Darcy missed the appointment!

Elizabeth frowned. Collins was quite curious when he saw this embarrassed expression on this smart cousin, but he resisted the urge to stand on tiptoe to read the contents of the note from behind Elizabeth.

"Cousin Elizabeth, what happened?" Collins asked with concern.

"No, it's not a big deal." Elizabeth folded up the note and carefully put it in her handbag: "It's just a little disappointing."

Because the disappointment was so obvious, Collins was ashamed to ask.

Elizabeth quickly calmed down, and used rational analysis to overcome the frustration of her failed wishes.Darcy is a person with a strong sense of honor, even if he made a promise to meet impulsively on the dance floor, he will definitely keep it afterwards.And based on Elizabeth's understanding of him, even if he doesn't propose, he will definitely confess his love.

At this time, he was able to attend a lifelong event, and the reason why he did not hesitate to miss the appointment must be because someone in his relatives had a problem.

Could it be Aunt Catherine?Elizabeth immediately rejected this option, not to mention who can embarrass this noble lady with capital and temper, and in the next five years, Elizabeth can guarantee that Aunt Catherine will be as strong as a cow.

It may not be Georgiana, she is far away in Pemberley at the moment, and Wickham knows Darcy's bottom line very well. Before Darcy told himself last time, Wickham himself never disclosed the slightest information about Georgiana, so it should not be Georgiana.

There was only cousin Anne, and she did not know what tricks she used to make Wickham abandon the goal of Georgiana and go to Rosings to make trouble.

What is her purpose? !

Elizabeth was at a loss when a maid suddenly interrupted her contemplation. She came to see Collins: "Mr. Pastor, Miss Mary Bennet let me inform you that Miss Jane Bennet fainted. It has passed, and the duchess has arranged to go to the guest room to rest. The doctor said that she is fine, and it may just be weak after recovery. She also said that if you meet other relatives of the Bennet family, please let them know! "

Jane passed out!

What's wrong with her again? Although Elizabeth was impatient, she didn't connect her with Darcy's missed appointment, because Darcy really didn't seem to want to pay attention to her, but it was reasonable for Elizabeth to go. trip.

Mr. Bennet and Kitty were there when Elizabeth went to the guest room.

She had a real feeling about Mrs. Bennet and Lydia's unreliability. Mrs. Bennet might just feel fainted. As long as a bottle of smelling salts is happy; I don't even bother to do scenes of sisterly love.

The doctor took a bottle of smelling salts and slightly stimulated Jane's nose. She let out a low moan and slowly woke up.

Her blue eyes quickly fell on Elizabeth in the crowd, and raised her hand slightly: "Oh, my dear Liz."

Elizabeth jumped up almost on the spot, and she immediately recognized that this was her dearest sister Jane, who grew up with her since she was a child, and she was only intimate and gentle, and she never even quarreled.

For her sister, Elizabeth can leave everything else behind.

"Jane," Elizabeth immediately stepped forward to hold her hand, and sat gently on the side of the bed: "How do you feel?"

Jane's expression was full of confusion: "I feel my head 'buzzing', and everything is in a mess."

"Is there a little train running rampant inside?" Elizabeth comforted Jane with a joke, and then put her hand back under the quilt: "I'm here with you."

Jane really hoped that Elizabeth would stay with her, but she felt that the opportunity was rare: "But the dance is not over yet."

"But I've had enough dancing," the most important thing is that she has already danced with Darcy, Elizabeth turned her head and said to the crowd: "Jane should be fine, I'm here with her, if the dance ends She was able to walk and we went home together."

The doctor approved Elizabeth's approach.

Then all the people in the room dispersed.

As Elizabeth loosened the straps of Jane's corset to help her breathe better, she thought about how to talk to her.

"Didn't the doctor diagnose you with pneumonia?" Elizabeth pretended to ask casually, "Why did you suddenly faint again, Jane, I still expect you to continue to walk with me in the fields in the future!"

"I will try my best to accompany you," Jane replied with her eyes closed. She frowned as if she was digesting the experience of these days. Elizabeth waited nervously, lest Jane would remember the bad things that time-traveling woman did, In this way, Jane must be very sad about what "herself" did. Elizabeth heard her say: "I don't remember what happened before I fainted now, but the person who helped me should be Mr. Darcy."

Sure enough.

According to what Kitty said before, there should be only two ways for a traverser to leave this world. Either the strategy is successful and he leaves, or he fails. Once the target of the strategy says the safe word, it is a complete failure.

So Darcy must have said something inadvertently, which happened to hit the time-traveling woman's life gate.

If Jane does not remember, Elizabeth can only ask Darcy for confirmation.

