Elizabeth was amused by Darcy's rare flattery: "Then I must remind you that my painting skills are only passable, not good." ”"It doesn't matter.Its author is already worth everything. ”Elizabeth's heart beat again.She suddenly realized that Mr.
Darcy didn't know when this ambiguous love story was really effortless!
They walked to the room next to the dance hall, which was supposed to be a place for people to rest and play cards.But because the ball had just begun, no one wanted to spoil the host's pleasure, so the room was empty."
Are you ready?""
Of course, Miss Elizabeth.""
Do you want to stay still?""
At your mercy, Miss Elizabeth."
It's still Mr.
Darcy who flirts!
Elizabeth thought to herself.She had to keep her own attention on Mr.
Darcy's face so that her face did not turn red.It has to be said that Mr.
Darcy's appearance is very delicate, and it was a challenge to paint a portrait of him.His eyes are particularly deep, and the brushwork is not at all shown.But if it's too strong, you won't be able to depict the purity of your eyes.The shape of his mouth is a very obvious inheritance of the Darcy family, and the distinctive lines must be observed in detail to capture.And the outline after that needs to be more serious, the slightest mistake will damage the image quality.Elizabeth's mind went through various ways of drawing, miniatures, busts, full-length portraits, pencil drawings, crayon drawings, watercolors[1], and she thought about them all and finally finalized the pencil busts.The reason is that Mr.
Darcy is also in impeccable shape, which cannot be missed.But if you choose a full-body portrait, you will reduce the detailed description of his face, which is also a pity.So to sum up, a bust is the most suitable.After she began to paint, Elizabeth realized how ambiguous it was to be in a quiet hut and how ambiguous it would be!
The two of them kept making eye contact, and every time they made eye contact, she felt that the room temperature had risen a little more.The scorching heat forced her to take off her shawl and reveal her carefully selected gown.She was wearing a plain white off-the-shoulder dress today.The hair is coiled high on the head, and the collarbones are fully displayed, which is particularly beautiful and seductive.Elizabeth continued to concentrate on painting, but felt Darcy's gaze burn even more.This gaze prevented her from concentrating on painting, and she had to say, "Mr.
Darcy, could you try to look at the candle to the right?"
”"......"
"Yes, tilt your head to the right.""......"
"That's it, this angle will be more in place for the portrayal of the eyes."
Very clumsy excuses that can be clearly judged by both the speaker and the listener.However, since Elizabeth was able to bite the bullet, Darcy had no choice but to listen to it for the sake of politeness, and reluctantly withdrew his gaze.Elizabeth breathed a sigh of relief.Darcy was a little restless, for he could feel Elizabeth's constant gaze at him, but he could not reciprocate.This made him feel an inexplicable emotion surging up in his heart, and he became anxious all of a sudden.It was a very rare feeling, to be precise, he had never felt like this in twenty-eight years.He wanted to get up now, and then ......
Kiss her.But she couldn't spoil her painting, Darcy thought, and then she forced the urge to do so.* Time flies very quickly, both for the guests dancing outside the house and for the lovers painting inside.Let's start with Mr.
Elton.Since the ball, he has wanted to get close to Elizabeth and invite her to dance.But she danced with Darcy in the first two shows.It was hard to wait for her to rest, but she and Darcy quietly walked to the lounge again.I don't know if it was out of curiosity or jealousy, but he walked around the lounge and took a look.And then—only a sigh, but a resolute look slowly flashed in his eyes, as if he had finally made up his mind.After Jane and Mr.
Bingley had danced two or three more dances with the other girls and Mr.
Bingley.By the time of the sixth branch, they were together again.The message of this could not be more obvious.The most proud is Mrs.
Bennet, but unfortunately she wanted to show off this good family affair to the crowd around her, but found that Manly had been standing by her side and did not give her a chance to reveal the news, which made her very disappointed and helpless.The most depressed of all is Miss Bingley.She endured Mr.
Collins' annoying nagging, and by the time of the third dance, she found that Mr.
Darcy and Elizabeth were missing.Later, when the dancers got tired and switched to playing cards, they learned that the two of them were painting there.When she entered the house, Elizabeth's painting was almost finished.The models are very satisfying and the artists are also highly skilled.[1] The painting is a very beautiful portrait by all accounts.The more beautiful the portrait, the more the person who painted it and the person who painted it enjoyed, the more unhappy Miss Bingley became.She haughtily walked up to Elizabeth and said, "Miss Elizabeth Bennet despises the cards, she is a great artist, and is not interested in anything else[2]. ”Elizabeth glanced at her and said, "I dare not take such a compliment, nor such a reproach, Miss Bingley."
