Chapter 10
It would not be easy, indeed, to catch their expression, but their colour and shape, and the eye-lashes, so remarkably fine, might be copied. ––Jane Austen
抓住出它们的神采确实很难,不过那眼睛的颜色,形状和她的睫毛,都如此美丽,也许能被描绘出来。
––简·奥斯汀

Outline:
Jane well guarded from cold, so she attended into drawing-room with Elizabeth.

昨天阿毛白天出去玩了,然后晚上回学校,居然停电了,那时候不知道是生气多一点还是好笑多一点。
停电了不能写,就只能今天连写两章啦,不过这样写到最后就是60啦,之前还一直觉得61看起来不舒服。
第十章,第十一章,伊丽莎白和达西互动超多。恩,达西先生夸了伊丽莎白眼睛好看了,也开始发现自己对伊丽莎白关注太多啦,小高潮就要来了哟~
希望能一直坚持到chapter 61,加油!❤
