Downton Abbey for your happiness

The invitation was sent by the Countess of Grantham. It was a large party, and the Duke of Nemours was also invited.In fact, John still wants to see little Alfred with Thomas. He hasn't seen each other for more than half a year since his head was cut open, Charlotte was in a car accident, and he went to France. He said he would go and see His younger sister, Little Lena, did not make the trip in the end.But John couldn't think of a reason not to go. The Duke always thought that he hadn't gotten out of Charlotte's affairs, and advised him to learn to enjoy life, even if Charlotte was willing to participate in this kind of lively party.

"Mr. Spencer and the Duke of Nemours are here." Carson opened the door for them while calling the roll.When he came to the living room, John realized that there were quite a lot of people, bustling together, Tom and Siebel were talking to an old woman, Mary and Matthew were surrounded by a man with curly black hair, almost Everyone was very happy to see the arrival of John and the Duke. John first greeted the Earl and his wife, and then went to chat with Tom about the reform of the manor.At this moment, he noticed a graceful blond figure in front of the fireplace talking eloquently and laughing openly, and he roughly guessed who it was, the rebellious girl Rose.

"That's Rose, my cousin."

"Don't laugh like that, Siebel, I'm not Lolicon, I don't have any idea about her, I just think she looks a bit like Charlotte."

"Oh, of course...sorry..."

"It's nothing, I was thinking too much." John smiled, "Look at me, I really don't know which pot to open and which pot to carry."

"Want to see Bonnie?" Tom suggested. He is now more and more like a piece of polished jade, more rounded, not as sharp as before. It is impossible to say which is better, but John prefers the current Tom .

And at this time downstairs——

After placing John's luggage, Thomas routinely went to the kitchen to find a cup of coffee. Compared with other people's personal servants who were always on call and busy, he was not at all worried that John would call for someone.But when he was leisurely, a thick woman came down. She looked around, but she didn't seem to find anyone. At this time, she saw Thomas who had nothing to do, and ordered: "Can you tell Patmore for me?" Don't you need eggs for Miss Bonnie's afternoon tea, ma'am?"

"She's in that room, you can tell her in person within a few steps." Thomas said unwillingly.

"Oh! For God's sake, I still have two kids to take care of!" the nanny said and left without waiting for Thomas' answer.Thomas, on the other hand, ignored the woman and thought for a while.When he helped John change his clothes before dinner, he told him about it.John suddenly remembered who this nanny was. No wonder he felt so uncomfortable when he saw her in the afternoon. This person is not a good bird, let alone someone who dares to bully him now. She must let her know that some people are not easy to mess with of!

However, it is not John's style to do it himself. He turned his face and told the Duke tactfully that he always felt that the nanny was a bit awkward, and the Duke paid attention to it thoughtfully.Sure enough, within a few days, he heard the news that the nanny had left. Thomas asked him how he did it, and John said mysteriously, "Don't worry about it. Anyway, I won't let him go if I dare to treat you badly."

Nothing special happened at the party, but the Countess invited Nellie Melba to sing and allowed the servants to come and listen.It's a pity that the seats of the masters and the servants are clearly separated, even if he deliberately chose a seat close to Thomas, there is still a certain distance between them.This Nellie Melba seems to be very famous, and even the king has praised her, but John really can't appreciate this kind of spring and white snow, his mind is buzzing, and for some reason, he always feels that this scene is very familiar in his heart, as if he Something very important is forgotten.

He couldn't sit still anymore, so John took an excuse to breathe some fresh air on the porch. He also saw five other men sneaking out, and four of them went upstairs. John vaguely heard them talking about poker, It must have been playing cards.But the man who looked like a servant was the only one who walked downstairs. At first, John thought that the man was ordered by his master to prepare something, but then he saw the man walking two steps and turning his head, as if he was checking if anyone was following him.Don't do bad things and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. This made John suspicious, and he followed him unconsciously. Anyway, he was fine.He followed that person a little further away, and saw him enter the kitchen, and then a voice came from inside, which sounded a bit like Anna's voice, and John suddenly remembered what he forgot!

He rushed over quickly, and when he just reached the door, he heard a bang, and it was the man punching Anna who knocked her down to the ground.Due to the obstruction of the man, he couldn't see Anna's figure, but he thought it was just the beginning, so he finally arrived in time.John rushed over, grabbed the opponent's shoulder, turned the opponent around, and punched him in the face.The man who was about to commit violence did not expect that someone would come downstairs at this time, and he was beaten into a daze.But obviously he didn't do this kind of thing once or twice. At least his physical fitness was very good, and he reacted almost immediately, tearing together with John who wanted to grab him.

John, who couldn't control the man for a while, rushed to Anna who was sitting on the ground and shouted: "Hurry up and call someone!"

As soon as the man saw that something bad was going to happen, he struggled desperately. At this moment, there was a knife in his hand. He touched the knife and swung it at John. John had no choice but to let go of the other's hand.As soon as the two separated, the man was about to run out. John was unwilling to let the villain escape, so he chased after him and kicked him on the back, then grabbed his arm holding the knife, trying to use the most classic police arrest method Grab each other.But he underestimated the resistance ability of the cornered beast. Even when the man was grabbed by the arm, he gave John a knife. The knife was cut on his forearm. In an instant, blood gushed out, and the whole hand was covered. All were dyed red.

Bates, Carson, Mrs. Hughes, Thomas and others saw this scene when they came to the kitchen. Thomas took off his coat and pressed it to the wound on John's arm. Bates and Carson caught him for him. Mrs. Hughes found a rope and tied him up.Carson then told Mrs. Hughes to whisper Dr. Clarkson over before calling the police.

"Mr. Bates, help me find a piece of cloth. I'll tie up the top of the wound to slow down the blood flow." Thomas also wanted to push Bates away, because the other party's cold eyes made him shudder.

"Let me go find it." Anna took the words and turned around to leave. Mr. Bates' eyes became gentle when he saw Anna's figure, and saw John's injury, his eyes were full of gratitude.