I'm not a great artist, and I have fun with a lot of things[2]. ”"Then I would like to ask, do you find the painting itself happy, or do you find it happy to stare at our Mr.
Darcy like this?"
Very bitter question, Miss Bingley originally intended to "expose" Elizabeth in front of Mr.
Darcy in order to raise her value, using lowly tricks, in front of men to show off her talents, in order to win favor.But she apparently ignored the secret flow of affection between the two people.Elizabeth glanced sideways at Darcy, and saw that his heart was racing, his face was ruddy, and his pupils were dilated.Then he said slowly, "You are right, Miss Bingley."
It's fun to paint, but it's not as fun as looking at Mr.
Darcy like this, it's a rare opportunity. ”The author has something to say:[1] Inspired by Chapter 7 of Mrs.
Austin's Emma, it is partly adapted from the plot in which Emma paints Harriet.[2] Adapted from Chapter 8 of the original book.Chapter 37 Collins proposes Miss Bingley is secretly angry with Elizabeth, unaware that a greater challenge awaits her—that our stupid and ignorant Mr.
Collins is ready to propose.His vacation is due to expire on next Saturday, and he does not know when he will be able to see Miss Bingley again after this day.So he decided not to waste time, and in the presence of this crowd, he completed the important things in his life[1].After Elizabeth finished painting the esteemed Mr.
Darcy, of course.For Mr.
Collins, marriage is nothing more than a gift to life.The main task God gave him was to serve and please Madame de Baur and those around her.Most of the reasons for marrying Miss Bingley were for this purpose.Therefore, for the sake of the marriage proposal, it is absolutely impossible to disturb Mr.
Darcy's Yaxing.What's more, Miss Bingley is also admiring it with relish.I heard that she is also very good at drawing.Looking at this beautiful picture, Mr.
Collins had already imagined that he would take his beautiful wife to Rosings Manor to paint portraits of Madame de Baul and Mademoiselle de Baur.After the painting, Miss Bingley can also present a piano piece and recite a poem.It is okay to show your talents properly, as long as you do not exceed Miss Debaul.…… Such fantasies were enough to sustain him through the waiting time.As the night wore on, the Whipsto players had already gathered two tables.The people at both tables had invited Collins to join before, but he politely declined them one by one, in order not to miss the best time to propose.Finally, Mr.
Darcy's bust was completed.Mr.
Collins stepped forward, greeted Darcy for five minutes, and then said, "Mr.
Darcy, I would like to ask you to speak privately with Miss Bingley, do you approve of it?"
”"I have no right to object, but you have to ask Miss Bingley."
Darcy may have been in a good mood and had said so much to Collins at once, which encouraged the latter."
I don't think there's anything I can talk to you privately, Mr.
Collins."

Miss Bingley said coldly."
I may be aware of your concerns.But rest assured, Miss Bingley.For God's sake, I would never have done such a rude thing like Mr.
Thief.I am an upright pastor who will not resort to vile and indecent means. ”This seized Miss Bingley at once, and it made her annoyed and embarrassed, but she could not say anything against it.She thought about it for a while, and thought it would be good to be able to settle the matter quickly and quietly.[1] She sat down again, watching with a cold face as Collins flattered the guests out of the chess room.It's ridiculous.Obviously this is her brother's manor, but she sees an outsider doing a good job here.Miss Bingley thought that though damned Wickham was to blame for everything, he was at least somewhat self-aware and not self-righteous and arrogant like the foolish priest."
Miss Bingley, your shyness and irritability do you no harm, but add to your natural beauty[1].It also convinced me that what happened outside the hospital in the evening was something you were forced to do. ”This was said so cleverly that Miss Bingley was reluctant to agree, but she could not.She had no choice but to continue to look at him coldly and suppress her anger."
Seriously, Miss Bingley, you must have been pleasantly surprised when you received my letter, didn't you?
I think you may have been so excited that you forgot your direction when you walked out of the backyard, and Mr.
Thief took advantage of it.For God's sake, it's all my fault.I should have come to your rescue sooner. ”"You're thinking wrong, Mr.
Collins."
Miss Bingley interrupted him, "I have not received any letters.I went to the backyard just because I was uncomfortable and wanted to breathe.That's all. ”"I know that young ladies often find excuses to hide their true feelings, and it doesn't matter.""
It's not an excuse, Mr.
Collins.""
