[Pride and Prejudice] Crossing into Elizabeth

Mrs. Reynolds came out of the living-room on the first floor, and went back to the drawing-room to go up the stairs, as she was going to Elizabeth's room.

Miss Bingley wondered what Mr. Darcy had said to Mrs. Reynolds, and nothing should be lost for a moment.

Seeing Mrs. Reynolds coming out, she wanted to ask her. Unexpectedly, although she was walking in this direction, she did not come to look for them, but seemed to be going up the stairs. Miss Bingley ran after her and asked.

"Mrs. Reynolds, where are you going?"

"I'm going to see Miss Bennet."

"Did Mr. Darcy let you go? Didn't he just tell you that?"

Mrs. Reynolds smiled politely, and said only: "Mr. Darcy told me something, Miss Bingley, if there is nothing else, I will go up first." After finishing speaking, she bowed and walked upstairs.

She only said that Mr. Darcy had confessed some things, but did not say whether the things he confessed were related to Elizabeth.

Miss Bingley didn't ask what she wanted to know, and she was very unconvinced.

But Miss Bingley can't do anything about it. It's not a day or two since the housekeeper's wife has treated her like this. When she was a guest at Pemberley, she once gave this lady some small presents, hoping that she would do it for her in front of Mr. Darcy. A few good words, but no avail, Mrs. Reynolds was always polite and repulsive to her.

Miss Bingley thought bitterly in her heart, when she becomes the mistress of Pemberley, let's see if she dares to be so arrogant!

But what had Mr. Darcy said?

Miss Bingley glanced in the direction Mrs. Reynolds was leaving, and felt that it might have something to do with Elizabeth, otherwise Mrs. Reynolds would not have rushed to her as soon as she went out.

Thinking of this, Miss Bingley hesitated.

Originally, she had been persuaded by Louisa and decided to leave here with Mr. Hurst. Anyway, she dared not enter Elizabeth's room. Taking advantage of Elizabeth's sudden illness, she planned to show her performance in front of Mr. Darcy. It was completely ruined.

But Mr. Darcy seems to be quite concerned about Elizabeth's illness. If she leaves like this, will she leave a bad impression on him?

Miss Bingley could not make up her mind, so she spoke to Louisa.

Mrs. Hurst immediately glared at her, "What are you thinking, dear sister?" Mrs. Hurst wanted to scold her loudly, but she was afraid of disturbing Mr. Darcy, so she could only speak in a low voice, "You Even if you marry Mr. Darcy, you have to guarantee your life first! If you stay here, if you are infected with pneumonia by the person upstairs, you are dead, so why marry Mr. Darcy?"

Miss Bingley was a little flustered by the words, and struggled to say: "But Mr. Darcy seems to care about Elizabeth."

"Nonsense!" The older sister gave her a blank look, "If Elizabeth suddenly fell ill at your house, and you invited her here, or your good friend's wife and sister, can you kick her out? You must not let anyone Take good care of it?"

Miss Bingley thought it was the same reason, and she was persuaded by her sister again, but she still felt a little uneasy, and looked anxiously at the room Mr. Darcy entered.

I don't know what Mr. Darcy is doing there. Mrs. Reynolds has gone upstairs, but he still hasn't come out.

When Miss Bingley was looking forward to see through, Mr. Darcy finally came out.

He walked towards them quickly, and Miss Bingley went up to meet them and said: "Mr. Darcy, you can figure it out. I was worried just now. I don't know if you have any important things to do, and I don't know if you need it." Let's help, you know me and Louisa are very happy to help, I was talking to Louisa about this just now, wasn't it Louisa?"

"Oh, that's true."

After Mrs. Hurst spoke, she suddenly thought of Elizabeth upstairs, and thought of Caroline just saying that Mr. Darcy was very concerned about Elizabeth's illness, and suddenly she was very afraid that Mr. Darcy would ask them to do something related to the patient.

She immediately said as if to remedy something: "But I'm afraid we can't be of much help, Mr. Darcy, you must remember that we were about to tell you something just now, but you just happened to have something urgent to tell you." Mrs Reynolds said."

Miss Bingley gave her sister a sideways look. She had no objection to leaving with her sister now, but Louisa's words were too blunt just now, as if she was afraid that Mr. Darcy would really bother them.

Mrs. Hurst pretended not to see her sister staring at her, and quickly went on to say: "I'm afraid we can't continue to be guests in Pemberley. Mr. Hurst just received a letter this morning. The letter is from London. They said that we were met by thieves just after we left the house, and we were anxious to go back and have a look, the sooner the better, we discussed it just now and decided to leave today."

She originally wanted Charles to speak for them, but she was afraid that Caroline would ruin the matter if there was a delay, so she decided to decide it herself.

