Jane stood in the garden in the early morning, holding the letter that Mr. Darcy had handed her, and felt her heart beating like a drum.She watched the back of Mr. Darcy disappear behind the bushes, and then felt that the beating of her heart gradually became less exaggerated. She looked at the letter in her hand, hesitated, and opened it.

The letter reads:

Miss, when I receive this letter, I hope you are not as angry with me as you were yesterday.The reason why I want to write this letter, and I have to trouble you to read it after I write it, is to apologize for what I said yesterday under the grievance, and to explain to you what I did.

You said yesterday that I separated your sister from Mr. Bingley, in disregard of mutual affection.I'm not going to deny it.It was not long after my arrival in Hertfordshire that I saw Mr. Bingley's admiration for your sister, but it was not until the Lujiazhuang ball that I began to suspect that he was really in love with her.Speaking of his love affairs, I have seen a lot of them before.I don't want to speak ill of my friend, he was warm, fell in love easily when he met a beautiful and easy-going lady, but at that ball, even though he saw you, he still focused most of his attention on you. on your sister.Since then, I have paid close attention to my friend's behavior, and found that although his love for your sister was very obvious and he was very serious this time, it was not much different from his usual love situation, and he Among the objects of love before, there are many people who are more beautiful and have a higher status than Lingmei.

At the ball at Netherfield, I heard Sir William Lucas casually remark that Mr. Bingley's attentions to his sister had made such a scene that it was thought they were about to discuss marriage.This disturbed me very much. His sisters were as disturbed by this matter as I was at the time. We all thought that Mr. Bingley and his sister were not suitable. Miss.There was business in town at this time, and he left Netherfield the next day, as I am sure you will remember, intending to go and return immediately.

You can probably guess what happened next.The Bingley sisters and I felt that this was an opportunity, and we should hasten to London to isolate their brother.This matter is sooner rather than later, so we decided to leave immediately.When I arrived in London, I pointed out to my friend that his enthusiasm for his young lady was not much different from when he was in love in the past. Maybe it will go out soon.Mr. Bingley was of a meek nature, and always believed in me more than he believed in himself when I had an idea in anything.I had no trouble convincing him that it would be beneficial for both of us to be away from Lingmei for a while.Now that he had this conviction, it was of course easy for us to further persuade him not to return to Hertfordshire. sk

Here, I must admit my own selfishness, for I have found at that time your influence on me is growing, and the reason for my hasty departure, besides Mr. Bingley's, was that I wanted to suppress my feelings. Convincing him not to go back to Hertfordshire, apart from the fear that he would immediately rekindle his old relationship if he saw your sister again for a short time, and because I was afraid to see you again and find that your influence on me was still there-though I couldn't in the end Avoid the latter.

I think I did use my own influence to make Mr. Bingley finally make a decision to stay away from your sister and Hertfordshire. I may ignore your sister's feelings, but I did it out of nowhere. As for my concern for my friend, I didn't think there was anything wrong with it. There was only one thing that made me feel uneasy, and that was that when my sister came to the city, I used all means to hide the news from my friend.

You may remember that you asked me if I had met your sister in town, and I answered no, and you will be assured that I was telling the truth.I have never met your sister, but after your sister visited Miss Bingley and Mrs. Hurst, I happened to go too. Miss Bingley told me about your sister's visit. After we discussed, It was resolved that Mr. Bingley need not be informed of the matter, as he was out of town at the time, and by the time he returned her sister would probably have left.I didn't know that your sister stayed so long in the city, and if I had told Mr. Bingley at that time, and let the two of them meet, it might have done no harm, but I didn't think he had completely given up. Seeing Lingmei does not necessarily save her from danger.I may have lost my dignity by concealing and deceiving like this, but now, I am only ashamed of my original concerns.

Now for another thing: You said what I did yesterday was an impulsive act.Perhaps it was my whim to propose to you at a time like yesterday, but I have indeed been thinking about it for some time.Miss, you are calmer than me, and your thoughts are nobler than mine.Please forgive me for my bad words yesterday. It is undeniable that your doubts and concerns about my behavior are not all wrong.Please also forget my rude comments on your relatives yesterday. Please believe that the people you despise are also what I dislike. Your relatives may not be in the same class as me, but compared to these People in the same class, they are indeed more worthy of respect.

