[Pride and Prejudice] Crossing into Elizabeth

When Elizabeth heard this, everything became clear.

She took the door out, because she was worried that the sound of closing the door would disturb the people inside, so she just closed the door and left quietly.

Before coming here, I never expected to hear such a conversation.

Jane and Mr. Bingley actually quarreled about her and Mr. Darcy.

Jane meant that Mr. Bingley had selfish motives, but if he had, there was nothing wrong with that, and Elizabeth did not blame him at all.

On the contrary, Jane defended her like this, and Elizabeth was both moved and guilty, because her incident caused her to quarrel with Mr. Bingley, and Elizabeth felt very uncomfortable in her heart.

In addition, Mr. Bingley said that Mr. Darcy was very picky, and he didn't even like the Viscount's daughter. It was not difficult for Elizabeth to believe this.

Elizabeth was walking with her head sullen, while thinking about how to help Jane and Mr. Bingley calm down. In fact, she and Mr. Darcy are so far away. They haven't written a word yet. It's not worth it for them to quarrel over this matter. .

Besides, Mr. Darcy is no longer here, and I don't know how long it will be until we meet again.

It is not that Elizabeth has no idea about Mr. Darcy, nor does she have to do something with him. The society of the nineteenth century had many restrictions on women in the upper class, and she was not allowed to do anything on her own initiative.

Moreover, Mr. Darcy's conditions are there. As far as her family's situation is concerned, it is simply not acceptable to others.

Elizabeth just thought about taking one step at a time.

Elizabeth doesn't know where to go now, she definitely can't go to Jane's side, and she doesn't want to stay in the room alone, it's not bad enough to think about Missy when the time comes, Lydia's Elizabeth would never go to the room, it must be a mess right now, and Lydia must be talking about how her things are, and Elizabeth doesn't want to take the initiative to suffer.

While hesitating, Elizabeth suddenly remembered the studio on the second floor.

Last time, because Miss Anne's letter was delivered suddenly, she couldn't read it carefully... The main reason is that she hasn't seen Mr. Darcy's portrait yet.

His parents', and his sister's Elizabeth, had been seen, except Mr. Darcy's own portrait which she had not had time to see.

Elizabeth immediately went to the studio. They will leave here tomorrow, and there is no chance if they don't look at it again.

Elizabeth walked to the studio according to her memory, but the Darcy brothers and sisters brought her here last time. She only remembered turning a few corners at that time, and did not deliberately remember the specific route.

Moreover, the corridors of Pemberley extend in all directions, and each one looks similar. Elizabeth has been recuperating in her room for half a month, and is not familiar with the layout of Pemberley Building.

After turning several corners, Elizabeth didn't touch the door of the studio, but she was a little dizzy.

Fortunately, a maid just came over, and Elizabeth finally found the place under her guidance.

Portraits hung neatly on the wall in the room Mr. Darcy had brought her to.

Elizabeth felt that these portraits were not arranged regularly. For example, the portraits of Mr. Darcy's parents were not hung together, and the portraits of Miss Darcy were even far away from the portraits of the late Darcy couple. Elizabeth was the nearest from the door. I started looking for the portraits one by one.

After skimming through a dozen or so copies, Elizabeth finally found it, and found that it was a portrait very much like Mr. Darcy.

His eyes were deep and bright, and there was a slight smile on his face.

Elizabeth remembered that Mr. Darcy used to look at her with that smile on his face.

Elizabeth stood in front of the portrait for a long time, and when she was about to leave, the soles of her feet felt a little numb.

When she walked to the door, Elizabeth looked back again. At this moment, she suddenly missed her mobile phone. It would be great if she had a mobile phone now, then she could take a picture of Mr. Darcy. Just look, no one knows yet.

Elizabeth walked slowly to her room.

After making several turns, she slowly returned to the corridor of her room. Elizabeth was walking slowly, but it was strange. She saw a maid in uniform coming out of a room from a distance, and then panicked. In a panic, he ran away in the other direction.

The maid was really strange, mainly because she didn't have cleaning tools in her hand, she didn't look like she came to clean the house, and she ran away in such a panic.

And the room that the man came out of just now seemed to be her room.

Because Elizabeth was quite far away, she wasn't sure yet. She quickly took two steps forward, and then she was sure that the person had indeed left her room just now.

Elizabeth speeded up and walked quickly to the door of her room.

As soon as the door was opened, Elizabeth froze for a moment.

She was obviously stolen.

Skirts, linings, corsets and so on were tossed all over the floor. Sophia had already packed these clothes for her. If there were no accidents, they should be lying neatly in the suitcase on the ground at this moment.

At this moment, the suitcase was also wide open, and there was still a pajamas inside that hadn't been emptied out, but obviously this pajamas had also been searched, just because this pajamas were pressed at the bottom of the suitcase, and when they found this When I was in pajamas, there was nothing in the suitcase, so that person threw it where it was.

Elizabeth searched among the tossed clothes. Her jewelry box and a small purse were also put in the suitcase.

She didn't find these two things, and they were stolen.

Elizabeth let out a long breath and sat down on the edge of the bed.

The lost things were not worth a lot of money. Those jewelry were not many, nor expensive, and there were only a few guineas in the wallet.

It's just the fact that it's annoying.

Elizabeth looked into the room, and the drawers in the room had also been turned over. The maid who was stealing was obviously in a hurry, and the drawers were pulled open unevenly.

The day before they were going to leave Pemberley, they were met by thieves at someone's house.

