[Pride and Prejudice] The leisurely life of Miss Bentley

It is said that after Mr. Darcy learned that Mr. Kester invited Caroline to the Royal Opera House to watch the opera through Miss Kester, he turned around and headed towards the Royal Opera House, and Mr. Bingley followed closely. Mr. Darcy's footsteps followed outside the opera house.

The road outside the opera house had long been occupied by carriages marked with various family crests, and the coachman of the Bentley family managed to find a parking space about two streets away from the opera house.

It seems that the new drama released this time is very popular, such an unprecedented event.thought Mr. Bingley.

Darcy and his party came up on the spur of the moment, so naturally they didn't book tickets in advance.So when I was about to enter the opera house, I was stopped of course.The person who was intercepted was in a bad mood, and the staff member who blocked them was about to cry: Sir, I am not trying to embarrass you, our tickets are really sold out!Can you stop killing me with your eyes... woo woo woo, it's so scary!

When the staff was stretched, what a coincidence, Mr. Bingley was so sharp-eyed that he noticed Colonel Fitzwilliam who was also watching the new play, ahem... accompanied by a female companion, Miss Cavendish.

Mr. Bingley said hello, and Mr. Darcy also saw Colonel Fitzwilliam and Miss Cavendish coming towards them.If it were on a normal day, Mr. Darcy must have had a lot of thoughts at this moment: How could Fitzwilliam appear in the Royal Opera House?Shouldn't he be in the army at this time?Is it a vacation or a regular vacation?Why didn't Fitzwilliam report a letter to himself when he returned to London?And what's going on with this Miss Ka He?And what of Fitzwilliam's attitude of courting the young lady?

But at this moment, Mr. Darcy only felt a little embarrassed. He always felt that the smiling eyes of his cousin Colonel Fitzwilliam seemed to have other meanings.

After a brief salute and a few pleasantries, Mr. Darcy remained silent, allowing Mr. Bingley to tell Colonel Fitzwilliam that they wanted to enter the Opera House but were denied entry because they had no tickets. I said it again.

What good solution can Colonel Fitzwilliam come up with? He can neither use power to suppress others, nor have acquaintances, let alone speak ill of each other. At the moment, he can only express his helplessness.Unexpectedly, Miss Cavendish, who was listening carefully to their conversation, interjected with a light smile: "It seems that today is going to be a "Beauty Saves Heroes" first. Mr. Bingley, Mr. Darcy, I was booking a box earlier At that time, I happened to reserve another place for other friends, and now they are unable to come due to temporary business. If you don't mind, how about we go in together?"

Mr. Bingley was overjoyed, and Mr. Darcy, though hesitant because he was about to owe the lady a favor, agreed to go with him.Thus, there was the "scary" scene that Caroline saw when she looked at the ground with a telescope.

The interior of the Royal Opera House is very spacious.The semi-arc-shaped stage is located in the center of the entire performance hall, and surrounded by layers of boxes, which are small and unique.

Soon after entering the performance hall, Mr. Darcy and Mr. Bingley separated from Colonel Fitzwilliam and his party, and sat down in their own box.

Looking at the entire performance hall, it was indeed full of seats as the staff said.Not long after they sat down, the opera began.The gentlemen and ladies sitting here, whether they were sincerely appreciating or arty, temporarily stopped whispering and moving their hands, and began to concentrate on enjoying the opera with breathless concentration.

Dido and Aeneas is worthy of being a beautiful and timeless opera, which conquered the hearts of many audiences present.It's a pity that he was destined to meet Waterloo with Mr. Darcy.Well, maybe add Mr. Bingley, who doesn't have opera in mind.

Never had Mr. Darcy felt himself more on pins and needles.Before the opera started, he could still use the binoculars to find his target. Unexpectedly, not long after he sat down, the opera began. The performance hall was completely dark except for a small piece of light on the stage, so he couldn’t do anything even if he wanted to. !In this way, even the most beautiful sounds of nature become annoying noises to the ears.

Mr. Bingley was in high spirits. Darcy's deflated situation was so rare!

Darcy: ...

Moreover, the stage performance of "Dido and Aeneas" is really good!Mr. Bingley, the two plays are so good, it's worth the trip!

After suffering so much, I finally waited until the end of the first act of the opera and the intermission.

