[Sense and Sensibility] Fascinated by you

Taking advantage of the intermittent showers in October, Andrew decided to hold an outing party outdoors, so he called Mr. Tony the next day. After the two discussed it, the whole manor was in operation. After a whole week of preparations, in October The second Tuesday of [-] was finally ready, even the weather was very cooperative.

The weather was fine on this day, the sky was clear, the sun was neither too dazzling to be annoying, nor the air was so cold that it was disappointing.In the past few days, the atmosphere among the people has also returned to normal, and the gentlemen and ladies are repeating the previous tortuous and implicit exchanges.

The friendship between Hathaway and Winnes has also rapidly heated up in the past few days. The two are almost inseparable together. They get up in the morning and take a walk together. After breakfast, the two may play the piano together with Olivia. Or choose a place with beautiful scenery to paint. Surprisingly, Winnes seems to have some special talents in this area. Hathaway has to admit that she is far inferior to it, and of course she will not give birth to it because of it. What kind of jealousy came, and I found out this fact and asked for advice.In the afternoon, we drank tea and read books together, or went to the kitchen to make some snacks together. The red bean paste Similu Hathaway, who had agreed before, also taught Winnes one afternoon, which was not like the previous joke. Said to send the recipe to Mr. Borg.

Mr. Wallace found the maid Kelly again before the outing. After all, he had been in Rockfield for a long time, but there was no progress with Hathaway, and the family had already sent a letter urging him to go back. So he wanted to inquire about some personal preferences from Kelly to please Hathaway. Who would have thought that he called the maid to come in and found out that it was not Kelly who came in. After asking, he found out that someone came to Kelly's house and said It was the child who was seriously ill and needed her to go home.He couldn't help being unhappy when his plan failed, and Hathaway was inseparable with Winnes recently, so he didn't have a chance to be alone with her, so he rested his mind first.By the time he came to his senses, it was already Tuesday, and he didn't have time to ask Kelly if he was back. He could only wait until the outing was over.

Andrew made a lot of preparations for this day. He was on a meadow about 1 kilometer away from Rockfield. There were lush flowers and plants, and there was a gazebo built earlier. Not far in front was the woods where the gentlemen hunted last time. The river separates the grassland from the woods, so there is no problem in terms of safety, and there is no need to worry about any wild beasts coming here.

Andrew invited the neighbors around to attend the picnic together. Here, Mr. Borg, to be precise, Mrs. Borg, Mrs. Borg's mother, helped a lot. After all, Andrew has been away from home for many years, and he doesn't have many friends around. Also very rusty.Thanks to Mrs. Borg's help, more than 50 people came to this outing. Thanks to Mr. Tony's preparations, he did not neglect the guests.

The ladies were all wearing brand-new skirts, their hair was neatly combed, and their faces were delicately made up, showing the momentum of attending a ball.Sister Bogg's dresses were new dresses sent by family members by messenger, while Miss Hoffman's and Olivia's dresses were rushed out this week.Although it was just an outing, the ladies showed eighteen martial arts skills to dress themselves up, lest they would be robbed of their style by others, Hathaway doubted whether they could still have fun wearing gorgeous skirts.

Because I have been staying with Winnes recently, it is impossible for Hathaway to be sloppy even if she wants to, because Winnes really cares about her good friend, and she did not forget to ask her to be a consultant when choosing clothes for herself. Naturally, she was not allowed to be perfunctory, which made Mrs. Tomina overjoyed, and finally someone shared her work.

So the day before the outing, all the ladies had their hair permed, and Hathaway was no exception. She didn't want to do that at first. After all, she had natural curly hair, but it seemed untidy. In the end, she couldn't hold back Tommy. Mrs. Anna and Winnes.Her clothes and jewelry were sent from London by Philip, and they were the most popular styles in London this year.

Finally, when Hathaway appeared at the outing, she wore princess hair on her head. The upper part was held behind her head with a white pearl hairpin, which made the back of her head slightly raised, and the lower part was naturally loose, showing a neat arc. , sparkling like sea water in the sun.She was wearing a white high-waisted skirt and a pair of brown lambskin boots, which were light and comfortable. When she got off the carriage, she found that many young ladies wore boots as smartly as she did.

It took some time for the ladies to dress up, so the gentleman had already rode there first, and the ladies arrived at the outing location in two light carriages.At this time, a lot of people had arrived, so it was quite lively, and there were people saying hello everywhere.

Because there was no hostess to host the Butler family's outing this time, Mrs. Borg actually entertained the female guests. The ladies got off the carriage and followed the Borg sisters to Mrs. Borg.

Mrs. Bogue is in her forties. She has a slightly fat body and looks very plump, but her face is well maintained. Her complexion looks white and rosy, and she is very kind.

"Oh! Mom! I miss you so much!" The two Bogg sisters have been in Rockfield for some time, and Winnis couldn't help acting coquettishly when she saw her mother, and Miss Bogg also showed her little girl appearance. He took Mrs. Borg's arm.

"My dear daughter, I miss you too. After you left, the house is very quiet. I don't even eat well, and I lost two inches from my waist." Mrs. Bogue looked at her eldest daughter and then at her younger daughter with a smile. , looked up and down the expressions of the two, then nodded in satisfaction.

