"Cousin, God's law cannot be violated."
Collins winked his eyes, and suddenly became serious.It's ridiculous to say from the mouth of a pastor.However, Elizabeth did not expect the villain to be good, and only laughed mockingly."
Trust me, cousin."
Collins was paradoxically sincere, "Although I have many opinions on this matter, I assure you that I have come here to solve the problem.But for now, let me say more, until I get acquainted with the other cousins[13]. ”The implication is that although Elizabeth has a temperament, who knows if she will have a better cousin!
He had to wait for Mrs.
Bennet to open up the daughters in front of him, and then let him choose according to Mrs.
Carterine's criteria.Elizabeth was clearly not interested in Collins' ridiculous solution, and she asked the initial topic without moving: "Mr.
Collins said he was willing to help?"
”"Yes.""
Lady Caterin's pastoral area must be much more gorgeous than Banfu, right?"
Although I don't know what this has to do with helping, there is an opportunity to flatter Mrs.
Carterine, and Collins feels that it is a sin not to take it."
I can't find a more beautiful pasture in the whole country, and the esteemed Sir Louis de Baul spent a great sum of money—" He was quickly interrupted by Elizabeth, "since my cousin has taken care of such a splendid pasture, it is not right to deign to look at the little part of Panhouse."
I'm going to ask the milkmaids to come and talk to Mr.
Jenner about things, so I'd like to ask my cousin to take care of the lovely cows instead of them. ”"It's—" Collins stiffened.He was a priest, a noble and great priest under the jurisdiction of Lady Carterin, how could he do such a rough thing?!
He was about to refuse, but Elizabeth added: "I think Lady Cartelyn would be very glad to hear of her cousin's friendship and friendship. ”Killer.As soon as Mrs.
Carteline came out, Mr.
Collins was bound to bow down, and this was already a "universally recognized" truth.Collins' face darkened, but thanks to his long-practiced ability to say compliments on the spot, he said naturally: "My cousin is right, but there are many ways to make friendship, and if you stick to only one too rigid."
I was bored with Mrs.
Bennet, and I thought I should go and talk to her now. ”As if afraid of her rebuttal, he added: "Madame Carterine has often deigned me to speak with her, and I think she is very kind, and will never object to me occasionally accompanying others. ”The author has something to say: Note: [1].Quoted from Mr.
Qian Zhongshu's "The Siege of the City".The original text reads: "It is cruel to look closely at an ugly man - unless he is a bad person, you have to punish him." ”The reason for the direct quotation is that the author feels ......
This sentence is simply tailor-made for Mr.
Collins.[2]。
Quoted from Chapter 13 of the original book.Publicize the ancient proverb "The Life of the Teaching Director": The teaching director of a key middle school in Jiangsu, the person who came out of the chemistry roll of the Jiangsu college entrance examination, and the exterminator is too missing - once he traveled to ancient times, his parents died, and he was sent under the fence?
Calm, she can still run cram schools well, bet on the questions and bet on 100 shots, count the money to the hand, and be promoted to the peak.The cuties like to collect it, and this book will be opened after it is written!
There is also a pre-collection of "Prince, please put on the school uniform", the copywriting has not been thought of for the time being, and it will be posted in a few days~ Chapter 14 The annoying narcissistic Mr.
Feminism and Human Rights was finally sent away, and Elizabeth breathed a sigh of relief.As the saying goes, the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, but her ugliness is about to go to the next village!"
I'm so sorry."
Elizabeth said, "I finally invited you to come and visit, but I didn't expect to encounter such a scene. ”Fortunately, Mr.
Elton and Mr.
Jenner, who are both businessmen, are accustomed to seeing such faces; One of the two ears did not listen to the outside of the window, and only studied cowpox and smallpox, so naturally he did not care."
Mr.
Jenner," said Elizabeth, who was familiar with the scientist's character, went straight to the point as soon as the conversation began, "I have been following your research on cowpox, and have investigated a little of the girls who milked cows in Banfu, who have had cowpox, but not any of the after-effects of smallpox.I think it should be the same as what you get from visiting the ranch. ”"Miss Bennet, I'm glad you're interested in science."
Mr.
Jenner is a tall middle-aged man with the pride of a scientist, but also humility for his fellow people, which has nothing to do with identity, but a kind of awe for science and knowledge.Unfortunately, she was a little embarrassed that he applied such humility to Elizabeth, after all, her interest in this field of research was not due to her own curiosity about unknown scientific fields, but only because of her previous life interactions.In this regard, she felt that Manli was more suitable than herself."