This matter is not the most important thing. Although Elizabeth is curious, she knows the priorities. The most important task at present is how to restore Jane's reputation. Fortunately, the time-traveling girl is very good at acting. Only Darcy and the Bingley family have opinions on her. But the matter of Jane and Bingley may not work out right now.

But for a gentle and amiable girl like Jane, there will always be another good man to love.

Elisabeth was naturally defensive, and in her eyes, her sister was the best in her family.

She thought of the notes in her handbag, and thought that she and Darcy might have a long way to go, neither of them having a free hand now to think about life's events.

She touched Jane's face tenderly. Jane had already fallen asleep, breathing softly and long. She kissed Jane's forehead: "We will be home soon."

The manservant who delivered the letter told Darcy that the note had been delivered to Miss Elizabeth, and that there was nothing wrong with it after the other party read it, so Darcy gave him a penny to let him go.He was distraught at the moment, he was worried about Anne, but also regretful that things had gone so hard.He knew he was impulsive on the dance floor, and Elizabeth was so beautiful that he couldn't help it, so he never regretted asking her to speak privately for a single minute.Even after the impulse passed, he began to fantasize about the beauty of the future.

But all this has to be put on hold for now.

The servant said that Elizabeth was fine, and Darcy didn't know whether to be worried or happy.Should we be thankful that Miss's knowledge is general?No, Darcy didn't think so. He was worried that Elizabeth didn't like him that much, so he was not disappointed.

This made Mr. Darcy, who would act on an idea, hesitate for the first time.

He hesitated whether to find her to clarify everything before the end of the ball, but he stood at the corner of the stairs for a while, and finally walked up the stairs slowly, and knocked on the guest room where Anne lived.Thanks to the unconscious Jane Bennet, Aunt Catherine is busy directing the overall situation at the moment, and Darcy can rest assured to have a talk with Anne.

Annie watched Darcy go back and forth suspiciously. After lending Darcy the shoes, she also specially watched the dancing scene of the two from the second floor. The official couple clearly had a good atmosphere with each other. He came back to look for her with a livid face.

She has always acted very carefully. As Miss Anne, she has never shown anything wrong, not to mention that the characters in the original book did not recognize them. Those time-traveling women, including Jane, Lydia, or Charlotte, should have never doubted themselves, so they do not It should be that something tricky appeared after she helped the official match, so what happened to Darcy's face?

Annie's reaction was quick, she put down her needlework (God knows she only did cross-stitch), with a genuinely puzzled look on her face: "Cousin Darcy, why are you back?" She covered her mouth and sniggered, With a little girl's excitement on her face: "I know Miss Elizabeth's eloquence, maybe you didn't have the upper hand."

Darcy's arrogance has always been only hurt by Elizabeth, and Anne took it for granted that the two might have quarreled.

The original book was originally a daily "bickering" between the hero and heroine.

Darcy looked at Anne rather complicatedly. Is it true that people who have been ill all year round have a particularly delicate mind, because they pay too much attention to the happiness, anger and happiness of others, but ignore themselves instead?If Jane Bennet hadn't guessed what Wickham did at Rosings Manor from Jane Bennet's mouth, would Anne have been pretending that there were no such things and pretending to be peaceful, just to keep her relatives from worrying.

He was heartbroken by it.

"I just suddenly remembered that Georgiana wrote to me a few days ago." Darcy sat down on the sofa, and Anne only felt that he was stared at by him on pins and needles.

She knew that something must have gone wrong, so she tried her best to deal with Darcy: "Oh, cousin, then you can hide this matter too well. Normally, you would tell Georgiana's beliefs to me and my mother." .”

Darcy ignored her interruption: "Georgiana said in her letter that she missed her former female companion, Mrs. Yangji very much, and wanted to ask her if she was doing well in Rosings Manor." He asked meaningfully: "After all, she never I left Pemberley at the beginning of the year, and Georgiana said that she has a problem with bitter summer, and Rosings Manor is not a good place to escape the summer, so Georgiana asked."

You didn't ask about summer until November, you're lying.

Anne also knew that it was extremely difficult for Darcy to say such kind words. It was only because he was his relative that he changed to such a relatively gentle method. Knowing what he wanted to ask, Anne simply said truthfully: "Mrs. Very good, as a female companion, I am always satisfied with her. But she has only one bad thing, that is, she will believe other people's rhetoric."

Darcy's guess was confirmed, and he stood up abruptly: "So has she done anything against you?"

Anne was startled by such a sudden attack. She grabbed the armrest of the sofa and stammered to admit: "She introduced Mr. Wickham to me."

No wonder Georgiana is such an obedient girl, because her guardian brother is so scary!