The mother and daughter told each other how they missed each other, and then they introduced the three ladies to Mrs. Borg. In fact, they mainly introduced Hathaway. The other two ladies had met at the last ball, but not too much. touch.

"Mom, this is Miss Hathaway from the Butler family. I am in Rockfield thanks to her care." Winnies whispered a few words in Mrs. Borg's ear.

"Miss Butler, oh, I know, you are Elsa's daughter, and your mother and I are good friends! I hugged you when you were little, poor child, how sad I was when your mother died Ah!" Mrs. Bogue stepped forward to grab Hathaway's arm and said affectionately.

"Mrs. Bogue, Winnis and I are good friends, and you are my mother's good friend. You can just call me Hathaway." Then the two exchanged greetings with Mrs. Butler for a while, and of course both It was Mrs. Borg who said, and Hathaway listened.In the end, Mrs. Bogue concluded that Mrs. Butler was really a warm and kind Viscountess, and it was a pity that she died so early.

While talking with Hathaway, Mrs. Borg dragged a few people to the side seats, where many ladies and ladies were resting.

"I remember that you were not in good health when you were young, but now you look good, but are you in good health?" Mrs. Bogue pretended to ask casually, but her ears were already pricked up.Rumors about Viscount Butler's family have been circulating in Kent. It has long been rumored that she is a rare beauty, but her health is very poor, and she may not be able to grow up.Immediately after Mrs. Butler passed away, news spread that Miss Butler was critically ill. Not long after, there were rumors that Miss Butler had passed away, but there were also rumors that she came back from the dead, and there were rumors that she went to London to recuperate. The most bizarre thing is that Miss Butler was the reincarnation of an angel, and was released after being summoned by the Lord. In short, there are all kinds of rumors, but it is true that no one has seen this lady since then.

"Yes ma'am, when my father sent someone to find a prescription from the east, I took it for several years, and now my body is already in good shape." Hathaway replied respectfully, while complaining in her heart.Back then, the incident of her resurrection caused a lot of trouble. Sir Butler took great pains for it. First, he donated a large sum of property to Christianity, and then released many plausible rumors. Finally, Hathaway was allowed to live in the steeple The hut made her completely out of people's sight, and the restrictions on her were not lifted until the old Sir Butler died.In fact, all of this was to protect Hathaway. Although there were no such remarks as witches at that time, the fact of being resurrected from the dead was too bizarre. Sir Butler had to do this in order to protect Hathaway.

"That's good, then I can rest assured." Mrs. Bogue introduced the three new ladies to the ladies. The Boge sisters naturally didn't need it, they were already familiar with the others.

After introducing the wives and ladies, Mrs. Borg led the five ladies to introduce the three of them to the gentleman. After all, this is an outing, but it is still a blind date. The introduction of the ladies is only incidental, and the introduction of the gentlemen is the most important thing. What should be in the title.

There are quite a few gentlemen here, and some Mrs. Bog who are talking in the distance will not be specially introduced. Someone will introduce them later when they play.She just introduced a few people who were nearby, Mr. Leonard Mallory, Mr. Brookbach, and Mr. Daniel Rowland. Among them, there was a Mr. Scott Walton who was the most rude, Mrs. Borg Ben He didn't want to introduce him, but when he saw a few young ladies he hadn't seen before, he came up to him, and Mrs. Bogue couldn't introduce him.

The Walton family is a large landowner in this neighborhood. Mr. Walton is amiable, considerate, courteous, and has a knight title, so he is very prestigious in the neighborhood.The Walton family has three sons and two daughters. There is also a youngest son who is not married to the youngest daughter. Among them, the youngest son, Mr. Scott, is the most troublesome for Sir Walton. Loved by Mrs. Walton, he was spoiled and spoiled since he was a child, and he developed a proud and frivolous character.This gentleman has been very interested in ladies since he participated in social activities, and he is already a well-known playboy when he was less than 20 years old.

This Mr. Scott is 22 years old this year, and his appearance is fairly decent, but his peach blossom eyes always look at the ladies surreptitiously, which makes people feel disgusted when they see it.Because this gentleman saw Mrs. Borg coming with some strange ladies from a distance just now, he became very interested, and he couldn't take his eyes away when he saw the blond beauty clearly.

Hathaway is already extremely disgusted with this man, and she felt a burning gaze staring at her before she got close, and when this gentleman came in front of her, the gaze became even more explicit, and he had fully interpreted Knowing the meaning of the word adulterer, he looked her up and down naked.

After the gentlemen and ladies finished their meeting ceremony, this gentleman stood beside Hathaway, "Miss Butler, I have heard of your reputation for a long time, but I realized that the rumors are true when I saw you today. Your golden hair Eyes that sparkle like jewels are simply the work of God!"

The faces of the ladies were a little ugly. Even if they didn't like this gentleman, it was still very unpleasant to be ignored in such a face-to-face. Hathaway also put on a cold expression on her face.

Mr. Scott was still spouting words of praise, completely ignoring the cold faces of the ladies.Mrs. Borg couldn't take it anymore, so she could only interrupt him, and quickly took the ladies away.
