Charlotte paused, and then continued: "Although we welcome Mr. Collins to Lucas Cabin very much, it is not as frequent as you imagine. The reason for inviting Mr. Collins to dinner this time is that Mr. Collins will leave soon. Herford County is now, and my parents feel that they are very close to Mr. Collins, and they want to invite him to the house before Mr. Collins leaves, as a way for Mr. Collins to practice in advance."

When Mr. Collins heard these words, his face and heart were very happy. Just now when Miss Lucas invited him to her house for dinner alone, Mr. Collins felt joyful in his heart, feeling that he had been treated very attentively by Miss Lucas. Now, hearing Miss Lucas say that their family welcomes him very much, and that he is very popular with the Lucas couple, Mr. Collins is even more delighted.

Mrs. Collins's cheerfulness greatly exasperated Mrs. Bennet, who would have yelled loudly had they been the only family in the room.

It's a pity that there are three outsiders in the room. Although Mrs. Bennet is full of dissatisfaction, she can only hold back.

But she is not a person who can hide her emotions. Anyone can see that Mrs. Bennet is holding her breath.

Charlotte didn't want to make fun of herself, so she asked Elizabeth to go home. Elizabeth felt sorry for Charlotte, so she proposed to send her home.

Charlotte said she didn't need to send it, but Elizabeth didn't want her to go back like this, insisted on sending it, so Elizabeth went back to her room to get a cloak and came out. When she came out, she saw that Mr. Collins had left the sofa, standing there with a smile on his face. Charlotte said that he must be there on time for dinner tomorrow.

Elizabeth waited for Charlotte and Mr. Collins to finish talking before walking over. She was about to send Charlotte home when she suddenly heard Mr. Darcy say to Mr. Bingley: "Bingley, would you mind taking Elizabeth in your carriage?" Miss and Miss Lucas? Miss Elizabeth has just recovered, so I can't catch a cold at this time."

Elizabeth didn't think it was necessary, because Lucas' cottage was very close to their house, and it wouldn't take long for her to walk back and forth, and it was midday, so she wouldn't catch a cold if she went out for a while.

But although Elizabeth thought so, she felt warm in her heart, and did not want to refuse Mr. Darcy's kindness.

Mr. Bingley was also taken aback for a moment, and quickly said: "Yes, Elizabeth can't catch a cold, Elizabeth, you can go in a carriage."

As he spoke, he went to the door and called a servant to tell his coachman to drive to the door.

The carriage came quickly. The coachman thought he was going to take the master and his wife back to Netherfield. Mr. Bingley came out from the door and told the coachman himself: "Send Miss Elizabeth and Miss Lucas to Miss Lucas's house." , and then bring Miss Elizabeth back, don’t walk too slowly, Miss Elizabeth can’t catch a cold.”

Mr. Darcy helped Elizabeth and Miss Lucas into the carriage, and the carriage drove away slowly. Elizabeth watched Mr. Darcy walk slowly back into the house through the window.

Charlotte has been watching from the side. What Mr. Darcy said, the way he looked at Elizabeth, and his behavior before and after, Charlotte saw everything in his eyes. When he didn't see Mr. Darcy, She thought that Elizabeth only had a unilateral affection for Mr. Darcy, but today's scene clearly showed that things were not what she thought at all.

Mr. Darcy obviously has a good impression of her good friend Elizabeth.

Charlotte is very happy for her friend. Even if Elizabeth travels all over the world, she will never meet a second man with such good qualifications... What is especially pleasing is that Mr. Darcy still has a large family in the church. Influence, the ability to promote those who work in the church.

It couldn't be better!

When in the carriage, because Mr. Bingley's coachman was there through the curtain, it was inconvenient for Miss Lucas to say anything. He bit his ear with Elizabeth: "Mr. Darcy likes you very much, don't let him go."

Before Elizabeth could say anything, Charlotte quickly got out of the carriage and reminded her with a smile: "Remember what I just said! I wanted you to come to my house to talk, But I can't waste your time at this time, so go back quickly."

Then Charlotte smiled and waved to her, and went into the house.

The carriage carried Elizabeth back, and soon returned to the house. Mr. Darcy had been keeping an eye on the outside. As soon as the carriage arrived, he found it. He greeted it quickly, and helped Elizabeth get out of the carriage.

The two walked into the living room slowly. Mr. Bennet was no longer in his place. Elizabeth guessed that he was bored here. Mr. Collins kept clamoring, and Mrs. Bennet looked annoyed again. .

