[Sense and Sensibility] Fascinated by you

After Mr. Wallace left, Hathaway snuggled into the sofa. She had thought that the news would be known one day, and she thought she was prepared for it, but she still felt a little unprepared when asked in person.

When she first heard about it, she didn’t pay much attention to it. At that time, she was only 10 years old, and the matter of having children was too far away from her. She must have a married partner before she could think about children. This is because her thinking has not yet changed. Come here, didn't realize the importance of this matter.

Old Sir Butler was very troubled by this matter. He left a dowry of [-] pounds for Hathaway, but he was unable to do so. He was still worried about this matter until the old gentleman died. He held Philip's hand tightly and asked him to find a happy home for his sister, and if he couldn't, let his sister stay at home forever.

Philip naturally agreed. In this gentleman's mind, apart from giving birth to an heir for the family, Hathaway's marriage is the most important thing. He even added more money to Hathaway's dowry in the few years after the old Sir Butler passed away. Some, the dowry is currently worth [-] pounds. It can be said that as long as this amount is spread, there will be many unruly gentlemen who will approach this lady, but no amount of money can guarantee the happiness of a woman after marriage.

Just when Hathaway was heartbroken by this matter, she didn't know that two other ladies also knew the news.At that time, Mr. Wallace's panic as soon as he entered the door was seen by the two ladies, and one of them couldn't help worrying about it, while the other, no matter whether he had the mentality of watching the excitement or simply caring, in short, the two They all quietly stayed outside the door without leaving.

After the two of them heard the news intermittently, they both looked at each other in surprise, and then Miss Winnes went back to the room in a daze. Of course, if she could spare a little energy for the other lady, she would find out The other party's expression was completely different. Although the young lady restrained her expression reluctantly, anyone with a normal mind could see the schadenfreude in her expression.

Although Miss Olivia admired Hathaway's musical talent, she noticed the gap between the two all the time in the process of interacting with her. It must be admitted that Hathaway's appearance is even better, and she is also better than her in the music she is often proud of, and it is said that the dowry she found out is also extremely rich, which will definitely move the hearts of those who hear it, but The exact number is unknown, but judging from the time she was a guest at Rockfield, the Butler family is extremely rich in property, so the amount of this dowry can be imagined.

Two equally outstanding ladies are in the same room, and one can always dominate the other, so it is not difficult to understand Miss Olivia's mood.After returning to the room, she couldn't restrain her joy, and couldn't help but want to share it with others. She went to Mr. Marshall's room first, and it is unknown which rooms she went to.

Miss Winnies's mood is completely different. This lady is kind by nature, even if she hears that a strange lady has such a problem, she will be sad, let alone her good friend.She still has an indescribable admiration for Hathaway. This young lady has always had a low self-esteem because of her lack of beauty. She is always worried that it will be difficult for her to find a suitable marriage partner in the future.After she met Hathaway, she was envious of her appearance and temperament, and after getting along with her, she admired her wisdom even more.She often dreams that she can become a woman like Hathaway, and Hathaway is the representative of a noble lady in her mind.But the news she heard that night broke her fantasy.

When Winnis returned to the room, she thought about the terrible future that Hathaway might face and worried for her. She couldn't help but fell on the bed and shed tears.

In addition to the above four men and women, there was another gentleman who was also having troubled thoughts that night. Colonel Brandon still couldn't forget what happened a few days ago. Although he was delighted to be alone with Hathaway, but But he couldn't help thinking about the abnormality of the other gentleman, and at first he could secretly rejoice for the other's wrong behavior.But when he came back, the parties concerned kept tight-lipped about what happened at that time, and he had to consider the worst possible outcome, that is, Mr. Wallace had already made a successful proposal, but at this time Miss Hoffman rushed out and did something extremely disgraceful. Perhaps this can explain the abnormality of the three of them.

Thinking of this, the Colonel laughed at himself very much. Although he knew early on that there was no hope for an elderly gentleman like himself to pursue those young ladies, he still had a sense of luck. Maybe, maybe, just in case... just think of These colonels can't help but often haunt Hathaway, but they know that their conditions cannot be compared with Mr. Wallace, but they can only silently watch from the sidelines. Great luck appeared, and now he felt that even this glimmer of hope was gone, and he couldn't help but deceive himself, thinking that it was hopeless at first, but it was nothing, just a little heartbroken. Thinking about it still couldn't help feeling sad.

