[Pride and Prejudice] Crossing into Elizabeth

Elizabeth was taken aback.

Sophia also looked horrified. After the shock, Sophia became a little scared, stealing things was fine, why did she tear up other people's clothes like this?What does this mean?

Sophia said to Elizabeth with some fear: "...Miss, don't you offend someone here?"

Elizabeth's eyes were heavy, so there was no need to think about it, she was only suspicious of Missy before, but now she can be sure that she did it.

There might be other people who will see Cai and make up their minds, but there is no one else who hates her so much except Missy.

Sophia, however, became more and more frightened as she thought about it, that person was so bad, Miss Elizabeth missed her by a step, but she really ran into her in the room, and she didn't know what she was going to do.

Elizabeth regained her composure, and she found that Sophia was very confused, and was about to comfort Sophia, but Sophia seemed to have made up her mind suddenly, and she suddenly said: "Miss Elizabeth, this matter can't be left alone, This man is too vicious, and you didn't meet him face to face, and if you did, something might happen! We must tell Mrs. Reynolds about it."

Elizabeth was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly.

It is really necessary to tell Mrs. Reynolds about this matter. The main reason is that Missy is too bad. If such a person is allowed to stay in Pemberley, I don’t know how Pemberley will be harmed by her.

Missy just stole something, she could bear it, but in this situation, if she kept it a secret, it would harm Mr. Darcy.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, "... Lizzie, can we come in?"

It was Jane's voice.

Elizabeth's heart skipped a beat.

She made a quick calculation. Jane came here after hearing the news from Lydia. They don't know about the pajamas yet, and Elizabeth doesn't want them to know. The main reason is that she doesn't want to make this matter worse. Whispered to Mrs. Reynolds and let Mrs. Reynolds deal with it quietly.

It's perfectly possible to get things sorted out without attracting attention.

If you want to do this, you can't let too many people know about it, especially Lydia, she can't control her mouth, if you let her know about the pajamas, you have to tell her about it.

Jane was still knocking on the door outside, and there was Lydia's voice, and Lydia asked impatiently if she was in the room, Elizabeth hurriedly pressed her pajamas under other clothes, Confidently told Sophia: "Don't tell them about the pajamas, I will take care of it."

Sophia looked at Elizabeth inexplicably. Miss Elizabeth agreed to tell Mrs. Reynolds just now. Why did she not let her tell Miss Jane about them all of a sudden?

But Elizabeth didn't have time to say anything else, and Lydia outside opened the door, "What's the matter with you?" Lydia shouted impatiently, "We didn't give a response, and we knocked on the door for a long time. .”

Elizabeth said vaguely that she was packing her clothes just now.

When speaking, Elizabeth looked into Jane's eyes without any trace.

Her eyes were not swollen, so she probably hadn't cried a lot, but her eyes were slightly red.

Jane didn't know that Elizabeth was watching her, but she just said with concern: "Lizzie, I heard Lydia said, I really didn't expect such a thing to happen! I heard that you are only missing a pair of earrings and some change? Nothing else was stolen?"

"No," Elizabeth said lightly, "the ones that were stolen weren't worth much."

Elizabeth was afraid that Sophia would tell about the pajamas, so she kept paying attention to her. As expected, Sophia seemed hesitant to speak when she heard this, and Elizabeth quickly gave her a wink to tell her not to speak.

Sophia reluctantly walked aside.

While talking, someone knocked on the door again, Sophia came and opened the door, and it was Miss Darcy who came in.

She didn't come alone, and there was a maid behind her, who was holding a tray with a light yellow dress on it.

As soon as Elizabeth saw the dress, she quickly remembered that it was Lady Catherine who took them out to buy it.

Originally, Mrs. Catherine told the shopkeeper that she would pick it up before Christmas. Unexpectedly, she fell ill when she came back, and Mrs. Catherine also went home, so the matter was shelved.

If Miss Darcy had not sent the dress again, Elizabeth would have forgotten the matter.

Miss Darcy asked the maid to put the dress on her bed.

"Before I forgot to get my clothes back," Miss Darcy said shyly, "Fortunately, I remembered this early this morning, so I hurried to get them, otherwise it would be too late for you Take it home."

Elizabeth thought of something else: "We made exactly the same clothes at the time, and we were going to wear them together at Christmas."

Maybe it was because she was about to leave here soon, and Elizabeth felt very regretful when she said this.

Can't help but say: "It's a pity, there will be no such opportunity in the future."

Miss Darcy also seemed to be a little touched, so she took Elizabeth's hand and said, "I hope to meet again in the future."

Elizabeth was about to say something, but Lydia suddenly yelled: "Oh, this dress is so beautiful! And these furs, so soft and warm! Lizzie, Lady Catherine is so kind to you, and even takes you I wanted to go out to buy clothes, but Madam Catherine didn't take me there."

When Miss Darcy was talking to Elizabeth just now, Lydia slipped to the newly delivered clothes. When Elizabeth followed her reputation, she saw that the clothes had been spread out on the bed by Lydia. His hands were still touching the fur on the collar of his clothes.

Miss Darcy glanced at Lydia and then looked away. She was still as before, with a shy smile on her face, and she said nothing.

Elizabeth sighed a little. She is usually a 15-year-old girl. Why is there such a big gap between her sister Lydia and Miss Darcy?

Miss Darcy soon asked what time they intended to start tomorrow, and Jane told Miss Darcy that they would leave after breakfast.

