Pride and Prejudice accident

Andrea was a little flattered, because Mr. Bingley was definitely not a gentleman who couldn't find a partner. "Of course, my pleasure."

"Then I'll pick you up then?" Mr. Bingley said with a smile after getting a satisfactory answer.

"Okay." Andrea nodded, a little excited in her heart, this was the first time a man invited her to a prom.

Mr. and Miss Bingley stayed until after nine o'clock in the evening. When they went upstairs, Georgiana quietly pulled Mr. Radassi's sleeve, pulled him to a corner, and asked softly, "Brother, can you find me?" Is your date for tomorrow's dance?"

"no, what happened?"

"It will be too late to look for it tomorrow. Do you want to go to the dance alone?"

Mr. Darcy looked at his sister strangely and said: "I never take a dance partner very much, you can be my dance partner."

"No! I won't be your partner this time, you have to find someone yourself." Georgiana pouted to Mr. Darcy.

"But it's already night, Joanna, where do you want me to find it?" Mr. Darcy said helplessly when he saw the difficult-tempered Georgiana.

"Don't we have one at home?" Georgiana hoped that Mr. Darcy would invite Andrea to be her dance partner. After hearing Miss Bingley's description of Elizabeth, Georgiana was determined to make her brother fall in love with her. Miss.Of course, this lady can't be Miss Bingley. Although Georgiana doesn't hate Miss Bingley, she doesn't like the arrogant and mean side of her character either.

"Joanna, that's not appropriate." Mr. Darcy shook his head. Even though he has some feelings for Elizabeth now, Mr. Darcy will not be able to change his deep-rooted ideas about his status after all.

"What's wrong, isn't Andrea bad? I think she's fine."

"Georgianna, it's very late now, you should go to bed, I will solve the problem of the partner myself." Mr. Darcy said with a straight face.

Seeing that her brother seemed to be angry, Georgiana had no choice but to go back to the room slowly and dejectedly. She didn't think that Mr. Darcy had any relationship with Elizabeth. After all, she was very disdainful and disgusted with Jane's petty tricks, and naturally her impression of Elizabeth became even worse.

Mr. Darcy stood at the landing of the stairs for a while, stroking the small ball at the top of the stair railing post with his fingers, thinking about what Mr. Bingley had said to him during the day.Thinking of Mr. Bingley saying that a simple-looking girl like Jane can do some tricks, his impression of the Bennet family is completely bad, and at the same time, some people doubt whether his impression of Elizabeth is correct. Since the rest of the family is bad, it makes no sense that only one is good.But Mr. Darcy is not the kind of person to define casually, so he still thinks about Elizabeth's smart eyes.

"Sir, do you want to go upstairs?" Mr. Darcy's valet came over with a candlestick in his hand and asked respectfully. At this time, almost all the candles downstairs were extinguished, leaving only the small square on the side of the stairs. There is also a candlestick with eight candles on it.But when Mr. Darcy went upstairs, the footman would also put out the candlestick.

Thinking about Elizabeth and about tomorrow's ball, Mr. Darcy frowned, and finally walked to the door of the guest room, waved his hand to let the servant leave, and knocked on the door hesitantly.

Andrea was getting dressed and going to bed. When she heard the knock on the door, she thought it was a maid. She ran to open the door without her dressing gown on. When she saw Mr. Darcy standing at the door, she closed it with a bang. She opened the door, then quickly put on her dressing gown, straightened her loose hair in front of the mirror, and ran over to open the door again.

As expected, Mr. Darcy was standing there with his back straight, but his expression changed from hesitation to anger. Andrea smiled shyly, wrapped her dressing gown tightly and asked, "Mr. Darcy, are you Is there something wrong?"

"Yes, Miss Ferguson." Mr. Darcy looked Andrea up and down, paused for a few seconds before saying: "May I have the honor to invite Miss Ferguson to be my female companion tomorrow?"

Andrea looked at Mr. Darcy in surprise and asked, "Tomorrow's dance?"

"Yes, may I have the honor?" Mr. Darcy asked again, staring at Andrea.

Andrea looked at Mr. Darcy in confusion. If Mr. Bingley came to invite her as a surprise, Mr. Darcy was shocked when he invited her. This gentleman still gave her a wink from time to time until last night. , and now she is very sincere to invite her to be tomorrow's dance partner.

Although surprised, Andrea maintained a calm expression and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Bingley also invited me just now, and I have already agreed to him."

