[Comprehensive classics] Darcy or Brandon

When the people were almost gone, Edward invited Annie to take a walk nearby. Annie readily agreed, holding Edward's arm and walking slowly in the opposite direction to Eleanor and the others flying the kite.

Today's wind was a bit strong, and Anne's hair at the temples was blown loose. She pushed the strands of hair that flew onto her face behind her ears, and asked, "Mr. Ferrars, what do you want from me?"

Edward lowered his head and looked at the weeds under his feet. After hesitating for a moment, he asked in a low voice, "Anne, Marianne told me that you told Eleanor that you were the one I admired. Why did you say that?"

"Mr. Ferrars, you are such a bastard in human skin. What happened back then, but now you can talk and laugh with us. You must have completely forgotten what happened that night, right?" Annie said softly asked.

Annie suddenly broke the superficial calm, and Edward's expression turned very bad, "Is it because you still hate me that you said those words?"

"I don't hate you. The one who really hates you should be Lucy. Do you know how much what happened that night hurt a girl? She used to believe so much in the vows you made, so convinced that she even didn't hesitate to say goodbye to you before marriage." Breaking the precept, and what did you give her, you only gave her lies. These days, she can't see anything wrong on the surface, but she is actually sad all the time. After all, she hasn't forgotten you. But Mr. Ferrars, You have been with Miss Dasherwood in less than half a year, and you are still showing such intimacy in front of Lucy, you are really disgusting Mr. Ferrars."

Edward stopped in his tracks, clenched his fist, and said, "I'm sorry, I thought you would only hate me now. I didn't expect Lucy to still love me."

"Then find a way to make up for your guilt!" Annie walked up to Edward, looked at him and said with a smile.

"Make up?" Edward raised his head and looked at Anne puzzled.

"Lucy doesn't want to see you getting too close to Sister Dasherwood, so during your stay in Longbourne, I hope you can keep a certain distance from Miss Dasherwood."

"But me and Eleanor..." Edward said hesitantly.

"If you really love each other, I believe Miss Dasherwood will understand you, and you can explain it clearly to her after we leave Longbourne. Of course, I hope you can omit the past with Lucy." Anne Said easily.

"Okay then, the pocket watch..."

"As for the pocket watch, I will return it to you as I said before." As Anne said, Edward has gone bankrupt, and she won't feel at ease without any reason.

When Anne and Edward were talking, in order not to be heard by people who might be close to them, their voices were not very loud, so the two of them leaned closer. At this time, talking face to face, in the eyes of others, seemed like they were talking. Look at each other affectionately.Although Eleanor was flying the kite, she had been paying attention to Annie's situation. When she saw Annie and Edward getting so close, she couldn't help but pulled her hands into the kite string in her hand.Eleanor's kite wasn't very good at all, the kite line wobbled and fell down after being pulled, and entangled Lilian's kite.

Lilian called out quickly: "Eleanor, Eleanor! What are you in a daze for, please help untie the kite!"

Eleanor came back to her senses, and hurriedly circled Lillian twice: "Ah, I'm sorry, Miss Travers, I was thinking about something just now."

"What are you thinking?" Lilian looked suspiciously at the direction Eleanor was looking at just now, and said clearly: "Miss Dasherwood, are you worried about the relationship between Mr. Edward and Miss Steele?" what?"

"No, I was just thinking about my mother and little sister who stayed at home." Eleanor quickly argued.

Lilian smiled and did not continue this topic.Mrs. Jennings and Sir Middleton have never been tight-lipped people, so now the Travers family already knows about Edward, Sister Dasherwood and Sister Steele, so they will be so nervous about Eleanor She thought it was normal, and Eleanor must be very worried now that Edward would rekindle his old relationship with Anne.

After talking with Edward, Anne planned to go back to the picnic place. Just two steps away, she saw Mr. Darcy running out from behind a small bush on a horse. Mr. Darcy also saw them, and quickly drove the horse away. come over.

"Good morning, Miss Steele." Mr. Darcy jumped off his horse, saluted with a whip in his hand, then looked at Edward and asked, "Who is this gentleman?"

"Mr. Darcy, this is Mr. Fellers, he is also a guest of the Travers family." Anne introduced.

"Mr. Ferrars, nice to meet you." Mr. Darcy greeted Edward simply.

"Nice to meet you, too, Mr. Darcy." Edward quickly returned.

Mr. Darcy may not know Edward, but Edward knows Mr. Darcy.Mr. Darcy can be regarded as a character whose aristocratic rights are quite admired. It is not easy to manage a family alone at a young age. Edward himself admires him very much. To communicate with each other about the mood.

But Mr. Darcy didn't look at Edward much. He noticed that Anne was holding Edward's arm, and asked, "Miss Steele, are you walking with Mr. Ferrars?"

"Yes, but we're getting ready to go back."

"And shall I have the honor of asking you for a walk?" inquired Mr. Darcy, extending his arm.

Anne looked at him, smiled and took Mr. Darcy's arm, and said, "Of course, I'd be happy to take Mr. Darcy for a walk."

