Why, then, did Mr. Darcy come out with an umbrella? It goes back two quarters of an hour.

Emma has been secretly following Miss Emily. Even though George has been trying to get his sister's attention, Mr. Darcy silently brushes his presence, and George Anna and Elizabeth sit on the side, Emma's attention still involuntarily slips to Miss Emily. After Emma and Mr. Darcy danced the second dance, they habitually searched for Miss Emily with their spare eyes, only to find that Miss Emily was missing.

Miss Emily wasn't very comfortable at the ball, and Emma knew that. For most people, it's a fun, friendship, love ball, for Miss Emily, it's a boring, forced ball. According to Emma's observations, Miss Emily's parents had traveled thousands of miles to make it not utilitarian. They had probably been troubled by Miss Emily's marriage for a long time, and it was not difficult to see from Miss Emily's usual attitude that she had no interest in marrying. Miss Emily has a slightly different attitude towards George, and is later rescued by George, which gives them a glimmer of hope. But that hope was quickly dashed. George asked Georgiana to be his dance partner, but Miss Emily remained the same, she didn't want to be George's dance partner, and she didn't want to dance with other gentlemen, so she turned down several gentlemen who came to her invitation. Miss Emily's parents' smiles grew grudging as time went on, and at last, her mother granted a gentleman's invitation on her behalf. Miss Emily reluctantly danced with him. After not knowing what happened, Miss Emily disappeared from the hall.

As she walked back, Emma always felt uneasy. When she is upset, she doesn't show anything unusual in her facial expressions, but she will subconsciously guide the other person to talk more, so as to take time to think about the problems she is struggling with. Mr. Darcy noticed Emma's abnormality and stopped talking. He knows Emma has some little secrets, and he looks forward to the day when Emma will tell him, but if Emma refuses to tell her, he respects her decision. Because he knew that Emma was thoughtful, and if he refused to speak, he must have weighed it and had a reason not to speak.

Reason tells Emma that she shouldn't have looked into it. Emma investigates Miss Emily in detail. This young lady is a maverick, which Emma can accept. The reason for her decision not to recognize Miss Emily was that Miss Emily had no vigilance to hide her identity as a traverser. If it is taken advantage of by someone with a heart, the consequences are unimaginable. At this time, the church no longer had the right to execute witches, but the influence of religion was still rooted in the whole society, and if the church was judged to be heretical, it would be difficult for any class of British society to gain a foothold. Emma's image not only affects herself, but also George, Mr. Darcy, Georgiana and others, so Emma has decided not to recognize this fellow. Since they don't recognize each other, the best option at this point is to ignore Miss Emily's disappearance. If Miss Emily notices what she cares, she might find out who she is. But emotionally, Emma couldn't feel comfortable dancing and talking to guests in the hall. She sincerely hoped that the only companion who had traveled through the 18th century would live happily ever after.

After struggling for a long time, Emma decided to go out and have a look. She could have made up a reason to leave for the time being, but she didn't want to lie to Mr. Darcy, especially in the face of Mr. Darcy's deeply concerned eyes, and before the excuse could be made, Emma had already been tortured by her conscience. "Well, I need to get out for a while. ”

Mr. Darcy was glad that Emma was willing to be honest with him. "Secretly out?"

Emma shook her head, "No, go out openly. The ball was organised by Charlie, who, as one of the owners of the Nigerfeld Gardens, would also help to entertain the ladies when Catherine was too busy. With most people knowing her, it's unlikely that she'll want to sneak out for a while without being discovered. It's better to find a reason to leave openly for a while.

Emma was gone, and Mr. Darcy was in no mood to enjoy the ball. After sending Georgiana back upstairs, she went to the balcony alone. Soon, Mr. Darcy felt a little dampness in the wind. Worried that Emma would catch the rain, he went out with an umbrella to find her. Before he could find Emma, he accidentally met Elizabeth and Mrs. Bennet.

For safety reasons, Mr. Darcy sent the two ladies back to the hall and then changed directions to continue looking for Emma. This time he was lucky, and it didn't take long to see the person he was looking for.

Emma's steps were light and silent, and from Mr. Darcy's point of view, the hem of her long dress was mostly melted into the dark flowers, lining her already slender figure even thinner. She bowed her head slightly, her skin pale and transparent in the dim moonlight, and at first glance she looked like a ghost about to dissipate.

Before his sanity could begin to work, Mr. Darcy walked over quickly, trying to grab her hand and make sure she was okay. "Miss Kentra?"

Emma was awakened from her musings by a familiar voice, and she raised her head slightly, staring at Mr. Upper Darcy with anxious concern. Originally, Emma was just shocked and confused, but when she faced Mr. Darcy, her eyes suddenly became a little sour. Emma hadn't shed a tear in front of anyone for a long time, and she was very embarrassed by such a reaction. In order to disguise herself, Emma lowered her head, saw the umbrella that Mr. Darcy was holding in her hand, and casually found a topic: "It looks like there may be a rain soon?"