Elizabeth was having a headache, and Lydia and Sophia came in together.

Lydia came in and complained that Sophia would not pack her things, "...my things can be put in my own suitcase," Lydia grumbled and complained, "Just do what I say But Sophia doesn't do that, she insists that I have too many things, let me put the extra part here with you, I..."

Lydia's complaints stopped suddenly, and she stared at the clothes thrown on the floor with wide eyes.

Sophia, who came in after her, was also dumbfounded.

"Oh my god, what's the matter?" Sophia yelled after she realized it, "Miss Elizabeth, why did you throw your clothes all over the place? Didn't we just put them on in the morning? What's going on... Are you looking for something?"

Elizabeth was afraid that they would be heard when they cried out, so she hurried over and closed the door, and then told them that her room had just been visited by thieves.

Sophia was even more surprised now. She opened her mouth wide and couldn't speak for a while. She looked at the messy clothes on the floor, and then quickly looked around the room. Soon she also found that the drawers were all covered. Pulled open, ragged and open, looking messy.

This is indeed a case of being patronized by thieves.

Lydia also looked at the situation of the room, and she quickly yelled, "Who did this? God, Lizzie, look what your room has been turned into? This person also How audacious to come into our room and steal! No, we must tell Mrs. Reynolds at once, and let her find the thief."

Lydia said that she was about to go out, but Elizabeth quickly stopped her.

"It must not be known to the people at Pemberley."

"……what?"

Lydia was taken aback by Elizabeth's words. At first she thought she had heard it wrong, but the look on Elizabeth's face told her it was true. Lydia was inexplicable, why didn't Elizabeth let her tell Renault Mrs. Z?They were stolen by others, and they didn't steal from others, so why can't people know about it?

Lydia asked back: "Why are you stopping me? If we don't tell Mrs. Reynolds, how can she help us catch the thief?"

Elizabeth patiently explained to her: "I don't want you to tell Mrs. Reynolds that it's not for the thief, but for Mr. Darcy. We came to someone's house as a guest, but we were stolen by the servants in the house. It's revealed It will embarrass Mr. Darcy. And I was sick this time thanks to Mr. Darcy's help to recover, and I just happened to catch thieves everywhere in other people's houses. Is it plausible?"

Elizabeth guessed that the thief was also aware of this point, knowing that they were not good at talking about it, so he dared to come to her to steal things.

Lydia was very angry, and she said angrily, "Are we going to let this go?"

"I didn't lose much anyway," Elizabeth tried to reassure Lydia, "I just lost a pair of earrings and some change."

While they were talking, Sophia had already started packing the clothes again. She picked up the clothes on the floor one by one, and Elizabeth also went to help fold the clothes. Both of them moved very quickly, and after a while, the clothes were folded neatly again Tidy up.

But Lydia was even angrier than her. She sat on the side angrily, and occasionally said angrily: "You guys have the leisure to pack up your clothes! I'm about to die of rage! Isn't this an obvious bully?" Us? Hmph, I wish I could find out the thief in public and make her feel ashamed!"

Elizabeth ignored Lydia's words. Lydia and Mrs. Bennet have very similar personalities. If she talks to her at this time, she will be endless.

After Lydia finished speaking, she was about to run out as if she was still out of breath.

Elizabeth was afraid that she would go to Mrs. Reynolds, so she hurried over to stop her and asked, "Where are you going, Lydia?"

Lydia pushed her hand away, "I'm going next door and talking to Jane about this," she said angrily, "This is too bullying."

As she said that, she went out. Elizabeth was worried, and followed her out of the room. She saw with her own eyes that she really went to Jane's room before returning.

When they came back, Sophia packed up the few remaining clothes. Sophia reached out and picked up the pajamas in the suitcase. This pajamas were also messed up by the thief and had to be folded again. .

Seeing that the clothes were all packed, Elizabeth pushed the drawers back to their original positions one by one, without paying attention to Sophia.

She didn't tell Lydia and the others about today's matter. They only knew that she was too far away at the time and couldn't see the man's face clearly. Elizabeth did not see the man clearly, but she recognized the man. The uniform on his body, here in Pemberley, the uniforms are not only different for men and women, but also the maids in different positions are dressed differently, the man is clearly wearing the uniform of the kitchen.

Missy wore that uniform.

Elizabeth suspected that Missy did it. After all, the timing was too coincidental. She had just rejected Missy in the morning, and they broke up in such an unpleasant way, and then she was caught by a thief.

It would be too coincidental to say it was a coincidence.

However, although Elizabeth had doubts in her heart, she couldn't tell Sophia and the others clearly. If she said she doubted Missy, she would have to tell about the conversation she had with Missy in the morning.

Missy dared to come here and tell her that kind of thing, but Elizabeth was ashamed to tell others.

Besides, since she didn't want to make a fuss about it and embarrass Mr. Darcy, there was no need to tell it.

Just as Elizabeth was thinking about her own thoughts, Sophia yelled "Oh my God".

Elizabeth looked over to Sophia. Sophia spread her white pajamas in the air. The pajamas covered half of Sophia's face, but Elizabeth could still see Sophia's surprised look.

"……what's wrong?"

After speaking, Elizabeth walked over, and soon the side of the pajamas was exposed in front of her.

This pajamas are made of silk, which is a very soft material, and because it is pure white, it looks softer, but now the pajamas have been cut seven or eight times in all directions, and the whole side is torn. broken.
