Meet the Darcys
Another shiny day. It felt like the sun knew exactly my state of mind. But on the other side, the change in Mr Darcy's character was nothing but strange. The truth is that I spent the previous night facing to the unspoken questions of my aunt and uncle. I could not answer them, because I barely knew the answers. But I had the suspicion that I was mistaken in Mr Darcy and forgot to think about him as about human being.
Honestly, I looked forward to meet Miss Darcy. I thought that she is nice and gentle young lady and not that person as she was described by Wickham. I think she meant so much to her brother; maybe she was something like the light of his life. I felt my heart loudly beat while we were going through the stairs to the summer salon. But the sound of that up-beat and girlish melody made me feel better.
When the door opened, she stood up from her forte piano and ran to welcome us. She was the completely opposite to my youngest sisters. She was all politeness and cordiality when she talked to me. Not a hint of selfishness or conceit. She was truly the light of brother's world.
Ah, her brother. He was not that silent, proud man, who I had met in Meryton. Surprisingly, he was smiling and laughing with us. I smiled on his brotherly love for younger sister. I could not be ignorant of the brightness in his blue eyes when he looked from one to another from us. Honestly, I felt negligence coming from his side – he was ultimately another human being to the previous times.
But his sister noticed something else. She definitely knew, what was going on between me and him. How it is possible that sisters always know about the hidden feelings of their mostly oldest brothers? But maybe only the blind man could not notice it.
But I felt coming something else – was it hint of flirt from his side? Or I completely misunderstood his stare upon me? I have no idea, who from us all was most satisfied. Was it Miss Georgiana or me? Or Mr Darcy watching us talk? Or my uncle who was delighted by fishing? Or my aunt who was satisfied with all what she witnessed?
The afternoon was full of playing duets (guess whose skills were better), laughter and happy mood. But it could not be ended so soon, because the gentlemen wanted to hear us both after fishing. But I felt that this wish was more Mr Darcy's than my uncle's. I tried my best not to disappoint his taste in music, but there was one important thing: his blue – eyed gaze was constantly stuck upon me. That was strange in consideration with the previous events which had brought us together.
Now I was there along with his sister and my aunt and uncle laughing all evening. I could not remember when exactly I felt like that. I suppose that saying good – bye was hard for everyone from us. It is always hard to go away from somewhere you feel welcomed. Miss Georgiana was upset waving good – bye to her new friend, I felt sorry to say good – bye to both of the Darcys – truth to be told, I felt happy with them. I just felt that young Miss Darcy is as angel – like my beloved sister Jane.