As for being burglarized at home, it was just an excuse she made up casually.

Mr. Darcy nodded with a flat face, as if he believed it, and asked, "So that's the case, are you all going?"

Mr. Bingley stood aside and remained silent until he said, "Of course I want to stay here."

Mrs. Hearst also said: "Charles will stay here, and I, Caroline, and Mr. Hearst will go." She smiled apologetically at her younger brother who was standing aside.

They were going to leave suddenly this time, and Charles objected the most. In fact, she couldn't understand in her heart that they felt sorry for Jane and Charles, especially for making it difficult for Charles to be a man in front of his new wife.

Mrs. Hurst sighed in her heart, but she couldn't help it. If she wanted to blame it, she could blame their family for the bad luck that happened to Elizabeth.

She glanced at Charles again, thinking that she must make up for him in the future, and Mrs. Hurst was happy again when she thought about it.

Mr. Darcy quickly said: "Since this is the case, I can't keep you. If you need help, you can ask Georgiana." He turned his head and said to Miss Darcy: "Georgiana, Pay attention to see if there is anything Mrs. Hurst can help you with."

Miss Darcy agreed.

"My dear Georgiana," said Miss Bingley, coming forward and taking Miss Darcy's arm affectionately, "I cannot bear to leave you, and I would like to spend this Christmas with you with all my heart, if it hadn't been for something like this in Louisa's house." I will not go away under any circumstances, you do not know how much I will miss you, alas, I do not want to go, dear Georgiana, you must write to me as soon as possible."

Miss Darcy hesitated before saying: "Oh, Caroline, I'll write to you."

She agreed to Caroline, but she had some doubts about Caroline's words in her heart. She knew that Caroline was not leaving suddenly because of a thief at home. She was afraid that Miss Elizabeth would infect her.

She knew that Caroline had lied, and she couldn't help feeling suspicious of another part of her words. She didn't know whether Caroline really liked her as she said.

Miss Darcy thought sadly that if what happened to Miss Elizabeth happened to her today, maybe Caroline would leave as soon as she said it.

Thinking about it this way, Miss Darcy looked a little sad, and Miss Bingley thought that Miss Darcy was reluctant to let her go, and said a lot of sweet words, but Miss Darcy had some doubts in her heart even though she didn't say anything. , I don't know whether to believe it or not.

Mrs. Hurst had sent her servants to pack her luggage, and she wanted to leave as soon as it was dawn, so as not to have long nights and dreams.She didn't have anything to do, so she simply sat down with the others in the living room, because she had already made an appointment with the master to leave, and she didn't feel any burden in her heart.

Mr. Hurst had been lying on the sofa for a long time. He was afraid of being infected with pneumonia, so he wanted to leave quickly, but the thought of going out and suffering in such a ghostly weather made him feel bad. Mr. Hurst felt that his trip Enough of bad luck, enough of sin.

Mr. Darcy was disgusted to see them like this, and did not want to stay with them for a moment.

He was concerned about Elizabeth's illness, and wanted to go up to check on the situation, so he said he had something to do, and he left them soon. Before leaving, he told his sister to take good care of the guests, which was considered as a kindness of the landlord.

Mr. Darcy went to Elizabeth's room, and when he was about to reach the door, the door was suddenly opened by someone inside, and a maid came out in a hurry. Mr. Darcy was startled, did something happen to Miss Elizabeth? ?

Mr. Darcy asked in a deep voice: "Is there something wrong inside?"

"The patient has just woken up," said the maid, with ease and joy in her tone, "she has just opened her eyes, Mr. Darcy, I am going to inform you, and Dr. Pogue, Bingley Madame told me to ask Dr. Pogue to come over and have a look."

Mr. Darcy froze for a moment, a little in disbelief.

Suddenly the door was opened from the inside again, and it was Mrs. Reynolds who came out this time, and she seemed to be relieved. Seeing that the housekeeper had also come out, the maid ran to inform the doctor with a smile.

Mrs. Reynolds didn't expect Mr. Darcy to come so quickly, and she was startled. She reacted quickly and said, "Have you heard, Mr. Darcy? Miss Elizabeth woke up. I didn't expect her to wake up so quickly." , I’m going to inform the kitchen as soon as possible, and let them prepare some easy-to-digest food for delivery.”

Mr. Darcy secretly praised Mrs. Reynolds for her thoughtfulness, and he quickly turned sideways to let Mrs. Reynolds pass. As soon as Mrs. Reynolds passed, he immediately opened the door and went in.

The author has something to say: Well, even a simple person like Miss Darcy can see that Miss Bingley is not trustworthy ╯_╰

Miss Bingley is leaving, only Darcy and Elizabeth are left in Pemberley (Others: Are we not human beings!)
