[Comprehensive classics] Darcy or Brandon

Everyone quickly resumed their own entertainment, and the music was played again in the ballroom. The gentlemen and ladies who were about to dance before quickly returned to their original positions, and spun around arm in arm.

Lucy stood on Annie's left. She saw the maids walking upstairs along the edge of the room with the things needed to take care of the patients. She couldn't help curling her lips and said with hypocritical sympathy: "Miss Marianne is so pitiful. How sad it must be to watch my lover get engaged to someone else!"

"Lucy!" Annie winked at her, telling her to speak softly.Although the music was very loud, Lucy's voice was not lowered at all. Everyone stood so close that it was easy to be heard.

Lucy stuck out her tongue, closed her mouth obediently, and happily threw herself into the joy of dancing with Robert.

The dance was over soon, and since Anne still needed to dance with the two gentlemen, she planned to find a seat nearby to sit down so that she could rest and recover her strength.Mr. Darcy knew that Anne didn't like to dance continuously. Seeing that she was tired, he offered to bring some drinks for Anne. Naturally, Anne would not refuse Mr. Darcy's considerate gesture, and accepted his kindness happily.

But when Anne sat down on the stool in a comfortable and elegant posture, and raised her head to look in Mr. Darcy's direction, she saw Mr. Darcy standing with Elizabeth at some point.Since they were standing far away in a corner, and the room was crowded with people, Annie couldn't see the expressions on their faces clearly, but she could clearly see that they were standing very close together, I don't know what they are whispering, the two of them are almost face to face.

Ever since Willoughby's true face was exposed, Elizabeth's feelings towards Mr. Darcy have improved a lot. Originally, when she came to London this time, Elizabeth thought that if she happened to meet Mr. Darcy, she would have to say goodbye to him for her previous unfriendly attitude. sorry.But after Mr. Bingley and Jane broke up, Elizabeth hated Mr. Darcy again.

When the Bingley family left Longbourn, Miss Bingley wrote a letter to Jane, which clearly stated that Mr. Bingley left Longbourne because of the instigation of Mr. Darcy and their sisters, so now Elizabeth is sure that Mr. The formal breakup with Jane was also instigated by Mr. Darcy. After all, when they visited Bingley's house that day, Mr. Bingley's attitude towards Jane clearly showed that he still loved Jane, but when Mr. Darcy arrived , Mr. Bingley's performance became indifferent.

Elizabeth has always been angry about this. Seeing Mr. Darcy also came to the ball today, she made up her mind to find an opportunity to reason with Mr. Darcy.Just now when she saw Mr. Darcy going to the corner to get a drink, she thought it was a good opportunity, so she walked over.

So Annie saw the two talking, but in fact, the two were just fighting against Maimang.As for why the two of them stood so close, it was because both of them knew how embarrassing it would be to be found arguing on such an occasion, so they could only speak in a low voice.But the ballroom was full of noise, and they might not be able to hear clearly when speaking normally, let alone talking with their voices lowered, so the two had to stand closer to each other.

But Annie didn't know the reason for this, she just felt very uncomfortable seeing such a scene.A moment ago, Mr. Darcy said he would serve her a drink, but now he saw his sweetheart, he didn't care about anything. They were so close, Annie felt her eyes were sore, and the tears in her eyes took a long time Hold back.

After chatting with his friends, Mr. Bull saw Anne sitting alone at the other end of the ballroom, but Mr. Darcy was talking to another lady from a distance, so he walked across the ballroom and asked Anne. Said: "Miss Steele, why are you sitting here alone?"

When Annie heard Mr. Bull's voice, she immediately wiped her eyes without any trace, "I'll take a rest here."

"Then you wouldn't mind talking to me before the dance?"

"Of course." Anne nodded, just in time to see Mr. Darcy approaching with two glasses of wine. She felt sore and turned her head as if she hadn't seen it. After thinking about it and feeling angry, she simply stood up and said to Bull The gentleman said: "Mr. Bull, let's go to another place to sit. There are too many people here, and I feel a little stuffy."

"Okay, let's go and sit by the window." Mr. Bull also saw Mr. Darcy and saw him walking straight up. In order to prevent Mr. Darcy from disturbing his conversation with Anne, he immediately stood up and walked away with Anne. .

Mr. Darcy looked at the two leaving with a puzzled expression on his face. He and Anne had promised to have a glass of wine together just a moment ago, but now Annie followed other men as if she hadn't seen him.Mr. Darcy's face was dark with anger and jealousy.

Georgiana has been paying attention to the situation here. At the beginning, seeing Mr. Darcy serving wine, Georgiana felt very relieved, thinking that her brother was finally willing to take the initiative.But before she had time to applaud Mr. Darcy in her heart, she saw Mr. Darcy chatting enthusiastically with a lady she didn't know, and suddenly there was a gentleman she didn't know beside Anne, and she even Follow that gentleman and leave!

Seeing Mr. Darcy's bad face, Georgiana hesitated and walked over, asking: "Brother, have you quarreled with Anne?"

"No!" Mr. Darcy drank a glass of wine with a dark face.

"But I think Anne seems to be angry." Georgiana said cautiously.She knew that Anne was by no means the kind of lady who would lose her temper suddenly. There must be a reason for her appearance, and Georgiana felt that the reason seemed to be related to the lady who had just talked to Mr. Darcy.

"Why angry?" asked Mr. Darcy, finishing his other glass.

Georgiana shrank her neck, not daring to tell Mr. Darcy about her guess. She took a look at Mr. Darcy's face, and walked away quietly.

That night, Anne didn't get close to Mr. Darcy again, and on the way back, she was too busy talking to Lucy and Georgiana, and she didn't mean to talk to Mr. Darcy at all, which made Mr. Darcy unable to vent his anger, and was depressed all the way. sharp,

After returning home, Annie went straight back to her room, lay on the bed and covered her head with a quilt and cried loudly. She had been holding back the tears all night, and now she could finally vent.

"Annie, what's the matter with you, can I come in?" Lucy knocked on the door. She had a very happy night. When she came back, she ignored Anne's mood changes. Georgiana told her just now After a while, she felt something was wrong.

Annie poked her head out from under the quilt, sniffed and said to the door, "I'm a little tired tonight, and I've already fallen asleep. You should go back to the room quickly, and we'll talk tomorrow if you have anything to say."

"Anne, what happened? Georgiana told me that you seem to be angry. Did Mr. Darcy make you angry? You can tell me, don't be bored alone." Lucy stood in the corridor Knocking on the door again, she felt a little guilty in her heart. Annie had always taken care of her and cared about her, so much so that she got used to Annie and neglected to take the initiative to care for her.

"It's okay, I'm just too tired. I'm going to bed, Lucy, go back to your room quickly, you danced all night today, go to rest quickly, or you won't be able to get up tomorrow." Annie wiped her face Tears said.

"Then I'll go back, Anne, you can come to me anytime tonight." Lucy was a little dejected, and went back to her room after speaking.

Hearing the door close in the next room, Annie covered her head with the quilt, and continued to cry aggrievedly. She couldn't blame Mr. Darcy for being too kind to her, but she could only blame herself for being too self-indulgent. who belonged to her. .