Mr. Darcy's voice was low and soft, and he replied, "Yes, there may be a rain soon." ”

"The weather in the summer is really unpredictable. ”

"Yes, change is fast. ”

Emma complained childishly, "It's annoying." ”

Without the slightest hint of nutrition, Mr. Darcy replied patiently, "Yes, it's annoying." ”

Emma paused and very politely requested, "Can you turn around first?"

Mr. Darcy did so without hesitation. After a few breaths, the arms wrapped around him.

Emma closed her eyes tightly, and the scene she had just seen came back to her mind.

Miss Emily repeated simple Chinese over and over again among the flowers. Perhaps because her daily language is English, her Chinese pronunciation is no longer standard. Sensing this, she bit her lip fiercely. Then she began to cry quietly. "I'm not Emily! Please, let me not forget. If I forget to speak, if I forget my thoughts, it's me or Emily who is alive!"

Emma's heart was shaken.

On the other side, Elizabeth and Mrs. Bennet chased in the direction Lydia had run. Lydia heard the voice behind her and ran faster. She didn't want to see anyone!, but Lydia ran halfway through and saw a figure near the pool in front of her.

Lydia didn't want to force herself to say hello to anyone. She gave full play to the imagination of a young girl, and a man who appeared in the garden, probably heard the words of the two officers just now, and this man recognized her, the heroine of the conversation, and looked at her condescendingly with contemptuous eyes, how terrible!

After waiting for a while, I didn't hear the footsteps of the man leaving. Lydia quietly brushed aside the leaves and looked out. A woman with her back to her, as if staring at the water, leaned down several times and rose again.

Lydia's imagination kicks in again. In the middle of the night, gazing at the water in an uninhabited garden, this young lady must not want to jump into the pool? She ignored the depth of the pool to drown, and forgot the purpose of trying to escape. A sense of mission to save lives took over her mind in just a few seconds. As the young lady leaned down again and held out her hand to the pool, Lydia jerked to her feet and ran over, grabbing the young lady's forearm.

The young lady did not turn around, but buried her head deeply.

Lydia was puzzled, and when she looked closely, a line of dark liquid was flowing from the young lady's chin. She subconsciously reached out and took two drops, and then found that it was blood.

With Elizabeth's speed, she should have caught up with Lydia long ago, but she brought a seriously delayed teammate - Mrs. Bennet. Compared to the slender Elizabeth, the round Mrs. Bennet belongs to the "weight-bearing" run. Soon, Lydia's back disappeared from the sight of the two. Elizabeth chased after a few steps, and after glancing at Mrs. Bennet, who was panting and looked like she was going to collapse in the next second, she stopped helplessly. "We can't find Lydia like this. She was determined to escape, probably for the first time in her life. ”

"That, that," said Mrs. Bennet, who gasped for a moment, before she could utter a complete sentence. "What then?"

Elizabeth waited for Mrs. Bennet to come up with a good idea, but she waited for a long time for a question. She sighed deeply. "The worst-case scenario is that Lydia is lectured by Mr. Darcy. Maybe they won't meet each other at all. ”

Both hesitated. If you look for Lydia, the chance of finding it is relatively small, and if you don't look for it, you can't rest assured. Just then, Lydia's screams were heard in the distance.

Miss Emily thinks it's been a downright bad day. was forced to marry by his parents, and he came out to vent his emotions, and accidentally bit the corner of his mouth, and the blood flowed like a river. I found a sink to clean, and I just washed it, and suddenly someone interrupted her, and the person started screaming for some reason, which shook her eardrums. "Are you okay?"

When Elizabeth and Mrs. Bennet arrived, Lydia had stopped screaming for the first time because of her lack of lung capacity, and after the blank period of her brain had passed, she prayed earnestly in her heart for the first time that if the Lord Almighty could help her survive from the witch-like creature in front of her, she would change her ways.

Miss Emily watched the whole process with caring eyes. She knew that she had blood on her chin and that she didn't have a good image, so she kept her head down. The young lady in front of her was suddenly startled, and it was understandable, but she hadn't noticed anything wrong for so long, first immersed in her own world and kept screaming and ignoring her greetings, and then began to mumble to herself, I'm afraid that her IQ is not fully developed.

Lydia felt that her prayers were really heard by the Lord because her sister and mother appeared to her like angels from heaven. Elizabeth's image in Lydia's mind has never been so tall. "Mother, second sister!" Mrs. Bennet took her beloved baby in her arms.

Lydia's IQ is not online, Elizabeth's IQ is still there. As soon as Miss Emily said that she had accidentally bitten her lip, she guessed the cause and effect. Elizabeth apologized here, and Mrs. Bennet appeased there. It's not all bad. Lydia really felt like she was going to die just now, and the original big problem didn't seem so terrible now. Miss Emily was in a bad mood, but was amused by Lydia's stupidity.

After the oolong, the four of them returned to the hall together.

After this fright, she originally thought that the big problem was not so terrible, but when she reached the hall, Lydia still felt a little embarrassed. Elizabeth glanced at her and silently took her hand. 166 Reading Network
