[Sense and Sensibility] Fascinated by you

Hathaway didn't have a good rest that night when she arrived at Barton Manor. For some reason, she always felt that everything here seemed to have been heard before, and she had a strange sense of familiarity, but of course it was impossible.She had nightmares throughout the night, tossing and turning, and couldn't sleep well. When she woke up the next morning, her pale face attracted everyone's attention, and she attributed all this to not having a good rest during the past few days.

Everyone still greeted her until breakfast, which made her extremely uncomfortable. She could naturally enjoy the care of several close people at ease, but she could not accept the care of Sir John and his mother-in-law, Mrs. Jennings so naturally. , they turned their attention entirely to her, Mrs. Jennings eagerly asked her if she would prefer pickled herring or roast ribs for breakfast, and Sir John circled her eagerly asking whether it was because of his poor hospitality. Make her so spiritless.

Hathaway only felt that her head hurt even more. She politely comforted Sir John, and told Mrs. Jennings that a bowl of cereal was enough for her at breakfast. There was never a moment when she felt like Mrs. Middleton. Reticence is such an important quality, it is not advisable to be cold and gloomy, but excessive enthusiasm is also very burdensome.

At the same time, she also noticed that Winnes was looking at her with sympathetic eyes. She took the time to return her wry smile, and looked at the colonel comfortingly. This gentleman has not left her side since he found her uncomfortable. He followed her silently and looked at her with worried eyes.

After eating some hot food, Hathaway felt better, and her face became more bloody, which reassured everyone. Sir John seemed to regain his interest. He grabbed the spoon on the dining table and said loudly: " Hey, Brandon, it's such a coincidence that you came here. You must know that a tenant moved into Barton Cottage yesterday. It is my cousin, Mrs. Dashwood and her three daughters, so it must be Three beauties, I'm sure!" he said, waving the spoon, splashing the soup everywhere.

Both the colonel and Andrew laughed, and Mrs. Jennings laughed heartily as if remembering something happy, while Mrs. Middleton continued to eat her breakfast gracefully as if she hadn't heard or seen it at all. "Oh! I forgot, you're already engaged, but luckily we have a gentleman here who isn't engaged. I think I'll go and see them after breakfast. They've just settled down and there must be a lot of things missing, I have to take care of them!"

Mrs. Jennings said: "Yes, you have to bring them some more vegetables and fruits, and you'd better bring them the newspapers, because they don't have newspapers there." They are warm and hospitable, you have to bring them something according to your words, and they are afraid that their lives will be inconvenient. Winnies and Andrew also made some suggestions, and they were very happy.

However, Hathaway didn't hear any of these. Ever since she heard the surname Dashwood, she was completely numb there, as if struck by a flash of lightning in an instant. Those familiar names, Devonshire, Barton Cottage, Dashwood The surname was the last piece of the puzzle that held together the seemingly ordinary, and made her realize something astonishing.

She was stunned, unable to even move. She finally understood why she felt so familiar with this place after she came yesterday, but she had never been here before, yes, she had never been here but she had been in the book She has seen it before, and even watched the movie twice, although the memory is blurred, but she is sure that those are hidden deep in her memory.

She couldn't believe that she didn't travel through time and space, but entered a book, Jane Austen's reason and emotion.Maybe if she had traveled through Pride and Prejudice, she would have realized this earlier, because she was more familiar with that book. She had only read the book of Sense and Sensibility, and her memory had long been blurred, except A few main characters, others only remember some general plot.

Hathaway's mind was a little confused. She couldn't believe that she was just living in a book, or even a character that didn't appear in the book at all. Her parents and elder brother were just people in the book, and Colonel Brandon , Colonel Brandon?Thinking of this, she widened her eyes, and suddenly turned her head to look at the colonel.

She grew very pale. Colonel Brandon would be Marianne's husband, and they were a couple!

This sudden impact made Hathaway dizzy, and she felt that she fainted in the blink of an eye.The colonel who had been paying attention to Hathaway from the side immediately supported her limp body that fell to the side. He ignored the exclamation of several women, picked up Hathaway and walked quickly to her room. , Andrew immediately stood up and walked in front of the colonel to help him open the door.

