Dear Mr. Darcy [Pride and Prejudice]

"How are you, Fitzwilliam?" Mr. Bingley had been waiting downstairs for a long time.

Mr. Darcy handed the whip to the servant, and his face was not very good-looking. "Uncle wants me to claim ignorance and immediately go to court and sue Philip for fraud." Mr. Darcy would have made the choice if the general manager of the voyage hadn't been Philip, the old agent's son, because that's what it is .Philip offered Mr. Darcy to take over his father's business - wholesale tea in India and ship it to America for sugar and tobacco.But this ambitious young man did not know who listened to the instigation, and carried a musket in the tea. The profit of selling weapons during the war was very high.

"Oh." Mr. Bingley looked at Mr. Darcy sympathetically. "Your uncle also makes sense in doing so. The price of saving Philip is too high. After all, he was caught in the deal with the French army."

Mr. Darcy rubbed his forehead. "Once I do this, Philip, who is proven to be worthless, is likely to be executed. Philip knew nothing about it. He landed in the southwest of North America, sold tea all the way, traveled from the interior to Quebec, and ran to the firefighting point by mistake. They were surrounded by the French army. They were almost captured by our army while speaking English with muskets, and our army happened to see them when they handed over their weapons."

Mr. Bingley didn't know how to evaluate it.Unfortunately, Philip crossed the North American continent and arrived in Quebec unprepared. After handing over their weapons, they were likely to be killed by the French army or captured as prisoners, and the British army happened to arrive; Fortunately, Philip happened to be caught by the British army when he handed over his weapons to the French army. "The military should know something about it, otherwise they wouldn't let you pay the fine, but would directly execute Philip and his party."

Mr. Darcy looked icy. "But the facts don't matter to them."

Mr. Bingley was very distressed for Mr. Darcy.He knew that Mr. Carter was the agent left to him by Darcy's father. He helped the young and inexperienced Mr. Darcy a lot when the old Mr. Darcy had just passed away. Philip was Mr. Carter's son. He is also very innocent, and it is impossible for Darcy to allow him to be executed. "You know, Fitzwilliam, I can't help you with the military. But if you want to pay the fine, I can lend it to you."

Mr. Darcy's tense expression softened a little. At this time, his friend's support calmed his anxious mood a lot, but he was always not good at expressing, so he just patted Mr. Bingley on the shoulder. "Thank you." Then he got up and walked out.

"Wait, Fitzwilliam, where are you going?"

"Pay part of the fine first to ensure Philip's safety."

Mr. Bingley grabbed his coat. "I'll go with you. The land rent hasn't been collected yet and the merchant ship hasn't come back. If you withdraw so much money from the account at once, it will be bad if you need money urgently."

The two rode side by side to St. James Street.

Mr. Bingley was excited to support him when he saw his friend in trouble just now, but he thought about it on the way. Paying part of the fine means that Darcy is formally involved in this matter and can no longer get away easily. If Darcy does not speak to his uncle It just doesn't seem right to do that.Walking to the door of a coffee shop, Mr. Bingley remembered that neither of them had breakfast, so he suggested a cup of coffee, intending to persuade Mr. Darcy to think calmly in the coffee shop.Mr. Darcy agreed.

As soon as the two entered the coffee shop, they heard a shrill female voice: "I was really surprised. Mr. Darcy is so arrogant and always looks coldly at other people's mistakes. I thought he was a man of character. A gentleman without blemishes, I didn't expect him to do such a thing."

A soft female voice said: "Kate, I don't think Mr. Darcy would do such a thing."

Another crisp female voice giggled and said: "Daisy, you must not be as wise as Kate. This is by no means a trivial matter. Otherwise, Kate would not have just heard the news and said that she had misjudged Mr. Darcy."

Miss Kate's voice suddenly raised: "Emily, what do you mean! I really didn't expect Mr. Darcy to be such a person."

Miss Emily dragged her voice out: "Oh, it seems I remembered wrongly. It wasn't you who said that arrogance is the prerogative of a good gentleman. You weren't the one who wished Mr. Darcy could play the piano for the singing."

Miss Kate said angrily: "I still feel that arrogance is the prerogative of a good gentleman, but it is definitely not like Mr. Darcy, who pretended to do such a thing on the surface. I only heard that Mr. Darcy was outstanding on the piano , I hope to enjoy a more beautiful piano sound. How can you slander me with specious things in front of cousin Rose. "

"I'm sorry, dear Kate. I didn't know there was such a reason behind these two incidents. You have already explained it, and I believe Cousin Rose won't misunderstand." Miss Emily's tone didn't have much apologetic feeling .

Miss Daisy was very embarrassed by their quarrel: "Emily, Kate, don't be like this. Well, I don't understand these political things. If it is really serious, what will Mr. Darcy do?"

The gentleman who was silent just now answered her: "The crime of treason should be executed according to the law."

"Oh my God." Miss Daisy exclaimed, she seemed to have passed out, and someone could faintly hear someone saying get the smelling salts.

"Treason?" said a lady behind Mr. Bingley, who was embarrassed and angry, and Mr. Darcy, who was expressionless.

Mr. Bingley felt that her voice was a little familiar, and when he turned his head, it was Miss Kentra.

Emma walked around them to the tables of the ladies and gentlemen, her expression still soft. "I very much agree with what you said. It is indeed a crime of treason to provide weapons to the hostile French army during this extraordinary period. Then Mr. Darcy is still standing here instead of being arrested in the first place. Isn't it enough to show that this matter has not yet been established Is there any evidence? Or do some people think that our country’s judicial and administrative organs will still ignore the crime of treason after they have the evidence?”

The author has something to say: The heroine is so handsome~