"Excuse me, Mr. Ferrars." Mr. Darcy nodded to Edward, then turned and took Anne to the grove where he had just come.

"What do you want me to do with you, Mr. Darcy?" asked Anne.

"This was my temporary idea." Mr. Darcy said, but he quickly changed his words and said, "Wait, Miss Steele, I really remembered something when you asked me that. Please teach me."

"It's about your sister again, isn't it? Mr. Darcy, I don't know if I told you last night, you are really a good brother who is rare in the world." Anne said.

"Georgianna is my only family member. Our grades are very different, so sometimes I take care of her as if I were my own daughter. Miss Steele, you are actually a very good sister." said Mr. Darcy, drawing a sheet of paper from his pocket.

"My relationship with Lucy is much more complicated. I can indeed say that I am a good sister, but definitely not the kind of good sister you think." Annie sighed.

Mr. Darcy did not understand what Anne meant, but this did not prevent him from asking this lady for help. He handed the letter paper in front of Anne and said, "Miss Steele, please read the third part of this letter. Let's go."

"Letter? Is it from Miss Darcy? I don't think it's quite right?" asked Anne, without reaching for the letter.

"It's not from Georgiana, it's from her housekeeper. I can't say what's in it," said Mr. Darcy, and handed the letter to Anne again.

Annie glanced at the letter that had been repeatedly folded in confusion, then took it and opened it to read the third paragraph above.

"...Mr. Darcy, Miss Darcy has officially grown into a mature woman last week. This is not what she told me, but after the maid found the clothes that had been simply washed in the bathroom. My business. The lady has not said this to me these days. During this period, I tried to talk to the lady several times, but the lady is extremely shy and does not trust me very much. She always avoids talking to me. So I can only order the maid to prepare the necessary things and books in private and give them to the lady. But I feel that the lady doesn't know what to do with it, and she doesn't seem to have read the books I gave her. The lady has never had much contact with the female elders of her close relatives since she was a child. , I should be very confused in this regard, so Mr. Darcy, I am very worried about the situation of the young lady. I think you'd better come back soon. You can bring a lady who can be trusted by the young lady to teach the young lady, or you can Write a letter to your aunt, Mrs. de Bowie, and ask her to teach Miss Darcy..."

After reading the contents of the letter, Anne blushed unconsciously. She immediately closed the letterhead and said to Mr. Darcy: "Mr. Darcy, why are you showing me this?"

Mr. Darcy, who had looked serious and serious just now, also blushed, up to his neck.He held the letter, stuffed it twice before stuffing it back into his pocket, and then said with a face full of embarrassment: "I don't have a good relationship with my aunt, so I can't tell her these things, and I can't There are no other ladies you can trust to ask to go home and help with Georgiana, so I want you to help me."

"Aren't Miss Bingley and Mrs. Hurst your good friends? Don't they deserve your trust?" Anne felt very strange. She should not be familiar with Mr. Darcy, and she had never met that Miss Darcy before. It was very strange that Mr. Darcy asked her to help.

"Because you know a lot of things that others don't," said Mr. Darcy, and handed Anne a small box from another pocket.

Annie took the box and opened it, and then she saw two very familiar handkerchiefs inside, one of which she had lost last winter.

"My handkerchief, oh, Mr. Darcy, you were the gentleman that day, so the lady is Miss Darcy!"

"Yes." Mr. Darcy nodded.

Annie looked at Mr. Darcy in surprise, carefully observed him from front to back, left and right, and tried hard to find the impression on him at that time.But Annie was not successful. Mr. Darcy was very decadent that day, and he was very different from his current appearance.

"I was expecting you to recognize me yesterday," said Mr. Darcy.

"Unexpectedly, you were so embarrassed at the time!"

"That was the most embarrassing time I've ever been!" Mr. Darcy laughed at himself, and then said: "After what happened last year, Georgiana always deliberately avoided some things. She always felt that she was enough. Big enough to love someone, but after the accident she began to refuse to grow up, she felt that it was a shame to become a mature woman. I enlightened her many times, I thought she was much better, but now it seems that I It's not enough. Only four people know about it, you, me, Georgiana, and that bastard. I can't talk about it, so I can't find anyone else to help me except you. Georgiana."

"But from your description of Miss Darcy's character, you probably wouldn't want someone who doesn't know you but knows about it?"

"So I intend to introduce you to her only as a trustworthy friend, and I beg you to help me, Miss Steele." Mr. Darcy asked sincerely, and bowed to Annie.

Mr. Darcy's behavior is too impolite, and such a request is a bit difficult, but Anne knows that this gentleman should have no other choice.Miss Darcy is very sensitive and lacks a sense of security. People with such a mentality are prone to some mental illnesses. Elopement is an extremely shameful and defamatory thing in this era. After Miss Darcy eloped and was cheated, she must No, it is estimated that there are some mental illnesses, and it will be very bad if it is not properly explained.

"Well, I don't know if it will work or not. I can try it." Anne said, knowing other people's secrets has to pay some price, who let her listen to Mr. Darcy's secrets!
