Chapter 38 Chapter Thirty-Seven

The two gentlemen left Rosings next morning; Xin Si is full of sadness, but he is healthy and full of energy.Then he hurried to Rosings to comfort Lady Catelyn and her daughter; and when he returned home, he brought back a message from Lady Catelyn, saying that she was very dull, and wished very much that the whole family would dine with him. . When Elizabeth saw Lady Catelyn, she could not help thinking that if she would be on Darcy's terms, she would now be his lady's unmarried niece; and she could not help laughing at how angry her ladyship would be then.She kept thinking of words like this to tease herself: what would she say?What will she do?

They began by talking about the separation of the Rosings guests.Lady Caitlin said: I tell you, I'm very sorry.I believe that no one will be as sad as I am for the parting of relatives and friends.I especially like these two young people, and I know they like me very much too.When they came, I was really reluctant to leave.They've always been that way.The dear Colonel did not cheer up till the end; Darcy looked the most distressed, and I saw him more so than last year, and his feeling for Rosings was growing stronger every year. At this point, Mr. Collins inserted a compliment and gave another example. The mother and daughter both smiled brightly when they heard this.

After lunch, Mrs. Catelyn saw that Miss Bennet did not seem very happy; she thought that Miss Bennet would not wish to go home at once, and said: If you don't want to go back, you have to write to your mother and ask her to let you stay here longer.I am sure Mrs. Collins would be very happy to be with you. Elizabeth replied: Thank you for your kindness, but unfortunately I cannot accept the kindness.I must go into town next Saturday. Why, so you're only here for six weeks.I was counting on you to stay for two months.I told Mrs. Collins so before you came.You needn't be in such a hurry to go.Mrs. Bennet will certainly keep you for another fortnight.

But my dad won't let me.He wrote last week to urge me to go back. Oh, as long as your mother lets you, dad will let you.A father will never treat his daughter like a baby like a mother.I am going to London for a week at the beginning of June; if you can stay for another month, I can take one of the two of you with you. One of you; if it's cooler, of course I might as well take both of you, as you're not very big. It's very kind of you, madam; it's a pity we're going according to our original plan. Mrs. Caitlin could not force her to stay, so she said: "Mrs. Collins, you must send a servant to see them off."I have always been blunt in my speech, and I was worried about letting the two young ladies go too far.This is outrageous, what I don't like the most is this kind of thing, you must send someone to see them off.For the young ladies, we have to take good care of them and serve them according to their identities.When my niece and niece Georgiana went to Ramsgate last summer, I was obliged to have her accompanied by two servants.You know, as the daughter of Mr. Darcy of Pemberley and Lady Anne, it would have been unbecoming of her to do otherwise.I pay special attention to such things.You must send John to see these two ladies off, Mrs. Collins.Fortunately, I found out about this and pointed it out in time, otherwise let them go alone and lose your face.

My uncle will send someone to fetch us. Oh, your uncle!Does he really have a servant?I'm glad to hear that someone finally thought of these things for you.Where are you going to change horses?Of course it's at Brownley.You only need to mention my name at the station, and someone will come to entertain you. Lady Catelyn had a lot to ask when it came to their journey, and she didn't quite ask and answer on her own, so you had to listen carefully, Elizabeth thought it was her luck, otherwise, she was so preoccupied, she would have Forget about being a guest.If you have something on your mind, you should wait until you are alone.Whenever she was alone, she tossed her thoughts over and over again; and there was not a day when she did not walk alone, with unpleasant thoughts in her mind.

She was on the verge of learning Darcy's letter by heart.She studied every sentence over and over again, and her feelings for the writer of the letter warmed up and cooled down again.Remembering his tone of voice, she still couldn't express her anger; but as soon as she thought about how she wrongly blamed him and scolded him before, her anger turned to herself.His depressed mood aroused her sympathy.His affection aroused her gratitude, his character her respect; but she could not love him, she never regretted for a moment her refusal, she never wanted to see him again.She often feels distressed and remorseful for her past behavior, and all the unfortunate defects in the family make her extremely depressed.These defects are irreparable.Her father laughed off these defects, and did not bother to restrain the insolence and indiscretion of his younger daughters; as for her mother, being herself a disorder, she certainly felt no danger from it.Elizabeth and Jane often worked together to restrain Catelyn and Lydia's impertinence, but with their mother so indulgent, what chance were there for them to improve?Catelyn was weak-willed and easily irritated, and she was entirely at the mercy of Lydia, and would be offended at the advice of Jane and Elizabeth; but Lydia was headstrong and careless, and would not listen to them.The two sisters were ignorant, lazy, and vain, and would go out with him whenever an officer came to Meryton.Meryton was not far from Longbourne, and they went there all the time.

Her other great concern was that of Jane; and, though Mr. Darcy's explanation restored her old goodwill to Mr. Bingley, she felt more and more that Jane had suffered too much.Bingley was so devoted to Jane that he deserved no reproach for his conduct, but if any, it could at best be blamed on him for trusting his friend too much.Ji Ying has such an ideal opportunity, which can not only obtain various benefits, but also hope to obtain lifelong happiness, but it is a pity that the family's stupid and indisciplined ruined this opportunity. It makes people feel sad to think about it! Whenever I think about these things, I cannot help but think of Wickham's deterioration of character. Therefore, for a person like her who is always in a happy mood and rarely depressed, she is greatly stimulated in her heart, and it is almost impossible to force a smile. It is conceivable.

During the week before her departure Rosings' parties were as frequent as they had been when they first arrived.The last night was also spent there, and the old lady asked them carefully about the details of their journey, instructed them how to pack their luggage, and talked repeatedly about how to pack their long clothes.After Maria heard these words, she turned over the boxes she had packed in the morning and packed them again as soon as she went back. As they parted, Lady Catelyn condescended to wish them a safe journey, and invited them to come to Hansford again next year.De.Miss Power even curtseyed to them both, and held out her hand to say good-bye to both of them.
