[Pride and Prejudice] Crossing into Elizabeth

When Mr. Darcy had finished speaking, he went straight out to write his letter without delay.

Jane was tired from crying, and was helped to sit down by Mrs. Reynolds and Mr. Bingley.

At this time, it had been an hour since Elizabeth's condition was discovered, and it was getting brighter again.The other guests of Pemberley also got up one after another. At this time, Elizabeth's illness had already spread among the servants, so the guests all knew about it when they woke up.

Mother Catherine and sister Bingley both came to visit Elizabeth.

Although Elizabeth's room was large, it seemed cramped when so many people came in at once.

Mr. Darcy finished writing the letter quickly, and came in haste again.He didn't expect that so many people came here after he had only been walking for a short while, and the room was full. Although everyone was very sensible and no one was making noise, Darcy still felt restless.

But Miss Bingley came up to meet her. "Mr. Darcy," she said, "I didn't expect Miss Elizabeth to be ill suddenly. Have you heard about it?"

She had just come, and seeing Mr. Darcy coming in a hurry, she thought that Mr. Darcy had just come too.

Mr. Darcy didn't want to explain anything to her, so he nodded coldly, saying that he already knew it, and then said to everyone: "This room is too small, everyone should go to the living room outside, so as not to cause poor air circulation." , hindering the patient."

The host said so, and everyone went out one after another. Originally, they had just met Elizabeth, and they only had a little friendship with each other. Most of them came here out of politeness. Seeing Elizabeth suddenly become like this , Although I was concerned in my heart, I didn't feel anxious.

Everyone went out, but Miss Bingley intentionally left behind. Seeing that Mr. Darcy had no intention of going out, she went over and said, "Mr. Darcy, are you not going out?"

Mr. Darcy wanted to get rid of these irrelevant people quickly, but Miss Bingley came to pester him again. Mr. Darcy felt that his patience with Miss Bingley was about to be exhausted. He said briefly and coldly: "I have something to do, You go out first."

After he said this, he ignored Miss Bingley. Mr. Darcy walked quickly to Mrs. Reynolds, handed the written letter to her, and said: "Please send a manservant to deliver the letter now, and let him Be sure to deliver the letter to Dr. Carlos, prepare the fastest and best horse for the messenger, and let him go and return quickly."

Miss Bingley was very surprised when she heard these words. It turned out that Darcy had known about Elizabeth for a long time, and he was so eager to send for Dr. Carlos. This doctor, Miss Bingley, knew about it. A very famous doctor, but Mr. Darcy was quite interested in this matter.

She had taken it for granted that Mr. Darcy, like herself, had only a moral concern for Elizabeth.

Miss Bingley thought for a while, and she didn't plan to go out. She came back and came to Jane's side. "Charles," Miss Bingley said to her brother, "you should go out. It is more convenient for me to stay here to take care of the patients." As she spoke, she glanced at Mr. Darcy, wondering how Mr. Darcy would react.

She felt privately that it would certainly make a good impression on Mr. Darcy.

Who knew that Mr. Darcy was expressionless as if he hadn't heard it.

Mr. Bingley didn't want to go out. He was worried that Jane would be here alone, so he wanted Caroline to leave.

But Miss Bingley has already made up her mind, no matter what others say, she will not leave, she must stay and take care of the patient, she looked around, and finally chose Sophia who was standing aside, Miss Bingley said in a very concerned tone Ask her: "Why did Miss Elizabeth suddenly burn like this? Were there no signs last night? I heard that a nearby doctor has been called? When will the doctor arrive?"

When Sophia answered Miss Bingley, she thought of another matter. After answering Miss Bingley's question, she asked Jane: "Miss Lydia doesn't know about Miss Elizabeth yet. She should be still sleeping. Do you want to put it on?" She wakes up?"