Sir, I only know a little bit about it," she said honestly, "after all, there are many limitations as women, and it is impossible for us to visit ranches to investigate, let alone have the opportunity to go to university for systematic study." ”Mr.
Jenner frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said to Elton, "Sir, please take Wilson around the ranch, I have something to say to Miss Bennet." ”The three people present were surprised when they heard this, but Mr.
Jenner was highly respected, and as an elder, naturally no one objected.After waiting for Mr.
Elton and little Jenner to go away, Mr.
Jenner said, "Miss Bennet, I'm sorry I wasn't able to see you right away last week.I have a bad habit of not being bothered when I am thinking. ”Elizabeth was stunned, Mr.
Jenner took Elton and Jenner Jr. away just to say this?
She didn't react at once.Elizabeth's silence, however, meant something else in Jenner's eyes, and he hastened to explain, "Rest assured, Miss Bennett, I was definitely not targeting your gender at the time.Although there is a lot of criticism of female scientists in society, I believe that there is no difference between men and women in this field, and the brilliance of a female scientist is definitely not inferior to that of men. ”I see.Elizabeth was a little ridiculous.Because she was familiar with the old gentleman, she didn't have any other thoughts when he refused to see her.But the other party obviously thought that she had misunderstood, and she was a little moved to listen to so many explanations at the moment.It's just that the more she listened, the more shocked she became.In such an era, the definition of a young girl's talent was limited to decorating tables, decorating screens, and weaving money bags.Even the demanding Mr.
Darcy added at most appearance, gait, music, singing, drawing, dancing, and modern languages[1].Therefore, she can't help but be self-conscious, agreeing with the identity of women as tutors, and thinking that it is great that women can gain real talents and real learning through reading.Now, however, an elder she respects so much has told her that women can succeed in other fields where only men often have a name.Elizabeth suddenly felt a little sad, and she felt tears roll in her eyes unconsciously.Naturally, Mr.
Jenner misunderstood the scene again: "Miss Bennet, I hope you don't be negative.Women are increasingly represented in science today – "Eva, a Swedish chemist, made alcohol and flour from potatoes, greatly reducing famine in Sweden. ”"Scottish chemist Ms Elizabeth has created the concept of catalysis to improve painful redox reactions.""
The discovery of comets by the German astronomer Lady Caroline, the Italian anatomist Lady Maria studying breast milk, the French chemist Lady Marianne, the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, the German physician Lady Dorothy, and so on [2].""

There are many terms in this that you may not know, but Miss Bennet—I would say it—are all predecessors whom I have great respect for, and who have left an indelible mark on the scientific community.Although the road is difficult, and it is possible that women may need to put in ten times and a hundred times the effort to be recognized, but there is hard work and there is reward, isn't it?
”Elizabeth suddenly remembered that she had read a poem from the United States in her previous life: "There are two paths in the yellow forest, and I have chosen the less inhabited one, and thus embarked on this very different journey[3]. ”From society to family, countless factors have allowed women to embark on a broad road, get married, have children, and run a family when they reach an age.Even many unions have no love between them, just a match of identity and status.Although it is boring, the road is simple and easy to understand, and you can walk down it with a dull and sunny day.The other path, good or bad, everyone has their own different interpretation.For Lydia in the previous life, she may have eloped with Wickham; For her now, she may be the daughter of a gentleman, and she still goes out to work.Although Mr.
Jenner is talking about the path of science, it is also extremely difficult for women to write.Originally, she was only forced to write, in order to make money and become independent, so as to change the tragic fate of her family.But now, after listening to Mr.
Jenner's words, she suddenly had a real purpose.If there are so many outstanding women in science, why not add one to the literary world?
She loves to write, she feels talented, and now with the support of Editor-in-Chief Tom and Mr.
Elton, she is ahead of most people!"
Thank you."
Elizabeth said heartily.However, she is not aiming at the scientific community, and may be about to disappoint Mr.
Jenner.Seeing the color in the eyes of the lady in front of him, Mr.
Jenner was very pleased: "You are a very good lady, Miss Bennet.Your receptivity to new things surprises me as an old fellow.You know, most people in the medical society now scoff at cowpox research. ”"I heard Mr.
