[Pride and Prejudice] Crossing into Elizabeth

Mr. Bennet waved Mr. Darcy to sit down, and he quickly sat down opposite Mr. Darcy, and Mr. Darcy sat down after Mr. Bennet sat down.

Mr. Bennet said politely: "Mr. Darcy, I have kept you waiting."

As soon as this remark came out, Elizabeth and the others were a little astonished, and even Charlotte showed a look of surprise, mainly because Mr. Bennett was a bit of a eccentric person. courtesy.

Mrs. Bennet was also a little surprised. Usually when there are guests at home, it would be nice to invite Mr. Bennet out. I want him to greet people in the same manner as other hostesses, unless the sun comes out from the east .

When everyone looked at Mr. Bennet with doubts, Mr. Darcy, who was not familiar with Mr. Bennet, couldn't feel anything, so he politely replied that he also just arrived.

Mr. Bennet went on to say: "Mr. Darcy, I'm afraid I was a little rude before, and I didn't thank you properly for Lizzie, but I just learned the details of this. I heard Lizzie said that you did it for her Did you send a doctor from London specifically?"

Mr. Darcy replied yes, and then said: "But this is what I should do. I have the responsibility to take good care of the guests at home. Mr. Bennet, please don't take it to heart."

Mr. Bennet smiled: "You saved my daughter's life, how can I not take it to heart?"

He paused for a moment, and said seriously: "Mr. Darcy, I will remember your kindness to our family in my heart, and please forgive me for the negligence in the past."

Mr. Darcy said: "Mr. Bennet, you are speaking too seriously. I dare not claim to have any favors to your family. I just did what I can. I beg you not to mention this matter again."

When Mr. Bennet and Mr. Darcy communicated, Elizabeth sat on another sofa with her back to them, and Charlotte sat with her, but Elizabeth had no idea what Charlotte was doing. All attention is on the two men who are talking.

Elizabeth listened attentively to their conversation, for Mr. Bennet joined in, and was talking to the distinguished guest, and the rest of the drawing-room fell silent, and Mr. Collins and Mrs. Bennet were rarely interrupted, so the two gentlemen talked Elizabeth could hear the voice clearly.

It was a rare experience of Mr. Darcy talking to her family, with politeness on both sides, and no endless flattery, or stupidity to laugh at, which Elizabeth found extremely pleasant.

Elizabeth felt very grateful that Mr. Bennet was so rare in conversation with a guest, and obviously he did it for her sake.

Mr. Bingley sat down with his friend, and as soon as he had the opportunity, mentioned a matter to them. "Mr. Bennet," said Mr. Bingley, "there is something I must tell you about the two hundred Sterling thing."

Elizabeth wondered for a moment, about the two hundred pounds?

Mr. Bingley went on quickly: "Darcy gave me the check for two hundred pounds again yesterday, which I drew at Pemberley, and Darcy refused to take it, and it was of no avail to me, so The money came full circle and came back to me, and that was it."

Elizabeth understood it at once, but at the same time she was very puzzled, how did Mr. Bingley's check get into Mr. Darcy's hands?They had handed the check to Miss Darcy, and Mr. Darcy had come directly from Rosings to Hertfordshire without going back to his own house?

Elizabeth was very puzzled, eager to hear more, but Mr. Bingley ended here. Mr. Bingley just wanted to tell Longborn that Darcy gave him the money again, and he didn't come to explain to Elizabeth. Besides, he was not a roundworm in Elizabeth's stomach. Mr. Bingley didn't know what Elizabeth was thinking.

After Mr. Bingley finished speaking, Mr. Bennet looked at Mr. Darcy in surprise, and Elizabeth heard Mr. Bennet call Mr. Darcy with disapproval.

Mr. Darcy understood what Mr. Bennet wanted to say. Elizabeth heard Mr. Darcy tell Mr. Bennet that he was only doing his duty and that the money would never be accepted. Finally, she asked Mr. Bennet not to mention this matter again. It's over.

While speaking, Mr. Darcy glanced past Mr. Bennet who was opposite, and glanced at Elizabeth who was sitting with her back to them.

Mr. Bennet didn't know what Mr. Darcy was thinking, he just thought that Mr. Darcy was a sincere and reliable person, and Mr. Bennet said from the bottom of his heart: "Mr. Bingley, you are so lucky to have Darcy A friend like Mr., many people will not have such luck in their lifetime."

Mr. Bingley cheerfully assented, having never doubted Darcy's character and friendship, but in doing so Mr. Bingley could not help casting a glance at Elizabeth.