If you hadn't shirked it like this, I wouldn't have thought you cute[1].""
I don't want to pass the buck."
Collinton paused, his IQ and EQ clearly not strong enough for him to see the lady's anger.He took out the small chrysanthemum that he had prepared from his back."
I think I've shown a lot of hospitality to you[1].You must understand the purpose of my desire to speak with you alone this time. ”"I don't understand.""
I think our union is a very beautiful thing.First, a well-to-do pastor like me always has to set an example of marriage for the whole diocese[1].Secondly, you are beautiful and know how to take care of the house, and marrying you will definitely make me happier.Above all, I was fortunate enough to meet such a noble benefactor as Madame de Baur in my third life[1].So it is my duty and obligation to please and serve her.I'm sure you'll accompany me to complete it perfectly. ”Miss Bingley's eyes widened as Mr.
Collins finished speaking.She tried to interrupt him many times, but he ignored him completely until he finished speaking."
You must be very happy at this moment, right?
Miss Bingley. ”"I have no idea what you're talking about.""
Madame de Baur told me that women are influenced by emotions, and she was right.I am going to pour out my warmest emotions to you in the most intense language[1].When it comes to chastity, I don't care at all.What just happened outside, I will never say a word to outsiders.Rest assured, I will never say a stingy word[1] when we are married—"Miss Bingley must interrupt him.""
Do you know what you're talking about, Mr.
Collins?""
I'm proposing to you, and for God's sake, we're the perfect match.""
The most perfect?"
Miss Bingley laughed angrily, "Do you think we're a match?"
”"As I said, I don't care about chastity—" Mr.
Collins. ”She could only interrupt him again, and she found that when she spoke to him, she had to make her meaning clear, or with his arrogant nature, she didn't know how to comprehend, "I mean family and property."
Do you think I can afford the meager income of an ordinary pastor?
”Collins waved his hand solemnly: "When a young girl meets someone proposing marriage for the first time, even if she agrees in her heart, she will always refuse verbally.So even if you reject me on such an excuse, I will not be discouraged.After all, I hope to lead you to the altar soon[1]. ”"No, I don't have any intention of stepping into the altar with you.""
I believe your refusal is just talk.This is very much in line with the woman's delicate personality and encourages me to chase harder [1]. ”"Please be a little self-aware, Mr.
Collins.""
Madame de Baur must have been very pleased with our union.When I saw you just now, I thought how wonderful and wonderful it was that I had taken you to Rosings Manor to paint Madame de Baur. ”"Please stop your fantasies, Mr.
Collins.""
You should dress normally when you go to visit.Madame de Baur is a generous person, and if you are a little more dignified and steady in front of her, she will definitely like you[1]. ”"......"
In the face of such a foolish man, Miss Bingley found herself utterly powerless.She couldn't stand it anymore, so she could only stand up and grab the door.Outside the door was a crowd of gossipy onlookers.Miss Bingley looked very unsightly, nodded to a few friends, and went upstairs without a sound.No matter how bold Collins was, he would not dare to go to his master's room without permission.This was probably the only way for her to hide from the plague god.What is happening indoors, although you can't hear it clearly from the outside, can guess a thing or two.After Miss Bingley went upstairs, the gossip was already spreading among the crowd.* Elizabeth was not at all surprised to hear rumours of Mr.
Collins and Miss Bingley's marriage proposal.After all, she was the one who suffered from it in her last life!
I don't know what happened in this life, Mr.
Collins actually shifted his target.She didn't actually do anything, because the main goal at the moment was to prevent the union of Wickham and Lydia.But it is possible that some small detail changes actually made Wickham and Collins "fall in love" with Miss Bingley at the same time.Elizabeth was still a little relieved by this, but she couldn't help but feel a little guilty about Miss Bingley.She is not a bad person, but she has a bad temper and a little jealousy, but she bears these inferior feelings and tests in the place of the Bennet sisters."
I guessed Mr.
Collins's purpose before, but I could have helped her, maybe it wouldn't have been so embarrassing."
Elizabeth stuck her tongue out at Darcy."
Mr.
Collins' intentions are indeed obvious."
Darcy said calmly.Elizabeth looked at him with some surprise: "As a good friend of Miss Bingley's brother, won't you stop this ugly thing?"
”Darcy replied, "Miss Bingley has many flaws in her character, many of which her brother has connived up.It's good for her to experience these innocuous things properly.In fact, she is not a bad boy by nature. ”"Kid?"

