don't touch my darcy

After the mass, Pastor Short asked everyone to take a rest and go back after having some refreshments.

Kitty, of course, was reluctant, and told Mrs. Bennet she must visit the town, for she had just inquired that there was a very fine ribbon shop here.

Elizabeth couldn't resist her, so she had to ask Mrs. Reynolds to accompany her, and made an appointment to return to Pemberley together in an hour's time. Several good-hearted young people who accompanied the Salton family also went. The lively and lovely Kitty is always very attractive.

Pastor Short led everyone to the lounge. Elizabeth knew that Georgiana was shy and that Mrs. Reynolds was gone, so she walked with her sister-in-law. The topic of customs.

Mrs. Darcy spoke cheerfully of the delicacies and activities she had had at Longbourne for May, and Mrs. Bennet joined the conversation, boasting that she was no braggadocio of having spent her time at Longbourn. Mayfest is much more interesting than here.

Baron Sulton and Mrs. Sulton were already very satisfied as long as they saw their son walking side by side with Miss Darcy, especially the way Lancer bowed his head slightly and spoke to Miss Darcy in a gentle and friendly manner, which was an indescribable match.

It's a pity they didn't know that the reason why Lancer took the initiative, besides being a very handsome young man, was that he was attracted by Mrs. Darcy's witty words, and wanted to stimulate her conversation and not cool down the atmosphere.

He even felt very curious, how does the serious and silent Mr. Darcy get along with the lively and funny Mrs. Darcy?And they seem to get along pretty well?

How true are the rumors from the outside world about how they met and how they got married, how much is incomprehensible, and how much is not well-intentioned by others to add fuel and jealousy?

Elizabeth's thoughtfulness and Lancer's demeanor gave Miss Sulton a good chance.

Mr. Darcy was left alone, and she also consciously lagged behind, and the two walked together naturally.

"I'm planning to add some new plants to the Rose Manor, and I hope to get your permission, Mr. Darcy." This was the topic that Miss Sulton provoked.

The male god was by his side, and his arms and shoulders would occasionally touch her while walking. Miss Sulton's heart was pounding with excitement, and even her breathing was hot, but she kept telling herself not to have any inappropriate words or deeds , and strive to make this rare individual communication more harmonious and longer.

"Of course, planting is an elegant and healthy hobby, and you can do whatever you want." Darcy's tone showed that he was really willing to chat with Miss Sulton.

At least so far, in his eyes, he is surrounded by a lady with impeccable manners, temperament and talent, who has enough respect for his mother and is quite friendly to his wife and sister.

It is true that Darcy's eyes are above the top, but once he has a good impression of a certain object, he will be a diligent and considerate friend, just as he treats Mr. Bingley and Mr. Gardiner.

"Very well, you are a generous host, Mr. Darcy."

"Don't be restrained, now you are the owner of Rose Manor."

Sure enough, Miss Sulton successfully mobilized Darcy's enthusiasm, and he also had a smile on his face. He even offered to introduce the gardener in Pemberley to Miss Sulton, saying that she could visit his garden at any time if she wanted.

In the original book, Mr. Darcy never invites young ladies into the house, does he?

Miss Dalton wished she could fly to Pemberley with the male god, but no, she could only politely thank him for his hospitality, and said that she would visit Mrs. Darcy and Miss Darcy on a suitable day.

Among the various voices behind her, the husband's low and deep voice, and Miss Sulton's gentle and sweet smile were particularly distinct.

She was surprised by Darcy's rare high interest in front of outsiders, and at the same time convinced herself that this was just an ordinary exchange between him and a lady who fit his aesthetics.

Mary was still alone, walking inconspicuously at the end, as if everyone had forgotten about her, but in the same way, she listened to every word Lancer had with her sister and Miss Darcy,

Her heart was very warm, because Pastor Short and the children expressed their gratitude to her just now, and the children praised her innocently, saying that she played the piano better than Sister Susan, if Mary could still teach them to sing hymns , that would be great!

For the first time Mary felt the joy of being affirmed and needed, albeit only from a group of children.

She was also very sad, because she heard Mr. Sulton say more than once that he hoped Mrs. Darcy would kindly lend him the racecourse in Pemberley. He liked it so much.

What he likes is not Pemberley, but the people of Pemberley. Miss Darcy is so beautiful, no one can refuse her charm, Mary thought silently.

"Miss Bennett."

"Is that you, Mr. Reed?"

Suddenly someone spoke nearby. Mary, who was thinking about something, was startled. She looked up following the sound and saw Lancer's friend Mr. Reed standing beside her.

He is not tall and slightly fat. He is not wearing a military uniform today, and he looks even more amiable.

"Your performance just now was very good, Miss Bennett. I admire your courage and kindness."

"Thank you for the compliment……"

Suddenly someone came to her side and talked with her, which made Mary feel a little relieved, but her attention could not be separated from Lanser, so from the church to the lounge, she just kept polite, but followed him lukewarmly. Mr. Reed was perfunctory.

The party went to the drawing-room, and continued their conversation about the weather, the harvest, the beauty of Pemberley, and the fashions of London.

At this time, Sister Eleanor, the old principal of the church school, came in. She begged Mr. Darcy and Mrs. Darcy to forgive her for being presumptuous, because she was old and her legs and feet were inconvenient. She could only take this opportunity to report to the benefactor. The use of funding in the past year.

For this kind of matter, Mr. Darcy is generous enough, but lacks enthusiasm. He tactfully told the old nun that Mrs. Darcy will be in charge of funding matters from now on.

Elizabeth hurriedly helped the old nun to sit down beside her, and patiently listened to her list of expenses item by item. Not only did she not show any impatience at all, she occasionally interjected a few words, all of which were on point.

"I think it should add to the expense of having to add another classroom for the children, don't I, dear?" Elizabeth asked Darcy.

"Well, yes, your idea is very good." Darcy agreed with Elizabeth's suggestion.

"Nurse, in the next accounting year, I plan to add another [-] pounds to the teacher's salary. After the rainy season, we will start repairing the dormitory for the children."

"Oh, how can I thank you, Mrs. Darcy." The old nun made the cross on her chest moved.

Miss Sulton was quite surprised by this conversation, which was of no interest to the others.

She didn't expect that the daughter of a little gentleman who only knew to be wandering in the countryside before marriage would handle Pemberley's family affairs so decisively and methodically.

In addition, it is obvious that Mr. Darcy also trusts her a lot and supports her decision.

Is this Elizabeth's sporadic performance, or is she really capable of taking on the role of "Mrs. Darcy"?

This doubt made Miss Sulton uneasy, but she did not give up the opportunity to confront Elizabeth and increase the favor of the male god.

"Is it possible to consider that the cost of repairing the school building should be borne by us, Mom and Dad?"

"Repair the school building? Yes, Ivy, your idea is great, do you agree dear?"

"Well, no problem."

Mrs. Sulton was puzzled by her daughter's sudden proposal at first, but she soon realized that this was a good opportunity to show her family's generosity and charity in front of the Darcy family. Only by winning their approval and favor, Lancer A good marriage with Miss Darcy is promising.

Besides, this little money is nothing compared with the rich dowry and inheritance of the future Miss Darcy.

"Ah? You are such a kind lady, how can I thank you!"

"Don't say that, Mammy, we are all God's children."

Facing the weeping old nun who was almost moved, Miss Salton smiled calmly, dignified and beautiful like an angel.
