[Pride and Prejudice] Crossing into Elizabeth

Elizabeth said in her heart that you have never even learned the piano, so what else can you give me?

She looked at Jane, and Jane noticed her gaze, but she didn't seem to know what she meant, so she smiled at her.

Elizabeth silently turned her gaze back, feeling lonely when someone has something to say and no one to say it!

Miss Darcy obediently obeyed, went behind the piano, sat down, and soon began to play.

Elizabeth heard half of the song, and felt that Miss Darcy played it really well.She thought of Miss Bingley's evaluation of Miss Darcy, no matter whether Miss Bingley's feelings for Miss Darcy were true or false, she was right in one sentence, Miss Darcy was indeed a versatile lady.

In the beautiful music, Elizabeth relaxed a lot. She was a little depressed at first, but now she felt that it was nothing.

Miss Darcy had just played half a piece when Miss Bingley greeted her master and went out in silence.It was probably because she felt ill at being reproached by Lady Catherine that she did not want to be in the room.

At this time, Elizabeth saw that Mr. Bingley went to find Jane again. Mr. Bingley probably said a lot of good things, and Jane looked radiant again.

Mr. Hurst was just lazily lying on the sofa, and Mrs. Hurst was very interested in chatting. Unfortunately, no one could talk. She said ten sentences and Mr. Hearst answered at most.Finally Mrs. Hearst got annoyed and simply ignored him. Elizabeth saw Mrs. Hearst walking towards her.

Elizabeth looked around the room silently, and finally understood why Mrs. Hurst came towards her. She was the only one alone. Mr. and Mrs. Bingley together, Mr. Darcy and Catherine, mother and daughter together , Miss Darcy was playing, and Lydia was eating her cake, indeed, she was the only one who could talk.

Because this is regarded as someone who can chat, Elizabeth feels very sad.

Sure enough, Mrs. Hearst sat down next to Elizabeth. Mrs. Hearst chatted with Elizabeth for a while. Later, she asked Elizabeth another question, which attracted the attention of Mrs. Catherine. Mrs. Hearst asked Elizabeth: "Elizabeth Miss, which college did you study in? Caroline and I are both in St. Rose's Women's College, but we haven't met you there, so you shouldn't be studying at St. Rose's?"

Elizabeth said: "I didn't go to St. Rose's, in fact I didn't go to any school. I studied at home."

"That's right," Mrs. Hurst was not too surprised. Although there are not many cases of home study like Elizabeth, there are some. Mrs. Hurst asked again: "How much money will Mrs. Bennet give you sisters?" It must be a good tutor to hire."

Elizabeth smiled, and said: "We never had a governess."

She imagined that Mrs. Hurst was going to be startled.

Sure enough, Mrs. Hurst looked startled, and she repeated loudly: "No governess!"

Mrs. Catherine obviously heard their conversation, and she also looked at Elizabeth in surprise. Mrs. Catherine asked Elizabeth: "You mean you have never hired a tutor?! Oh, my God," she glanced at Lydia "That's no wonder, but I have never heard of such a thing. There are five daughters in the family, but there is no governess! Who will teach you, Miss Bennet? Who will teach you to read and write? Who Teach you to play the piano and draw? Miss Elizabeth, have you ever learned to play the piano? Can you draw? "

Elizabeth said: "I can't draw, but I have learned a little piano."

"Oh," Lady Catherine looked at her carefully, and then she said aloud to Miss Darcy: "Georgiana, you play very well, and I wondered if you had been lazy all this time, and now you play like this Well, I'm relieved, good boy, are you tired? Let Miss Elizabeth go up and play. I want to hear her play."

Elizabeth did not expect Lady Catherine to be like this, and decided without asking her what she meant. Miss Darcy listened to her aunt very well, and she stopped quickly and stood up from her chair. Mr. Darcy probably Feeling that his aunt was a little rude, he wanted to make amends, so he said to Elizabeth: "Miss Elizabeth, we all want to hear you play the piano. I wonder if we have the honor?"