Elizabeth was a little ridiculous about Darcy's title.Obviously, this "child" is still thinking about uniting with him all day long, she thought."
For Charles's sake, the people of Meriton will not make a big deal about it, don't worry.""
I don't have anything to worry about."
Elizabeth smiled."
In that case," Darcy's lips hooked, "shall we change the subject?"
”Elizabeth asked him what topic he wanted to talk about."
Miss Bingley asked you whether you thought it was just the pleasure of painting itself, or whether it was more interesting to paint for me, and you seemed to have chosen the latter."
Elizabeth: "......"
Elizabeth: "That's right. ”"So you find it a pleasure to be alone with me."“…… So to speak. ”"It's not boring to look at me all the time, even for an hour or two?""
Not at all.""
So," Darcy's ears slowly turned a seductive red, "I want to understand that you actually like me a little.Is that okay, Miss Elizabeth?
”The author has something to say: T.T feels that Elizabeth and Darcy's emotional drama is a little bit beyond the 19th century.But because one of the original intentions of writing the same people was that I felt that the original sugar was not sweet enough, I ......
I ignored this kind of bug~ There may be a chapter tonight (look at the speed of the codeword~)!
Notes: [1] Adapted from Chapter 19 of the original book.Chapter 38 DeparturesRegarding the question of Mr.
Collins' unconscionable attempt to marry, the rumors in the town were almost over in a day or two.Miss Bingley had a minor illness, which quickly improved, but she was on bed rest for two weeks.Mr.
Collins no longer visited the Nigerfeld estate, but he did not change his original plans.He continued to stay in the Ban Mansion in Langborne, occasionally examining his property, to the detriment of the Bennett sisters.Wickham disappeared for three or four days before reappearing in the town.He tried to get close to Miss Bingley, but was turned away.According to the servants of the Nigerfeld estate, the last time he came, he happened to be bumped into by Mr.
Darcy.I don't know what the two said, but I know that Wickham left in disgrace and never appeared at Nigerfeld Manor again.It's just that in a few days, he will be active next to Miss Jin again.Wickham is a dowry detector, and his target is unmistakable every time.Miss King's dowry, though not as good as Miss Bingley, was £10,000.However, Elizabeth estimates that although Miss Kim is simple, she is not a fool.Wickham himself had a terrible reputation for being stirred up by Collins in Meriton, and even if Miss King was blinded by his appearance, her family would not agree.Kitty and Lydia are still the same, with a girl's natural temperament.Manly practiced piano and read books when she had nothing to do, and not long after the Tuesday dance, Ms.
Christine wrote to invite her to stay at her house.On Friday, with Mr.
Bennet's approval, she followed Mr.
Jenner and Mr.
Jenner Jr. to London.Jane and Elizabeth often traveled together to the Nigerfeld estate.When the weather was nice, Mr.
Bingley and Mr.
Darcy would accompany them for walks in the garden.They often start out as a group of four, and after about five minutes of walking, Elizabeth and Darcy slowly come to a footing and leave Jane and Mr.
Bingley alone.At one point, Elizabeth asked Darcy, "What do you think would be the result if Mr.
Bingley and my sister were united?"
”They talk about topics casually every day, almost nothing."
Want to hear the truth?""
I want to hear the truth.""
There is a high probability that it will be very happy.They were both gentle and kind people, and this union avoided many of the quarrels and intrigues in marriage.But they are not good at expressing their own ideas, and they are willing to accommodate when encountering problems, and it is easy to lose their principles.In the face of major difficulties, such a combination is not stable. ”Elizabeth glanced at Darcy in surprise.It can be said that referring to the actual situation in his previous life, he speculated that he would not be far from ten."
So what makes a perfect marriage?"
She asked again."
I don't think anything can be called perfect, and the same is true of marriage.""
Then let me ask you another way, what do you think is the most important thing for the union of a pair of lovers?""
Communication.In the continuous running-in of exchanges, the two sides will become more and more tacit.Just like we do now. ”If this kind of conversation goes on to the end, I don't know what kind of outcome it will be.Unfortunately, the presence of Mr.
Bingley interrupted Elizabeth and Darcy's discussion about marriage."
Your face isn't pretty, Charles, what's wrong?"
Darcy asked."
Less-than-ideal things.I need to rush to London right away to get my business done.I would be very grateful if you could stay with me. ”Mr.
Bingley looked worried.So, the days of the sweet date between the two pairs of "lovers" came to an abrupt end.Jane was very sad, she was very dependent on Mr.
