Pride and Prejudice Becoming Jane Bennet

Mr. Darcy felt that something was very wrong with him, especially after yesterday's conversation with Jane.At first, he only recognized that it was the lady who mistakenly thought he was going to jump into the sea and called out to him in Ramsgate. At that time, he felt very offended. Inviting her to dance was out of politeness and an inexplicable feeling after discovering her identity.But then he found how pleasing it is to look at her peaceful face, and how refreshing her easy-going conversation is, when her blue eyes fall on you, you You will feel that you are being listened to and taken seriously.Her elegant demeanor was a little out of place for a rough country dance, but she made anyone who asked her to dance or talk to her feel comfortable.He couldn't help but cast his attention on her, and often stood not far away to listen carefully when she was talking with others.

He knew that his behavior had attracted Jane's attention, and occasionally Jane would sincerely invite him to join the conversation, and quickly found a topic that could attract him to say a few words, which made him a little happy and a little entangled.He clearly realized that Jane's identity and status did not match his own, and he had already paid too much attention to Jane, so that even Miss Bingley occasionally joked about it to him.He therefore resolved to be careful, during the remainder of Jane's stay at Netherfield, not to show any signs of admiration, which Jane would discover, and mistakenly think that he was going after her.

After making up his mind, Mr. Darcy seldom spoke more than ten words to Jane the day before she left. They happened to be alone for an hour that afternoon, but he was so absorbed in reading that he didn't even bother to read. Take a look at her.

Jane did not notice the strangeness of Mr. Darcy, she just wanted to hurry up and finish reading most of the book in the remaining time, although she could ask Mr. Bingley to borrow the book back, but she I don’t want to do this, but I just feel that the mood of reading in different places is different. When she takes the book home, she may not read it because of some other things, or she may not be willing to read it. Return the book.And that hour alone with Mr. Darcy was probably the happiest hour she had read, for no one spoke or sought her out now and then.

The two sisters said their goodbyes immediately after morning prayers on Sunday morning.Miss Bingley suddenly became extraordinarily kind and warm, and said to the two Miss Bennets, "I look forward to seeing them again at Longbourn or Netherfield," and embraced them both.Mr. Bingley cordially entrusted the two ladies with his regards to Mr. and Mrs. Bennet, and invited Mr. Bennet to come and hunt with them whenever it was convenient.Mr. Darcy did not go to see him off, but when Miss Bingley returned to the dining room and found Mr. Darcy standing at the window silently watching the carriage leaving the manor, she still made a good joke.

Mrs. Bennet welcomes Jane and Elizabeth less than warmly, and complains that they are a nuisance to the family, and that Jane is bound to have another cold.Mr. Bennet said nothing cheerful, but he was very happy.Several Miss Bennet held the hands of the eldest sister and the second sister and chattered about life in Netherfield Gardens, talking about recent events.

"Mary's novel has been accepted!" cried Lydia in the absence of Mr. and Mrs. Bennet. "Kate and I went to the post office in Meryton with Mrs. Philip when I went to see her the other day, and her novel Hired!"

"It can only be serialized in newspapers." Mary said happily and a little shyly.

Mary has been writing a novel these days, and she has shown it to several sisters, and everyone thinks it is very good, so Jane encourages her to try to submit it.

"Really?" Jane turned her head to look at Mary in surprise.

"This is really wonderful!" Elizabeth sat down and took Mary's hand.

"You didn't tell anyone?" Jane asked Kate and Lydia.

"It's a secret," Kate said.

"Even Mom and Dad don't know." Lydia said proudly.

"Yeah." Jane nodded approvingly.It is a good thing that Mary's novel can be accepted, but it is not very good for Mr. and Mrs. Bennet to know, or, if this matter is heard by reckless people, it is spread that Miss Bennet depends on It's not too good to live on the royalties.

Several people inquired about the newspapers and magazines that included Mary's novels and the manuscript fees. Although the newspapers and periodicals were not well-known and the manuscript fees were not much, it was a kind of affirmation of Mary anyway, so the sisters decided to celebrate a little.

So Jane played the piano, and the sisters happily danced away in the living room in a couple, to the surprise of Mr. and Mrs. Bennet who came back.

"We're celebrating Jane getting well and coming home with Liz!" Mary said to their parents.

Mr. Bennet quickly went to the study, but Mrs. Bennet was left in the living room, and it was difficult for them to discuss about Mary. Therefore, Kate and Lydia began to talk about the journey from Meryton. What Mrs. Philip heard.

"Uncle wasn't there the day we visited Auntie, so guess what he was doing?" Lydia said.

Before they could answer, Kate said, "He went to have dinner with the officers."

"He came back in the late afternoon and said there was a lot going on in the militia!"

"It is said that a soldier was whipped!"

"And then there are still some new officers who will come over at the end of the month!"

"There will definitely be a dance then."

"I'm sure I'm going to do a few dances with them."

Listening to Kate and Lydia's remarks, Jane suddenly realized that the time for them to meet the gentle scum in Pride and Prejudice, Mr. Wickham, is approaching. Although she still doesn't know what Mr. Wickham is here, will she It will be different from the original book, but it's time for me to remind my sisters.So when Mrs. Bennet yelled that she had a headache from listening to their noise and went back to her room for a nap, she began to talk.

"When I was a guest at Mr. Weston's house, I heard some very bad things." Jane started this way, which immediately attracted Lydia's attention.

"What is it? Tell me!"

"I did mean to tell you, so that you may be more careful in your company with officers or other gentlemen."

"It has something to do with the officers?!" Lydia yelled.

"Yes." Jane replied.Then there are many generals who are handsome and gentle on the outside, but are good at eating, drinking, whoring and gambling inside, and what's more, they talk about how to trick the feelings of young ladies for fun.

"Oh! But they all look so sweet!" cried Kate.

"That's not necessarily the case," Jane said, "Knowing people and faces but not heart, a person's character can only be known through careful observation."

Mary nodded approvingly.

"Mr. Weston has mentioned a very frightening incident, that there was once a very charming young man in their army, who coaxed a young lady from a fallen nobleman to elope with him, but then abandoned her, and the lady was ruined. , and finally reduced to a courtesan thing." Jane said.

Elizabeth was a little surprised that Mr. Weston did not shy away from mentioning this matter in front of the young lady, but she didn't know that Mr. Weston had only made a vague generalization at that time, and Jane was actually speaking in the name of Mr. Weston now. Special knock on the two little sisters.

"This is just an example." Lydia said nonchalantly.

"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case," Jane said, "We treat people sincerely, but we also have to protect ourselves. Before deciding to have a deep friendship with someone, find out his character. If you are undecided, talk to your sisters. Always beneficial."

Several Miss Bennet agreed that this matter was over, and Jane picked up a new topic to chat, but secretly decided to keep an eye on her little sister.