Mr. Darcy's expression froze. It was obvious that the decision to invite Andrea to be his partner had made him very embarrassed, but he didn't expect to get a result in the end. However, he quickly restrained his expression and turned to Andrea. Ya nodded and said, "Then I wish Miss Ferguson good night."

Seeing Mr. Darcy walking forward with his back straight, Andrea smiled and shook her head, wondering if she had offended this gentleman again.

"Annie, what business does Mr. Darcy want from you?" Maria asked Andrea curiously while lying on the bed.

"You would never have imagined, Maria, that Mr. Darcy would invite me to be my dance partner tomorrow!" Andrea said while taking off her dressing gown and running to bed and slipped into bed.

"Then did you agree?" Maria immediately raised her upper body and asked with wide-eyed eyes.

Andrea got into bed, wrapped the quilt around her body, and said, "Did you forget that I promised Mr. Bingley during the day?"

"I forgot." Maria fell back on the bed in frustration, looked at the top of the bed and closed her eyes and said, "Actually, Joanna and I agree that you and Mr. Darcy are very suitable standing together."

After hearing this, Andrea unceremoniously stretched out her hand and patted Maria's body, and said with a smile: "Any gentleman and lady stand together and you will feel that they match, unless the two people's looks are really It's a world of difference. If I had to say Miss Bingley was just right by Mr Darcy's side, both of them held their chins up proudly."

"Hehe, you're right, Miss Bingley will definitely cling to Mr Darcy tomorrow." Maria covered her mouth and said with a smile, thinking of Miss Bingley following Mr Darcy eagerly, it made people feel a little funny.

The next day, Mr. Darcy and Georgiana took Andrea and Maria to a clothing store early in the morning, saying that they would buy prom clothes and shoes for Andrea and Maria.Georgiana is very happy that her brother can accompany her to go shopping, which has rarely happened before.But Mr. Darcy kept a straight face all the time, with a businesslike look, which made Andrea feel that she must have offended him very badly last night, maybe even hurt his masculine self-esteem.

Mr. Darcy was really upset, because this was the second time he was rejected by the lady without hesitation. The first time was when Elizabeth refused her invitation to dance at Longbourne, and now Andrea The refusal of his invitation made Mr. Darcy's chest tight.

"Mr. Darcy!"

Just as Andrea and Maria came out to look in the mirror after trying on their clothes, a woman's surprised cry came from the door. Andrea turned her head, and saw Jane looking at Da with an extremely surprised expression. Mr. West, as if Mr. Darcy's arrival here was something unbelievable.

"Ms. Bennet, good morning, when did you come to London?" Mr. Darcy walked over to greet him politely.

"I've been here last month. Mr. Darcy, nice to meet you." Jane said flattered, knowing that this gentleman has always been unwilling to deal with ordinary people like them in her opinion, except for Elizabeth of course. , Mr. Darcy seems to have something different about Elizabeth.

"May I ask your parents and sisters how are they?"

"They are all well, my parents are in good health and my sisters are happy every day," Jane replied.

"Jane, why don't you introduce this gentleman to me?" Jane's aunt, Mrs. Gardiner, walked in with her little daughter and said with a smile.

"Aunt, this is Mr. Darcy. I met him at Longbourne."

"Mr. Darcy, good morning. Nice to meet you." Mrs. Gardiner is a beautiful lady with a very kind personality. She walked up to Jane and greeted Mr. Darcy with a smile, which was quite different from Jane. Kind of similar.

"Good morning, ma'am." Mr. Darcy nodded to Mrs. Gardiner with a straight face, and then turned to look at Andrea and Maria who had changed their clothes again.

It seemed that the conversation could not go on any longer. Although Jane really wanted to inquire about Mr. Bingley's news, she could only endure it when she saw Mr. Darcy's cold face.

Georgiana also changed into an orange skirt and came out at this time. The bright color of the skirt made her skin fairer and her face more beautiful.

Jane stared blankly, feeling a pain in her heart. She has always been confident in her beauty. After all, even a rich bachelor like Mr. Bingley fell in love with her at first sight.But seeing the beautiful Miss Darcy now, Jane once again felt that she had no way to compare with Miss Darcy. She was just a country lady without a dowry, while Miss Darcy was a rich and powerful lady. How to compare.

"Jane, what's the matter with you?" Mrs. Gardiner saw Jane staring at Georgiana with red eye circles, immediately pulled her and asked in a low voice.

"No, it's nothing." Jane shook her head, how could she express her jealousy.
