Pride and Prejudice accident

The wind was blowing outside, the rain was blown in and splashed to the center of the room, and the small fire that Andrea lit was also flickering by the wind, and it seemed that it was about to go out.Andrea quickly grabbed some hay and put it on, and said to Elizabeth: "Miss Bennet, I think we need to close the door, the wind is too strong outside, our clothes are more or less wet, It's easy to catch a cold with the door open."

"Ok."

Elizabeth was indeed a little cold at this time, her skirt was soaked, and the water along the fabric wetted her upper body clothes a little. She looked up at the dilapidated wooden door hanging on the door frame, and she could see that The door has been rough repaired many times. There are some uneven boards nailed on it, and there are several relatively large gaps on the door. It is estimated that even if it is closed, there will still be wind coming in, but at least it will block some.

The door was very difficult to close. While Andrea and Elizabeth had to worry about not hurting their hands from the rusty nails, they also wanted to prevent the wooden door from being blown down by the wind. It took a lot of effort for the two to use a wooden stick. Close the door.The wind blowing into the house became much weaker in an instant, and Andrea took her raincoat and put it on the nails on the door, blocking the big gap with a few books.

There used to be only one small window in the mill, which was sealed up a long time ago, and now the whole room is dark, only lighted by the small fire.

The three of them were shivering from the cold. Andrea had eaten something before, but she was fine now. Georgiana and Elizabeth were cold and hungry, and both of them looked a little pale.

"Andrea, when do you think my brother will come back? I'm so cold and hungry." Georgiana said.

"He will definitely come back as soon as possible, but the road outside is not easy to travel, and it may take some time to drive a carriage. If you are cold, I will make the fire bigger." Andrea said as she went into the fire I put some branches and rotten wood piled up in the corner, all of which were taken and stored by children from poor families. Sometimes they would go to the farmland to steal some potatoes or go to the forest to pick some mushrooms and bring them here Secretly baked and eaten, Andrea met more than once.

Elizabeth held a branch in her hand to pull the fire, and grabbed her skirt with one hand to warm the fire. She said, "It's such a hell of a weather. I don't know when the rain will stop."

Neither Andrea nor Georgiana paid any attention to Elizabeth. Now they are in a terrible mood, and they don't want to provoke the young lady to say some nasty things.Elizabeth also felt that the two of them didn't like her, and she felt a little angry, so she turned her head and started to be in a daze alone.

Mr. Darcy hurried back to Rosings Manor, and met one of the servants who came out to find Georgiana on the way, so he asked him to go to Fitzwilliam and another person, and told them that Georgiana had been found, and let them go first. Back to Rosings Manor, continue to rush back.

By the time they finally rushed back to Rosings Manor, Mr. Darcy's raincoat was almost soaked. Mrs. De Bourgh and Ms. De Bourgh had already woken up from a nap, and they were very worried when they found out that Georgiana was missing. , Seeing Mr. Darcy back dripping, Mrs. De Bourgh left and walked over to ask: "Fitzwilliam, did Georgiana find it?"

Mr. Darcy nodded, and ordered the servant to get three sets of Georgiana's clothes. Then he took the hot tea handed over by the servant, and poured it in one gulp without fear of scalding. After feeling warmer, he said: "She runs away. I twisted my feet when I went out, and I couldn’t come back for a while, so I hid in the old mill on the edge of the village to avoid the rain. Auntie, please lend me a carriage, and I will go and bring Georgiana back.”

Mrs. De Bourgh patted her chest with a sigh of relief when she heard someone found her, and said, "Okay, but go and change your clothes first, and be careful if you get sick. I'll tell the coachman to harness the carriage."

"Cousin, why do you want the maid to pack three sets of clothes?" Miss De Bourner asked while sitting on one side with her head tilted.

"Because the clothes of Miss Ferguson and Miss Bennet are also wet."

"Have they disappeared too?" asked Madame de Bourgh.

"No, I went to Clark Manor to ask Ms. Ferguson if she had seen Georgiana. She knew Georgiana was missing and went out with me to look for it. It was with her help that Georgiana was found." Mr. Darcy said , and then frowned and added: "As for Miss Bennet, I think she also wants to find Georgiana."

After Mr. Darcy went upstairs, Miss De Bourgh lowered her head and began to think. She knew since she was a child that she was going to marry Mr. Darcy. It is inevitable that she will be a little moved. She knows that Mr. Darcy doesn't like her, but marrying him is the best for her. Even if she cares about love and doesn't want to get married, her mother will not allow her to die alone in a sick body. .

A few days ago, Elizabeth made Miss De Bauer feel a little threatened. The occasional eye contact between Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy represented an unusual relationship between the two, but Miss De Bour didn't care too much, because according to her observation Elizabeth was obviously Prefer Colonel Fitzwilliam.But today, when Mr. Darcy said "Miss Ferguson", the change in his eyes made Miss De Bauer very worried. That kind of gentle eyes is definitely a threat.

"Mom, who is the Miss Ferguson that my cousin is talking about?" Miss De Bourgh looked up at Mrs. De Bourner and asked.

"It's the lady William mentioned earlier,"

"Is she very familiar with her cousin?"

