[Comprehensive classics] Darcy or Brandon

Darcy looked a little nervous, his hands turned the brim of his hat from time to time, and after a few minutes he asked again: "So if you find out that your sister has a completely wrong relationship, she fell in love with a jerk?" , and you know the truth, what would you do?"

"Undoubtedly break them up." Annie gave the answer without hesitation.

"But, aren't you afraid that you will hurt your sister?" Darcy has been struggling with this matter now. He thinks that it is impossible for Anne to encounter the same experience as him, but he still wants to ask Anne seeks an answer.

Annie frowned, grabbed a few branches, broke them and threw them into the fire, and said, "Sir, you are asking the right person, because not long ago I separated my sister and her bastard lover. Of course, this is nothing to brag about, but since the two of us don't recognize each other, and you haven't seen my face clearly, then I'll tell you."

She pursed her lips: "I beat that bastard hard, and then severely reprimanded my sister. She was indeed hurt. After all, it was her first love after thousands of choices. I swear to God that she is now She must still hate me. But so what, if it makes her feel more comfortable, then hate me, at least I know that I did the right thing, and my heart will be very comfortable. Anyway In order to protect her from this little harm, let that bastard do something irreparable to her, then both I and she will regret it very much. And how long can she hate me, when she finds a real lover and gets happiness Then she will spend the rest of her life thanking me."

Hearing Annie's words, Darcy seemed to feel less pain in his heart. He put down the hat in his hand and said, "Miss, you are very thoughtful. I have never thought about it like this before, but I think what you said is very correct. It is indeed worthwhile to exchange a little injury that can be recovered with time in exchange for a lifetime of happiness."

The heavy snow fell for a long time, and it didn't stop until the evening. As soon as the snow stopped, Annie left the cave in a hurry. She had been outside for so long, and she didn't know what Lucy would be worried about.

Lucy was really worried. As soon as the snow started to fall, she put on her cloak and prepared to go out to pick Annie up, but the snow was too big, and there were bean-sized raindrops. Annie was wearing their home clothes when she went out. The only cloak that can keep out the rain, Lucy had to stay at home and wait.Lucy sat in the living room by the window where she could see the small door to the backyard all afternoon, planning to go out to find Anne when the snow was a little lighter, but the snow kept falling very hard until the evening when it was almost dark. down.

When Annie walked halfway, she saw Lucy stumbling over with an oil lamp, and quickly shouted: "Lucy, watch your feet, be careful not to fall."

"Annie!" When Lucy saw Annie, the tears that had been rolling in her eyes finally couldn't hold back. She didn't even look at her feet, rushed over and hugged Annie and cried, "Annie, it's really great that you're okay." Well, I'm worried to death."

"Why are you crying, don't worry, let's go back quickly, the road is covered by snow, it's hard to go after dark." Annie patted Lucy on the back comfortingly.

Lucy wiped away her tears, sniffed her nose and nodded, probably feeling a little embarrassed about crying over this matter, and whispered: "I made ginger tea, you must drink more when you go back."

"I thought you would help me cook a pot of hot soup!" Annie said jokingly scratching the tip of Lucy's nose.

Lucy was even more embarrassed, lowered her head and shook Annie's arm, and said coquettishly, "Sister, you just know how to tease me."

That was definitely not a joke, Anne was telling the truth. In the morning, she thought about having a big meal in the evening, so she just ate some cold bread left over from yesterday for breakfast, and by noon, she was so hungry that her chest was on her back At that time, she thought that it would be great if she had a pot of hot soup to drink, but unfortunately, after staying in the cave for a long time, she only drank the cold wind.

The snow on the road was already half as high as the calf, and it took the two sisters twice as long as usual to get home.As soon as she opened the door, Anne felt a heat flow enveloping her body. While taking off her wet cloak and cold coat, she ran to the fireplace to take a comfortable breath of warm air.

There was a teapot hanging in the fireplace, and the ginger-tea-flavored heat gushed out one after another. Lucy took the teapot down by hugging the handle of the teapot with a cloth, poured a cup of hot ginger tea and handed it to Anne, "Drink some, It's bitterly cold outside."

Anne wrapped the big wool blanket on the rocking chair by the fireplace around her body. The blanket warmed by the fire made her whole body feel comfortable. She took a sip of the ginger tea and said: "This is already very good. When I was in the cave just now, the wind was so cold that my whole body would be blown into a sculpture."