Hathaway was put on her bed after a while of ups and downs. Sir John sent for a doctor. Mrs. Jennings was yelling at the side and couldn't figure out what happened. Andrew was walking around in a hurry , Winnis stood in front of Hathaway's bed with her hands clasped together, tears streaming down her eyes.

There were only two people in the room who could keep quiet. One was so worried that he didn't want to say anything. He sat on the edge of the bed and held Hathaway's cold hand, looking at her without saying a word; The other is the silence caused by nature, but fortunately there is such a calm person, she looked at the messy people for a while, just like watching a group of noisy children, she drove them away with a few words The reason for going out is simply not to disturb the patient's rest.

Although Hathaway fainted, she felt that only a short while had passed, and she quickly regained consciousness. She could hear other people's voices and think independently, but she couldn't open her eyes and couldn't respond to others.She was relieved when the surrounding finally quieted down, but she knew that there was another person beside her. Although he didn't speak, she could feel his gaze, warm palm, and the gentle touch on her palm. kiss.But she can't respond to him now, she doesn't want to respond to him, she still can't accept that fact, accept that all this is just a book, her father, brother, including her don't exist, the colonel will fall in love with Marian immediately, and finally The two got married.

During the period, the doctor came and said that she was a little weak, she didn't have enough rest, and she would wake up soon, and some people came and went in her room.Only Colonel Brandon, the colonel has been guarding her bed, neither speaking nor moving a step, he didn't even look at the water and food that Andrew brought him, just stubbornly holding her hand and waiting she wakes up.

Hathaway was immersed in her own world, thinking over and over again, and didn't wake up until dinner, she opened her eyes on her own initiative, and the colonel was still there, he was frozen like a sculpture by her bedside, as if she wasn't awake It's like he doesn't move.She smiled slightly, she had already figured it out, even if it was a book, so what, she only knew that she was real, her father and elder brother were alive in flesh and blood, they were her relatives, they had their own The feelings of her own life, this is the real world for her, the world she lives in.

As for the colonel, she shook his palm back. Isn't the colonel always in her hands?He has always held her hand and never let go, she never doubted his love for her, he has shown it so clearly, and also does not believe that he will suddenly fall in love with Marian at first sight, just because she is so damn similar His cousin, she would never admit that the Colonel's inexplicable affection for Marianne was love.

"Hathaway, are you okay? Do you have a headache? Are you thirsty?" The colonel's throat became dry and hoarse due to not drinking water all day.

Hathaway saw the undisguised love and worry in his eyes. She was silent, thinking that she was ridiculous. She could accept things like time travel, so what was living in a book?It was ridiculous that she should be doubting the colonel's feelings for something that hadn't happened yet.

She put the colonel's hand on her cheek and rubbed it lightly like a cat, feeling the calluses on the colonel's palm, "I'm fine, don't worry, it's just that I didn't sleep well last night, now I I slept all day, so I'm fine."

"You have been in a coma for almost a whole day, and you have scared everyone. Don't do it again next time." Although the colonel's expression was serious, he couldn't hide the concern in his voice. He only said that everyone was worried about her, but he didn't say for sure. The person who worries most is him.

"Next time, tell you in advance like this, okay?" Hathaway acted softly, expressing her silent apology.

The colonel tapped Hathaway's head with his hand, "No nonsense, there will be no next time, you are not allowed to faint again, you scared me today."

Hathaway laughed and muttered: "It's too domineering, I can't control this matter!" As a result, the colonel stared at her.

Hathaway and the colonel had dinner together in the room. This dinner was not romantic at all, but Hathaway felt very warm, as if their hearts were closer together.Maybe she was getting closer to the Colonel, he was there all along, but she hadn't noticed it before.She enjoyed his affection as a matter of course, but she didn't give him the same amount of love.

In the evening, Sir John came over and told the two that the Dashwood family would come to Barton Manor for dinner tomorrow. He hoped that Hathaway would have recovered by then. He must solemnly introduce their family to the two of them.

He would not have thought that his words had aroused Hathaway's vigilance. Tomorrow night, she must go to see what charm Marianne has and why she can attract Colonel Brandon's love. However, no matter whether she is outstanding or not, she will not Will give up the colonel to her, and the raging fighting spirit is burning in Hathaway's heart.