Darcy say, sir, that you have some difficulties with your research?"
Their conversation went back to the original topic."
Not bad."
As a senior in the scientific community, Mr.
Jenner is not perfunctory to Elizabeth at all, and has a completely instructive attitude towards the juniors, "Miss Bennet, do you have any ideas?"
I'd like to hear from you. ”Elizabeth did not shirk either: "All people who have cowpox do not get smallpox, this is your current observational result, sir."
I think what is missing now is the crucial experiment that can prove the causal link between cowpox and smallpox [4], i.e., cowpox can prevent smallpox. ”"You're right.""
So, sir, are you currently having trouble finding test subjects?""
You're smart, Miss Bennet.""
While I'm confident, the vast majority of people think my vision is a fantasy, and no one wants to risk their lives in such a situation.There was a young boy who was willing to be inoculated with cowpox and then injected with smallpox pus to prove the effect of cowpox, but unfortunately he passed away two months ago."
Deceased?"
Elizabeth was stunned.She didn't dare to ask if the little boy was her previous employer, James Laura, but at this point in time, there was a good chance that it would be him.But how did he die?"
Unfortunately, he died of smallpox."
Jenner answered her question, "I regret it, if I had not hesitated to do the experiment earlier, maybe I would have saved a life." ”"What about a life?
Thousands of people all over Europe and the world are waiting for you to save them!
”Jenner looked at Elizabeth in surprise, "Miss Bennett, you're complimenting me." ”Elizabeth said sincerely: "Believe me, Mr.
Jenner, you must continue.You just told me that as long as you work hard, you will reap the rewards, and you have worked hard for 20 years, and now you are one step away from solving the plague that affects people all over the world. ”"It's not an easy step."
Jenner mused, "It is estimated that only one out of 10,000 people can accept my cowpox theory, and how many of the 10,000 people who can agree with my theory are willing to test it for themselves?"
Even if both are met, the physical requirements of the test are very strict.If it weren't for that, I would have verified it myself. ”"Mr.
Jenner."
Hearing him say this, Elizabeth's eyes suddenly lit up."
Look—how am I?
I am willing to be inoculated with vaccinia and participate in the experiment. ”"No way!"
Mr.
Jenner didn't seem to think about it, and blurted out when he refused.This refusal was to be expected by Elizabeth, and her mind spun quickly, and after only two or three seconds of pause, she thought of a reason to convince Mr.
Jenner."
Mr.
Jenner refused, is it because I am a woman?""
Of course not—Miss Bennet—the respect I spoke of for women was from the heart.""
Is that because of my identity?
Because I am the daughter of a squire, and not a commoner?
”This time Mr.
Jenner was speechless.Elizabeth knew she was right when she looked at his complicated expression.She said unhurriedly, "Mr.
Jenner, you are not rejecting me because I am a woman, but because of my status.Is there no difference between men and women, but between commoners and squires?
”"Miss Bennet—" Jenner subconsciously tried to plead, but he found himself unable to say anything to refute.He was born into a wealthy aristocratic family in Scotland, and even if he didn't feel superior to others, he had cultivated a sense of class since childhood."

Mr.
Jenner, all men are created equal, especially in the face of death."
After saying this, Elizabeth suddenly looked sideways and looked at the herd in front of her with some amazement.She remembered her father who was beaten to death by Wickham in her previous life, Darcy who died in a car accident on Lydia Road to find elopement, and Jane, who was depressed and died of illness.In the face of sudden death, everyone is equal, regardless of origin.Jenner took a deep look at the lady in front of him."
Not bad."
He finally fell silent, as if considering Elizabeth's offer."
Mr.
Jenner should know better than I do how many mothers and children have been separated and families have been torn apart by smallpox.""
Yes."
He looked at Elizabeth and suddenly felt that there was endless power in this young lady's body.Elizabeth was also turning her head and looking at Jenner with blazing eyes: "So, Mr.
Jenner, the solution is in front of you, do you have to wait any longer because of such a ridiculous class concept?"
”The author has something to say: this chapter is a turning point in Elizabeth's thinking!
If there is an OOC and a collapse of the writing, blame me......
Also, thanks again to the tartar cherub for the brain hole!
I thought about it for a few days and was ready to let the villains huddle together to keep warm, and there will be sand sculptures on the emotional line to develop, and I want to have fun, but in the end I won't form a CP.Note: [1].Refer to Chapter 8 of the original book, Mr.
