[Comprehensive classics] Darcy or Brandon

"Fitzwilliam, your behavior in the town just now was really rude. I thought you would stay for a while for the sake of the second lady of the Bennet family!" Mr. Bingley walked to Mr. Darcy's side Said to him.

Mr. Darcy calmed down all afternoon, his face turned dark again when he finally got better, he snorted coldly and didn't speak.

Miss Bingley walked into the room, sat opposite Mr. Darcy, and said, "Charles, that's not right. That Miss Elizabeth is nothing but a country girl, but that Miss Bennet is really nice."

As soon as Jane was mentioned, Mr. Bingley laughed silly, "Yeah, Jane is really cute."

"I think it would be better if she could smile sincerely. Miss Jane is good at everything, but she is always too restrained when she smiles. No one can tell if she is forced to smile." Mrs. Horstow sat Going to Miss Bingley's side, he said as if talking to himself.

Mr. Bingley's smile decreased a lot immediately, which was exactly what he had been worried about. Every time Jane would not refuse his approach, but every time she showed special restraint.When they are together, Mr. Bingley always finds the topic. Jane seems to be only responsible for nodding and a reserved smile, just like today when he saw her on the street, Jane didn't even want to go to his horse and talk to him A few words, this always makes Mr. Bingley feel that Jane doesn't actually love him, and only because he is a suitable marriage partner, he will deal with him perfunctorily.

Seeing Mr. Bingley's expression, Mrs. Hostow and Miss Bingley quickly exchanged a smug look.Mrs. Hostal picked up the teacup and took a sip of coffee, then said quietly again: "You have been away for the past two days, so you probably don't know that something interesting happened to the Bennet family. The pastor from the wife's parish came to propose to Miss Elizabeth, but the lady was too high-sighted to look down on her, and she didn't care about the family's inheritance at all, so she refused mercilessly. It is said that Mrs. Bennet was older There was a lot of noise, and people saw all the jokes."

"There is something even more ridiculous!" Miss Bingley continued: "Mr. Darcy, guess what, that Mr. Collins was rejected, and in a moment of anger he proposed to Miss Elizabeth's friend Miss Charlotte Lucas." And the lady agreed, and she will be married in a few days. Mr. Darcy, don't you think it's funny?"

"I think that Miss Lucas is a good match for Mr. Collins, both of whom are very clever," said Mr. Darcy.

"Mr. Darcy, you really didn't say that because you thought Mr. Collins was not good enough for Miss Elizabeth?" Miss Bingley said jokingly.

Mr. Darcy glanced at her, and said, "Miss Elizabeth deserves better sirs indeed."

"Oh, it's their house." Miss Bingley sneered.

Mr. Darcy ignored her, and Miss Bingley turned her head away gasping for breath, but soon she couldn't help turning her head again to look at Mr. Darcy.It was very obvious that Miss Bingley liked Mr. Darcy. Everyone present, including Mr. Darcy himself, knew about it, but he really had no idea about Miss Bingley. If he wasn't very good friends with Mr. Bingley, he would definitely No contact with Miss Bingley.

Mr. Horstow is an alcoholic who drinks a lot of wine every day. He is lying on the sofa and dozing off too soundly. He suddenly turned over and fell off the sofa. Stopping himself, instinctively he reached out and grabbed the side, just in time to grab the tablecloth on the coffee table.

The tablecloth on the coffee table was pulled violently, and all the cups on it were overturned, and the coffee cup in front of Mr. Darcy was also turned upside down, and all the coffee in it was spilled out, some of which splashed on Mr. Darcy's face. on the pants.

Mr. Darcy frowned, and hurriedly took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped it a few times, only to realize that he had taken the wrong handkerchief after wiping.Mr. Darcy's annoyed expression flashed, and he wanted to put the handkerchief back into his pocket, but he paused when he thought that the handkerchief was dirty.

Miss Bingley saw sharply that the handkerchief was not the ones Mr. Darcy usually used, and there were embroidery on the handkerchief, which was obviously for ladies.Immediately, a bad premonition welled up in Miss Bingley's heart. She stared at the handkerchief and asked, "Mr. Darcy, is this handkerchief in your hand embroidered by Miss Darcy for you? It is embroidered with magpies." Can you please show me."

Mr. Darcy glanced at the lovely magpie embroidered on the corner of the handkerchief, and instead of showing it to Miss Bingley, he smiled strangely and said, "Yes, Georgiana embroidered it for me."

