[Sense and Sensibility] Fascinated by you

Hathaway felt that the people around her seemed to disappear, and her senses became extremely sharp. The warm breath behind her was spewing on her neck, which made her feel numb and numb, and her legs began to go weak.Her heartbeat was getting faster and faster, which made her worried that someone behind her would hear her voice, and then wondered if she had a heart attack.

The two stood there silently for a while, but Colonel Brandon's self-control was better. He first supported Hathaway's slender waist with both hands, and then took a big step back.

He collected himself and cleared his throat, "Miss Butler, do you want to ride it around?"

Hathaway's cheeks were slightly red, and her heart moved when she heard this, but she looked at Colonel Brandon in embarrassment, "Is it possible? But my riding skills are not very good." She turned her head and looked at Apo Luo's tall body made him even more timid, "To be exact, I'm actually not good at riding a horse."

"It doesn't matter. I can lead it in front and walk slowly. You just need to sit down." Colonel Brandon's expression now is completely different from the indifference with Miss Rebecca just now. I wanted to experience the feeling of riding fast on a thoroughbred horse, but was flatly rejected by Colonel Brandon because Apollo didn't like being ridden by strangers. Now he first offered to lend his beloved horse, and then he wanted to lead the horse for the lady. The treatment is quite different.

Winnies and Miss Shirley stood on the same spot, and on the left and right stood a man and a woman, both of whom had ruddy complexions, acting as if no one else was around. The difference was that one pair was full of passion, and the other was full of femininity.The two ladies looked at a man and a woman respectively, and the lines they silently recited were the same, what kind of trouble is this going to be!What should I do! !

In the end, both of them calmed down, looked at each other with compassion, and went to rest arm in arm.

Colonel Brandon put his arms around Apollo's head and whispered something in its ear. Apollo shook his head impatiently, and then the colonel thoughtfully helped Hathaway get on the horse. I went to comfort the uneasy Apollo again, and then walked slowly ahead with one hand on the rein.

Hathaway has never been interested in horse riding before, mainly because this era has strict requirements for women's riding posture. It is extremely unsightly for a lady to wear a long skirt and sit astride a horse, so it is stipulated that women must ride sideways when riding a horse. , this posture requires a high sense of balance for women. After a woman mounts a horse, her legs are usually placed on the left side. Although the posture is very beautiful, it is difficult to maintain balance.After trying it once, Hathaway refused to learn it again, because the English saddle was relatively narrow and she had to sit sideways. When the horse ran, the back was very bumpy. She was scared and ran away as soon as she got on it.

Colonel Brandon's horse is of course taller, but Qixi it walks very steadily, and Colonel Brandon leads it very slowly, and from time to time he has to look back to see if she is sitting steadily.

Although Colonel Brandon had to look back from time to time, it was not just to see if Hathaway was sitting securely. If Hathaway hadn't focused all her attention on maintaining her balance, then she would definitely be able to spot and watch around. There are not a few of them, Apollo is already very good-looking, and there is a fair-skinned, blond, blue-eyed beauty sitting on it, it is really not too cool, this is in modern times, sitting next to a Bugatti Veyron Goddess!The colonel has already attracted a large amount of hatred along the way, and it will be magnified just waiting for the opportunity.

Colonel Brandon was also very satisfied with this. He sent Apollo over, of course not for the outing, but just thought that if Hathaway sat on the Apollo, it would look perfect. I didn't expect this idea to come true. Yes, and now he is very satisfied with this decision.

Even more suitable than he imagined.The girl on the horse blushed, her hair was blown by the breeze, and the sun was shining on her face. The two occasionally looked at each other and smiled.The sun shone on Colonel Brandon's body, and he felt very lazy and warm. The roses on the side of the road were blooming brilliantly, and a few butterflies were flapping their wings leisurely. The long-lost relaxation and comfort, as if he saw the girl he liked when he was a teenager, or was so drunk that he was so drunk that he wanted to just lead the horse and go on.

As the time approached noon, Andrew ended the cricket match ahead of schedule. After all, he was not only a participant, but also the host of the outing. Naturally, he had to undertake the obligation of entertaining the guests. It was his duty to host a game, but for participation Or preparing lunch is his responsibility.

He took the sweat towel handed over by Olivia, thanked him, and called the nearby gentlemen and ladies to have lunch together. Through this game, he had become familiar with many gentlemen on the field, along the way Everyone greeted him warmly, and he responded appropriately, neither overly attentive nor arrogant, polite and thoughtful.

