[Pride and Prejudice] The leisurely life of Miss Bentley

"Bingley, if you can't concentrate on billiards, I don't think there is a need to continue." In Netherfield Gardens, after Mr. Bingley hit the free ball for the N+1 time, Darcy put away the cue and pointed at his partner Said.

"I'm sorry, Darcy. I can't help but think of Miss Jane Bennet's smile, which prevents me from concentrating on my game. Even though the Miss Bennets only came to visit a few days ago, I feel as if I have It's been a long time since I saw this lovely lady..."

"Bingley, with all due respect, has this lucky Miss Bennet won your heart?"

"I really can't imagine a more beautiful angel in the world than Miss Jane Bennet." Bingley's face glowed with dreamy colors, "Oh, yes, I think this lady has held me tightly heart..."

Mr. Darcy frowned when he heard the words, "Bingley, as your loyal friend, I know it's harsh, but I still want to remind you that Miss Bennet's meekness is not only aimed at you, and she laughs too much gone."

"I have no doubts about your loyalty as a friend, Darcy, nor do I find it inappropriate for you to make this reminder. But I think that perhaps Miss Bennet is only being too reserved, and I am very willing to agree with this party until I am sure." Miss Bennet has a lot of company. Maybe I should ask Caroline to send a letter to the Bennet family inviting Miss Bennet to Netherfield Gardens? Darcy, what do you think?"

"It's up to you," Darcy said after thinking for a while, "please don't forget my reminder."

"Of course," said Bingley cheerfully, with Mr. Darcy's affirmation.

After asking the maid on the side where Caroline was, Mr. Bingley and Mr. Darcy went to find her.

It was dusk at this time, and the sunset gave Netherfield a rich golden layer, and the mist slowly rose from a distance, everything was very lovely.Caroline was sitting on the sofa by the window in the living room, concentrating on reading the book in her hand, oblivious to the arrival of the two of them.

The afterglow of the setting sun shines through the window on the girl's clean face, peaceful and beautiful.

"Caroline, I think we should take the initiative to invite the Miss Bennets to Netherfield Gardens." Bingley shouted, "Brother-in-law and sister are still in London, and they can be your company when they come..."

Darcy, who followed Bingley into the living room, couldn't help being a little lost, but was drawn back by Mr. Bingley's yelling.

Caroline knew well Mr. Bingley's true intention to invite the Miss Bennets, but she didn't want to let him do so so quickly, so she said: "You are absolutely right, I also think that Netherfield The garden is a bit deserted." Caroline looked at Mr. Bingley's happy face and said, "I will write to Miss Elizabeth Bennet to visit the house later, and I have a good deal with this lady. "

"Caroline," Mr. Bingley said anxiously, "should we also invite Miss Jane Bennet..."

"Miss Bennet? But I really can't talk to this lady." Caroline said with a smile.

Mr. Bingley was embarrassed and anxious. He could frankly admit his affection for Miss Jane Bennet in front of Darcy, who is also a man, but he was really embarrassed to ask his sister to help Miss Bennet in front of Caroline. Come.Mr. Bingley's face was filled with arrogance: What's the matter with Caroline, isn't she usually very smart and understanding, why did she lose the chain at a critical moment!

Caroline couldn't help but chuckle seeing her brother running around in a hurry and not knowing what to do.Darcy, who was standing aside, couldn't help laughing when he saw the interaction between the two brothers and sisters.Only then did Mr. Bingley react belatedly. Although he was a little embarrassed, Mr. Bingley was still excited when he thought of meeting Miss Jane Bennet, whom he had been thinking about so much.

The morning at Longbourn Manor was still noisy. Jane and Elizabeth were sewing in a corner of the living room and chatting from time to time; Mary locked herself in the upstairs room to read; You chase after each other with a ribbon, making the family fall apart.

Mrs. Bennet was arguing with Mr. Bennet whether she should say something stupid about her two young daughters, and the letter from Netherfield Gardens was delivered. Go to dinner, and hope to come to Yunyun as soon as possible.

Mrs. Bennet was overjoyed, and hurriedly urged Jane to pack her clothes and go to Netherfield Gardens.

【"Honey, you'd better go on horseback," Mrs. Bennet said actuarially. "It looks like it's going to rain. If it rains, you can spend the night there."】

Elizabeth felt that her mother was finally wise enough, so she helped Mrs. Bennet to force Mr. Bennet to admit that the few horses in the family had been used for other purposes. 【As a result, Jane had to ride another horse. While Mrs. Bennet escorted her to the door, she also said such things as the weather would definitely turn bad and Jane's wish would come true. 】

Facts have proved that Mrs. Bennet really made a fortune-telling plan. Not long after Jane Bennet left Longbourn, the sky became overcast, and then big raindrops fell from the sky, knocking on the windows.Throughout the evening, it rained heavily, and Mrs. Bennet was very happy, "It's a good thing I came up with this good idea!" Elizabeth regretted her practice a little, and if Jane got caught in the rainstorm and got sick, it would be more than she expected. hoped for it.

Sure enough, after a torrential rain, Miss Jane Bennet already felt slightly unwell during dinner, and the situation did not improve but worsened in the early morning of the next day.Poor Mr. Bingley's enthusiasm was now full of worry.

After sending letters to Longbourn Hall, Miss Jane Bennet was already in a fever.Mr. Bingley was frowning looking at her reddened face, and Mr. Darcy also had a serious face. Because of her previous experience in taking care of patients, Caroline temporarily took care of Bennet before the doctor arrived. Miss responsibility.

In fact, Caroline, who knew the original book, understood that this time Miss Jane Bennet would eventually save herself from danger, but it was still very uncomfortable to see a person who was usually energetic and sick lying on the bed.Caroline suddenly remembered that the willow sap that Mr. House asked her to drink when Miss Kester fell into the water was very effective. Can it be done in the same way?

After hearing Caroline's thoughts, Mr. Bingley, who has always trusted his family, didn't say anything, but Mr. Darcy objected: "Miss Caroline, I understand that you want to cure Miss Bennet. I am also very worried about Miss Bennet's condition. However, if the actual effect of willow sap cannot be confirmed and no doctor is present, if something happens to Miss Bennet, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"However, Mr. Darcy, Mr. House prescribed willow sap to my good friend Miss Kester, and the effect is quite good." Caroline argued.

"That's good, but can you guarantee that Miss Bennet's symptoms are exactly the same as Miss Kester's? I'm not doubting your sincerity, but Miss Caroline must admit that it's just in case. The result is not something you can bear, is it?"

Caroline opened her mouth and wanted to say something to refute, but felt that what Darcy said had some truth, so she finally stopped dejectedly.

When the atmosphere was tense, the doctor came to check the patient's symptoms and confirmed that Miss Bennet had a severe cold.In addition to asking Caroline to take care of her and continue the physical cooling, he prescribed a bowl of willow juice and several other medicines for Miss Bennet.

After the doctor left, Caroline obeyed his orders immediately, and seldom left Miss Bennet's room.Mr. Darcy, unable to find an opportunity of speaking to her alone, resentfully went down-stairs with Mr. Bingley, who could not be of much help in their rooms.So until Miss Elizabeth Bennet came to Netherfield Gardens, Miss Bennet's condition improved slightly, and Caroline, Mr. Bingley and Mr. Darcy were relieved a little.
