Elizabeth is even more grateful for the property she owns. Sure enough, it is absolutely impossible to have no money.After figuring it out, Elizabeth was going to see Charlotte.

"Charlotte, have you really decided?" Elizabeth asked seriously, looking into Charlotte's eyes.

Charlotte replied: "I understand your thoughts. You must be surprised, very surprised, because not long ago, Mr. Collins still wanted to marry you. But as long as you have time to think about this matter carefully One moment, and you'll agree with me. You know I'm not a romantic, I'm by no means. Mr. Collins is, of course, unreasonable and unlovable, and it's a real nuisance to be with. , His love for me must be a castle in the sky, but I still want him to be my husband. I don’t value marriage and married life very high, but marriage is my consistent goal. A young man from a poor family and quite educated Ladies, like me, always regard marriage as the only decent way out. Lizzie, I just want a comfortable home. As far as Mr. Collins's character, social relations and status are concerned, I feel that marrying him Married can be as happy as most people boast of when they get married. You know, Lizzie, that I am not as beautiful as you, and my dowry is pitifully small, and I am very old. Staying for a day is a burden to my family. If my parents die, I am sure my brother and sister-in-law will throw me out. You know our relationship is not as close as you and Andrew. Lizzie, I'm sorry actually I've been thinking this since I knew Collins wanted you the most, because I knew you wouldn't say yes, and I know how proud you are to marry someone you despise. Lizzie, I'm not a good woman ,good friend."

Charlotte wept while talking, and she was really sorry for Elizabeth.But she really had no choice.

"Charlotte, you don't have to feel sorry for me at all. Seriously, I'm just worried that you're not married to a human being. It's a sad thing that a husband and wife have no common language at all! But maybe everyone thinks differently, you think It's normal to have a family, no one doesn't want to. I just want you to be happy, Charlotte!"

"I will, Lizzie! Thank you!"

After coming out of Charlotte, Elizabeth walked home alone, and suddenly she felt very lonely. In this era, there are countless girls like Charlotte who get married just to get married.Marry someone you don't like, and face a foolish husband for the rest of your life.Elizabeth suddenly wanted to see her Rose Manor, her own home.

Although Elizabeth is very chic, she thinks that she will live alone without getting married in the future.But the thought of living alone in Rose Manor also seemed lonely.Why!Bai Wuchang shouldn't be so cheap in the first place.It would be great if he could give him a satisfactory husband. (Author: Hey, are you too much!)

"Miss Elizabeth!"

"Ah!" Elizabeth was taken aback by the sudden appearance.

"Mr. Darcy, are you silent when you walk?" I have been frightened twice.

"..." Darcy lying innocently.

Seeing Darcy's unresponsive appearance, Elizabeth realized that she seemed a little too much?

"I'm sorry, Mr. Darcy, I'm just frightened!"

"Has Miss Elizabeth always walked so half-heartedly?" It was very unsafe, Darcy added to himself.

"I'm really sorry Mr. Darcy, I walk like this all the time, why don't you show me how to walk wholeheartedly!" Elizabeth deliberately put emphasis on single-mindedness.

"..." Darcy once again learned Elizabeth's skills.So he simply changed the subject, "Where is Miss Elizabeth going?"

"Just coming home from Sir Lucas's. Mr. Darcy?"

"Going out for a walk, Miss Elizabeth, I wonder if I will have the honor of taking you home?"

Seeing the arm in front of her, Elizabeth took it without any excuse.Since Mr. Darcy is such a gentleman, of course he will not be hypocritical.

"I heard that Miss Lucas and Miss Elizabeth are good friends?"

"Yes, Charlotte is a good girl. Did Mr. Darcy want to ask me my opinion on this marriage?" Elizabeth asked.

"If you don't mind." Darcy knew it was rude, but Collins was well known for his hospitality to Elizabeth.Now news of the marriage of Collins and Charlotte has been reported, which makes everyone a little puzzled.Although Darcy knew that Elizabeth had no affection for Collins, he still wanted to know what she thought.

"If Mr. Collins doesn't marry Charlotte, I don't care at all, but in my eyes Charlotte is a very good lady, well, Mr. Darcy and you tell the truth, I just don't think Mr. Collins is worthy Charlotte. But greens and radishes have their own love, and since Charlotte agreed to Mr. Collins' proposal, all I can do is bless them."

"Miss Elizabeth, with all due respect, I think Miss Lucas is lucky to marry Mr. Collins, in view of the circumstances of the Lucas family and herself."

"Mr. Darcy means that Charlotte is not good enough for Mr. Collins! I thought Mr. Darcy knew enough about Collins. Am I wrong? In fact, Mr. Darcy appreciates Mr. Collins?" Elizabeth said to Darcy Dissatisfied with belittling his friends.

"Miss Elizabeth, that's not what I meant..."

"Mr. Darcy, I'm here. Thank you for sending me back, but in order not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings, let's break up here. Mr. Darcy, maybe you are right. In most people's eyes, Charlotte is lucky, but in In my opinion, this kind of marriage is really a torment. If I had to choose, I would rather be alone for a lifetime than two people suffer for a lifetime. There is no need to be hard on yourself in just a few decades. Goodbye Mr. Darcy!" Elizabeth proudly said Darcy saluted and left.

Darcy stood still and watched Elizabeth leave.He saw the pride and arrogance buried deep in the young lady's soul.Darcy admits that he doesn't have such chic, so......