In fact, if Elizabeth really wanted to kill Mrs. Catherine's vigor, she could still refuse. When Mrs. Catherine talked about her family in that tone, Elizabeth still felt angry when she thought about it, but she was not very popular. It's not worth being angry about a stranger like Lady Catherine, and it's getting better.

Elizabeth's personality is not twisted, and she felt that she would make everyone unhappy because of a small matter, so she agreed to Mr. Darcy's request.

But she thought of a new trick, and Elizabeth said to Mr. Darcy: "Mr. Darcy, I don't play the piano very well. If I go up alone, I might make people laugh. I want to ask Miss Darcy to help me." To support the scene, Miss Darcy and I played the piano together, she played the piano with her right hand, and I played with my left hand, so it was broken, and everyone couldn't tell whether it was me who played badly or Miss Darcy who played badly."

Mr. Darcy did not expect Elizabeth to say this, and besides, the method of playing the piano she mentioned was unknown, and he was taken aback for a moment.But he recovered quickly, and turned to look at his sister. "Georgiana," he said, "you heard what Miss Elizabeth said? What do you think?"

Miss Darcy looked a little perplexed, but Lady Catherine said, "One hand, one hand, that's a novel way of playing, Georgiana, try it."

There was only one chair behind the piano, and Mr. Darcy himself sent one over.

Elizabeth sat on the left, and Miss Darcy sat on the right, and Elizabeth asked Miss Darcy, "Miss Darcy, which piece shall we play?"

"All right," said Miss Darcy in a low voice.

There was a score in front of them. Miss Darcy had played half of the piece just now, and Miss Darcy had just turned to the second page of the score. Elizabeth asked, "Can I just play the piece just now?"

Miss Darcy nodded, and Elizabeth turned to the first page of the music.

But there is always a problem of cooperation between two people playing the piano. Miss Darcy looked a little nervous. Elizabeth said: "It doesn't matter, we just play for a while, it doesn't matter whether we play well or not. I count to three and we play together, okay?"

After discussing it, they began to play the piano. As expected, a good piece of music was ruined by them, and the rhythm of the two people was controlled differently. Sometimes Elizabeth still played this note, and Miss Darcy had already started to play the piano. The next note is under the hands of the two of them. Sometimes it's too long, sometimes it's too short, but Miss Darcy is a good piano player after all. Later, she deliberately slowed down the rhythm and followed Elizabeth's beat. Elizabeth felt relieved when she found out. I played my own boldly, so the second half of the song is still listenable.

At the end of the piece, Lady Catherine smiled and said, "Oh, what are you playing?"

Miss Anne laughed too.

The atmosphere became harmonious for a while.

Mr. Darcy said with a smile: "Miss Elizabeth, then we won't know how well you play. I think you'll have to ask you to play us a piece by yourself."

Elizabeth said: "That can't be done. I must play the piano with Miss Darcy just because I don't want to expose my true level in front of everyone. Mr. Darcy, if I agree to your request to play alone, I dare you to listen to me." After you’re done, you must regret that you made such a request.”

Mr. Darcy said: "But I'm just as sorry not to hear it, because I can't help thinking that you play very well, but you don't want to entertain us."

Elizabeth smiled, and before she could speak, Miss Anne suddenly sighed, "If only I had learned the piano," she said.

A blanket was thrown over Miss Anne's legs, and the lady who had been with her whispered, "Why, dear Miss Anne, your body will not allow you to do that." The blanket was pulled up.

Mrs. Catherine turned her head to look at her daughter, and the expression on her face softened. Mrs. Catherine said to Miss Anne: "Good boy, you can't learn the piano because of your health, but you have to know that your taste and talent are amazing." Much better than most girls. You'd be a fine performer if your body would allow you."

Miss Anne didn't say anything more, but her face was a bit sad.

Elizabeth looked at her carefully, and found that her face was still sickly.

Elizabeth suddenly felt very unbearable, and Lady Catherine was just a mother who cared about her daughter.