Mr. Darcy could finally pick up the binoculars and look for the graceful figure.This time, with the help of bright lights, he successfully found the box where the Kester brothers and sisters and Caroline were.

Perhaps because of the distance, Mr. Darcy couldn't hear the conversation in the box, and couldn't see the specific situation in the box very clearly.I saw Mr. Kester pouring tea and showing great hospitality, while Caroline and Miss Kester sometimes pointed to the stage, and sometimes said something to Mr. Kester.After a while, I saw Mr. Kester said something, which made the two ladies laugh at the same time.

Mr. Darcy's face darkened instantly.

Here, Mr. Bingley saw that Mr. Darcy was watching with a telescope for a while and then put it down without saying a word. He couldn't help being curious, so he also took a telescope and looked around.

What Caroline then saw was Mr. Darcy with a dark face and her brother who was looking around.

It seemed that the two of them didn't like the master of the opera. They didn't care about the opera at all. It's really surprising what they came here for!

Not to mention how Mr. Darcy and Mr. Darcy have their own thoughts, how Mr. Kester behaved himself in front of the ladies, Colonel Fitzwilliam has many stories to tell.

Just like Miss Kester's gossip before, the internal strife of the Cavendish family has turned into a struggle with several in-law families, and it is likely to intensify.The mistress and illegitimate son of the Duke of Cavendish are hiding in Tibet. The forces of all parties are peaceful on the surface, but they are showing their magic in private.

Maybe God is still taking care of the poor mother and child, or is it the mother and daughter of the Cavendish family?The Cavendish family found them in the slums first.At this time, my mother died not long ago because of long-term worry and fear, and her life of fleeing and wandering.Perhaps "Yiren" was about to die, and Miss Cavendish's attitude eased a lot. After promising to recognize the child's ancestors and bring him up, the mother closed her eyes forever.

Miss Cavendish's illegitimate brother was still an ignorant child. He didn't even know that his mother had actually left him. He only felt that his mother had fallen asleep, but he couldn't wake him up.In addition, Miss Cavendish has the intention to show a little kindness to this younger brother, and it won't take long for the siblings to get acquainted, which is a later story.

After returning to Cavendish's house, Mrs. Cavendish hurriedly took the child through the Ming Road and rectified his name.In fact, Mrs. Cavendish didn't want to do this at all. There were jackals and tigers before, and the current situation couldn't help her.Anyway, she is just a child, Mrs. Cavendish comforted herself, there will be many places to rely on them in the future, and smart children will naturally know what to do.If something goes wrong in the future, isn't it easy to solve it? !

After this great change, Miss Cavendish can see clearly the coldness of the world and the indifference of people's hearts.When his father, the Duke of Cavendish, was alive, the Cavendish family was so beautiful, but now it has undergone such a drastic change. The ladies and courteous gentlemen who surrounded him in the past have all scattered, and Even my relatives (uncles and the like) began to speak ill of my mother and daughter, and even stared at the property of the Cavendish family.Miss Cavendish smiled wryly: I used to be so stupid and naive, and I really thought I was the girl of heaven after a few compliments, and I offended many people because of it.Little did they know that even the Phoenix would fall into the mud one day, and the current situation of the Cavendish family did not allow him to be self-willed anymore.

Right now, although she and her mother preemptively put the child under the mother's name and recognized the family, they barely have an official heir legally, but if others want to get to the bottom of it, it's not right to make a fuss about it impossible.In addition to the current orphans and widows of the Cavendish family, if they really want to spy on the property, there is no other way.It can be said that although the situation of the Cavendish family has eased, it is still dangerous.

That is to say, she was forced to a certain extent, and only then did Miss Cavendish wake up, and only then did she frequently attend various balls.The younger brother is still young, and she and her mother can't deter those who have ulterior motives for spying on the Cavendish family. She urgently needs someone to take over the business of the Cavendish family, temporarily take care of the property, and in times of crisis Gentleman who stood up.Of course, if this gentleman has a strong background, it would be great if he could become a powerful support for the Cavendish family!

It is a pity that a young lady who was once surrounded has to be in a situation where she has to move around at a ball!But this circle is like this, "the wall is falling and everyone pushes back", often the more depressing the situation you are in, the more people will make trouble, and there are very few people who are really willing to lend a helping hand.To Miss Cavendish, the presence of Colonel Fitzwilliam was a bit like a drowning man catching a piece of driftwood, not very strong, but always winning.
