[Pride and Prejudice] The leisurely life of Miss Bentley

Colonel Fitzwilliam naturally had his considerations for coming forward when Miss Cavendish was treated coldly by everyone.It can be said that in the Fitzwilliam family, the situation of Colonel Fitzwilliam is also quite embarrassing: as the youngest son of the Duke of Fitzwilliam, Colonel Fitzwilliam has no inheritance rights, which means that the title and the family property are not related to him. All he could get was a small fortune from his mother and possibly a gift from his brother, Mr. Fitzwilliam.Therefore, if Colonel Fitzwilliam wants to live a life of fresh clothes and angry horses after his father has lived for a hundred years, either his elder brother, Mr. Fitzwilliam, is extremely generous and cares about brotherhood, or he can marry a young lady with a large dowry , or Colonel Fitzwilliam himself could do something.

It was precisely because he understood his own situation that Colonel Fitzwilliam joined the army early and got the post of colonel in it.But based on his personal efforts alone, there is still a long way to go before he can live a life like his father, Earl Fitzwilliam.Brother's gift or something, even if it is siblings, there are times when the same root is at stake, and when it comes to property issues, it is hard to say what will change in the future.From this point of view, marrying a wife, especially a wealthy wife has become the fastest and most trouble-free way.

And as her mother's beloved son, it is impossible for Duchess Fitzwilliam not to plan for her son's future.This time, Colonel Fitzwilliam returned from the army in a hurry, and stood up to pursue Miss Cavendish, without the instigation of Duchess Fitzwilliam.

The Duke of Cavendish galloped all his life and left a rich family property to his wife and daughter.Now that the Cavendish family is in danger, it is even more likely to win the heart of a beautiful woman by stepping forward at this time.If you can marry this young lady, then you won't have to worry about your future life. As for solving the mess left by the old duke, Colonel Fitzwilliam didn't even think about embezzling the Cavendish family's property. Since Shi Junzhilu will also solve these crises.As for Miss Cavendish, regardless of Colonel Fitzwilliam's "rescue the beauty from adversity" or ulterior motives, after all, there is such a gentleman who is willing to deal with the mess of the Cavendish family. Although his youngest son was born a little lower, it was useless no matter how high the family was and he was unwilling to take over the Cavendish family.

The two parties don't say they fully understand each other's thoughts, but they also know a little bit, so they each have plans, each takes what they need, and each is at peace with each other, and everyone is happy.

Dido and Aeneas came to an end with warm applause from the audience.

As soon as Caroline and the Kester brothers and sisters walked out of the recital hall, they saw Mr. Darcy and Mr. Bingley waiting at the side.

Originally, Mr. Kester strongly recommended that the two ladies go for a walk together in Holland Park not far away, and then the Kester family's carriage would take Caroline back to Grovener Street.Compared with other parks in London, Holland Park is small and exquisite, and there are many styles to choose from, which is very romantic.

Caroline was quite moved after listening to Mr. Kester's hard-working introduction, but she had to give up because Mr. Darcy and Mr. Bingley were already waiting outside.

Mr. Kester looked very sorry, but took Caroline's farewell with great grace.Miss Kester also invited Caroline to go out together next time she had the opportunity.

Not far away, Mr. Darcy and Mr. Bingley could clearly see the interaction of the three.Mr. Bingley, in good theater tradition, left them alone.Mr. Darcy's face is still dark and he is very calm, but careful people may notice his tightly clenched fists and pale fingers.

There is a long distance from the Royal Opera House back to Grovener Street.

Caroline looked at Mr. Darcy who was sitting on one side like an old monk in meditation, and looked at her brother who was smiling at her on the other side, and asked them why they came to the Royal Opera House, and felt that her family My brother was sure to make trouble again, and although Mr. Darcy looked calm, but the surrounding air was so cold, he had no choice but to hesitate to speak.

It's not that Mr. Darcy didn't feel Caroline's inquiring eyes, but he was trying his best to suppress the turbulence in his heart with his calm appearance.

Earlier in the intermission, Mr. Darcy saw the conversation and laughter between the Kester brothers and sisters and Caroline from a distance, and Mr. Darcy felt that the uncomfortable feeling he had had at the ball before had returned, wave after wave. , almost drowning and suffocating people.

Mr. Darcy couldn't help squinting his eyes, hiding a little bit of forbearance in his eyes, entanglement... maybe a little longing.

Recalling the scene where the three of them interacted just now, Mr. Darcy found it extremely dazzling.He actually had an urge to wipe away the obtrusive smile on Mr. Kester's face and separate Miss Caroline from the two, and maybe there was also a desire to why it wasn't me who was standing beside her at the moment ...

