[Pride and Prejudice] Sky Bookstore

Skye learned something about Elsie's situation from the shopkeeper.

The owner is a grizzled bearded grandfather.He took him in out of pity for Elsie.And if Skye hadn't happened to be around here, she might have missed her brother.

"You don't know anything, and you ran out alone!"

None of Skye, Elsie, and Darcy wanted to stop in the coffee shop.The curious look of other customers in the store is like watching a real-life show of family recognition.

After reaching the street, Skye walked ahead, holding Elsie's arm.She had a stomach full of anger about to explode.But seeing that this is a public place, he finally restrained himself a little.

"I...Actually, I know that you are going to Netherfield...I am going to find you!" Elsie said weakly.After the surprise and surprise of seeing Skye passed, he eagerly wanted to tell Skye in detail what he had encountered at school.

"What if I left early!" Skye lowered his voice, but couldn't hide his anger.

"Then I can still find your friend..."

Elsie looked at Skye in confusion, not thinking it was a big problem.Since he is a friend Skye knows, he should be willing to take him in.

Skye was angry and scared.If Elsie had gone his way, it was likely that by the time he arrived at Netherfield, Darcy and Bentley would have returned to London for the winter.And his tattered clothes are definitely in the rhythm of freezing to death outside.

If Darcy hadn't persuaded her to stay for a while, Elsie's fate would not be as smooth as he thought.

"You'd better tell me something very important. Otherwise, I will definitely let you know how regrettable your behavior of running away from school is!" Skye said bitterly.

She walked with Elsie a little anxiously, and almost didn't pay attention to the situation ahead when she turned the corner.

There were garrisons coming and going from Meryton, and these red uniforms rode very fast.A horse that suddenly appeared sideways was about to hit Skye.

On the contrary, Elsie was the one who discovered this scene earlier than Skye.But he widened his eyes and froze there.

"Be careful!" At the critical moment, Darcy quickly grabbed Skye's wrist, and Skye was holding Elsie.They went back in a row, narrowly avoiding the fast-moving horses.

"How did you go!" The attitude of the officers and soldiers on horseback was not very good.Nearly hitting people also makes him very nervous, especially if the people he hits include children and women.So all the anger went to Darcy's head.

Darcy was deaf to the country slang in his ears.He took care of Skye's situation first, making sure that both she and Elsie escaped the danger smoothly.Both of them were still a little shocked.

Darcy grabbed Skye's wrist awkwardly before letting go.

"Sorry! We're fine, I'm sorry..." It was Elsie who apologized.

Not long after he said this, Skye also recovered.She was very distressed that her younger brother was ignorant of interpersonal communication, and now he can help with some troublesome little things.This shows that he has suffered a lot along the way.

"You can leave now." Skye nodded to the red uniform, indicating that he could leave.

Elsie's eyes widened in surprise.He rarely saw Skye being condescending. In his memory, Skye was always calm and not talking, or speaking kindly.But this time, Skye didn't notice the horse running over, but she looked very proud, as if saying 'I forgive you'.

The man on horseback would have wanted to say something more.

When he saw Elsie talking, he only regarded these three people as an ordinary family of three.But when Skye spoke, he was very aggressive, and the gentleman standing behind also looked at him coldly after making sure his wife was fine, which was also very threatening.

The officers and soldiers finally swallowed a lot of harsh words, and rode away indignantly.

A small episode made Skye's anger diluted a lot.

Things about Elsie always made her very angry.But Elsie has always behaved well, and it is better not to be too judgmental when asking him.

Skye took a deep breath.She was just about to speak when Darcy stopped her.

"Skye, your current mood may not be suitable for communicating with Mr. Holt Jr. I think you should calm down and give him some time to relax." Darcy had to come out to persuade him a few words.

From the beginning in the coffee shop, the whole child's eyes have been on him.Mr. Holt Jr. has big eyes. Although he and Skye are siblings, they may have inherited the looks of their parents.Brother Skye's eyes are round, big and very cute.And Skye's eyes are narrow and deep, giving people a feeling that they are not easy to get close to when they are calm.