"What cave, didn't Annibe stay at Mr. Robert's farm?" Lucy asked, sitting on the carpet.

"No, I had already left Mr. Robert's farm for a long way when it snowed, and I hid in that small cave over the rock pile." Anne said, wrapped her blanket tightly and sat beside Lucy .

Hader saw it and squeezed into the middle of the two of them, not forgetting to hold the kitten's litter in front of him.In this way, the nest was very close to the fireplace, and it must have been scalded by the fire. The four huddled little cats raised their heads and screamed loudly.Hade was disturbed, he flicked his ears and licked it with his tongue, the four kittens were covered in its saliva, and they couldn't care less about barking, they all rolled around in the nest uncomfortably.

Annie smiled and pulled the cushion nest a little farther away, touched the white fluffy belly of a kitten with her index finger, and said to Lucy: "Hurry up and bring the bucket, these four little things haven't eaten at noon Get something, pour some milk out and warm it up to feed them."

Lucy hurriedly went to the kitchen and brought an iron bucket and a small iron jug, smashed the milk with a thin layer of ice in the bucket with a spoon, scooped out a small spoonful, poured it into the milk jug, and poured the milk into the milk jug. The kettle was put on the grate and warmed up.

"I fed a little sugar water at noon, there should be no problem."

"The kitten's stomach is weak. I don't know if the kitten will have diarrhea after eating sugar water." Annie was a little worried. Even milk, she felt that the kitten might not be able to drink it. They are still so small, and the four together are not as good as mice in the wild. Come big.

A small spoonful of milk boiled quickly. Lucy poured the milk into a palm-sized saucer, then found a small spoon, and fed it to the four little milk cats eat.

In the cave, Darcy extinguished the bonfire, tied up the shotgun and was about to leave. Out of the corner of his eye when he got on the horse, he saw that the little snowman on the rock by the bonfire had completely melted, leaving only one snowman wet with snow water. The sky blue handkerchief and a small straw hat.

Darcy jumped down from his horse, walked over to picked up the handkerchief, wrung out the water, spread it out, and looked at it. In the center of the blue muslin handkerchief was embroidered a standing figure in a way Darcy had never seen before. The little yellow warbler singing on the branch has three strange patterns embroidered with black silk thread on the side.If Darcy knew Chinese, he would know that those three strange patterns were actually three Chinese characters, which were Annie's name in her previous life.

After admiring the beautiful little yellow warbler, Darcy folded his handkerchief neatly and put it on a large dry rock beside him, pressing the stone to prevent it from being afraid of the wind, and then got on the horse.But after taking a few steps, Darcy jumped off the horse again. He remembered that when Anne chatted with him before, she said that the children from the villages near this cave would come to play. If they entered the cave before Annie came back to look for the handkerchief , It’s not good to take the handkerchief and give it to others.So Darcy hesitated, and at last put the handkerchief into his pocket.

The Yale Manor where Darcy lived was not very far from here. He rode a horse and galloped quickly in the snow, and arrived in less than half an hour.

Seeing Darcy's return, the housekeeper in the manor happily ran over and pulled the rein, "Sir, you are back. Miss is in a hurry. She didn't even eat a few bites of lunch, and she cried a while ago."

Darcy took off his boots and put on dry shoes, and asked the housekeeper who helped him take off his coat, "Is she in the living room?"

"Miss said she was feeling unwell after afternoon tea, so Rose advised her to go back to her room to rest," said the housekeeper.

"Help me prepare the bath water, and I'll change into dry clothes before going to see her." Darcy said.

When the butler handed Darcy's coat to the maid to dry, he saw a blue handkerchief protruding from his pocket, took it out, opened it, looked at it and asked: "Sir, is this handkerchief Miss? I remember Monsieur is wearing a silver handkerchief when he goes out today."

Darcy thought that the butler had been staying in Ramsgate, and he should be very aware that there were no parents or sisters around here, so he wanted to inquire about it and asked his servants to send him a handkerchief.But in a flash, Darcy thought that the two of them said so many things that were not in line with etiquette. It would be very embarrassing if they knew each other's identities. After thinking about it, he decided to keep it as a secret.

"It's not Georgiana's. Ask the maid to wash and dry it later and give it to me."

The butler stared at the handkerchief for a moment. This handkerchief seemed to be used by ladies. If it wasn’t Miss Georgiana’s, it must belong to a lady in a nearby village. But there are several nearby villages that are worthy of it Mr. Darcy's Miss Butler racked his brains and couldn't think of one.