Darcy was indeed a most reliable friend, but he had another motive for doing this, which Mr. Bennet could not think of.Even Bingley himself was a little confused. He knew in his heart that Mr. Darcy came here not only to see his friend, but Darcy had other plans, but what was this plan? After meeting Mrs. Bennet and Mr. Collins Whether he was shaken after waiting for someone, Bingley couldn't say for sure.

On the other end, Elizabeth became more and more impatient, and even Mr. Bennet couldn't bear to listen to Mr. Darcy when he praised Mr. Darcy as a rare friend. She just wanted to know how Mr. Darcy got the check. Did you go back to Pemberley... This is a very important thing. If Mr. Darcy has gone back to Pemberley, it means that he already knows about Missy. Thinking of this, Elizabeth's face suddenly burned up. I didn't have the courage to stay in this room any longer.

Elizabeth dared to appear in front of Mr. Darcy before because she only thought that Mr. Darcy had never returned to Pemberley.

But Elizabeth quickly cheered herself up again. It wasn't her fault that happened. Why is she so shameful?Besides, we met yesterday, is it plausible to suddenly shrink back today?Besides, if Mr. Darcy had heard Mrs. Reynolds tell the story, he probably would not have mentioned it to her.

Thinking of this, Elizabeth regained her courage.

It happened that Mrs. Hill cooked the coffee and brought it over. Elizabeth was afraid that she would lose her courage if she continued to think wildly, so she stood up directly and ended up with the tray in Mrs. Hill's hand. Elizabeth poured the coffee for Mr. Darcy's first, and Darcy Mr. West, Mr. Bingley, Mr. Collins, and Mr. and Mrs. Bennett, Elizabeth poured out five cups of coffee, put them on a tray, and carried them to them.

Elizabeth set the coffee cups in front of everyone, and Mr. Bingley and Mr. Collins thanked Elizabeth respectively. When it was Mr. Darcy's turn, Elizabeth took the opportunity to speak to Mr. Darcy.

"Mr. Darcy," said Elizabeth, "is Miss Darcy still at Pemberley?"

"My sister has gone to London," Mr. Darcy told her. "I went to her first from Rosings, and then to Hertfordshire."

"...that's right," Elizabeth nodded thoughtfully, now she knew where Mr. Darcy got the check.Now that Miss Darcy and her brother met, it was not surprising that Mr. Darcy got the check... Elizabeth felt relieved, mainly because she felt that Mrs. Reynolds would not tell Darcy about Missy. Miss West, if Miss Darcy didn't know about it, of course she couldn't tell her brother.

Elizabeth seemed relieved.

Suddenly Mr. Darcy was heard saying: "But, Miss Elizabeth, you really shouldn't do that."

"..." Elizabeth looked at Mr. Darcy inexplicably. Mr. Darcy was smiling and in a good mood. Elizabeth asked him, "Mr. Darcy, what do you think I shouldn't do?"

Mr. Darcy said sorry to the others, and got up and left Mr. Bingley and the others. Mr. Darcy signaled Elizabeth to follow him, and Elizabeth followed him inexplicably.

Mr. Darcy took Elizabeth to a place some distance away from everyone. There were two chairs there. Mr. Darcy sat down on one of the chairs and said please sit down to Elizabeth.

Elizabeth sat down bewilderedly.

Only then did Mr. Darcy speak slowly: "Miss Elizabeth," he said with a smile, "what I meant just now was that you shouldn't have slipped my check to my sister..."

Miss Darcy accepted the check hesitantly that day, and didn't think much about it afterwards. Two or three days after Elizabeth and the others left, Miss Darcy was still in peace. Later, Miss Darcy used the bottle that Elizabeth and the others gave her. Perfume, Mrs. Reynolds smelled it and praised that it smelled good. Miss Darcy told Mrs. Reynolds that it was given to her by Elizabeth and the others, and mentioned the check by the way. I was taken aback by the word, and quickly asked Miss Darcy what kind of cheque. Miss Darcy was happy in her heart, but when Mrs. Reynolds asked her so nervously, she felt a little nervous, and hurriedly put Elizabeth and Jane together. He told her about sending the check to her, and went to her room to take it out and show it to Mrs. Reynolds.

Mrs. Reynolds was dismayed at the sight of the check, and told Miss Darcy plainly what was in her mind, that she should not take it, as her brother would certainly not take it.When Miss Darcy heard this, she felt a little flustered in her heart, and was afraid that she had done something wrong.

During the correspondence with Mr. Darcy, Miss Darcy did not dare to tell her brother about it. It was not until they met in London that Miss Darcy dared not hide it anymore. She told her brother the truth.

"...Miss Elizabeth," added Mr. Darcy at last, "that check of yours has done my sister a terrible disservice."
