Downton Abbey for your happiness

Chapter 6 Mr. Pamuk's fiasco

Looking at the energetic pair of knights on horseback in the distance, who were also handsome and unrestrained, Edith turned her eyes back and asked Mary next to her with a slightly sour look: "Which one of them do you think will win?" The gentlemen are jealous because of Mary's rivalry, not only her, but almost everyone thinks so, except that Mr. Spencer belongs to the reserved and passive kind.

Mr. Nabil also said to Matthew with great taste: "I should have known that I should not have brought Kemal here, and now we are both just a show."

But Matthew said, "No, John isn't that kind of guy. It's Mr. Pamuk who started it."

Mary turned her head and stared at Matthew and said, "I don't think a sea monster would understand a hero's thoughts." Under the stare of death, Matthew could only shrug his shoulders helplessly.

With a "bang" gunshot, Mr. Pamke took the lead in shooting, and Mary quickly picked up the small binoculars, and saw that the other party rode the horse and fired 4 more shots, and the gun hit the red heart area of ​​the target. It seemed that he really had Proud capital, everyone began to worry about Mr. Spencer.Because it was too far away, and Thomas didn't have a telescope, he could only hear 5 gunshots, but he didn't know the result.

"All 5 shots!" the target inspector finally shouted, waving the flag, which also meant that Mr. Spencer was about to enter the field.The people below were talking a lot, and Thomas couldn't help but walk to the side of the watching line. At this time, everyone's attention was on the field, but no one noticed that he was overstepping the rules.

Mr. Spencer didn't seem to be in a hurry, and he didn't shoot a single shot the first time he rode.Anxious Matthew said: "My God, what does he want to do? It's a waste of time."

But this is not the most surprising thing. If Matthew was anxious because he didn't fire a shot in the first lap, then Mr. Spencer ran three more laps and still didn't fire a shot, which surprised everyone. Matthew couldn't wait. Rushed in and grabbed John by the collar and asked him what he was thinking!Mr. Ambassador smiled proudly and said, "Maybe Mr. Spencer can't bear to make a move."

But as soon as he finished speaking, there were five gunshots of "bang, bang, bang, bang, bang" in succession on the field. Mr. Spencer actually let his horse run on the last lap, and he picked up the gun without hesitation. He fired five shots in a row without a single pause in between, shooting at the gun target from different angles, so that the ladies and gentlemen holding the binoculars didn't have time to see clearly.On the contrary, the target inspector in the distance ran across the lawn panting and carrying the target. The earl asked strangely, "Mr. Jill, what's the matter?"

"My lord... Ladies and gentlemen... This, this, I really can't test the target." After speaking, Mr. Jill put the target upright and put it on the ground, took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and stammered. .

There is no problem with the target, but the red heart part in the middle has become an irregular hollow, and there are traces of gunpowder burning around it. At this time, anyone who is not an idiot will know that it is the result of being hit repeatedly at the same place. How accurate is this? marksmanship!In an instant, the earl took the lead, and everyone applauded for Mr. Spencer.

Mary turned to the ambassador and said, "Maybe Mr. Spencer really can't bear to make a move." At the same time, she also emphasized the word can't bear.

Unexpectedly, he wanted to overwhelm the opponent with his best shot, but instead let the opponent show off. The ambassador turned red with anger, but no matter how angry he was, he could only hold it back. After all, it would be more demeanor to throw the gun away now.

So, everyone was immersed in the game in the afternoon throughout the night. When John came to the kitchen to fetch the rabbit fur, everyone not only stood up to welcome him, but also applauded him. He was shocked again.

"Mr. Spencer, you are really amazing, we all hope you can win!" Daisy said shyly but enthusiastically.

"Thank you, Daisy." John lifted the brim of his hat and thanked politely.

"Mr. Spencer, how did you shoot so accurately?" Daisy didn't pay attention to the other party's intention, and kept asking, but Hughes gave her a glare before obediently retracting her neck.

"It doesn't matter. It's probably because of my father, General Spencer. He was a sharpshooter who followed President Lincoln in the Civil War, so I had to practice marksmanship since I was a child."

"My God..." Daisy was shocked by Mr. Spencer's family background, but she was interrupted by Mrs. Lance: "Seriously, Mr. Spencer, you really should hire some servants, this kind of thing Why do you come and get it yourself?"

"I'll think about it, thank you for your suggestion, Mrs. Lance, but I don't think I'm that fragile yet." John took the pocket handed over by the other party, opened it, and looked at it. The quantity was good enough to make a coat with a fur collar up.

After the people left, Gwen teased Daisy who was still stretching her neck and said, "If Anna was here, guess what she would say?"

"what?"

"She would say it was an unattainable dream."

Thomas walked out silently and leaned against the corridor to smoke a cigarette, but the depression in his heart did not dissipate with the smoke.

O'Brien walked up to him and said, "Thomas, I hope you straighten yourself up quickly! Otherwise, you will not only put yourself in the abyss, but also put Downton on top of the Heat!"

"I know, but... I just can't help it."

"Of course, he is such an excellent gentleman, as perfect as a Greek sculpture." O'Brien said with a sigh, "but the hero must be with the lady after all."

Thomas stopped talking, stomped out his cigarette, and went back to the house dully.

Ambassador Pamuk bid farewell very hastily, as if the decision was made overnight, and he glared at John before leaving.So he received a concern in the evening. When Thomas delivered the wine, he said worriedly: "Mr. Spencer, Mr. Pamke didn't seem very happy when he left today. You humiliated the Turkish ambassador. If he arrives How can I trouble you?"

But the other party didn't care at all, instead poured a glass of wine and handed it to him: "Have a drink before going to bed?"

"Thank you, Mr. Spencer, but we..." Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted. The other party took his hand, forced him a glass, and said, "Drink as much as you want, why are you so wordy?" .”

That moment was very short, he felt nothing but the warmth of Mr. Spencer's hand, and Thomas felt that his heart was out of control. The voice was heard by the person opposite.Just like that, the original worries were also thrown out of his mind, and after finishing the drink, he left the room in a daze.

And what about John?He didn't pay attention to that ambassador at all. He held Turkey's tens of millions of arms bills in his hands, and he didn't believe that those leaders would trouble him.
