Pride and Prejudice accident

It was almost noon when Andrea woke up the next day, the sky was still gloomy, and there was still a strong wind, but it was no longer raining.Andrea was a little dizzy, she didn't want to move very much while lying down, but her stomach was about to be flattened, and if she couldn't get up, she could only continue to be hungry.Last night, Andrea only ate a little because she was not feeling well. She woke up once in the middle of the night and felt very hungry, but the maid next to the bed was sleeping soundly. He fell asleep again in a daze.

"Miss Ferguson, you're awake, do you want some water?" The maid standing by the bed saw Andrea woke up, and immediately stood up and poured a glass of water and asked.

Andrea glanced, this is not the maid who was sleepy and unable to wake up yesterday, she nodded, took a big sip from the water glass and asked, "How is Georgiana?"

"Miss Darcy woke up in the morning and still had a fever, but she has recovered a lot, and she should be asleep again now."

"And Mr. Darcy, he hasn't caught a cold?"

"Mr. Darcy woke up this morning with a cough, but otherwise all right."

"That's good, can you help me get some light food, I'm a little hungry." Andrea handed the water glass back to the maid, and said as she lay back on the bed.

"Madam specially ordered the kitchen to make some oatmeal porridge and vegetable salad suitable for patients today. Miss, do you want to eat?"

"No vegetable salad, and please help me fry two eggs." Andrea said, she is not very used to eating Western food, those foods are either half-baked or raw, every time she sees something like vegetable salad, she I feel like I have become a rabbit eating grass, and I lose my appetite when I see it.

After the maid went down, someone brought washing water soon, and Andrea washed up, then lay back on the bed and waited for breakfast.But the breakfast was not brought, and Mr. Darcy came first. His nose was a little red, and his complexion was not very good. It seemed that he had caught a cold.

"I heard from the maid that you woke up. Do you still feel unwell? Do you want to ask a doctor to check?" Mr. Darcy said, his voice was a little hoarse, no matter how good his health was after being drenched in the rain for too long yesterday Still have a cold.

"It's all right. I think you can take a day off today. But Mr. Darcy, are you okay?" Andrea asked, sitting on the head of the bed, pulling the shawl on her body.

Mr. Darcy coughed softly, and said, "It's okay, it's just a cold, and it will be fine soon."

"By the way, Mr. Darcy, have you notified my family that I am here?" When they arrived at Rosings Manor last night, it was so dark that the servants couldn't go out at all, so He didn't go to Clark Manor to inform her about staying here.

"I went early in the morning, and your family said they would come to visit in the afternoon."

"Thank you very much." Andrea nodded, the conversation seemed to have reached the point where there was no need to continue, but Mr. Darcy still stood erect by the bed, so Andrea had to find something to ask: "Ben How's Miss Nutt, she didn't look all right yesterday."

"I heard from the maid that she has woken up, so there should be nothing wrong." Mr. Darcy said, he did not go to visit Elizabeth, because Elizabeth consumed all his goodwill yesterday.

Elizabeth can think that Wickham is a good person, but Mr. Darcy can't forgive her for using Wickham to hurt her sister, even if she didn't mean it.Especially when he saw Georgiana's swollen and scary ankle, Mr. Darcy gritted his teeth angrily. Georgiana had never suffered such a serious injury since she was a child.

And Mr. Darcy also felt that he should keep a distance from Elizabeth. Even though Mr. Darcy knew that Elizabeth didn't like him very much, he still knew that there was an affair between the two, so he had been between Elizabeth and Andrea before. He lingered, but now he felt that he had set his sights.Such a young lady treats his sister as her own, and is willing to go out in the rain with him to look for it without hesitation after hearing that Georgiana is missing. Where can I find such a young lady.

Mr. Darcy stayed in Andrea's room for more than half an hour, and when he came out, he saw Charlotte approaching, "Mrs. Turner, good morning, are you here to visit Miss Bennet?"

"Yes, I sent her a letter from her home." Charlotte said with a smile.

Elizabeth didn't come back all night yesterday, so Charlotte knew that she was staying at Rosings Manor, and she felt that the relationship between Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy must have developed, otherwise Elizabeth's character would not have stayed overnight.Who knew that the servant at Rosings Manor said early this morning that Elizabeth was staying overnight because of illness, which worried her to the core. If anything happened to Elizabeth when she was a guest at her house, she would not treat Bennet well. The family confessed, so they hurried over early in the morning with a letter from the Bennet family.

