Chapter 28 Chapter Twenty Seven

The Longbourn family had no other great affairs than these; no diversions except a walk in Meryton.The first month and February, which were sometimes rainy and muddy, and sometimes windy and cold, passed like this.Elizabeth is going to Hunsford in March.At first she had not really intended to go; but she at once recollected the great expectations Charlotte had placed on the original engagement, and she considered the question with a greater willingness and certainty.Separation promotes her desire to be reunited with Charlotte and eliminates her dislike of Mr. Collins.There is always something novel about this plan; besides, with such a mother and such a few sisters who are not in harmony in the family, it is hard to be perfect, so a change of environment is also good.She might as well go and see Jane while she was traveling; in any case, the time was drawing near, and she could not wait any longer.All went well for her, and finally, as Charlotte had intended, she went for a visit with Sir William and his second daughter.Later this plan was supplemented by a decision to spend the night in London, which proved to be a perfect plan.

Only parting from her father pained her, and he must have missed her.As a matter of fact, he did not want her to go at all, and now that the matter had been decided, he had to make her write to him often, and almost promised to answer her letters himself. When she took leave of Mr. Wickham, both parties were very polite, Wickham more polite than she.Although he was courting others at present, he did not forget that Elizabeth was the first to catch his attention, the first to be worthy of his attention, the first to listen to his heart, the first to pity him, the first to He had won her admiration; he bade her farewell, wished her all the best, and told her once more De.Mrs. Power was a very good person, and he believed that their evaluation of the old lady and everyone must be exactly the same.He said this with such earnestness and interest that must have endowed her with the deepest affection for him.After they parted, she was more convinced that whether he married or single, he would always be in her mind a most amiable and agreeable man.

Those who traveled with her the next day did not make Wickham any less in her mind.Sir William could scarcely utter a pleasant word, and his daughter Maria, good-tempered as she was, was as empty-headed as her father, and could not utter a pleasant word.Listening to their father and daughter talking is as boring as hearing the rumble of a car.Elizabeth was fond of nonsense, but she was tired of hearing Sir William's.He talked about audiences to the Emperor and knighthoods and such anecdotes, and he couldn't find anything new; his manners were as old as his speech. The journey was no more than twenty-four miles, and they started early in order to reach Tennessee Street by noon.Jane was watching them from the drawing-room window as they approached Mr. Gardiner's door.Jane was waiting to meet them as they approached the passage, and Elizabeth gazed earnestly into Jane's face, and was pleased to find it as healthy and beautiful as ever.The boys and girls, anxious to see their cousin, could not wait in the drawing-room, and were embarrassed to go downstairs because they hadn't seen each other for a year, so they all stayed at the landing.There is an atmosphere of joy and kindness everywhere.It was a very pleasant day; I was busy making a mess in the morning, and I had to go shopping again; I went to the theater to watch a play in the evening.

Elizabeth sat down beside her aunt.The two of them first talked about her sister.She asked a lot of questions carefully, and her aunt replied that, although Jane tried her best to keep her spirits up, she would inevitably lose her spirits.She was not very surprised when she heard it, but she was very depressed. How long will her depression continue.Mrs. Gardiner also related to Elizabeth all the circumstances surrounding Miss Bingley's visits to Tennessee Street, and repeated to her several conversations which Jane had had with her, which were sufficient to show that Jane really intended to do away with Bin. Miss Gray has come and gone.

Mrs. Gardiner then recounted Wickham's desertion of Elizabeth, and made fun of her niece, while admiring her patience. She went on: But, dear Elizabeth, what kind of girl is Miss King?I don't want to think of our friend as a money-hungry person. May I ask you, dear aunt, taking marriage as an example, what is the difference between jealousy for money and legitimate motives?How far is it to be polite, but where is it considered to be greedy?Last Christmas you were afraid of me marrying him, because it was not serious, but now, he's going to marry a girl who has only ten thousand pounds, and you will say that he has no money.

As long as you tell me what kind of girl Miss Jin is, I'll know what to say. I believe she is a good girl.I can't tell what's wrong with her. But Wickham didn't pay attention to her at all. Why did he take a fancy to her once her grandfather passed away and she became the owner of the family property? Nothing, why would he do that?If it is said that he doesn't want to fall in love with me because I have no money, then why should he want to fall in love with a girl he has never cared about, a girl who is also poor? However, as soon as this incident happened in her family, it would be outrageous for him to court her.

A person in a difficult situation does not have the leisure to pay attention to these red tapes like ordinary people.As long as she doesn't object, why should we object? Just because she doesn't object doesn't mean he's doing the right thing.That just shows that she has some flaws, whether she is flawed in knowledge or in feeling. Oh, cried Elizabeth: Say what you like, call him greedy, call her stupid. No Liz, I don't say that.You know, I can't bear to speak ill of a young man who has lived so long in Derbyshire. Oh, if that's all, I despise the young men in Derbyshire, and their bosom friends in Hertfordshire are not much better.They all call me a nuisance.Thank goodness!Tomorrow I'm going to a place where I'm going to meet a worthless man, neither in manners nor in opinion.At the end of the day, only fools are worth hanging out with.

Be careful, Liz; that's a very depressing thing to say. It was an unexpected pleasure that, when they had finished the play, and were just about to part, her aunt and aunt invited her to join them on their summer excursion. Mrs. Gardiner said: We haven't quite decided where exactly we're going, maybe the Lake District. No plan could have been more pleasing to Elizabeth than this one, and she accepted the invitation without hesitation, and with great gratitude.My good aunt, dear aunt, she exclaimed joyfully, how happy, how happy!You have given me new life and vitality.I am no longer depressed and blue.What are people compared to mountains and boulders?What happy days we shall have!When we come back, we will definitely not be like ordinary tourists, everything is superficial.We must know where we have been | We must remember what we have seen.Lakes, mountains and rivers will never be confused in our minds; when we want to talk about a certain scenery, we will never even understand the location and argue with each other.Let us hope that, when we come back, our account of our wanderings and wanderings will not be so clichéd as the common traveller's.
