Pride and Prejudice accident

It wasn't until she heard the sound of the door closing that Andrea stood up abruptly, quickly pulled up her pants and skirt, bared her teeth in remorse for a long time, took the book that fell on the floor, took a few deep breaths, and went to open the door .

Mr. Darcy stood with his back turned outside the door. He took a step back when he heard Andrea coming out and turned around. He raised his chin and nodded to Andrea, but his eyes didn't blink. Looking at the wall next to Andrea's head, she greeted as usual: "Miss Ferguson, good afternoon."

Andrea is a little tangled. The habits of foreigners are really strange. Women’s skirts are all showing their arms. Some people’s necklines are open and half of their breasts are exposed, but everyone doesn’t care, but a small part is missing. The legs are like a big deal.

Andrea took a peek at Mr. Darcy, but Mr. Darcy's expression couldn't tell whether he was angry, which made Andrea feel a little uneasy. It would be very uncomfortable to enter the study casually when the master was not at home. I'm being rude, but I was seen sitting on the ground with no image, and more importantly, my legs were exposed.Andrea can be sure that if it was Maria, she would definitely cry unbearably, but now it is not Maria who was bumped into this embarrassing scene, and Maria would never do that kind of behavior.

Andrea was silent and didn't know what to say, while Mr. Darcy stared at the wall intently and didn't speak. The two stood like this in the corridor for several minutes. Finally, Andrea couldn't stand the oppressive atmosphere and lowered her voice. The head said: "I'm sorry Mr. Darcy, I'm so rude, I will move to my uncle's house tomorrow."

Meanwhile Mr. Darcy said: "I'm sorry, but I'll take care of it, Miss Ferguson."

Both of them were taken aback for a moment, and Andrea thought she had heard it wrong, she raised her head and looked at Mr Darcy in disbelief, what did this gentleman mean when he said he was responsible?Responsible, is that what she meant?

"What did you say, Mr. Darcy?"

Mr. Darcy still raised his chin, but frowned, glanced at the flushed Andrea from the corner of his eyes, and said, "I will be responsible for what happened just now."

"No, no, Mr. Darcy, I don't need you to be responsible. I accidentally hit my foot when I was holding the book. It has nothing to do with you. And why do you want to be responsible? If it's just because of what happened just now The thing, it was a complete misunderstanding, Mr. Darcy just had to act as if he didn’t see anything, and we both acted as if it hadn’t happened, that’s all. I’ll take Maria home right away, nothing will happen. will not happen."

Andrea panicked and waved her hands again and again. Mr. Darcy said he would be responsible as soon as he came up, which really shocked her. How can he be responsible?Could it be that he wants to marry her just because he took a look at her black and blue legs? This is too unrealistic.And if it is just because of this that they have to be responsible, it is too ridiculous. In fact, the two of them can only be regarded as familiar strangers at most, and there is probably only a little bit of friendship. Responsible, what a joke!

Mr. Darcy frowned even tighter. The moment he saw Andrea's legs, he really had only one thought. As a gentleman, he was belittling a lady, so the only thing he could do was Responsible.Of course, he was absolutely unhappy in his heart. Anyone who entered his study and found an intruder, and also saw the intruder showing his legs to him would not be happy.But what is the solution? Is it really necessary to pretend that this incident has never happened, but Mr. Darcy's integrity does not allow him to pretend that this incident has never happened, and now he still has that black cyan in his mind A big piece of tender white calf.

"As a gentleman, I have to be responsible for this!" Mr. Darcy said righteously and gritted his teeth word by word.

"As a gentleman, you should consider everything for the lady. I want you to act as if nothing happened, so Mr. Darcy, please act as if nothing happened, okay?" Andrea begged with her hands clasped together. Looking at Mr. Darcy, she felt very regretful. It would be great if she went out with Georgiana and Maria today. Why did she go into other people's study room when she knew it was not good? Why did she have to choose so many books? Look at that big encyclopedia, what to do now, in this age of etiquette, how to solve this kind of thing!

Of course, Mr. Darcy didn't want to be responsible, and he didn't have any special feelings for Andrea, but it would be too contrary to his principles to be irresponsible, and Mr. Darcy has always been a very principled person , so he had no choice but to stand silently, and he began to regret why he couldn't slow down when he entered the study, so that at least Andrea could have time to cover his legs.

The two fell into an awkward silence again. Mr. Darcy hoped to think of the best solution in the silence, while Andrea hoped to let this matter disappear in the silence, but obviously nothing would happen after the silence occur.

After a long time, Mr. Darcy said: "I can't treat this as if it never happened."

"But how are you going to be responsible?" Andrea asked, looking at Mr. Darcy.

"I, I will visit your family and ask your father..." Mr. Darcy said it very hard. It is easy to say the word responsible, but it is not easy to say how to be responsible anyway.

"Look, you don't want to be responsible. The two of us have nothing to do with each other. After I leave London, we may never see each other again. By this time next year, you won't be able to remember today's meeting with a man named Ender." A very small embarrassment that happened to Leah Ferguson's girl. So, Mr. Darcy, don't say anything responsible, and let's just pretend nothing happened, okay?"

