After Mrs. Bennet knew that Mr. Collins had married Mrs. Lucas, she was too sock to accept the truth. First she thought he was tricked; secondly, she was sure the couple would never be happy together; thirdly, the engagement would be broke off. It took her a really long time to believe the story and the crucial truth that the house would belong to the Collins some time in the future. The letter written by Mr. Bingley made her even more upset. It said that they were all settled in London for the winter. Jane, who was always calm, couldn't hide her anxiety anymore but still very kind to every thing.
In this period I found an interesting way to use in sentence. I found these sentences:" A week passed before she could see Elizabeth without scolding her; a month passed before she could talk to Sir William and Lady Lucas politely and many months were gone before she could at all forgive their daughter." The author put the times at the beginning of the sentences to emphasize them. So it became a sentence as " A time before sb could do something." I would try to use this new sentence pattern in my article more one I have chance.
