文字記錄
Back at the Bennet home that evening, Lizzie sits on the worn family-room couch and reads a message on her glowing phone. The text: 'Jane's feverish. Stuck here.' Her usual amused-skeptic look hardens into real concern, then, in a tight close-up of her eyes and set jaw, into resolve as she rises.
圖片說明
Lizzie, on the couch at home in lamplight, reads a worrying text and her expression turns to concern; a close-up shows her determined eyes.
關於本章
Caroline Bingley invites Jane to Netherfield, and Mrs. Bennet — smelling opportunity — packs her off on a bike with no ride home just as the sky turns, betting a downpour will force Jane to stay the night. The plan works too well: Jane arrives soaked, spikes a fever, and is stuck under Bingley's roof, sick. When the news reaches home, Lizzie doesn't hesitate — she walks three miles of muddy road to reach her sister, arriving flushed, windblown, and unbothered by the mud on her jeans. Caroline is appalled; Bingley is charmed; and Darcy, who came to Netherfield certain Lizzie's laughter meant nothing to him, cannot stop looking at her. Cornered into the same house for one long evening, Lizzie and Darcy trade barbs across the dinner table — and by the time the rain is still tapping the guest-room window, Lizzie catches herself not entirely hating that she's stuck here.