Miss Bingley breathed a sigh of relief, and was not angry because Mr. Darcy didn't hand her the handkerchief. Miss Bingley knew that Mr. Darcy cared about his sister very much. He must cherish what Georgiana gave him and didn't want to give it to others. It is only natural to look at it.

"Georgiana's embroiderer is getting better and better. She can play the piano well and draw well. She is good at all the skills that a lady should have. If any gentleman marries her in the future, she will definitely I feel very happy." Mrs. Hurst said on the sidelines, but looked at Mr. Bingley.

Miss Bingley and Mrs. Hostow wholeheartedly hope that Mr. Bingley can marry Miss Darcy, which will also facilitate the relationship between Miss Bingley and Mr. Darcy. They think Miss Darcy is a million times better than Miss Bennet, but it is a pity that Mr. Bingley Just not enlightened.

Mr. Bingley squinted his eyes and smiled, said that he wanted to go upstairs to rest and left quietly. He also understood what his two sisters were thinking, but Miss Darcy was too young for him. Miss Darcy was a little sister to him.Moreover, Mr. Bingley also knew that even if he had feelings for Miss Darcy, Mr. Darcy would not agree to marry Miss Darcy. In the situation of their family, his elder sister and brother-in-law pestered him like blood sucking bugs, while his younger sister was good at calculating. She tried her best to get the dowry. If she married well in the future, it would be fine. If she married her sister similarly, she would probably be a blood-sucking worm. Mr. Darcy would be relieved.

As soon as Mr. Bingley left, Mr. Darcy quickly found an excuse to go upstairs.After returning to the room, Mr. Darcy lay down on the bed. He took out the handkerchief and spread it out for a look. In fact, this handkerchief was not given to him by Georgiana, but left by the lady he met in the cave last winter. of.

At that time, the young lady left in a hurry. When Mr. Darcy got on his horse and was about to leave, she saw the half-melted little snowman on the big rock by the campfire, and the little snowman made of the handkerchief. The cloak has been completely soaked in snow water.Mr. Darcy hurriedly took the handkerchief and chased it out, but the lady had long since disappeared. Mr. Darcy took the handkerchief with him, intending to send it back himself after finding the lady.But he had been in Ramsgate for a week without finding the lady, and so he kept the handkerchief with him.

Mr. Darcy looked at the little magpie embroidered on the handkerchief. There were three strange little patterns under the magpie's feet. Mr. Darcy had seen similar patterns before. They were characters from the East.Mr. Darcy guessed that the three characters should be the name of the owner of the handkerchief, but he could not understand which three characters they were.

Clutching the handkerchief, Mr. Darcy thought of the young lady he saw in the town just now. Those bright eyes really made him feel familiar.The lady in the cave that day also had such eyes, which were especially beautiful under the light of the fire.Mr. Darcy had never seen a lady like that, who would beat those wretched men in order to protect his sister, and seemed to have a whole set of different theories, and that set of theories did comfort him.

But is the lady I saw today really the one in the cave at that time?That lady was wearing a scarf all the time that day, and Mr. Darcy didn't see her face clearly, but in Mr. Darcy's fantasy, the lady should have a beautiful and pleasing face, but the one I saw today The young lady looked so ordinary, completely different from what he had imagined.

Colonel Forsto of the Militia in Meryton, under the persuasion of his new wife, agreed to hold a dance in the militia, but the quarters of the militia were a bit too crude, and he couldn't afford to rent the large ballroom in the town hall, so So I borrowed the house of a family named Philip next to the militia to hold this dance.

Philip's family are very kind people. They were very honored that Colonel Fausto was willing to borrow their house, and they took the initiative to undertake the responsibility for the decoration. In this way, the militia only need to bear the expenses of food and band, so that Colonel Stowe was overjoyed, and made all the preparations in two days.

Anne was very surprised when she received Wickham's ball invitation. She thought that Wickham was just talking casually when he said that he would invite her. Unexpectedly, Wickham actually found Titmouse Villa to send invitations.This is very strange, because if Mr. Wickham is indeed the scumbag in the book, then he is definitely not the kind of person who will go to great lengths to please a poor and unattractive lady like Anne.

Anne wanted to refuse, but Wickham also invited Lucy at the same time, and Lucy seemed very interested in this ball, she was still a young lady after all, so bless these soldiers in red uniforms Some fantasies and good feelings, so Anne had no choice but to agree to the invitation to the dance.

At the same time, the Bennet family and Netherfield Garden also received invitations to the ball from the militia. The Bennet family was naturally overjoyed, but the owners of the Netherfield Garden were not very interested in this ball.Especially Mr. Darcy, after he knew that Wickham had also joined the militia, his impression of the militia became completely negative.