Butler Tony prepared a long dining table in front of the gazebo, with a variety of food on it, from bacon, cold meat, to various vegetables, sandwiches, fruits, snacks, and drinks, but mostly cold food , even if the hot food is served cold, it loses its taste, and it is impolite. These things are prepared early in the morning, and they are only placed on the master's order.There are also dinner plates on the table for the guests to take by themselves. Although many guests have brought their own lunch boxes and do not necessarily come to eat these foods, Mr. Tony prepared them carefully.

After Andrew arranged the table, he sent the servants to inform those gentlemen and ladies who were still playing the game to eat, and he himself had to inform Hathaway himself.

It is worth mentioning that Ms. Olivia did not sit quietly and enjoy the service of her husband. She stood aside and helped Andrew direct the servants to set the table. It was her help that made Andrew not in a hurry. Also very grateful.

The two chatted while walking, and now they have become very familiar.Andrew seems to be very good at how to make the lady happy. He is naturally eloquent, humorous, and always keen to find the topics that the ladies like, and such a handsome gentleman is always willing to accept the courtesies of the ladies.If it hadn't been for the blow many years ago, no one can say that he would not have become a libertine like Mr. Scott. Although he himself would never be happy about it, he has to say that he has lost the friendship of a lady, and for the sake of It is not a bad thing for him to go away from home. Of course, he himself will not thank Elena who rejected him, and he will not forgive his brother who made him taste the bitterness of failure. He has benefited a lot from his career, he got a lot of property in it, and he himself was promoted to lieutenant colonel, which made him no longer the second son of the Butler family who had nothing without his father's help seven years ago. Who can say that he didn't succeed from a perverted dandy who became a successful lieutenant colonel with a brain?

If he had met Miss Olivia early, he might not have bowed down under her pomegranate skirt. If he had only met Miss Olivia a few years ago, he would have been happy to enjoy Miss Olivia's admiration and socialize with her for a while, but now, he is no longer the one who was The young lady's smile fascinates the reckless young man who doesn't know the north, south, east, and west. Although he still likes to associate with young ladies and is willing to obey their wishes, he can see clearly that the ladies are interested in his rich wealth, handsome appearance Face, who cares whether this person is named Andrew or Howard?

Seeing the two walking with their horses on the grass from a distance, Andrew felt a little surprised. He had known Brandon for nearly ten years and had never seen him treat a lady so attentively. He always knew that the two were treating her. The attitude is completely different. Colonel Brandon has always been cautious in his words and deeds, so as not to give the ladies the illusion that they are not in line with the facts, making them think that they have captured the feelings of a gentleman. His silent and indifferent expression has always been criticized by Andrew. .He really didn't expect that the person he had been looking forward to for many years who could make Brandon look relaxed and happy would be his sister.

He stepped forward full of doubts and interrupted the familiar conversation between the two, "Why are you two together, Brandon, didn't you just say you were going to a horse race?" He scanned the two of them back and forth as if trying to find out what was wrong proper place.

"I happened to meet the colonel when I was walking with Winnes just now. The colonel's horse is so beautiful that I couldn't help but beg the colonel to lend me a ride for a while."

"I remember that you were most afraid of riding a horse when you were a child..." Halfway through the speech, Andrew couldn't help but look at the horse riding under Hathaway. He only remembered observing the two of them just now, but he didn't see such a big horse.

There are only a handful of men who don’t like horses. Even those who don’t like riding horses must know how to appreciate horses. This is like modern men who don’t know how to drive, but when they see a beautiful sports car in front of them, they must definitely get up and appreciate it. appreciate.Andrew is like this now, and his attention immediately shifted from chasing down the woman to the sports car, and while watching, he scolded Colonel Brandon, "Brandon, when did you buy such a horse, why didn't I know? You You didn’t even invite me to join you! Thanks to me, I always remember to ask you for any good business! I remember to invite you to the dance party, and I also called you when I saw a beautiful lady... ".

Colonel Brandon on the side was about to drip cold sweat from his head. As soon as Andrew came over just now, he looked at the two people with a probing face, which made him feel guilty. Before he even opened his mouth, Hathaway had cleverly diverted Andrew's attention. , He just breathed a sigh of relief, Andrew was talking nonsense again, and he didn't know what to say next!

The colonel quickly interrupted his next words, "Andrew! Cough cough, I will definitely remember to call you next time I buy a horse. What are you doing here?" Colonel Brandon looked at Hathaway with an embarrassed look on his face.

"Oh. It's getting late, I'm here to ask you to have lunch." Andrew still looked at Colonel Brandon blankly.

"Then let's go there now." Speaking of Colonel Brandon helping Hathaway off the horse, Andrew looked blankly on the side, thinking when did they get so familiar?