Some people are like this, they will only silently bless you when they see your happiness, if you are unlucky, he will help you without asking for anything in return, if you are willing to respond to him, he will serve you wholeheartedly pay.

***************** I am the dividing line where looks determine destiny****************

This is already the fourth week of October, the weather outside is very gloomy, the clouds are dark and heavy, but they refuse to rain, which makes people feel depressed.

This day's dinner was rare to be attended by all the guests. Even Hathaway, who had a foot injury, attended the dinner. Tonight's dinner, butler Tony, carefully prepared two big dishes, but unfortunately, although the soup was extremely It was delicious, and the roasted venison was delicious, but everyone at the table was silent.

After a week of recuperation, Hathaway's foot has basically healed, and there is no problem with walking, but she can't run and jump. This is really good news for her. You know, she has been locked in the room for a week.It's a pity that the dinner that night was extremely depressing, except for the sound of tableware colliding, almost no one spoke.Hathaway couldn't help but cast a questioning look at Winnis. Because there were still a few people between them, Winnis took it for granted that she didn't receive her message. The lady didn't even pass her eyes over. Just looking down to eat.

At this time, Miss Wallace slowly cut off a piece of beef, put the bloodshot meat into her mouth and chewed it slowly, then wiped the corners of her mouth with an elegant dining cloth, and said: "Butler Ma'am, I'm afraid you don't know yet, we will be leaving for London in a few days, thank you for your care these days."

Hathaway was very puzzled and said a few polite words, wondering why this young lady started to feel good about herself again.

"Originally, we might have to stay in Rockfield for a while, but because of something, we really don't have the mood to do so." Hearing this, Hathaway already had some bad premonitions in her heart, but She still refused to believe that Mr. Wallace was such a person. She looked up at Mr. Wallace, but the other party was eating dinner as if he didn't hear it.

It was Andrew who was amused by this sentence and became interested in talking, "Oh? What's the matter? Could it be because I didn't entertain you well?"

"That's not true. It's just because some people concealed some facts from us and deceived our feelings. It's really sad." Miss Hoffman said and made a sad expression.

When Andrew curiously asked what was going on, the lady refused to say anything, making Andrew still puzzled and thinking hard on the sidelines.

"There are so many unknown things in this world. If you want to know everything, wouldn't you be too busy? I only know that those married wives like to inquire about other people's affairs. I didn't know that Miss Hoffman also had this interest. If you put If you don’t know what you don’t know, you should treat it as a concealment, and if you are passionate, you should treat it as a deception, and you will be sad.” Hathaway couldn’t help but say these unfeeling words to stimulate Mr. Wallace, and satirized Miss Hoffman by the way, She felt that these two people were really shameless. They were the only two who talked about that incident that day, so Mr. Wallace was the only one who leaked the secret. These days, she felt guilty for hurting this gentleman's heart. When he was leaving She still vividly remembers the sadness and frustration, but the other party turned around and betrayed her.She stared at Mr. Wallace bitterly. Mr. Wallace only showed a little expression when he heard that he was being passionate, but then he sat there like a log again.

Hathaway glanced at the guests sitting there, feeling extremely annoyed.If you say they don’t know anything, it’s an insult to your IQ, but you can tell from the expressions on the faces of Miss Borg and the Marshall brothers and sisters that these three are insiders. Mr. Borg is very embarrassed, only Winnie Thinking made her feel very sad, and she was ashamed to lower her head and dare not look at her.Mr. Hoffman's face was full of disapproval, and he seemed to be an insider.The only ones at the dinner table who were relentless were Andrew and Colonel Brandon. One of the two was still thinking belatedly, and the other frowned and noticed something was wrong.

Miss Hoffman was almost speechless when she heard Hathaway's words, but she breathed a sigh of relief and said triumphantly: "I didn't inquire about this, someone told me about it, anyway Whether it's self-indulgent or sad, we will be leaving in a few days, so I can only wish you good luck in advance." The young lady laughed again.

This day's dinner broke up again in the end. Miss Hoffman was proud on the surface. Of course, she comforted herself that she would leave here soon. William and Hathaway had no chance, but who could guarantee that they would return to London? Mr. Lace will marry her. You must know that she has more opponents in London.

As for Andrew, the unresponsive guy, he didn't understand what happened from the beginning to the end. It was only after the meal that Colonel Brandon reminded him to ask Hathaway.
