[Pride and Prejudice] The leisurely life of Miss Bentley

When Elizabeth Bennet heard the letter from Netherfield yesterday, she had an ominous premonition. After reading the letter, her premonition really became a reality.Mrs. Bennet didn't take it seriously, because a little cold would kill her.The rest of the younger sisters also felt that Jane would have no major problems. The one who was really anxious was Elizabeth. She had already regretted it when it rained heavily yesterday evening, and now she was determined to go there no matter whether she had a car or not, but She couldn't ride a horse, so she had to walk there.

Regardless of how much Miss Elizabeth Bennet had persuaded her mother at Longbourne Park, she was in a state of dismay when she finally walked the dirt path to Netherfield.When she was ushered into the dining room, her socks and petticoat were muddy and her face was flushed from the long walk.

Caroline, Mr. Bingley and Mr. Darcy had just come out of Miss Bennet's room at this time.After the doctor's treatment, the lady's condition has been brought under control, she still has some fever, but it is much better than the previous high fever.

Elizabeth was already feeling guilty because she persuaded her mother to cause her elder sister to get sick, and she expected that Miss Bingley would look down on her embarrassing appearance, so she stood aside very restrainedly.But Caroline didn't care about these things, and received her very politely, and Mr. Bingley was very courteous.But Mr. Darcy's clear expression made her very uncomfortable, so after a few pleasantries, Elizabeth proposed to see her sister's condition.

Miss Jane Bennet was very happy to see Elizabeth, but because of her severe headache, she didn't have the strength to speak much, and Mr. Bingley and others were also there, so she didn't say much.Seeing this, Caroline took Mr. Bingley and others downstairs, leaving the room to the two Bennet sisters.Seeing that her sister's condition was not as serious as she had imagined, Elizabeth put down the big stone in her heart, and quietly waited for her sister.

After Caroline transferred Miss Bennet to her sister, Darcy finally found a chance to say a few words to her, "Miss Caroline, I must apologize to you for my previous attitude, your judgment is correct."

"Mr. Darcy, you have done nothing wrong," Caroline was looking out from the window at that time, thinking, "It is also practical to stop me without understanding the effect of the medicine, after all, my behavior is too serious." Reckless." Caroline said sadly: "I... just feel a little frustrated."

"With all due respect, the cause of Miss Bennet's illness is not simple. Even if her illness cannot be controlled, you should never bear the responsibility. What's more, under your careful care of Miss Bennet, This lady's condition has improved." Darcy's implication is that Caroline doesn't need to blame herself too much, and Caroline can be regarded as the most benevolent in terms of morality and behavior.

Mr. Darcy only thinks that this lady is really kind-hearted (Fog), which is not a very good thing for a lady, and it will inevitably be used by someone with a heart (Fog).Now that he has regarded the Bingley brothers and sisters as his own, Darcy thinks it is his duty to wake up Miss Bingley.In fact, Caroline is not guilty of Miss Bennet's illness (this guy already knows the plot), but she is worried about her failure to work at the critical moment after studying in the academy for so long!

"Oh! Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Darcy, you may have misunderstood..." Caroline began to feel that this gentleman is really very amiable to her friends, maybe she can share her thoughts with him?

"Miss Caroline, you really worry too much. When God is beyond his power, let alone us ordinary people." Darcy said, "You are too demanding of yourself."

Caroline thought maybe Darcy could understand her own thoughts, but she couldn't help but be a little moved when he said such comforting words in a serious manner.Perhaps it was because Caroline was worried that she would be like Miss Bingley in the original book since she traveled through time—although she had some talents, she was not liked by others because of her arrogance, rudeness, selfishness, and even her elder brother, Mr. Bingley, found it unbearable. After meeting the Bennet family, he would like to make friends with Miss Bennet more, as if to prove that he is not Miss Bingley in the original book.In fact, Caroline doesn't need to do this deliberately. She is not the same person as Miss Bingley in the original book, as long as she follows her own heart.

Mr. Darcy didn't know that he was Miss Bingley with a new core, but what he said suddenly opened the knot in Caroline's heart that she hadn't even noticed for a long time.So it is really beneficial to have Darcy as a friend. You are so lucky, Mr. Bingley. Caroline is a little jealous of her brother.

Since Miss Jane Bennet was really reluctant to part with her sister, Caroline went ahead and asked Elizabeth to stay for a while. As for Mr. Bingley, don't think about him at all, as long as he has something to do with Miss Jane, he will basically agree. .

Elizabeth Bennet watched over her sister every step of the way until dusk. When she saw her asleep, she was relieved and felt that she should go downstairs.Going into the drawing-room, she found that Mr. and Mrs. Hurst had returned from London, and were playing cards with Mr. Bingley.Mrs. Hurst immediately invited Miss Elizabeth Bennet to play together, but Caroline knew that Elizabeth would not agree, and she was afraid that she would not be able to please her sister.Sure enough, the lady said that she was worried about her sick sister, and that she would just take a few books for entertainment.

Mr. Hurst looked at her in surprise. "Would you rather read a book than play cards?" said he. "That's very rare."

Mrs. Hurst continued: "Miss Elizabeth Bennet is a scholar, how can she look down on playing cards?"

Elizabeth blushed and shouted: "I'm not a scholar, but I'm really not good at playing cards and I have no interest. I'll go upstairs in a while."

Determined to get Miss Bennet out before Mrs. Hurst burns herself, Caroline invites her to the library.Although Elizabeth Bennet was very grateful for her rescue, she didn't want to make things difficult for her, and only told her that the few books she already had were enough for her to read.Mrs. Hurst called Caroline loudly to go and look at the cards again. Caroline had to stop talking with Elizabeth and go to the card table. Elizabeth went downstairs after wandering for a while. went upstairs.

Elizabeth spent most of that night in her sister's room. Although Caroline felt that it was not good for her to be left out in the cold, Mrs. Hurst didn't like Elizabeth very much. However, Caroline couldn't brush off her sister's intentions face to face, thinking that she would find an opportunity to talk to her about this matter.

Early the next morning, Mrs. Hurst and Caroline went to Miss Jane Bennet's room as usual, and found that Miss Bennet's condition improved slowly, but slightly.At the request of Elizabeth Bennet, Mrs. Hurst still agreed to send her to Longbourne, and asked Mrs. Bennet to see Miss Bennet herself and judge for herself how her condition was.

The author has something to say: there is an event on a certain night, this is the lovely manuscript box gentleman.

By the way, what mooncakes did you eat tonight?What I dislike the most in a certain night is Wu Ren's La.