This time was discussed by them a long time ago. They can travel more if they set off after breakfast. If they leave late, they will have to stay in the hotel before dark.

Miss Darcy also understood this truth, and instead of persuading them to leave later, she only wished them a good journey.

After Elizabeth sent Miss Darcy away, she told Jane again what she had just explained to Lydia, and told Jane not to reveal the fact that she had been thieves here.

Sophia looked at her very dissatisfied after hearing this, and Elizabeth gave her a calm look.

Jane felt that Elizabeth handled the matter in a very appropriate way. She was a sensible person. Besides, what Elizabeth said had been told to her by Lydia angrily just now, so Jane was not surprised.

Jane just came to see how Elizabeth was doing, and she was relieved if there was nothing else to do.

On the other hand, Lydia was not worrying. Elizabeth was most worried that the matter would leak out of her mouth, so she analyzed the stakes in it to Lydia again, and repeatedly asked her not to tell the matter. Jane was also helping to persuade Lydia. Although Lydia was very reluctant to do this, she reluctantly agreed.

Jane and Lydia both went out afterwards, and as soon as they left, Elizabeth sat on the head of the bed as if relieved.

Sophia, as if she was afraid that she would be fooled, immediately reminded her: "Miss Elizabeth, you promised me to tell Mrs. Reynolds about this."

Elizabeth sighed slowly, it was also a headache.

Elizabeth felt dizzy at the thought of telling Mrs. Reynolds the whole story, and repeating to Mrs. Reynolds what Missy had said to her.

It was obvious that Missy did the things, Missy said the words, and didn't do her business, but when Elizabeth thought of telling the housekeeper of Pemberley, her face was burning hot, and she felt like she couldn't see anyone. like.

. . . Mrs. Reynolds was sure to pass the matter on to Mr. Darcy in the future, and the thought of it made Elizabeth wish she had fainted.

Is God playing with her?

Let her be so ashamed!

Sophia was still staring at her, and Elizabeth said weakly under Sophia's urging eyes: "Then trouble you to go and invite Mrs. Reynolds here."

Sophia went right away, so fast, as if she was afraid that she would go back on her word.

Mrs. Reynolds came over soon. After entering the door, she saw the open suitcase on the ground. The suitcase was empty, but there were piles of folded clothes on the bed, which looked a little messy at first glance.

Mrs. Reynolds was surprised. The main reason is that this Miss Bennet is quite particular about her life. Why did she call her here when the luggage was half packed?

When Mrs. Reynolds came over, she was quite puzzled. Miss Bennett's maid suddenly went to find her, saying that Miss Bennett had something to ask her to come over. When Mrs. Reynolds came over, she casually asked what was the matter. The maid who came to call for someone hesitated, and Mrs. Reynolds felt a little strange at that time.

Although the maid hesitated, she didn't panic, and she didn't seem to be in a hurry.

But Mrs. Reynolds didn't dare to neglect this young lady, and came over as soon as she heard her calling for someone.

Who knew that when they came in, they would see such a chaotic situation.

"...Miss Elizabeth," Mrs. Reynolds said thoughtfully, "do you want me to send two people over to help pack?"

Elizabeth knew that the bed full of clothes had misunderstood Mrs. Reynolds. She just wanted to explain the matter clearly to Mrs. Reynolds, so she didn't worry so much, but her room was indeed quite messy. Elizabeth blushed slightly and said: " No, thank you for your kindness, Mrs. Reynolds . . . I came here for something else."

Mrs. Reynolds looked at Elizabeth questioningly.

Elizabeth invited Mrs. Reynolds to a chair and sat down. The door was closed when Sophia came in, and Elizabeth could speak with confidence.

Elizabeth could tell that Mrs. Reynolds was wondering. To the confused housekeeper, Elizabeth really didn't know where to start.

She cleared her throat before saying, "Mrs. Reynolds, actually, Sophia packed all my luggage this morning. These clothes," she glanced at where the clothes were put on the bed, "I put them in the suitcase this morning. .”

Under Mrs. Reynolds' strange gaze, Elizabeth continued: "Later Missy came to see me, and she had something to say to me... After Missy left, I also went out of the room, and when I came back, I found that the original The packed clothes were turned out of the suitcase again."

Mrs. Reynolds' expression became serious, and Elizabeth said vigorously: "The clothes were turned out and thrown all over the floor, and the drawers in the room were also turned over..."

Elizabeth was about to speak vigorously, but Mrs. Reynolds interrupted her. "You mean," Mrs. Reynolds frowned and asked her very seriously, "someone came in and stole something?"

Elizabeth answered her in the affirmative: "Yes."

Mrs. Reynolds frowned and looked around. Elizabeth knew that she wanted to look at the drawers she was talking about. Elizabeth quickly told her: "I have pushed the drawers back, and Sophia and I picked up and folded the clothes on the ground together. Well, I didn't want to tell you about that..."

At this point, Elizabeth was interrupted again, and Mrs. Reynolds asked her in surprise mixed with reproach: "You don't want to tell me? How can you not tell me?"

Under the eyes of Mrs. Reynolds, Elizabeth lowered her head in embarrassment. After Mrs. Reynolds said this straightforwardly, she quickly understood Elizabeth's difficulties. As guests, they are guests in other people's homes It's really embarrassing to encounter such a thing.

Mrs. Reynolds also sighed and said: "...Miss Elizabeth, you really shouldn't think so, of course you have to tell me about this."
