Pride and Prejudice; Sense and Sensibility

Chapter 65

Elizabeth immediately became playful again, and asked Mr. Darcy to tell how he had fallen in love with her.She asked: "How did you take the first step? I know that once you take the first step, you will go all the way. But, how did you have such an idea in the first place?"

"I can't tell exactly when and where I saw your demeanor and heard your conversation. As for when I fell in love with you, it was a long time ago. Wait for me By the time I realize I've fallen in love with you, I'm already halfway there."

"My looks don't touch your heart; as for my manner, I'm not very polite to you at least, and almost every time I talk to you, I hope to make you sad. Be honest, do you love my abruptness?" rude?"

"I love how quick your brain is."

"You might as well be blunt, downright blunt. In fact, I'm tired of your courteous manners. There's a kind of woman in the world who speaks, thinks, and looks just to win your approval." Compliments, you are already disgusted with this kind of women. I got your attention and touched your heart because I am not like them. If you are not a real lovely person, you must hate me. But, in spite of all your efforts to conceal yourself, your feelings are noble and right, and you don't even look down on those who try to flatter you. By saying this, you don't have to bother to explain. I have thought it all over, and it seems to me that your love is perfectly justified. To tell the truth, you have not thought of any real advantage in me; but such things do not occur to anyone when they are in love."

"When Jane was ill at Netherfield Manor, isn't it your strength that you were so gentle and considerate to her?"

"Jane is very kind! Who can't be good to her? Take it as my virtue. All my good qualities depend on your compliments, and you can say what you like; I can't Just looking for an opportunity to laugh at you, to argue with you; I'll start doing that right away, and hear me ask you: Why don't you always get straight to the point? Your first visit here, your second at Why are you ashamed to see me when you eat here? Especially when you came to visit, why did you act like that, as if you didn't care about me at all?"

"Because you put on a straight face and said nothing, I dare not talk to you."

"But I feel ashamed."

"me too."

"Then, when you come to eat, you can also talk to me more."

"If I love you less, I can talk more."

"What a coincidence, your answer is always so reasonable, and I am so sensible that I will admit your answer! I think, if I don't talk to you, you don't know how long it will be delayed; if I don't ask you I don't know when you will say it. It was only because I made up my mind to thank you for your kindness to Lydia that this was brought about. I'm afraid it's done too hard if I say, We got the current comfort because we broke our original promise, how can that be morally acceptable? I really shouldn’t have brought up that matter, it was a big mistake.”

"Don't be sad, it's morally justified. Madam Catherine is unreasonable and wants to separate us, but this has relieved me of all doubts. I don't think that the current happiness is all due to your gratitude to me. I didn't intend to wait for you to speak first. When I heard my aunt's words, I was hopeful, and I decided to make things clear at once."

"Lady Catherine has been a great help, and she should be glad herself, for she likes to help people. But tell me, what are you going to do at Netherfield this time? Is it just to ride a horse?" Embarrassed to come to Longbourn? Aren't you unprepared for something serious?"

"The real purpose of my coming here is to have a look at you. If possible, I also want to find a way to study whether there is hope to make you fall in love with me. As for others, in my own heart, I always say , in order to see if your sister still has affection for Bingley, I resolved to explain the matter to him."

"Have you the courage to announce to Lady Catherine what she has done to herself?"

"It's not that I have no courage, but I have no time, Elizabeth. But this thing must be done, and if you will give me a piece of paper, I will do it at once."

"If I hadn't had a letter to write myself, I would have sat by your side admiring your neat calligraphy like another young lady." 10..It's a pity that I also have an aunt, so I have to write to her again."

Besides, some time ago, my aunt overestimated the friendship between Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy, and Elizabeth was unwilling to explain the matter to her aunt, so the long letter written by Mrs. Gardner has not been answered. Now add this The gratifying news told her that she would love it.But Elizabeth felt ashamed to let her aunt and aunt know the news three days late.She immediately wrote:

Dear aunt, I should have thanked you for your early return to thank you for your long, kind and satisfying letter, which gave me all the details, but I was too out of sorts to write.The situation you imagined at the time is really exaggerated.But now, you can think whatever you want.

Regarding this matter, you can let your imagination run wild, as long as you don't think I'm married, you won't guess too much.You'll have to write another letter at once to praise him, much more than your last letter.

I want to thank you for not taking me on a trip to the Lake District.How silly of me, why go to the Lake District?You said that you want to get some ponies to go to the garden. This plan is really interesting.From now on, we can go around in circles in that garden every day.

I am now the happiest person in the world.Maybe others have said it before, but no one can live up to the name as I do.I was even happier than Jane, who just smiled and I laughed out loud.

Mr. Darcy greets you with a part of my love.Welcome to Pemberley for Christmas.

Your niece (abbreviated below)

Mr. Darcy's letter to Lady Catherine is not in the same tone as this letter, and Mr. Bennet's letter to Mr. Collins is quite different from these two letters.

Mr. Nephew:

I must trouble you to congratulate me again.Elizabeth is soon to be Mrs. Darcy.Please do your best to comfort Lady Catherine.If I were in your position, I must side with my nephew, because he can give people greater benefits.

Yumou hands
Miss Bingley's letter of congratulations to her brother on his impending marriage was as sweet as it was insincere.She even wrote to Jane to congratulate her, repeating the old hypocrisy.Although Jane is no longer deceived by her, she is still moved by her.Even though he no longer trusted her, he still replied her a letter with extremely kind words, which really made her feel ashamed.

Miss Darcy wrote to say that she had been as delighted at the news as her brother had been at it.Four sheets of paper were not enough to express the joy in her heart, and it was not enough to show how earnestly she hoped that her sister-in-law would love her.

Before Mr. Collins' reply came, and Elizabeth had not yet received Mrs. Collins' congratulations, the Longburns heard that they were coming to Lou's soon.The reason for their sudden departure is easy to understand.

Lady Catherine was furious at the letter from her aunt and nephew, and Charlotte was so delighted with the marriage that she was obliged to keep it out of the way until after the storm had passed.For Elizabeth, it was a great pleasure for her good friend to come on such a wedding day, but it was a pity that when they met, seeing Mr. Collins's fawning and flattering attitude towards Darcy, she would not be happy. I can't help but think that this kind of happiness is not worth the candle.Darcy, however, tolerated it very calmly.And Sir William Lucas, who complimented Darcy on getting the most precious pearl in the area, and said very respectfully that he hoped to see him often in the palace in the future.Mr. Darcy could hear even these words, and did not shrug his shoulders until Sir William had gone away.

And Mrs. Philips, who was very vulgar, might make Darcy even more intolerable.Lady Philip, like her sister, who, seeing Mr. Bingley's good-natured manner, made conversation easy, was in awe of Darcy, but vulgarity was not unavoidable in her speech.Although she seldom talks to Darcy because she respects Darcy, she does not appear to be polite because of this.In order to keep Darcy from being pestered by these people, Elizabeth tried to make him talk to herself, and to those in her family who would not make him suffer.Although this entertainment greatly diminished the pleasure of love, it increased her expectation of a future life, and she was eager to leave these annoying characters and go to Pemberley, with his family, and live a life of elegance and fun. life.
