Chapter 29 Chapter Twenty Eight

Everything on the next day's journey seemed new and interesting to Elizabeth; her spirits were high, for her sister's health was relieved from the sight of her looking so well, and the thought of the journey to the North refreshed her all the more. Happy.When they turned off the high road and took a lane to Hunsford, every eye was in search of the parsonage; at every turn they thought they would see it.They walked along the fence in Rosings Gardens.Elizabeth couldn't help laughing when she thought of the family and the situation that the outside world had heard about. At last I saw the vicarage.The garden diagonally across the road, the house in the garden, the green palisade, and the laurel hedge—everything seemed to announce their arrival.Mr. Collins and Charlotte came to the door.Amid the frequent nodding and smiling of the guests and hosts, the guests stopped their cars in front of a small gate, from which they could go directly to the main house through a short cobblestone paved road.In a blink of an eye, they all got out of the car, and the host and guest met each other with infinite joy.Collins greeted his friend with almost dancing, and Elizabeth was all the more satisfied with her visit, being so cordially received.She saw at once that her cousin's marriage had not changed his attitude. He was still exactly as formal as ever, and he held her at the door for several minutes to inquire about the well-being of her family.After hearing her answer one by one, he was satisfied.He therefore did not delay them any longer, but showed them how neat the door was, and led the guests into the house; He said that it was a great honor to have you all come to the humble house this time, and he did not hesitate to re-dedicate the snacks brought by his wife.

Elizabeth had long expected his elation to be so great, that when he boasted of the beauty of the house, its design, and all its furnishings, she could not help thinking that he had told her that, as if to make her understand that she had refused Losing him is such a big loss.Though everything was indeed neat and comfortable, she must not show him the slightest trace of remorse to flatter him; she even looked at Charlotte with wonder, she could not understand that Charlotte and such Why are you so happy when you get along with a partner of yours?Mr. Collins's occasional remarks, which his own wife would have been ashamed to hear, and not infrequent, made Elizabeth involuntarily ask Charlotte. Dee takes a look.Charlotte once or twice blushed a little at the sight, but generally pretended not to hear, wisely.After sitting together for some time, admiring every piece of furniture, from the sideboard to the mantelpiece, and talking of the way and all things in London, Mr. Collins invited them to walk in the garden. walk.The garden is large and well arranged, and everything is taken care of by him himself.His noblest pastime was gardening.Charlotte said it was a healthful operation, and encouraged him as much as she could; and she spoke of it with a calmness which Elizabeth admired.He led them through the winding paths and paths in the garden, saw every scene, and had to talk about each place in trivial terms. Whether it was beautiful or not was not on his mind at all. I can't get in my mouth if I want to praise a few words.He could count the fields in every direction, and he could tell the number of trees in the farthest grove, but whether it was the scenery in his own garden, or the sights of the whole country or even the country. Either way, nothing compares to the view of Rosings Gardens.Rosings Gardens was almost directly opposite his house, surrounded by trees and visible through gaps in the woods.It was a beautiful building, standing on a high ground.

Mr. Collins would have taken them out of the garden to look at the two lawns, but the ladies' shoes could not resist the remnants of hoarfrost, and they all walked back, leaving Sir William alone for company.Charlotte, who accompanied her sister and friends to the house, was overjoyed at having an opportunity to show herself, without the aid of her husband.The house was small, but well built, and convenient; everything was neatly arranged and harmoniously arranged, and Elizabeth praised Charlotte very much.As long as you don't think of Mr. Collins, there is a really nice atmosphere.Elizabeth, seeing Charlotte's self-satisfaction, could not help thinking that Mr. Collins was not usually on her mind.

Elizabeth has found out that Mrs. Catelyn is still in the country.The matter was brought up again at dinner, when Mr. Collins immediately interrupted: Exactly, Miss Elizabeth, you will have the honor of seeing Caitlin in church on Sunday evening.De.Mrs. Power, you will love her.She's very humble and unassuming, and I'm sure you'll be honored to have her eye on you after church that day.I can say without hesitation that, as long as you stay here, whenever she does us a favor, she will always ask you and my sister-in-law Maria.She treated my dear Charlotte very well.We dined at Rosings twice a week, and her old man never once let us walk home, but always sent us in her own carriage, I should say, one of her old man's carriages, for she had several What about the car?

Charlotte added: "Lady Catelyn is indeed a respectable and sensible woman, and a most obliging neighbour. That's right, my dear, you really mean it to me.No matter how much respect you have for a lady like her, you still feel something is missing. The evening was chiefly concerned with news from Hertfordshire, repeating what had been said in previous letters.After they were all gone, Elizabeth, alone in her room, could not help silently thinking to herself how contented Charlotte was with the present situation, how deftly she managed her husband, and how much she tolerated her husband.She could not help admitting that everything was very well arranged.She went back to imagining how the time of this visit would be spent, nothing more than: the ordinary and quiet daily life, Mr. Collins' annoying interruptions, and the entertainment with Rosings.Her fertile imagination solved the whole problem at once.

Around noon the next day, she was in her room about to go for a walk, when she heard a commotion downstairs, and immediately the whole house seemed to be in a panic; Come upstairs and call her loudly.She opened the door and met Maria at the foot of the stairs, who, breathless with excitement, exclaimed: Oh, dear Eliza, hurry to the dining-room, there is a great scene to be seen!I'm not going to tell you what's going on.Hurry up, come downstairs immediately. Elizabeth asked again and again, but could not find out anything; Maria would not tell her a word; and they both ran into the dining-room, which looked on the road, to find out.It turned out that there were two female guests in a low four-wheeled carriage and stopped at the garden gate.

Elizabeth hurriedly shouted: Is that the case?I thought it was pigs that broke into the garden, but it was just Lady Catelyn and her daughter. Maria was surprised to hear that she was wrong: Hey, dear, that's not Mrs. Caitlin.The old lady is Mrs. Jiang Jinsheng, she lives with them; the other is De.Miss Power.Just look at the way she looks.She was a very tiny person.Who would have thought she would be so thin, so small! It was very rude of her to keep Charlotte out of the door in such a strong wind.Why doesn't she come in? Oh, said Charlotte, how seldom she comes in.De.It would be a great honor for Miss Bauer to come in once.

She is very attractive in that way, Elizabeth said, while other thoughts suddenly occurred to her. She looked ill and had a bad temper.She couldn't have been better for him.She was perfectly fitting for his wife. Both Mr. Collins and Charlotte stood at the door talking to the lady visitor.What Elizabeth thought was the funniest thing was that Sir William was standing at the door respectfully, reverently admiring the grand sight in front of him, whenever De.He always bowed when Miss Power looked in his direction. When they had finished speaking, the two ladies drove away, and the others returned to the house.Collins, as soon as he saw the two ladies, congratulated them on their good fortune; and Charlotte explained to them that Rosings was to invite them all to dine again on the morrow.
