[Pride and Prejudice] Mary's Pride and Prejudice

Chapter 30 The Darcy couple who always pass by

Elizabeth looked at the pale little girl with pity in her heart. She seemed to be about the same age as Lydia, but Lydia was like the thorn rose in the field. No matter how hard she was beaten, she always grew wantonly. This little girl But like a timid little rabbit just born, with red eyes and ignorant eyes, it will involuntarily arouse people's love and affection.

Elizabeth asked her, "Does your brother work here?"

"No, he's here to do business."

"Where's your girlfriend? Are you here to do business too?"

"She took me to him, but she met someone she knew, and the two of them stopped talking, and I went to the bathroom, and when I came out, I couldn't find them... Does anyone know where they went?"

The little girl asked a few people at the beginning, but she didn't see her companion. The men who came and went here were all doing business. They were in a hurry, and no one would care about a shy little girl's inquiry. , the little girl began to feel that the people around her were not as friendly as they seemed, and she was introverted and shy by nature, and she never dared to ask people again.She walked around in a panic. Are there hundreds of rooms here?She couldn't find a girlfriend or a brother!Suddenly seeing the Bennet sisters, who suddenly appeared in the Home Office full of men, gave her an indescribable sense of security, and she felt that it should be safe to follow them...

"Can I continue to follow you?" the little girl asked timidly.

"Of course," Jane said softly, "you come with us, don't be afraid."

"We have a lot of people and a big goal. Your girlfriends must be looking for you. If they ask people if they have seen a lady like you, I think many people will lead them to the place where there are the most ladies. Yes." Elizabeth blinked slyly, and said to the little girl with a smile, which made the frightened little girl relax: "Thank you."

"You're welcome!"

They actually stayed together for a long time, and the secretary did not appear, nor did he see the little girl's female companion looking for her.

The little girl's expression became a little anxious, because she had just introduced herself as Georgiana Darcy, so Elizabeth called her Miss Darcy: "Is your girlfriend coming to find your brother with you?"

"Yes, we went to Trafalgar Square to play, and she heard that my brother was around here, and she suggested that they come together to look for him, but now they are gone."

"How old is your girlfriend, and is she alone?"

"Her name is Dorothy, she's 17 years old, and she's alone, but she knows a gentleman here, and then the two of them started talking, and they talked for a long time, and when I came out of the bathroom, they were gone, no Does anyone know where they went?"

"How did you get here? Is it the family carriage or rented?"

"The carriage we rented on the street, let him go when we get here." And she didn't dare to drive home alone.

Elizabeth frowned, and had no clue at all. "Who is your brother looking for?"

"William, or Will or something, I forgot," Miss Darcy's face turned red, and she suddenly remembered something, "It's the gentleman who promoted the abolition of slavery, called William or something."

"Mr. William Wilbersford!" Elizabeth said in surprise.

"That's right, that's the name." Miss Darcy was overjoyed.

"Oh, that's easy." Elizabeth was also very happy. She went to Mary and Mr. Smith and told them about Miss Darcy's situation. In fact, Miss Darcy had already attracted the attention of all of them. Kitty and Lydia had quietly guessed her identity just now.

Mr. Smith said it would be easy, and he went out and got a footman, and gave him a few pennies to show him the way to the office of Mr. William Wilbersford, who had no office in the building, but He often came here to see the Secretary of State.

Mr. Smith inquired at the secretariat of the Secretary of State. According to the office staff there, there was indeed a long talk between Mr. Darcy and Mr. Wilbersford in the office, but they had already left for about 15 minutes.

When Mr. Smith came back and told the truth, Miss Darcy became anxious and asked repeatedly: "What can we do?"

"Don't worry, we can take you home." Mary reassured her.

Several people discussed it, and how many people should stay here to wait for the secretary who never returned, so Jane and Elizabeth had to send Miss Darcy home. Originally, if the elderly Mrs. Bennet took Darcy It would be better for Miss West to send her home, but this lady is now trying to fit the whole building she is staying in into her narrow brain, how can she be willing to leave here for a young lady she has never met.

Mary, Mr. Smith, and the rest had to stay and continue the long wait, while Elizabeth and Jane rode in the carriage to Miss Darcy's house.

Miss Darcy and her brother live in St. James Street, which is a well-known wealthy district in London. Miss Darcy is supposed to be very wealthy.