Bingley's company, but she also knew the importance of his affairs.It's just that the emotions are uncontrollable, and for several days after Mr.
Bingley is gone, he is sullen.Elizabeth was much better in comparison.On the one hand, it was because she knew Darcy far better than Jane knew about Mr.
Bingley.So this anxiety is naturally a little less.On the other hand, she received a letter from Mr.
Jenner.The letter said that the experiment of smallpox inoculation could be put on the agenda.* In mid-December, Mrs.
Bennett's brother and sister-in-law, Mr. and Mrs.
Jadina, visited Panfu.Before leaving, they invited the Bennett family to London for Christmas.Mr.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Bennet liked quiet, and naturally had no interest in London.Mrs.
Bennet was still lamenting the sudden disappearance of Mr.
Bingley, Mr.
Elton and Mr.
Collins, and the marriages that were about to be brokered, so she said that she had no intention of going out.Jane had suffered from a cold and had been bedridden at home for the past few days, and could not travel to London, even though she was very much eager to be with Mr.
Bingley there.As for Elizabeth, who was invited to her heart's content, she was still thinking about what excuse she should make to "disappear" for a month and go to London for smallpox experiments.Lydia and Kitty are also willing to go.Elizabeth was a little unhappy at first, but then thought about it, wouldn't it be right to isolate the two sisters, especially Lydia, from Wickham?
So, on December 20, the Jardiners, Elizabeth, Lydia and Kitty set out from Langburn for London.In the cold winter season, heavy snow falls.It's a twenty-four-mile journey.But the carriage was moving slowly, and the road was rough.They set out before dawn in the morning and arrived at Zipsey Street near evening.Elizabeth wrote to Darcy beforehand to inform them of their itinerary.When they arrived, Mr.
Darcy and Mr.
Bingley were already waiting in the drawing-room.Mrs.
Jardina had seen Pemberley with her own eyes, and was also a well-known name to old Mr.
Darcy[1].It was a surprise and joy to see the legendary Mr.
Darcy in his own home.Mr.
Darcy has an elegant demeanor and a noble demeanor.He is also extremely polite and does not put on a show at all[2].The neighbors of Meriton all said that this gentleman was rude and had no one in his eyes, which was nonsense.She didn't see the slightest hint of conceit or arrogance on his part."
I haven't heard that you and Mr.
Darcy know each other."
She asked Elizabeth quietly.During her time at Langborne, Mrs.
Bennet nagged her about the entanglements between Mr.
Bingley, who earns five thousand pounds a year, with Jane, the pestilence Collins, the pestilence god, and the militia regiment at Meriton, among other things.There is no mention of Darcy's relationship with Elizabeth."
We're friends."
Elizabeth replied briefly, but her rapidly dyed cheeks soon betrayed her.Mrs.
Jiadina is not stupid, and at her age, she is especially sensitive to the feelings between men and women.She quickly judged from the conversation and silent communication between the two of them that their relationship was extraordinary.This made her even more pleasantly surprised, and she silently began to observe it to confirm the relationship between the two more accurately.Mr.
Darcy greeted Elizabeth's family, then looked at her earnestly, and whispered, "Welcome to London again, Miss Elizabeth." ”"If I say I'm in Pembry, then there's no problem with you saying that.But Mr.
Darcy, the city of London is not yours!
”Elizabeth playfully joked."
How about a change to 'I'm so happy you're here in London'?""
Barely passing.But I can't think of a better way to put it than that. ”Elizabeth chuckled out a small chuckle.Darcy looked at Elizabeth quietly, and there was a smile in his eyes."
Actually, what I want to say is: I miss you very much, Miss Elizabeth."
He paused, then said suddenly.The author has something to say: [1] Quoting Chapter 25 of the original work.[2] Quoted from chapter 43 of the original work.Chapter 39: Smallpox Experiments: The Gardiners and Miss Bennet had a tiring day and needed an early rest.So, Darcy and Bingley quickly took their leave.Mr.
Bingley was disappointed not to be able to see Jane.However, after learning that she was bedridden due to the cold, he only prayed that she would get well soon.At the same time, he was even more glad that his affairs had progressed, and in two months at most, he would be able to settle them completely and return to the Nizhfeld estate.Compared to Mr.
Bingley, Mr.
Darcy was very happy in his trip.He was still in the carriage and was still thinking about inviting Miss Elizabeth to the play after Christmas.didn't expect that this goodbye would be nearly a whole month.