Mary deliberately avoided Mr. Collins, and hadn't come down since she went upstairs after dinner. Elizabeth guessed that Mary was reading in her own room, because there was no sound of the piano coming from the piano room.

Just as Elizabeth was thinking this way, the sound of the piano came faintly from across the first floor.

Mrs. Bennet yelled irritably: "Know how to play the piano all day long! It doesn't matter whether other people want to hear it or not!"

Jane quickly walked over to Mrs. Bennet, vaguely asking Mrs. Bennet to relax, why Mrs. Bennet was upset. Jane also saw it just now, and she couldn't explain it too clearly in front of the three men. Just there to comfort Mrs. Bennet in general.

But Mrs. Bennet is not someone who can be comforted casually, and she is even more irritable, but Mr. Collins is still talking about his going to Lucas's house, saying how much he is. Happy, what an honor, "I really didn't expect that Mr. and Mrs. Lucas would be so polite and warm to me! I have seen many hospitable people in my life, but it is not common for the Lucas couple! They I have been invited three times, and this is the fourth time! And it may not be the last time! Mr. and Mrs. Lucas are so amiable, I dare say that this kind of amiability is second only to Mrs. Catherine! Because Mrs. Catherine is an old man for a week Probably treat me to two or three meals! And every time it is very rich! Of course, I am not saying that the food in Lucas’s house is not rich, but of course it is not as good as Rosings. It would be better if you go together, but to be honest, I really didn't expect Miss Lucas to invite me specifically, and only me! Who would have thought that Miss Lucas would be so polite to me..."

Mrs. Bennet couldn't bear it anymore, she suddenly put her head in her hands and moaned: "Oh, my nerves are starting to hurt again, I'm twitching, I'm about to die of pain!"

Mr. Bingley, who had never seen such a battle before, was startled, and thought that Mrs. Bennet had suddenly fallen ill.Although Mrs. Bennet used to complain about her neuralgia, she had never experienced this in front of her family. Mr. Bingley cried out in panic, "What's wrong with you? Bennett Ma'am, why does your head hurt?"

Mrs. Bennet did not answer Mr. Bingley's words, she just leaned on the back of the sofa, put her hands on her temples, and yelled.

Mr. Bingley turned eagerly to his wife again. "Jane!" cried Mr. Bingley. "What's the matter with Mrs. Bennet? Has it ever happened before? Shall we hurry for the doctor?"

Mr. Darcy was far away from Mrs. Bennet, he quickly walked towards Mrs. Bennet, stood close to Mrs. Bennet and carefully observed her situation, the lady kept talking He yelled, but the expression on his face was not the painful expression of a sudden illness. His forehead was bright and bright. Although he was frowning, there was no cold sweat at all. Judging from Mrs. Bennet's overall condition From the looks of it, this lady is fine.

Besides, Mrs. Bennet's family members were very calm, and there was no panic at all. Mr. Darcy looked at Elizabeth, her face was a little embarrassed, and there was a sense of habit.

Mr. Darcy was now more certain that Mrs. Bennet was all right, maybe she was just in a bad mood and wanted to call a few times.

After the initial panic, Mr. Bingley also felt that something was wrong. The main reason was that Jane and Elizabeth were too calm. Mr. Bingley looked at the others suspiciously, and then at Mrs. Bennet who was screaming. Ask with certainty: "Jane, what should we do now?"

Jane said with a bit of embarrassment: "My mother has an old problem. She sometimes has some headache symptoms, but it doesn't matter. She will recover after a night of sleep. You don't have to worry about it."

After hearing Jane's words, Mr. Bingley also realized that Mrs. Bennet was completely free from all illnesses. He felt amused and heaved a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Bennet was unwilling when Jane said she was fine. She was still leaning on the back of the sofa with her eyes closed and screaming. As soon as Jane finished speaking, Mrs. Bennet suddenly opened her eyes and pointed Jane yelled in the direction: "It's fine after a night's sleep! Have you ever seen someone who is sick and doesn't need to see a doctor, just sleep in and be fine? But I've long been used to it, and you always treat me so cruelly! "

Mrs. Bennet said, and turned her face to Mr. Bingley: "I've been used to it for a long time! No one in this family cares about me! No one cares about my life! You heard it just now, Mr. Bingley? She actually said that I Just sleep and I'll be fine! Whoops, oh my god, no one knows what I've been through! And no one can talk about it! Because no one listens to me! But I'm going to talk about it Yes, if you don't complain, then no one will sympathize with you! Ouch, don't talk to anyone, don't talk to me! My nerves are starting to hurt again, no one knows how much I have suffered! "
