[Pride and Prejudice] Mary's Pride and Prejudice

Everyone returned to the temporary villa, and the group was still talking about today's game and the bazaar. Although Miss Bingley laughed at Daphne and the others for setting up a stall, people as famous as Mrs. Fry all went So she can only stop there, after all, Mr. Darcy has always praised them as loving and good girls.Fortunately, except for Mrs. Hurst singing along with her, no one paid any attention to her words. After a while, she concentrated on talking to Mr. Darcy.

When it was time to finish the meal, the servant said that Daphne and Lydia could not be found. This was really strange. Uncle Gardiner asked the porter, only to know that Daphne had received a letter, and then hurried out with Lydia Yes, they did remember to get into the Bennet's carriage, and Uncle Gardiner finally felt a little relieved.But these two children went out in such silence, and did not return at supper time without sending a message from the servant. It was so presumptuous that Uncle Gardiner decided that when they came back, they would give them a good meal and call them. Be more thoughtful next time.

Miss Darcy asked about the two of them during the meal, and Uncle Gardiner said that they were out to meet friends and probably would not come back to finish the meal.Mary looked at her uncle, but said nothing at that time.When everyone was chatting in the living room, it was completely dark. Mary and Uncle Gardiner were a little anxious. Even Elizabeth didn't concentrate on reading and looked out the window frequently, but they couldn't see anything except the dark night. To the signs of the return of the two sisters.

At last Uncle Gardiner stood up and said to his wife, "I'm going out."

Aunt Gardiner knew that her husband was worried about the two children, so she went out together and stood at the door to watch. After a while, Mary, Elizabeth and Jane were all standing beside them. Only Mrs. Bennet was heartless in her room with her son-in-law. A family playing cards.

Mary was really anxious in her heart. She has a big brain and loves to associate, and now she has imagined five or six possible versions of the accident.

Jane is not very worried, because she never thinks of people in a bad way, so she just thinks that Lydia and Daphne are probably having so much fun that they forget the time.

Also calm are Elizabeth and Aunt Gardiner. They are very sensible. Because of the relationship between the royal family and the government, the law and order in Windsor town has always been good. It will be better than usual.What's more, they went out in a carriage with the coachman. If they want to leave this town, they will definitely tell the adults, especially Daphne. She is more stable than her cousin Lydia.Well, since they are in this small town now, there shouldn't be any accidents.

The few of them expressed their opinions one by one, so they comforted each other and felt relieved.

And Uncle Gardiner is well-informed and Mary has a big brain, so it is these two people who are most worried.They all knew more about the evils in this world than their relatives, so they felt extremely uneasy, which made them even more determined, and when the two worry-free children came back, they must give them a hard education.

After waiting for a while, Uncle Gardiner became impatient, and he said to his wife and nieces: "You all go back, I will go to Daphne's teacher to see, if anyone can write to Daphne and ask her out, then she My classmates should know a little bit, especially that Miss Margaret."

Aunt Gardiner nodded, gave her husband a few words, and then brought the nieces into the house. Inside, Mrs. Bennet just won a sum of money and shouted happily. Mr. Darcy was talking to his sister, but when he saw They came in and glanced at Elizabeth, then slowly walked over to her and asked, "Have Miss Lydia and Miss Daphne not sent any news yet?"

Elizabeth nodded: "Yes, I probably forgot, but I think there should be news soon. The coachman is an old servant of our family. He can definitely think of coming back and sending us a letter."

Mr. Darcy reassured her again. What he said was pretty much what she thought. Since the two ladies were going to visit a certain part of the town in a carriage, and the town was in good order, there was no need to worry about their safety. necessary.

Until nine o'clock, people in the lounge began to fall asleep.Everyone has been exercising a lot during the day, and now they feel extremely tired, so everyone went to bed early one after another.

Aunt Gardiner told the nieces to go to their bedrooms, and she went to wait for her husband and daughter, and they all went upstairs.

After a while, Mary quietly went downstairs and returned to the lounge. There was a door here, so she could see her uncle bring him back immediately.However, when she walked into the lounge, there were candles burning and people talking. Mary thought her uncle had come back, so she happily pushed the door open, but the people inside were startled. It turned out that it was Mr. Darcy and Gardiner. Aunt is talking.

"Mary?" Aunt Gardiner looked at her in surprise.

"I thought it was uncle who came back. I couldn't sleep and wanted to wait here for them to come back." Mary laughed dryly, a little disappointed.

"That's what I thought too, but I didn't expect that Mr. Darcy was here waiting for them. He came earlier than me." Aunt Gardiner said gratefully.

Mr. Darcy continued to be a noble gentleman: "The guests haven't come back yet, how can I leave them to sleep by myself, I invited you to stay here temporarily, so naturally I must fulfill my responsibility."

At this moment, the door opened again, and Elizabeth came in with a candlestick. Her expression was very surprised. She was still wearing the same clothes just now, and she had obviously not gone to bed yet, and her purpose of coming here was the same as that of everyone present.

When she saw Mr. Darcy, she seemed to understand why he was here at once, and she couldn't help but feel grateful. Obviously, Mr. Darcy did this out of kindness and sincere affection for his friends. This gentleman now looks like She was a completely different person from the arrogant and outspoken person she was when she first met her.

A few people waited in the room for a while, and everyone said this indifferently, and everyone was a little absent-minded.The clock in the living room struck ten o'clock, and the mood of several people became more irritable with the bell.No matter where Lydia and Daphne were guests, it was time to say goodbye and go home. Moreover, Uncle Gardiner never came back after he left.

Mr. Darcy got up and said to them: "I think maybe I should..."

At this time, there was a neighing sound outside, and then the door was slammed, and the sound of "snapping" made several people nervous. Mr. Darcy immediately ran over to open the door regardless of his demeanor. Daphne and the blonde Miss Margaret stood outside.

The two of them supported each other, and they all shook back and forth, as if they were about to fall to the ground in the next moment.Both of them were pale and bloodless, with terrified expressions on their faces, as if they had been greatly frightened.

The coachman jumped out of the car, and walking quickly behind them, said to Mr. Darcy: "There is an accident, sir, please add Mr. Gardiner!"

Mr. Darcy frowned: "He went out to find you, didn't you meet him?"

He called people into the house, and both Mary and Elizabeth heard their voices. Aunt Gardiner jumped over and hugged Daphne tightly. Daphne collapsed on the ground when she saw her mother. Aunt Gardiner Caressing her back to comfort her: "Oh, dear, dear..."

Miss Margaret also fell down on a chair and burst into tears, which startled the porter who rushed to hear the sound. Mr. Darcy told him: "Go and bring a glass of brandy to the ladies, and prepare some food. I don't think they ate anything."

The porter hurried to the kitchen.

Elizabeth asked Daphne anxiously: "Where's Lydia? Didn't she go out with you?"

Daphne had already regained her strength at this time, she quickly tugged on Aunt Gardiner's sleeve and said, "Lydia and Wickham are gone."

I'm going!

Mary was stunned, please don't make such a joke at this time, the plot has been fanned by her to such an extent, can Lydia run away with Wickham?Would she rather believe that she eloped with Colonel Edwards?

But what Daphne said next made Mary relieved. Lydia didn't elope with Wickham at all, but was kidnapped.

hijack?Mary's heart that had just been put down lifted up again, it was not much better than elopement!
