Mrs bennet was hunted my her thoughts , thinking how much she admired this town , she missed her bright memories with her neighbors and there children running while holding up there chuckles full of joy

And hopefully , she remembered a few of there neighbors . One of the families called the Barriers , they used to invite the whole town to a fine picnic on every Saturday . They were a very humble and affable family and didn't mind sharing all there lifehood with the whole town .
Mrs barrie also used to invite every mother for a tea every Tuesday evening . Mrs Bennet enjoy filling and sharing her thoughts with these lovely ladies

But there was this mysterious women that lived near Mrs Bennett's house and obviously she seemed a very private and with an anxious features , and unfortunately not everyone on this town respected her . She never attended any of the village's meetings and she also seemed alone with no man , her cottage was super afforble and small which was clear that she suffered from money problems . Of course it was difficult for a women to live alone because no jobs are available for women in her age , specially in this town

In Mrs Bennett's opinion : the women was judged cruelly and misunderstood , she also believed that this mysterious women has a story to tell but maybe she is insecure about opening herself to people like this . She didn't chose to be alone and only God knows how that women is suffering and may her heart ache must be frightening and stressful

And with this Mrs bennet decided to visit this poor lady and have a private chat with her . Mrs bennet couldn't deny she was a bet nervous meeting someone unsocialy stable , it's obvious that it can be extremely embarrassing and boring but the whole village agreed that Mrs bennet was finest and well mannered from all of them , she always had her own way of understanding people , she was someone to relate and count on

Mrs bennet visited her afternoon . Mrs bennet kept her smile still as she opened the door and beyond what Mrs bennet expected, the lady welcomed her liberally and with a fine grin that toasted her eyes into a thin line

" Good afternoon "
The women said then she continued

" I suggest you to come in "
Her voice was intermittently soft

" oh that's a kind of you dear" Mrs bennet said as she walked in

" I'm Mrs bennet by the way , Cordelia bennet "

" yes I do recognise you very well , I'm Elizabeth shelly "
Elizabeth pointed her hand to the sofa

They both walked to the sofa and sat down as Elizabeth poured some tea to her first guest

Elizabeth seamed five times younger than her , maybe on her thirties , her eyes where glowing ... dark cosmic green ...her skin was golden ...obviously she spends time facing the sun , her hair... braided and hazel ...a shade Mrs bennet never saw . Her clothes ..cheap but extremely neat as her furniture .
Mrs bennet kept thinking how come such a beautiful lady like her can be ignored by men , she was confused thinking how can she live alone without friends or a husband

Elizabeth broke the silence between them

" I never regretted choosing this village , I like the climate ...the people "

Elizabeth said as she handing the tea cup for Mrs bennet

" the people ? , you rarely speak a word with anyone is this town "

" yes I agree, but I can't deny they are a decent lovely people "

Elizabeth said but with a mysterious tone that Mrs bennet couldn't get it

" You seem like a private person I see , and I absolutely respect that, but there must be a reason of your isolation "

Said Mrs bennet