Bingley, Miss Bingley, and Mr.
Darcy's definition of female talent.[2]。

CorrelationVSCausation, the feeling is the first lesson in all science introductory haha.Chapter 15 Mr.
Narcissist Elton takes little Jenner around the ranch for nearly an hour before waiting for Mr.
Jenner to call them back to Nigerfeld Manor.Mr.
Jenner's expression was very solemn along the way, and Elton tried to ask the reason several times, but he couldn't help but speak.Miss Elizabeth looked as usual when she saw her off just now—he looked out the window at the gloomy sky, and had to attribute the reason to the unpleasant weather in November.
--When the three returned to the manor, Mr.
Darcy was writing in the drawing-room.It's a pity that during the two hours they were out of the house, Mr.
Darcy was not very efficient in writing letters.There were only four or five bound letters stacked on the wooden table, less than a third of the usual amount completed.As for what was in his poor little head, only the gentleman himself knew.Ever since he heard Mr.
Jenner and the others enter the door, his pen had unconsciously dipped in the letter paper for a long time.By the time he came back to his senses, the halo had left indelible traces.Just as Miss Elizabeth left a mark on his heart.…… Mr.
Darcy crumpled the paper into a ball with some irritability, and prepared to write a new one."
Mr.
Darcy, you are very meticulous in your letters."
Miss Bingley doesn't open any pot.After all, this young lady has two hobbies in life, one is to watch Darcy write letters, and the other is to Quadarcy to write letters, and she also compares her brother to the opposite: "Charles's casual and sloppy attitude when he writes letters is unimaginable[1].At most, he wrote the wrong words and corrected them, and never rewrote them. ”It was a compliment, but now it was like rubbing salt in a wound for Darcy.His face darkened and he was silent.Miss Bingley, accustomed to Darcy's ignorance, and even learned the art of self-talk, picked up the draft that Darcy had thrown aside, and glanced at the beginning: "Miss Darcy will be glad to hear from you."
How often do you usually write one?
”"Weekly.""
Oh my God, how many letters do you have to write a year?
If I had changed, I would have gotten tired of it[1]. ”"So, these letters have not met you."
His pen paused.At that moment, the thick letter that Miss Elizabeth had sent to Mr.
Elton that day came to his mind again.…… The ink halo ruined another piece of letterhead.Mr.
Bingley couldn't hold back his laughter: "My friend Darcy, why do I think it's bad luck to meet you with these letters?"
”Darcy: "......"
Fortunately, without him answering, Mr.
Bingley had already turned his attention to Mr.
Jenner and the others who were walking towards them."
Mr.
Jenner, how is the ranch in Panfu?
If it weren't for something in the morning, I would have been going to disturb Miss Elizabeth Bennet. ”He patted his friend on the shoulder, "I'm sure Darcy won't mind going with me." ”"I don't have time, Charles, I have a morning to write.""
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Come on, Darcy, I haven't seen how many letters you've written this morning, and I don't want to see you sitting here all the time."
Darcy: "......" may have been trying to hide his embarrassment, and he immediately changed the subject and called the waiter who delivered the letter, telling him to deliver the finished letter to the post office in Meriton."
Wait."
Mr.
Jenner, who had been silent, finally spoke, as if he had decided something.He stopped the waiter, then took a piece of paper from the table, wrote a few words carefully, sealed it, and handed it to him."
Please take a detour to Lang Bourne, and please hand it over to Miss Elizabeth Bennet."
Miss Elizabeth?
Hearing the name, Darcy's hand holding the pen couldn't help but pause again, and a pile of ink appeared again at the end of the name "Georgiana".It's already the third mistake......
Mr.
Darcy has now finally admitted that he was absent-minded because of a lady.He tore up the scrapped letterhead, then put down his pen and walked out the door.The estate is surrounded by vast meadows, so empty that it seems that you can see the Ban House of Langburn three miles away.He vaguely heard Mr.
Elton behind him talking about the visit of Miss Elizabeth's cousin, who sounded like a conceited young man who was not easy to get along with.But—Darcy thought of Elizabeth's witty and sharp language and wise and beautiful eyes, and a smile slowly appeared on the corners of his mouth that he had not even noticed—she would not suffer.
--Mrs.
Bennet had the cook prepare a sumptuous lunch for the "guests", and Elizabeth, who was remembered by everyone, was enjoying the food.Of course, lunch was prepared before Mrs.