Such tangled and complicated emotions came surging like a tide, which caught people off guard.

Mr. Darcy closed his eyes, maybe it's time to let the culprit know that he was like a floating boat on the water?

Now that I've fallen into the vortex, how can I keep you out of it, as if you didn't notice it...

Maybe God also thinks that the feelings that go through the mill can be more meaningful.

Caroline, Mr. Darcy, and Mr. Bingley entered the house on Grovener Street, and just greeted Mr. and Mrs. Hurst, a letter came from outside the porter, specifying that Mr. Darcy should open it.

Mr. Darcy, not knowing, took the letter and glanced over it quickly.

The further down he looked, the more Mr. Darcy frowned.It turned out that the letter was from Mrs. Catherine de Bourgh, Mrs. Darcy's aunt, at Rosings Manor.The letter questioned Darcy about Colonel Fitzwilliam's pursuit of Miss Cavendish recently, and asked Mr. Darcy to go to Rosings immediately.

From a rational point of view, when the elders ask, even if they don't understand why, they must first explain something; even if the elders ask, even if they are unwilling, they should be obeyed.Mr. Darcy's plan for a showdown was interrupted by an unexpected letter before it could take shape.

Mr. Darcy glanced briefly at Caroline, said goodbye to the Bingleys and the Hursts hurriedly, and had to go to Rosings first.

Caroline saw off Mr. Darcy in this compartment, and finally freed herself to ask Mr. Bingley's previous question.

Mr. Bingley, however, was either evasive or vague, which bored Caroline.The Hursts also knew it well, and they both chose to play dumb with a tacit understanding.In their opinion, rather than puncturing the window paper in such a big way, it is better to let Mr. Darcy work harder and let Caroline understand it by herself.If you want to pierce the window paper, you have to let the person involved do it.Caroline could not help but ask Mr. Darcy.

Besides, isn't that the fun of watching a play?

Caroline couldn't figure out why, so she simply gave up asking.Don't these unkind people just guess that I can't meet Mr. Darcy face to face?You can't let them watch a good show, so just don't ask.

After spending a few days like this, an uninvited guest came to Grovener Street.

Caroline and Mrs. Hurst were walking in the little garden when Miss Cavendish came.Caroline was very surprised when she heard the news of Miss Cavendish's visit. It is reasonable to say that the lady had a problem with her before, but it has long since disappeared, and now she has nothing to do with her.

But the door is a guest, Caroline ordered the servant to lead Miss Cavendish to the small living room to sit for a while, and said to Mrs. Hurst:

"Sister Luisa, I don't know what the intentions of this young lady came to the door? After all, the previous past was really unpleasant..."

"Caroline, just wait and see. I think this lady may have come to make peace. The matter of the Cavendish family is not a secret now."

……

After chatting with Mrs. Hurst in this way, Caroline headed towards the small living room.

Today, Miss Cavendish looked much better than when she was seen at the ball.Compared with the college days, this young lady is also very modest and considerate in dealing with others, which makes Caroline amazed in her heart.

The two ladies started chatting about the good and bad weather, and chatted loosely about many topics such as places to enjoy the scenery around London, current fashion and so on.Since Miss Cavendish wanted to practice Tai Chi, Caroline held her composure and walked around with her slowly.

In fact, Miss Cavendish really has her own plan for visiting Grovener Street this time.

First of all, it is natural to come to hand an olive branch to Caroline. The current situation of the Cavendish family can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye. If there is one less enemy, there will be one less. Naturally, some past festivals must be dealt with.

Second, it concerns Colonel Fitzwilliam.Now in the whole circle, the affairs between Colonel Fitzwilliam and himself are almost known to everyone, and the relationship between Colonel Fitzwilliam and Mr. Darcy, a friend of the Bingley family, can be found out by anyone who is interested.In this way, Miss Cavendish doesn't mind building a good relationship with Caroline first. Even if something happens in the future, it would not be a bad thing to have one more friend.

Again, because of Colonel Fitzwilliam.After leaving the Royal Opera House, the sensitive and careful Miss Cavendish noticed that Colonel Fitzwilliam occasionally mentioned a slight difference in the lady when he was talking about Mr. Darcy.Maybe it's based on a woman's sixth sense. Although Miss Cavendish doesn't understand the allusion, she can guess what's going on.This visit is also to take this opportunity to see Caroline's attitude. If she thinks too much, it's nothing. If there is something, Miss Cavendish can think of a countermeasure as soon as possible.

It can be said to be a success in one fell swoop, can Miss Cavendish's exquisite heart meet Caroline, can she really get her wish?
