Downton Abbey for your happiness
Chapter 39 Godmother
The wedding was held smoothly and grandly, the guests and hosts had a great time, and old acquaintances and new friends quickly established close relationships.The old lady was very happy to see the Duke of Wilson. She and the old Mrs. Wilson used to be good friends. They haven't seen each other for many years since the other party passed away. I didn't expect them to have such a relationship with the Spencer family.Edith's grandmother, Mrs. Martha, was very happy to meet Mr. Lister Spencer, who was also an American businessman. She knew very well the strength and wealth of the Spencer family, and it was always right to have a good relationship.
After the wedding, Edith and Joyce went to Italy for their honeymoon. Only then did John have a real feeling--Edith really married his second cousin, and he was relieved. Because the second lady's love life was not ordinary, John was afraid that there would be some accidents in the wedding.
The people who attended the wedding also left one after another, only John's cousin Peggy Spencer stayed.The 16-year-old girl has never left the United States. When she came to the UK for the first time, she was very new to the surrounding things, so she begged her father, Mr. Maxwell, to return to the United States after the summer vacation. It was always difficult for the father to refuse the little daughter’s request, so I agreed.John had no choice but to take Peggy in. Why do both of them like to live with him?
That day, John was dealing with official business, and Charlotte rushed in, her face flushed red with uncontrollable excitement, she clasped her hands and said loudly, "Cousin, I got great news!"
Seeing what John should do, Charlotte shook John's arm and said reluctantly, "Cousin, please ask me what good news I got!"
John quickly pulled out his arm and asked perfunctorily, "What good news?"
"Siebel said she and Tom had made a deal to let little Bonnie be baptized in the Catholic Church and let me be her godmother! I'm going to have a goddaughter, cousin!"
"Okay... I know you're going to be a godmother." John continued to read the document without looking up.
"Cousin, aren't you excited at all? She may become your goddaughter in the future!"
John put his hand on Charlotte's forehead and said, "How can you start talking nonsense without a fever? A soon-to-be godmother doesn't shake my arm and yell in my ear."
Charlotte pursed her mouth and stopped talking. Sitting next to John and watching him quietly deal with official business for a long time, she might feel that she couldn't bear the feeling of having something happy in her heart that she couldn't share. It was like putting her on the fire, so Xia Lott ran out excitedly, not knowing who he was hurting.
After Charlotte ran out, John put down the documents in his hand, and remembered that he asked Hackson to help find orphans for adoption. He sighed. Although there were many orphans after the war, it was impossible for him to adopt one casually. There was never a suitable opportunity.
Thinking about the child, John was in no mood to look at the documents anymore. Thomas went to receive the red wine he had ordered before, and no one talked to him.John called Fellows to get the car out, and he wanted to go for a drive.Originally, Fellowes was going to get into the driver's seat, but John was one step ahead.Fellows said in embarrassment: "Mr. Spencer, Mr. Barrow told you not to drive alone..."
"It's okay, I'll just go out for a walk and make sure to drive slowly, and my skills are much better now. If Thomas comes back, you can say that I drove out secretly, and he won't make things difficult for you." John's heart warmed up a lot, Compared with just now, the gloomy mood was wiped out, and only then did the meaning of the ride really change.
After wandering aimlessly for a while, John remembered that there was a big market in Skork on Friday, so he might as well go shopping and buy something for Thomas.The market is very lively. Some people from the village put their stalls on the side of the road. In addition, there are various shops on both sides of the road, which attracts many people to buy. As soon as they enter the market, they feel the buzz of people.The road is wide, and John doesn’t feel stuck in the car at all. Thankfully, cars are a rarity in this era. He drives a car in the market, just like an actor stripped naked on stage, attracting the attention of the crowd.
After walking forward for a while, there were fewer stalls, and there were mainly shops on the street. At this moment, John suddenly caught a glimpse of a shop window out of the corner of his eye, and he seemed to see Mrs. Patmore.He stopped the car in front of the store, and he walked in to see that Mrs. Patmore, Alfred and James were talking to the boss.
"Hi, Mrs. Patmore! What a coincidence, why are you here?"
The three of them turned their heads and saw that John was also very surprised. After greeting each other, Mrs. Patmore said, "It's Mr. Cox. He has some new sauces that taste good. I'm ordering from him."
"I trust your taste, order some for me."
Mrs. Patmore readily agreed, and when the four of them were about to leave the store, a little boy politely opened the door for John and said crisply, "Go slowly, sir."
At a very young age, he had to learn to observe his words and moods before working. John felt a little uncomfortable. He took out 5 shillings from his coat pocket as a tip and gave it to the other party. A look of joy immediately appeared on the little boy's face, but he restrained himself. Despite the urge to jump up, he still respectfully saluted John to express his thanks.
James looked at John in surprise, and finally saw John's generosity with his own eyes.Mrs. Patmore said with a smile: "Little Alfred is happy now, Mr. Spencer, you almost gave him half a month's salary."
John also smiled and didn't answer, but asked a question instead: "Is his name Alfred too?"
"Yeah, poor little guy, alone with a two-year-old sister, I can't imagine if Mr Cox hadn't taken him in and given him a job."
"Mrs. Patmore, do you know him? Where are his parents?" John couldn't help asking, his heart moved.
"I often come here to buy things, so I know him well. His parents died in the terrible plague two years ago. There are no other relatives to take them in, who knows."
"That's it..." John is very satisfied with the answer, but he still has to ask Hackson to check it out. He still likes this sensible little boy, and he will bring Thomas to have a look next time.
Because of little Alfred, John was in a much better mood, and even looked pleasing to the eyes of anyone, so he said to the three: "Mrs. Patmore, are you going back to Downton? I happened to be driving to see you off Let's go."
"No need...it's too troublesome." Patmore was a little hesitant, and the two young men beside her looked at John's car expectantly.
"No trouble, anyway, I have nothing to do, and I happened to go to see Matthew, I haven't seen him for a long time."