Andrea looked at Mr. Darcy expectantly, hoping that he would say yes, but Mr. Darcy kept his face stiff and refused to nod his neck.

"Anne, Mr. Darcy, what are you doing?" Maria stood at the stairs and looked at her sister and Mr. Darcy, feeling very strange.

"Oh, it's nothing, I'm just discussing the encyclopedia." Andrea shook the book in her hand, walked around Mr. Darcy as if nothing happened, and asked Maria : "How did you come back so soon, Georgiana?"

Maria blushed, and said in a low voice: "We met Mr. Green just as we got off the carriage. When Mr. Green heard that we were going shopping, he said that he wanted to go shopping with us. I knew he was going to accompany Georgiana. I felt a little awkward staying there, so I came back."

"Is Georgiana alone with Mr. Green?" Andrea asked.

"No, there are two other maids there. If she is alone, I won't come back." Maria shook her head and said, she just felt awkward watching Mr. Green courting Georgiana, so she came back Yes, Georgiana would not be at ease if she were there alone.

"That's good. If this is the case, let's go back to the room. Mr. Darcy, thank you for your book." Andrea said, turning her head and thanking Mr. Darcy, and pulled Maria back to the room quickly .

After returning to the room, Andrea breathed a sigh of relief. Maria came back in time. She didn't know what to do if she came back later. Mr. Darcy is really stubborn. It's her who is being watched Ah, she can pretend that it never happened. Why can't this Mr. Darcy be flexible and insist on taking some responsibility, since he is clearly thinking of Elizabeth, how can he be responsible?

Seeing Andrea leave, Mr. Darcy also heaved a sigh of relief. The matter was resolved briefly, but Mr. Darcy was not completely relaxed in his heart. After all, he is a relatively old-fashioned gentleman who abides by some old-fashioned rules. As a rule, if a person like Wickham encountered what happened just now, he would just treat it as a small affair, but it would be a big burden for a person like Mr. Darcy.

Of course, Andrea said that Mr. Darcy was not responsible. Mr. Darcy was indeed a little happy, but at the same time he was also very contradictory.Mr. Darcy's rationality told him that he should be responsible for looking at a lady's legs, but he couldn't accept it emotionally. If Andrea was the lady he liked, he would be very happy, but unfortunately he didn't like her. Andrea doesn't seem to have any feelings of liking, doesn't she seem to have none?

Sitting in the study room and meditating for a long time, Mr. Darcy couldn't help but think of Elizabeth. He knew that he liked Elizabeth in his heart, but when that kind of liking was far from beyond reason, Elizabeth's family was really not suitable. If she With a family like Andrea, if she was in the study just now, then Mr. Darcy would be willing to take responsibility.It's a pity that the people of the Bennet family saw that only Elizabeth and Jane were barely good in Mr. Darcy's view, but now even Jane has changed, and Elizabeth has also made Mr. Darcy not sure whether she is really what he knew before. .

There was a knock on the door of the study room, and the butler came in to report that Andrea and Maria were asking the maid to pack up and prepare to leave tomorrow. He wanted to ask Mr. Darcy if he would like to make a bigger dinner tonight as a farewell banquet.

Mr. Darcy raised his hand and squeezed his frowning brows. He didn't expect Andrea to leave as soon as he said it. Could it be that Andrea really didn't want him to be responsible at all?Mr. Darcy felt a little uncomfortable. He has always been absolutely confident in himself. No matter in wisdom, character, wealth or appearance, Mr. Darcy can say that he is first-class, since he entered the social circle. There are countless young ladies who fell in love with him at first sight, expressing their love graciously, but now it seems that his charm has completely failed on Andrea's side. This young lady's leg was seen by him not only does not want him to be responsible , now that I can't wait to leave.

Mr. Darcy was depressed and angry. This was the first time he said that he would be responsible to a lady, and this was a lady who did not meet his ideal of a perfect woman, but this lady unexpectedly refused. .The more Mr. Darcy thought about it, the angrier he became, and he wished to go to Andrea to argue and ask Andrea what was wrong with him that made Andrea look down on him.But it is obvious that Mr. Darcy cannot go to Andrea to make a theory, let alone make a theory about this kind of problem.

Mr. Darcy was going to go to Georgiana at night and ask her to stay with Andrea for a few days, so that he could think of the best way to solve the accident just now, but he saw the letter from de Boer on the table. Mrs. Darcy's letter, if he wants to catch up with the celebration banquet, Mr. Darcy has to leave the day after tomorrow at the latest, so he has no reason to keep Andrea, so he can only say to the housekeeper who is standing by with a dark face : "The richer the dinner tonight, the better."

The author has something to say:

I don’t know if I should be responsible for this situation at the time. I only found out that in Austin’s time, women were very strict and couldn’t make up. The skirts they wore were very conservative, and they had to cover their ankles. Yes, let him be responsible.Next, Elizabeth will come out for a while, and the first marriage proposal in the original book will become a plot where Mr. Darcy is completely disappointed in Elizabeth.By the way, Miss Lucas will arrange a good relationship for her, at least I look good.