--Wednesday, December 25, 1811, Christmas Day.When Elizabeth went out in the morning, the city of London was suffering from a downpour.Heavy rains washed over the streets, and the mixture of rain and snow was muddy.By the time she got home at noon, the rain had stopped and there was a light snow in the sky.Dr.
Jenner had accompanied her back, much to the surprise of Mrs.
Gardener."
My dear Elizabeth, you look lifeless.What's going on, doctor?
”"Miss Elizabeth has a wind chill, which must be due to the weather."
Dr.
Jenner made a brief excuse.In fact, Elizabeth spent the whole morning with Dr.
Jenner for a scheduled smallpox experiment.At the same time and place, the crowd was twice as large as last month.In full view, Dr.
Jenner extracted smallpox pus from a smallpox patient and cut through Elizabeth's skin, completing the smallpox infection.The whole process was actually very simple, but both the onlookers and Jenner himself were so nervous that they held their breath, and suddenly they felt like years in seconds.
--"Ahh"Miss Elizabeth—" "I'm all right, Mr.
Jenner. ”Elizabeth waved her hand.Seeing the doctor so nervous, Mrs.
Gardena, who was already frightened, panicked instantly: "This Christmas is really unlucky, Jane has fallen ill in Langborne, and now my dearest Elizabeth has also suffered.God, I wish I could do something for the two poor girls. ”"If I can have a bowl of mushroom and potato soup, I'm very satisfied."
Elizabeth winked at Mrs.
Gardena, her voice a little hoarse."
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Well, poor Elizabeth, if a bowl of mushroom and potato soup can bring you happiness, then I will go and stew it now, and I hope it will make you feel better."
Mrs.
Gardener, knowing that a doctor was present, would not do her much good by her side, so she went downstairs and told the cook to prepare a fresh hot soup.After Mrs.
Gardener left, Elizabeth's coughing stopped instantly.Dr.
Jenner immediately understood what was going on, and he closed the door to Elizabeth's room."'
Miss Elizabeth is seriously ill and needs to stay in bed for at least twenty days.But fortunately, she did not have to worry about her life.However, during this period, I try to minimize contact with outsiders, and I will come to the clinic every day."
How's that to say?""
No problem at all."
Elizabeth said with a smile.Her voice is crisp, where is the hoarseness before?
His face became normal, and he didn't look like a patient when he sat down."
Miss Elizabeth, I have to say, you are very suitable to play a seriously ill person.I don't think even the actors in Zhu Rui Lane are as good as you, and even at the beginning, you were about to confuse me, the doctor. ”"Confuse the doctors, so that my family can believe them more, don't you say, Mr.
Jenner?"
Elizabeth said in an innocent tone."
That's right."
Jenner laughed, "But it's really hard for you, Miss Elizabeth."
Although such a season is suitable for staying by the fire, it is not easy to endure to stay in bed for 20 days. ”Both Elizabeth and Mr.
Jenner were steadfast in their belief in the preventive effects of cowpox on smallpox.But despite this, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, they strictly adhere to the principle of 21 days of quarantine.Mr.
Jenner instructed Elizabeth and Mrs.
Gardiner to take some precautions, and then left first, saying that he would come to the door every day at this time for diagnosis.Mrs.
Gardiner was busy and thanked.As soon as Mr.
Jenner walked on his front foot, Darcy knocked on the door of the Gardiners' house.He looks dignified and elegant today in a black coat and brown boots.A few snowflakes fell on the brim of his hat, but they told him about his urgency."
Merry Christmas, Mrs.
Gardener."
He took off his hat and bowed slightly."
Merry Christmas, Mr.
Darcy."
Mrs.
Gardener sulked, "I have bad news for you: Elizabeth is sick. ”"Sick?"
Darcy was stunned, "Is the situation serious?"
Can I go in and have a visit?
”"I'm sorry, Mr.
Darcy, I'm afraid not.The doctor said that she had a cold and was very contagious, and that she needed to rest now. ”Darcy's eyes panicked for a moment, but he immediately calmed himself down: "I'll go get the best doctor right away."
If memory serves, Mr.
Jenner has been in town lately. ”"It was Dr.
Jenner who diagnosed Elizabeth, not long before you came.""
Dr.
Jenner?
Mr.
Edward Jenner?
”Darcy froze."
That's right.Elizabeth and Manly went to Mr.
Jenner's house early this morning, and when she came back, something like this happened, what a poor girl. ”Mrs.
Gardiner sighed again, "Come into the house and speak, Mr.
Darcy.I'm afraid that Elizabeth will get the cold because she freezes outside.Don't get sick again. ”