Jane just cried a lot, as if her heart was going to be hollowed out, after hearing Sophia's words, she froze for a moment before slowly shaking her head: "No, let her sleep, she won't be of much help if she comes here. "

She had just finished speaking to Sophia when she suddenly saw a figure walking in from the outside. Jane lowered her eyes and saw a skirt first. She thought it was Lydia coming, but when she looked up, she realized Miss Darcy.

As soon as Miss Darcy appeared, her brother said to her flatly, implying that she had only come here now.

Miss Darcy was blushing because of this. She knew that other people had already visited Miss Elizabeth. To come from her room, you need to go through the living room on the second floor. It was the room that Lady Catherine and the others just passed. Darcy When the lady passed by, they asked a few words.

As the host, she was the last one to come.

Miss Darcy was already feeling sorry for herself, but she felt very disturbed when her brother said that.

In fact, she didn't intend to do this. Miss Darcy fell asleep in the middle of the night last night. At first, she was thinking about things and didn't want to sleep. She noticed the strangeness of her aunt Catherine and her cousin Anne, and she wanted to follow the clues of the matter to sort it out. After a while, she lay on the bed and thought about it for two hours. She vaguely felt that the matter had something to do with her brother, but she hadn't fully figured out the details of the matter, so she felt sleepy, but it was strange, although The body is tired, but I just can't fall asleep after tossing and turning.

After tossing and tossing until midnight, I finally fell asleep. The sleep was very heavy, and I didn't wake up until just now. Unexpectedly, Miss Elizabeth fell ill suddenly.

Miss Darcy resented in her heart that last night's wild thinking had caused her to be so ugly.

She swore secretly in her heart that she would never think about it when she went to sleep again, and never make such jokes again.

Miss Darcy blushed and went to the bedside to look at Elizabeth. She had just heard about the patient's condition, and she was not surprised to see Miss Elizabeth like this, but Miss Elizabeth's fever was really bad. Miss Darcy felt that the patient's His face seemed to be steaming all the time.

She had just patronized herself and was ashamed, and before she had time to think about anything else, Miss Darcy looked around carefully. Everyone looked preoccupied, and Miss Darcy also became afraid.

Seeing Mrs. Reynolds there, she went over and asked in a low voice.

Miss Darcy's voice was very small, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that every word Miss Darcy said was sincere.Jane saw how much the Darcy brothers and sisters cared for Elizabeth. She didn't know how much she was grateful to the brothers and sisters, but she couldn't say a word.

After staying up for a long time, Jane felt that many hours had passed, when suddenly she heard a rush of footsteps coming from the corridor outside.

Jane stood up excitedly, Dr. Pogue must have arrived.

Everyone felt refreshed. Everyone heard Miss Bingley let out a sigh of relief. Miss Bingley said exaggeratedly: "The doctor has finally arrived. If I don't come, I'm going to die of panic." Walk in the direction of the door, and prepare to be the first to welcome the doctor in.

Mrs. Reynolds also hurried over to meet Dr. Pogue.

Mr. Darcy stood still in the bedroom, and Dr. Pogue came into the bedroom quickly surrounded by Miss Bingley. Mr. Darcy shook hands with Dr. Pogue, and quickly moved out of the way to let Dr. Pogue go as soon as possible. diagnosis and treatment.

Because Mrs. Reynolds told Mrs. Reynolds that Mrs. Reynolds had told the manservant John who was sent to invite someone about Miss Elizabeth’s illness in advance, and Mrs. Reynolds also asked him to tell the doctor first, so that the doctor could have a clear idea first, so Dr. Pogue On the way here, I have roughly understood the patient's situation.

When Dr. Pogue saw that the condition of the sick lady was as he had been told in advance, he took out the stethoscope without asking anything else.

He listened carefully to the patient's heartbeat and then to the patient's lungs.

Put away the stethoscope after listening.

When everyone saw that Dr. Pogue put away the stethoscope, they knew that a preliminary diagnosis had been made. Mr. Darcy immediately asked, "Doctor Pogue, how is the patient doing now?"