Collins knew the purpose of Collins' visit.If she had known that he was calculating Langborn's fortune, she would never have bothered to do anything about lunch.The cows and sheep that were brought to the table could not be taken back into the tripe, and the current wife could only say strangely: "Sir, can this meal be made to your liking?"
”"It's just amazing, especially this big potato from the country—I wonder which lady made it?"
Mrs.
Bennet exclaimed, "We can afford a cook." ”Mr.
Collins was a little disappointed that he had not found any candidate for a good cook, but then nodded with great satisfaction: "I am very pleased that Langborne's estate can afford such a feast. ”"Of the twenty-four families in the village, Panfu is one of the best, and it is much more delicious than the meatloaf in Sir Lucas's house."
The lady said, "Sir, you seldom have ever eaten such a sumptuous meal, right?"
”"On the contrary," said Mr.
Collins triumphantly, "the esteemed Madame Carteline often invited me to dine with her in Roosevelt Garden, and her noble daughter, Mademoiselle de Baul, occasionally visited the Humble House.Madame's ranch—well, ranch—" At this point, the gentleman, who had always rehearsed compliments in advance, could not say any more, for he remembered what had just happened at the ranch of Panfu.Although he felt that in his noble position as a priest, there was no problem in refusing Miss Elizabeth's request to feed the cows.But if you say it now, I'm afraid it will hurt the face of this young lady - after all, rejection is always a bad thing, not to mention that this young lady is one of the candidates for his future wife.Therefore, Collins paused in a rare way, and then changed the subject: "Let's talk about Mademoiselle de Baul, who was born a noble duke!"
I have never seen any other lady as aristocratic as she was.If the young lady is in better health, she will definitely go to the palace often to meet His Majesty. ”After saying that, he glanced at Elizabeth deliberately, as if he was afraid that she would not appreciate his gentlemanly behavior in changing the subject.As everyone knows, it is even more of a sin to praise another lady unreservedly in front of the "wife candidates".Even though the five young ladies had no opinion, their mother was not happy, and she deliberately muttered loudly, "It's a pity that you're not in good health." ”"Isn't it?"
Collins said, "The absence of Mademoiselle de Baul deprived the English court of the brightest of decorations[2]. ”Comparing a living person to a decoration is a compliment that only a stupid Collins, would consider.And now perhaps there is a Mrs.
Bennett, who is unconvinced as to how to refute her.The meal ended with Mrs.
Bennet and Mr.
Collins arguing.The atmosphere was unfriendly, but it greatly satisfied Collins's mouthy pleasure.You know, when he usually accompanied the noble and venerable Lady Cartherine in the gardens of Rosings, he did not have the opportunity to speak like this.So now this gentleman can't stop talking.After the meal, it didn't take long for him to offer to read to the ladies.Collins hypocritically asked, "What do my cousins want me to read?"
”He felt that the ladies were reserved, and that the reserved ladies would not take the initiative to propose a bibliography, but would ask him to decide for himself.In this way, he was able to give his cousins enough face, and at the same time be able to recite his favorite "Sermons" of Ferdis, and by the way, to instill the feudal morality of a young woman in a certain future wife.However, Bennet's home is full of exceptions.As soon as she heard about reading, Lydia, whose attention had already drifted to the Meriton officer's office, was suddenly very excited, and she did not know where to take out the treasured "Lady's Magazine" and accurately locate this page of "First Impressions"."
This one, read this one!"
The plan for the Sermons fell through in stone, and Collins' face was a little ugly, but he still pretended to be a gentleman and took the magazine."
First Impressions?"
He read the title, cleared his throat, and took the opportunity of a few seconds to glance at the following, and then he could no longer maintain his gentlemanly demeanor, and immediately retreated in surprise."
I don't read novels!"
He cried out, "O God, my dear Lord!
What lady would have written something so unreasonable?
”Lydia took back the Lady Magazine with great dissatisfaction, and Manri forced a smile and stole a glance at Elizabeth.Elizabeth: "......" she was silent, but she saw Kitty snatch Ladies Magazine from Lydia's hand, glanced at it with pure curiosity, and then read it with relish!
God—Elizabeth couldn't laugh or cry—is it time for the whole family to become her faithful readers?
