Dear Mr. Darcy [Pride and Prejudice]

So why did Mr. Darcy come out with an umbrella?This goes back two quarters of an hour.

Emma has been secretly paying attention to Miss Emily.Even though George has been trying to attract the attention of his sister, Mr. Darcy is silently showing his presence, Georgiana and Elizabeth are sitting on the side, Emma's attention still involuntarily slips to Miss Emily.After Emma and Mr. Darcy danced the second dance, they habitually looked for Miss Emily quietly from the corner of their eyes, only to find that Miss Emily was missing.

Miss Emily was not very happy at the ball, and Emma knew that.For most people, this is a joyful dance where friendship is exchanged and love is met, but for Miss Emily, it is a boring and forced dance.According to Emma's observation, Miss Emily's parents came all the way here without any utilitarian nature.They probably had a headache about Miss Emily's marriage for a long time. From Miss Emily's usual attitude, it is not difficult to see that she has no interest in getting married.Miss Emily's attitude towards George was a bit different, and she was later rescued by George, which gave them a glimmer of hope.But this hope was quickly dashed.George found Georgiana as his partner, but Miss Emily's attitude remained the same. She didn't want to be George's partner, nor did she want to dance with other gentlemen, and she rejected several men who came to invite her one after another.The smiles of Miss Emily's parents became more and more reluctant as time went by, and finally, her mother agreed to a gentleman's invitation for her.Miss Emily danced with him very reluctantly.After that, without knowing what happened, Miss Emily's figure disappeared from the hall.

Emma felt uneasy all the while walking back.When she is upset, she will not show any abnormalities in her expressions and movements, but she will subconsciously guide the other party to talk more, so as to take time to think about her entangled problems.Mr. Darcy noticed Emma's abnormality, and hesitated to speak.He knew that Emma had some little secrets, and he expected that Emma would tell him one day, but if Emma refused to tell, he would respect her decision.Because he knew that Emma was very thoughtful, and if she refused to speak, there must be a reason why she couldn't speak after weighing it up.

Reason told Emma she shouldn't get to the bottom of it.Emma had investigated Miss Emily in detail.This young lady is unique, which Emma can accept.The reason why she made up her mind not to recognize Miss Emily was that Miss Emily was not vigilant at all in concealing her identity as a traverser.If it is used by someone with a heart, the consequences are unimaginable.The church in this era no longer has the right to execute witches, but the influence of religion is still rooted in the entire society. If it is judged as heresy by the church, it will be difficult for any class of British society to gain a foothold.Emma's image not only affects herself, but also affects George, Mr. Darcy, Georgiana and others, so Emma has decided not to recognize this fellow.Since they don't recognize each other, the best choice at this time is to ignore Miss Emily's disappearance.If Miss Emily notices her concern, maybe she will find out her identity.But emotionally, Emma couldn't feel comfortable dancing in the hall and talking to guests.She sincerely hopes that the only time-traveling companion in the eighteenth century can live happily.

After struggling for a long time, Emma decided to go out and have a look.She can make up a reason to leave temporarily, but she doesn't want to lie to Mr. Darcy, especially when facing Mr. Darcy's eyes with deep concern, Emma has been tortured by her conscience before she can make an excuse. "Well, I need to go out for a while."

Mr. Darcy was glad that Emma was willing to tell him frankly. "Go out in secret?"

Emma shook her head: "No, go out in a fair manner." The host of the ball was Charlie. As one of the hosts of Netherfield Garden, she would also help receive the female relatives when Catherine was too busy.With most people knowing her, the chances of trying to sneak out for a while without being noticed are slim.It's better to find a reason to leave for a period of time.

Emma did not return after leaving, and Mr. Darcy was not in the mood to enjoy the ball.After sending Georgiana back upstairs, I went to the balcony alone.Soon Mr. Darcy felt a little damp against the wind.He was worried that Emma would catch up with the rain and go out to find her with an umbrella.Before finding Emma, ​​he unexpectedly met Elizabeth and Mrs. Bennet.

For safety reasons, Mr. Darcy sent the two ladies back to the hall first, then changed direction and continued to look for Emma.This time he was lucky, and he saw the person he was looking for within a short walk.

Emma's footsteps were light and silent. From Mr. Darcy's point of view, most of the hem of her long skirt melted into the dark flowers, making her already slender figure even thinner.She lowered her head slightly, her skin was pale and transparent under the dim moonlight, at first glance she looked like a ghost that was about to dissipate.

Before reason began to work, Mr. Darcy walked over quickly. He wanted to take her hand and make sure she was all right. "Miss Kentra?"

Emma was awakened from her contemplation by a familiar voice, she raised her head slightly, and was looking at Mr. Darcy with anxious and concerned gaze.Originally, Emma was just shocked and confused, but when facing Mr. Darcy, her eyes suddenly felt a little sore.Emma hadn't shed tears in front of anyone for a long time, and such a reaction made her very embarrassed.In order to cover up, Emma lowered her head and saw the umbrella in Mr. Darcy's hand, and casually picked up a topic: "It seems that there may be a rain soon?"

Mr. Darcy replied in a low and soft voice, "Yes, there may be rain soon."

"The weather in summer is really unpredictable."

"Yes, it changes quickly."

Emma complained childishly: "It's a nuisance."

There is no nutritious topic, Mr. Darcy still answered very patiently: "Yes, it is annoying."

Emma paused and asked very politely: "Can you turn around first?"

Mr. Darcy did so without hesitation.After a few breaths, two arms wrapped around him tightly.

Emma closed her eyes tightly, and the scene she had just seen appeared in her mind again.

Miss Emily repeated simple Chinese over and over among the flowers.Perhaps because the daily language is English, her Chinese pronunciation is no longer standard.Realizing this, she bit her lip hard.Then wept softly. "I'm not Emily! Please, don't forget. If I forget my words, my thoughts, I will still be alive!"

Emma's firm heart was shaken.

On the other side, Elizabeth and Mrs. Bennet chased in the direction Lydia ran away.Lydia heard a voice behind her and ran even faster.She doesn't want to see anyone!But things backfired, Lydia ran halfway, and faintly saw a figure beside the pool in front of her.

Lydia didn't want to force herself to say hello to anyone.She gave full play to the girl's unrestrained imagination. A person who appeared in the garden probably heard what the two officers said just now. How dreadful it was to look at her!She squatted down among the flowers.

After waiting for a while, I didn't hear the footsteps of that person leaving.Lydia quietly pushed aside the branches and leaves to look out.A woman with her back turned to her seemed to be gazing at the water, leaning down and getting up several times.

Lydia's imagination starts again