Elizabeth had already woken up, and she was thinking about yesterday's events, thinking of Mr. Darcy saving her from the mad horse yesterday, and for the first time felt that Mr. Darcy was indeed a very charming gentleman.But at the same time, Elizabeth was also a little annoyed. She really shouldn't have quarreled with Mr. Darcy at that time. After all, strictly speaking, Georgiana ran out because of her. She was still arguing with Mr. Darcy at that time. The bad-tempered gentleman was very angry.

Elizabeth wanted to wait for Mr. Darcy to visit her, so she apologized weakly, but unfortunately she waited from early morning to almost noon, and Mr. Darcy did not come to visit her.

"Lixi, are you okay? I heard that you're sick, but I'm really worried." Charlotte walked into the room and said with concern.

"It's okay, I just have a little fever." Elizabeth smiled, and saw the letter in Charlotte's hand with sharp eyes, "Is this for me?"

"Yes, your father wrote it." Charlotte sat on the bedside and handed the letter to Elizabeth.

Elizabeth was a little strange. She thought it was normal for anyone in the family to write to her, but Mr. Bennet was a little too cautious when writing to her, so she immediately opened the letter and read it at a glance.Only halfway through the letter, Elizabeth covered her mouth and exclaimed, "Oh, God, how could this happen!" She cried, unable to believe what the letter said.

"Lissie, what's the matter with you, what happened?" Charlotte asked anxiously. This was the first time Elizabeth lost her composure in front of her. You must know that she has always looked confident.

Elizabeth asked the maid in the room to go out, and after the door was closed, she cried and said: "My aunt wrote to say that Jane was beaten, and my father has already rushed to London. How could this happen!"

"What?" Charlotte was also taken aback. With Jane's character, it is absolutely impossible to argue with others. How could she fight with others. "Lissie, did the letter say what really happened?"

"No, Dad just said that Jane's forehead was broken and shed a lot of blood, and she is very bad now, let me go home as soon as possible, and then go to London with my mother." Elizabeth said that she was about to get up from the bed, But because the movement was too violent, he fell back on the bed.

Charlotte quickly supported her and said, "But you are still sick, how can you hurry?"

"I don't care, I must go to see Jane, she must be very sad and frightened, her face is so beautiful, what if there is a scar on her head." Elizabeth said excitedly, determined to get up from the bed.

Charlotte had no choice. She knew that Elizabeth would not be able to bring back ten cows even if she was stubborn, so she had to help Elizabeth get up and change her clothes, and then helped her go downstairs.

Mr. Darcy and the others are having tea in the living room downstairs. Colonel Fitzwilliam is saying that he will leave Hansford for London tomorrow. Mrs. De Bourgh is trying to persuade him to stay a few days longer, because she thinks the rain these days must The road outside is very difficult to walk. Taking a horse-drawn carriage will waste a lot of time, and the mud will stain the carriage and make it more likely to be damaged.

Colonel Fitzwilliam shook his head. If there were no accidents, he would naturally stay for a few more days and wait for the weather to clear up before leaving. However, he did encounter a difficult situation. If the road today was not so difficult, he would have prepared Let's go today.

"Colonel Fitzwilliam, are you going to London? Can you give me a ride?" Elizabeth said hastily when she heard Colonel Fitzwilliam say she was going to London when she walked to the living room.

"Miss Bennet?" Colonel Fitzwilliam looked at Elizabeth suspiciously, wondering what she meant. Isn't she sick?

"I have something urgent to go to London, please Colonel Fitzwilliam to give me a ride." Elizabeth explained.

"But Miss Bennet, you are sick. Even if it's urgent, you can't hurry." Colonel Fitzwilliam didn't want to take care of a sick lady while he was on his way. He didn't know how to take care of others.

"My illness doesn't matter. I'm already cured. I do have a very urgent matter. I ask Colonel Fitzwilliam to give me a ride no matter what." Elizabeth said with a firm expression.

Seeing Elizabeth like this, Colonel Fitzwilliam couldn't refuse, so he nodded in embarrassment and agreed. Elizabeth breathed a sigh of relief, said goodbye to Mrs. de Bourgh, and hurried back to Turner's house with Charlotte, writing a letter to her family. I wrote a letter stating that I was going directly to London, then I packed my luggage and started to rest, so as to ensure that I could get on the road on time the next day.