Miss, I am leaving you now, but I hope that when we meet next time, you will accept my greetings regardless of the past.

May God bless you.

Fitzwilliam Darcy

……

After reading the letter, Jane stood there for a while, only to realize that she had been out for a long time. Mr. Darcy and Colonel Fitzwilliam should have gone to the vicarage to say goodbye, and it was time for her to go back.

Mr. Darcy was willing to apologize for his contempt for Jane's family and relatives when he proposed marriage, which Jane did not expect; She knew whether to hate him or love him; Jane was touched by his affection in the letter; he gave her such a letter, but left her quickly, and made her feel sorry for the gentleman. It is doubtful whether the relationship will continue.

Jane's last words when she rejected Mr. Darcy broke out out of anger and resentment. After she calmed down, she realized how shocking those words were in this era, and Darcy Mr. Xi actually tolerated her rude and rash words, and even apologized for his remarks, which made Jane respect him even more.His obstruction of Mr. Bingley's and Elizabeth's affection, and his own influence over Mr. Bingley's keeping Mr. Bingley away from Hertfordshire and Elizabeth, made Jane very angry.But when Jane saw that Mr. Darcy wrote that one of the reasons for his obstruction was that Mr. Bingley's feelings for Elizabeth were not unique, the anger dissipated a lot unconsciously, and turned into a passion for Mr. Bingley. Disappointment and regret for the wrong feelings towards my sister.She had already thought that when Mr. Bingley took a fancy to Elizabeth, the plot of the original book could no longer be referred to. In the original book, Mr. Bingley should have developed a good impression of herself—Jane Bennet, and fell in love deeply. The main reason for their separation is that Jane Bennet in the original work is too reserved, causing Mr. Bingley to mistakenly think that he is "intentional and heartless", but Elizabeth and Jane Bennet in the original work are completely different. As a different person, Mr. Bingley's feelings will naturally be different. Even though both parties knew that the other party was interested in him, Mr. Bingley was still persuaded to leave, and the reason could only be that his affection was not deep enough.

Jane has no doubt that if Mr. Darcy hadn't intervened at that time, Mr. Bingley and Elizabeth would have been able to achieve good things, but when the impulsive and sweet period of love passed and was replaced by the short-tempered parents, the relationship between him and Elizabeth could still endure. Live the test?Will Mr. Bingley love Elizabeth more as he gets to know her better, or will he despise her because his love fades and he thinks of the disparity in the status of the two families?

In this way she walked for an hour, until she came to the junction of the Vicarage and Rosings Hall, where she usually parted at last after meeting Mr. Darcy in her walks.She stopped here for a while, feeling that she had calmed down, that she could face the people in the vicarage with her usual cheerful expression, and that her conversation with them would not seem unnatural, and she went on. .

As soon as she had reached the vicarage, Maria ran out to her and said, "You have missed two gentlemen, who have come to say good-bye!"

Although Jane already knew about it, and intentionally avoided Mr. Darcy and Colonel Fitzwilliam's farewell to the vicarage, but it was inconvenient for others to know about it, so when she heard what Maria said, she showed Appropriate regret.

"What a pity indeed!" said Maria. "We told Mr. Darcy and Colonel Fitzwilliam that you had gone out for a walk, but Mr. Darcy had no intention of waiting, and left quickly... oh! That's not the point! The point is Colonel Fitzwilliam! He's been waiting for you for over half an hour!"

"is it?"

"Yes!" cried Maria, "it's a pity he's gone now, too!"

She looked at Jane's absent-minded look, and asked narrowly, "What do you think he meant, Jane? When he left, he said that he had a chance to visit us in Hertfordshire!"

"Then you can look forward to seeing him again in Hertfordshire." Jane smiled at Maria and said, and then said that she was tired from walking, interrupting the conversation Maria wanted to continue, and went to Lou, locked himself in the room.