"She's just a lady from an ordinary family. Even if she's Georgiana's friend, she won't get in touch with her because of your cousin's character." Mrs. de Bourgh said, her brows furrowed.

It was more than an hour later when Mr. Darcy returned to the mill with the carriage. Because the road was difficult to walk, it took a lot of time to ensure that the carriage did not overturn.

It was almost dark at this time, and Andrea held Georgiana in her arms, and gently stroked her forehead.Georgiana was the least wet of the three of them, but her physique was far inferior to that of Andrea and Elizabeth, so she developed a fever and chills shortly after Mr. Darcy left.Andrea had no choice but to take off her coat to cover her body, but it was not enough.

Elizabeth's condition was not very good either. Although she didn't have a fever, she was almost wet all over. Now she looked very depressed, leaning against the haystack without a word.

Finally, the sound of horses bleating came from outside, and Andrea immediately hugged Georgiana to the haystack behind her, and ran to open the door by herself. With a "bang", the wooden door was blown against the wall by the wind, making a loud noise, and Mr. Darcy jumped off his horse and ran in.

"Mr. Darcy, let the carriage come over and get down to the eaves. Georgiana has a fever. We have to carry her up." Andrea said.

"Have a fever?" Mr. Darcy hurried to check on Georgiana, while shouting to the coachman outside, telling him to stop the carriage as far as possible to the door.

"Mr. Darcy, you're finally here." Elizabeth was a little sleepy before, and she woke up only after hearing the voice. She saw Mr. Darcy coming, and said.

"Miss Bennet, please get into the carriage." Mr. Darcy said in a bad mood. It was all Elizabeth who caused Georgiana to be injured and sick. Mr. Darcy now really regrets that he listened to Mr. Bingley and went to Lambert Well, if he hadn't been there, he wouldn't have gotten to know the Bennet family, and wouldn't have caused so many troubles.

The carriage stopped, and Mr. Darcy quickly carried Georgiana into the carriage, took out the blanket in the carriage and covered her.Andrea quickly extinguished the fire, took a wet raincoat and poured some water on the ashes, and soon got into the car, but when she turned around, she saw Elizabeth still lying motionless on the haystack.

"Miss Bennet, come here quickly, it's getting dark, we have to go back early." Andrea shouted.

But Elizabeth just moved, and immediately fell back again, and said with a powerless look: "I'm not feeling well." Mr. Darcy was leading Andrea's horse to tie it to the carriage, when he turned around and saw Elizabeth. He frowned, hesitating whether to help or not.

Andrea jumped out of the carriage impatiently, and quickly went to help Elizabeth up. She had checked it just now. Elizabeth should not have a fever. Walk a few steps, do you really want to be so weak?

Andrea remembered that Miss Bingley had said before when she criticized Jane, that she had invited Jane to Nijfi as a guest, but the weather was bad that day, but Jane rode there, and it was raining on the way and had a fever while eating dinner. He passed out while eating.At that time, Miss Bingley said that Jane was a bit too pretentious. Who hasn't had a fever? Why would she suddenly have a fever and faint?

After the carriage moved, Andrea drew the curtains on the window and began to change Georgiana's clothes, while saying to Elizabeth: "Miss Bennet, you should change your clothes too, wet clothes are uncomfortable .”

Elizabeth sat up slowly. She really felt very uncomfortable. She was always in good health and rarely fell ill. Whenever she fell ill, she felt extremely uncomfortable and wished she could lie still.But she also knew that Andrea would not help her change her clothes, so she had no choice but to sit up and change herself.

Andrea breathed a sigh of relief after she changed her clothes. Georgiana was lying on her lap and fell asleep. Elizabeth seemed to have no energy at all. Even she herself felt a little dizzy, so she closed her eyes. Close your eyes and rest.

Andrea was awakened when the carriage stopped. It turned out that she had arrived at Rosings Manor. Mr. Darcy came over and opened the carriage door. He picked up Georgiana and ran into the house. Andrea had to help Elizabeth get off. carriage.

Rosings Manor had a specialized doctor, who was already guarding the living room at this time. Mr. Darcy carried Georgiana all the way back to the room, and the doctor followed him. After carefully examining Georgiana, the doctor sent someone to give George Anna fed the medicine to treat the high fever, and bandaged the wound on Georgiana's hand, and the doctor couldn't do anything about the sprained foot.

"Miss Darcy's fever is not very serious. As long as you take care of it carefully and take the medicine on time, there shouldn't be any problem. The hand injury is just a bit of broken skin, and it will be fine in a few days. As for the sprained foot, it's not bad either. It's serious, just take a good rest for a while." The doctor said.

Mr. Darcy felt relieved when he heard that Georgiana was fine, and said, "Thank you, then please help to check the other two ladies."

Then the doctor checked Andrea and Elizabeth. Both of them caught a cold and had a slight fever. As for why Elizabeth felt particularly uncomfortable, the doctor deduced that she was frightened, as long as she rested Well, nothing will happen.

Andrea and Elizabeth stayed at Rosings Manor, and the storm didn't stop that night.

The author has something to say: In the 95 version of Pride and Prejudice, Jane fainted while eating because of a fever in the rain. The fever was so severe, at least I could still walk around with a clear mind when the fever reached nearly [-] degrees.
