Maria, who was busy in the dark, now regretted it immensely, and was so excited that she told Mr. Ferguson of her intentions. Now, when she saw Mr. Ferguson's letter, she wanted to cover her eyes.

Fortunately, Maria is doing well at Toris College and has made new friends. Maria originally thought that she might not be able to make friends, after all, she had a somewhat strong personality, which was very inconsistent with the current standards of ladies.

Surprisingly, she is obviously more like a fish in water than Charlotte, and after thinking about it carefully, she understands that although she is a little introverted, she is funny and sincere, and her temperament is different from other ladies, which also makes her very popular, not to mention that the educational purpose of Toris College is to develop the brains of ladies.

Ever since Maria entered Toris College, Sir William had often looked to the door.

Finally, the day made him wait for Maria's letter. As Mrs. Lucas and others were also very concerned about Maria's life, Sir William gave the letter to Charlotte, who read it.

"Charlotte, hurry up and read it, I'm really worried that Maria won't get used to life at the Academy." Mrs. Lucas urged her eldest daughter unsteadily.

"Mom, I'm worried, I think Maria will be at home at the academy." Charlotte always felt that Maria had similar qualities to the aristocratic ladies, which would make her very popular, and read the letter:

Dear Charlotte,

I'm doing a great job at Toris College now, and now I have two new friends and we have a good conversation. Let me introduce you to two lovely young ladies: Georgiana D'Arcy and Terena Adair.

You would never have imagined that it was a very coincidental thing that Georgiana turned out to be Mr. Darcy's sister. Georgiana and your sister have a similar personality, the same introvert, love to write, with her own encouragement, Georgiana has already begun to submit to the publishing house, I believe that in the near future England will have a great female poet.

In addition, Trena Adair's family was engaged in ocean-going commerce, such as porcelain, tea, and silk in the Qing Dynasty...... We can all see her from her. I think my dear dad will be interested, and next time I go home, I will bring back some porcelain and silk, I hope you will enjoy it......

Your dear sister

Maria Lucas

Sir William had full confidence in Maria, and he felt that she would be able to integrate into the College life quickly, and graduate from Toris College. He was still very interested in the tea from the Orient mentioned by Maria, but: "It seems that this reply must give Maria some pounds." ”

Mrs. Lucas and Charlotte were not interested in tea, but they were very interested in the legendary silk from the East. Now that the silk has not yet arrived, they have already begun to figure out what kind of clothes to make, especially Charlotte, who is about to enter the social circle, and a dress made of silk will add a lot of color to her.

Worried that Maria would not have enough pounds in her hand, Mrs. Lucas specially reminded Sir William to put more pounds.

In fact, Maria had other thoughts in mind, and her brother said that he would go on a study tour after graduating from college. In this era, it is very difficult for a woman to go far away, and if she can hitchhike with her brother, she must be allowed to do so, provided that she can successfully graduate from Toris Academy before this. Now my brother has just entered Oxford University, and as for the study tour, it will be at least two years later.

The biography of "Genghis Khan" was finally completed by Maria before Mr. Ferguson went completely mad. Maria handed the manuscript to Mr. Ferguson, and collapsed on the couch as if she had lost her energy.

Mr. Darcy, who has always paid attention to etiquette, rarely did not find fault with the etiquette of the other party, and he expressed deep sympathy for Maria's experience in the past year. He and Antonio bonded over a novel, and Mr. Darcy, who was young and fashionable at the time, was amazed by each other's unusual views, and the two became friendly. It was Antonio's pursuit of literature that prompted him to make up his mind to hire him as the manager of the Medusa publishing house.

When Mr. Ferguson got the manuscript, he ignored Maria, sat down on the couch, and began to read by himself. During this period, Dylan asked many times in etiquette if he needed something, but the other party ruthlessly ignored him.

Writing can be really addictive, and Maria, who had just finished a book, was lying on the couch and thinking about her next book, a self-injurious act that left Maria with a deep sense of powerlessness, and she felt that she might really have masochistic tendencies.

Maria forced herself to sober up from the idea of the next novel, and casually picked up the manuscript that Mr. Ferguson had brought with her, supposedly by a female author, and brought it to Charlotte. At first, Maria didn't pay attention to the manuscript, but began to read it with a casual mind.

"The most is the gentleness of the bowed head,

Like a water lotus flower, it is too shy to cool the breeze,

A word of cherishment, a word of cherishment,

There was sweet sorrow in that cry of preciousness—

Shayanara! ”

"Smack" Maria slammed the manuscript onto the table, and now she was completely sure that the contributor was Georgiana D'Arcy. (Since the author can't write poems, the poems here are searched from the Internet)

In addition to Mr. Ferguson, who is still immersed in "The Biography of Genghis Khan", Darcy and Dylan are both alarmed by Maria's movements and look at her in surprise.

Maria smiled sheepishly, she was just a little excited. Perhaps, as Charlotte said, she played a good lead, and Georgiana D'Arcy's "Shayanara" was actually submitted to Medusa Press!

That's really ...... Let her say anything, does Mr. Fitzwilliam D'Arcy know about his sister's submission to his publishing house? If Mr. Darcy had known that she had instigated all this, would she have been killed by Mr. Darcy's cold eyes?

Apologizing to the two startled gentlemen, Maria picked up the manuscript again and began to read, this time not putting it down until she had finished reading the full text. Maria felt that the revised "Shayanara" was better than the original, and it can be seen that Georgiana had made the revisions with good intentions, although it could not be compared with those famous poems that have been passed down for centuries, but in terms of the quality of this poetry collection, it is still very valuable for publication.

Ignoring the two guests in the drawing-room, Maria went straight to the study and began to reply to Georgiana, and she also told Charlotte about it.