Darcy was not very resistant to either.

But he apparently ignored Elsie's curiosity.He was very curious about the man who appeared next to his sister.After all, Darcy looks at Skye very differently, and Skye's attitude towards Darcy is also a little subtle.

"My name is Elsie Holt. You can call me Mr. Holt, but not 'Little'. Or you can call me Elsie, that's what Skye calls me! "Elsie quickly degenerates into a sweet and innocent state in the presence of Skye.

Listening to him talking to Darcy in such a relaxed way, Skye had a premonition that the writing would not be good.After all, creatures like children are not easy to compromise, especially Elsie.Once he's sure you're harmless, it's easy to ask head-scratching questions.

Sure enough, Elsie's next question was: "What's your relationship with my sister?"

"Elsie!" Skye's voice rose a little. "You still have questions that you haven't explained to me. If I were you, I wouldn't ask questions like this."

Skye showed a very calm look.But in fact, she didn't dare to turn her head to look at Darcy standing beside her.She and Darcy originally sat in the cafe and chatted together as if they wanted to have some discussion on this issue.If this process had not been interrupted by Elsie, then the answer he wanted might have come out.

At this moment, the three of Skye stood at an intersection.She only felt that she was faced with this forked choice.What Darcy said would indirectly determine the direction she would walk in the future.

Darcy seems to think a little differently from Skye.

Darcy said to Elsie gently: "I'm Fitzwilliam Darcy. You can call me Fitzwilliam..." He glanced at Skye, and then said, "I'm your sister's friend."

"Just friends?" Elsie asked Darcy with wide eyes.He found a good way to deal with Darcy. This gentleman deliberately avoided his eyes, which just reflected the fact that he couldn't resist.

But what he didn't know was that Darcy simply felt that those big watery eyes, which were the same as those in his childhood, were a bit uncomfortable when looking at him like this.

Elsie is sure that Darcy is a man who likes children.And this tall man completely satisfied Elsie's imagination of her brother-in-law.What's more, if Skye and this Mr. Darcy are together, it is obviously much better than the deepening relationship with Wickham before.

Strictly speaking, this is not the first time Elsie has been homeless.But last time he had Skye with him, all the wanderings seemed to be separated by a thin layer of veil, and he didn't feel too much white-eyed and difficult.But this time, when he came out alone, he would know that there are deceptions and humiliating words in this world.Money is nowhere to go anywhere, and well-dressed and ignorant brings ruin.

These experiences made Elsie think differently when looking at problems.

"Maybe I have to ask Skye himself." Darcy felt a little embarrassed about this question.He can't speak for Skye, so he can only express his views vaguely.

Although Darcy liked children very much, everyone from the farmers in Pemberley to the children of friends of the same class were full of awe of him.This kind of awe is manifested in - when they politely ask him a question and get an answer, they will often quickly return to their parents without further inquiries.

"Obviously. We are just friends... Ordinary friends." Seeing that Elsie still wanted to ask questions, Skye couldn't hold back in the end. She patted Elsie's somewhat greasy hair, showing the majesty of her sister Say: "Stop asking questions. From now on, you can only speak declarative sentences."

Elsie was out and about for an unknown amount of time.He looked a lot darker and a lot thinner.

But Skye still only saw the external changes of his younger brother.What she didn't know was that the glutinous rice dumplings that were snowy and tender in the past, when they returned to her this time, not only did they look a little dark, but they changed from white dumplings to sesame dumplings.

Refraining from asking questions obviously does not bother Elsie, who is full of exploratory spirit.

His eyes rolled between Skye and Darcy for a moment.Skye didn't feel much yet, but Darcy felt that he was being looked at repeatedly.This made his walking posture a little stiff.

When you get to the next intersection.Darcy and Skye heard Elsie standing between them say softly: "I remember now. We seem to have a portrait of him in our house!"

She really has a big problem!wrong!of!younger brother!younger brother!