When they stopped the carriage, there was a villa with a garden in front of them. The wrought iron gate was open. They walked in. It was very quiet inside. A middle-aged woman was anxiously pacing back and forth in the porch when she saw Miss Darcy walking. When she came in, she cried out at once: "Georgiana, my God, you're back!"

She trotted all the way over and hugged Miss Darcy: "That Miss Dorothy went too far and left you there alone."

"Where's Dorothy?"

"When she came back with your brother and found that you were not at home, she cried anxiously. She said that she went to find Mr. Darcy with you, but then you disappeared, so she thought you had come home by yourself." The wife was very angry: "She didn't think about how you could come back without saying a word? How could a little girl come back alone? It's too much. She didn't reveal anything to Mr. Darcy, and she just cared about it. He! Mr. Darcy was so angry that he sent her home with the coachman, and rode to you."

Then they must have staggered along the way.

Miss Darcy introduced them to each other. It turned out that this lady was Mrs. Horst, the housekeeper of the Darcy family's London mansion. Come down for a cup of tea, and thank them personally when Mr. Darcy returns.

Jane and Elizabeth politely declined, and they had to go back and meet the busy secretary as much as possible.It so happened that Mrs. Hurst sent a valet to Mr. Darcy, telling him that Miss Darcy had arrived home safely, and they happened to return to the Home Office together under the escort of the servant.

They parted from the servant at the door. The servant went to find Mr. Darcy, but the two sisters were stopped by the gatekeeper. It turned out that Mr. Secretary had already met Lawyer Smith and Mary and others in a hurry, and after asking them to leave the materials, he sent them away. Sent away.Everyone didn't wait for them to go home directly. Mary paid the doorman of the Home Office a penny and asked Elizabeth and Jane to go home if they came back.

Jane and Elizabeth thanked the gatekeeper politely, turned around and walked out again. The carriage was waiting outside. The coachman unexpectedly came out as soon as the two ladies entered, so he quickly opened the door for the two ladies and invited them to get in the carriage.

At this time, a tall young man hurried out of the gate, and the servant behind him pointed to Jane and Elizabeth who had just got into the car and said to him, "It's those two ladies who sent Miss Darcy home!"

The young man is Miss Darcy's elder brother, Mr. Darcy. He just came back from home to look for his sister. He first asked the gatekeeper if he had seen an eleven or twelve-year-old lady coming in and out of this place. Unfortunately, today is a special day. The chances of such a lady are very small, but today there are several ladies of different ages coming in and out. Mr. Darcy couldn't find out anything, so he went directly to the office of the Secretary of State.The clerk there said that someone came here to inquire about Mr. Darcy, but it was a middle-aged man, not a young lady of eleven or twelve.

Mr. Darcy suddenly lost his mind. Georgiana has always been timid and shy, and doesn't like to deal with strangers, especially in this damned Home Office, where men with loud voices come and go, his shy sister will definitely feel scared!Damn it!Where the hell is she?

Mr. Darcy immediately asked the servants who came with him to look around, and asked the clerk here for help. Mr. Darcy was born in a wealthy family, and he also met the Minister of State. Of course, the people here are willing to please him, so many people flocked immediately Start looking for Miss Darcy.Seeing the chaotic scene, Mr. Darcy's heart became more and more suffocated. Fortunately, the servant sent by Mrs. Horst came over at this time, and he happily told Mr. Darcy that Miss Darcy had returned home safely. It was sent back by two ladies who came to work in the Ministry of the Interior, and the two ladies are still behind.

Mr. Darcy was overjoyed and kept asking about the matter, but the servant didn't know much. He was just sent by Mrs. Horst to report the news that the lady had arrived home safely.

Mr. Darcy hurriedly looked for the two helping ladies, but as soon as he reached the door, he could only catch up with a silhouette of Elizabeth getting into the car. He hurried down the steps to stop them, but it was too late Now, the door of the carriage was closed, the coachman drove the carriage, two strong white horses raised their hooves and galloped quickly, leaving Mr. Darcy far behind.

Mr. Darcy had no choice but to watch the carriage go away regretfully. He decided to ask Georgiana if he knew the addresses of the two ladies when he got home. He had to visit them personally and thank the two ladies for their kindness.At the same time, Miss Dorothy must be listed as an unwelcome guest, and she must never be allowed to appear in any party at Darcy's house again!

The plot of this chapter is based on this.Ha ha ha ha! ! ! !Darcy, you have to offend Elizabeth after the first meeting in a few years, so as to conform to Jane Austen's original intention-the relationship started from arrogance and prejudice, hahahaha! ! !