--Collins was desperate to redeem his demeanor, but at the same time he was unwilling to give up the opportunity to show his strength in front of his cousins.However, now that Lydia had learned from the past, he said that he could no longer let his cousins play freely.So, his mind swirled to come up with a brilliant solution.According to his intuition, he chose Manli from Furusaka as his "assistant", hoping to use her mouth to make his plan come true."
Dear Cousin Manly, do you have any book that you would like me to read aloud?"
Manli was stunned, and was just about to say that it was up to him to decide, when he thought of the book that Mr.
Jenner Jr. had given him before."
How's this going to be?"
Collins didn't look good when he saw the thick book that Manly handed over, because his perfect plan had gone bankrupt again.However, he comforted himself by saying that looking at the appearance of this book, it should at least be a serious masterpiece, which is much better than the previous novels that hurt nature and reason."
Very good, Cousin Manly."
The gentleman cleared his throat again and took the thick book.Just as he was about to speak, his facial expression froze again.What kind of book is this?"
Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy"?!

*Copywriting of "Speaking to Professor Lin": three years ago.Lin Yinqing is the kind of scholar who can be arrogant enough to write on his resume that he graduated from Harvard (#1/1394) with a bachelor's degree.Everyone speculated whether she would go to the Nobel Prize laboratory at MIT next door to study for a PhD in biochemistry or go to Oxbridge on a Rhodes Scholarship.However, to the surprise of the melon-eating masses, she finally chose the CIA.Not the CIA of the CIA, but ......
Culinary Institute of America?
It can be described as a contemporary Fang Zhongyong.Three years later."
Down-and-out genius" Lin Yinqing graduated from the CIA and joined hands with Evolution Molecular Cuisine to come to S City strongly.Chapter 16 refers to the deer as the horse, "The Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy", by Newton?
The theological principles of the natural sciences are pretty much the same!
No, no, no, how can the natural sciences be on a par with the Lord?
He was a priest, a respected priest promoted by Lady Carterine!
How can you read aloud a god stick miscellaneous work from an ordinary academy in public?
Collins was dismissive and apprehensive.He held "The Philosophical Principles of Natural Science" in his hand, as if he were holding a bomb, for fear that he would accidentally blow off his head[1].Fortunately, the waiter handed over a letter at this time, and he seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, of course, he still pretended to be calm and pretended to be a gentleman on the surface: "Cousin Elizabeth, this is your letter, if there is a request from you, I will not mind reading it for you." ”Collins sat upright, waiting for Elizabeth to speak like a princess waiting for a prince to kiss her hand, but she did not expect Elizabeth to come up to him, and instead of inviting him to read the letter and express her gratitude, she withdrew the letter from his hand at once."
No, Mr.
Collins," she said, "I mind. ”Lydia didn't hold back a mockery.Collins coughed lightly in embarrassment, and said stubbornly: "I know that the average reserved young lady will always be polite once or twice, and you should think of my invitation as well."
But rest assured, there is no inconvenience for me to read the letter. ”"Mr.
Collins, how many words have you had in mind?"
These words were exactly the same as those he had said in the morning that he would visit the ranch together."
Most of them came to me on the spur of nowhere."
Collins said solemnly, not in the slightest loss of face, "but sometimes I joke with myself, and come up with some compliments,[2] which often please the ladies." ”Elizabeth: "......" arguing with stupid people is a very stupid act.Based on this, Elizabeth decided not to speak anymore and focused on opening the letter, but the stupid gentleman did not want to let her go: "Cousin Elizabeth, where did this letter come from?"
”Elizabeth: "Nigerfeld Manor." ”"Nizhfeld Manor......"
"Nizhfeld Manor?"
These five words obviously had a special meaning for Mrs.
Bennet, who could hear them from far and wide, and hurried to Elizabeth's side, "Which gentleman's letter is it?"
Mr.
Bingley, Mr.
Elton, or that obnoxious barbarian Darcy?
”As any word relating to Bingley is to Mrs.
Bennett, any information relating to Mrs.
Cartelyn is the first urgent matter for Mr.
Collins."
Mr.
Darcy?
Is that Mr.
Darcy from Pemberley Manor?
”The lady said, "Do you mean that rude barbarian, exactly?"
”"Barbarians?
Yes – oh no, I mean – that's great!
”Mr.
Collins put aside First Impressions, The Philosophical Principles of Natural Science, and his cousin's letters, and considered the most important events of the moment to him: "This honorable gentleman is the nephew of my noble patron. ”
