[Sense and Sensibility] Fascinated by you

It was getting late at this time, several candlesticks were lit in the living room, Hathaway was sitting in front of the piano, the flickering candlelight reflected on her face, making her paler, her green eyes darkened into black , the corners of her mouth were pulled down slightly, showing a bit of indifference.The delicate and beautiful face in the shadows has an indifferent and arrogant expression, and the strong contrast of colors produces a unique charm that makes people unable to take their eyes off.

Hathaway then played Beethoven's Moonlight and Pathos. Her hands danced briskly on the keys, as if a fire was burning in her heart, turning her into an inflated balloon. It can be vented through the piano, otherwise she will explode.She's never felt this way before, and if it's jealousy, she doesn't like it at all!

Sir John praised Hathaway's piano skills loudly, and said to everyone: "Oh! This is really amazing. Brandon was such a dull person in the past. Now he has a fiancée, and he can't even see his eyes. Willing to move away. Hey Brandon, didn't you look me in the eye today?" He laughed himself.

Colonel Brandon didn't care about such teasing at all, he smiled at everyone and continued to turn his head to watch Hathaway's performance.

Marianne expressed obvious appreciation for the Colonel's performance, "I think that's how it should be. If a person finds true love and feels the charm of love, he should express it sincerely and enthusiastically. Doubt that there is any sincerity in the relationship. The power of love is great, it can make a silent person talkative, and make a cold person warm, which is really a welcome change.”

"Very good, very romantic, that's what a young girl should think." Marianne's unaffected and unpretentious words and deeds won Sir John's praise.

Colonel Brandon remained motionless and pretended not to hear what Marianne said, but he had some bad premonitions in his heart.

Sure enough, Hathaway turned her head and glared at the colonel again after finishing the pathos, and played a song that has not yet been created, the will-o'-the-wisp in Liszt's twelve super skills etudes, and her hands danced faster, With a string of short, urgent notes sounding with dizzying fingerings, the weird and mysterious sound of the music regained everyone's attention, and she expressed her sarcasm and contempt with such a piece.

Perhaps at first she had a great curiosity about the Dashwood sisters, and felt that she might be able to become friends with them. Eleanor was rational, and Marianne was unrestrained.But what I saw today, Eleanor is indeed smart and rational, and such a girl is also very easy to get along with. She will neither say embarrassing words nor make people uncomfortable, but it is difficult to become a heart-to-heart friend.Marianne is passionate and unpretentious, but she is too self-willed and speaks without regard to other people's feelings.In the presence of the other party's fiancée, blatantly expressing appreciation for men is not only unreserved, but also disrespectful to her.However, Hathaway sneered, maybe some men would appreciate such a bold girl who dares to love and hate?

In just over four minutes, a thin layer of sweat oozed from Hathaway's forehead. She stopped for a while, calmed down her beating heart, and was about to continue the next song. A warm and generous hand Pressing her hand, the colonel frowned and looked at her disapprovingly.

"Come here, you're tired." The colonel took out a handkerchief from his pocket and carefully wiped Hathaway's sweat, "She's not fully recovered yet, so I'll take her back to rest first." Sir John and others said.

Hathaway blushed with shame at the Colonel's intimate action. She grabbed the handkerchief and turned away awkwardly. She saluted everyone first, then lifted her skirt and went straight out.

Naturally, Sir John and Mrs. Jennings would not let go of the Colonel's explicit performance. Sir John continued to tease the Colonel, and Mrs. Jennings supported him.

After hearing a few words, the colonel bid farewell to the crowd hastily, and chased them out.Andrew nodded in satisfaction seeing Colonel Brandon's performance, while Winnis looked envious.

Colonel Brandon finally caught up with Hathaway at the door. She was pushing open the door of her room. He stood at the door and called out: "Hathaway..."

Hathaway turned around, staring at a pair of green eyes that were shining with anger, snorted coldly, turned around and slammed the door hard in front of the colonel.

The colonel opened his mouth and looked at the trembling door. After a while, he closed his mouth and scratched his hair. He turned around a few times irritably, wondering if he should knock on the door. He had never been knocked on the door before. The experience of slamming the door face to face, he thought that Hathaway was angry now, and she might not answer her when he knocked on the door.But if he just left like this, not to mention that he himself was uneasy, maybe she would be even more angry.

He probably knew what Hathaway was angry about, but it was also difficult for him to explain this matter clearly. If he said that he just fell into memory for a while because Marianne was too much like his first love, Elisa, then Hathaway would inevitably He will think more, and I am afraid that he will have other feelings for Marianne, but he can't guarantee anything for things that haven't happened yet, so the more he describes, the more he describes and the more he explains, the more chaotic.Of course, he could also say that he just thought Marianne sang well, and he was fascinated by it for a while, but he couldn't predict the outcome of such a statement.

Colonel Brandon stood at the door and gave a wry smile. Marianne and Eliza were indeed similar. Not only were they similar in appearance, but they were also equally passionate, imaginative, and high-spirited in temperament.If he hadn't gotten to know Hathaway earlier, then...he didn't know whether he would fall into the same love affair as in the past again, but after he fell in love with Hathaway, he was sure that he was powerless to deal with any People are tempted.

Hathaway is such a girl, even if she doesn't have such beauty, she still has striking qualities. At the first meeting, all her behaviors are absolutely in line with the standards of a lady, her temperament is elegant and dignified, and her manners are elegant Generous, gentle and demure in conversation, flexible and intelligent, coupled with her outstanding personal cultivation, these are enough to make her an ideal partner for many male nobles.But if you observe carefully, you can find that she is actually a calm and rational person, and what she reveals under her gentleness and politeness is a kind of indifference that rejects people thousands of miles away.But after getting her approval, she did not hesitate to give her sincerity. She is sometimes delicate and sometimes cunning, sometimes mischievous and sometimes confused. She is really a headache and a loving girl.

Hathaway sat on the bed sulking, unconsciously stirring the handkerchief the colonel had just wiped her sweat with, while glancing at the door from time to time.

She knew that her performance was a little too much, the colonel just stared at Marianne for a while, and he didn't even have a private conversation with her, she acted like the colonel had already had an affair with Marianne, in the eyes of others She must be a wayward and jealous girl.But she couldn't control herself from thinking too much. After all, according to the original development of the matter, they should be a couple. Just looking at the colonel's performance today, she knew that without her, it was only a matter of time before he fell in love with Marianne. question.

Hathaway threw the handkerchief aside angrily. Regardless of whether they were supposed to be a couple before, she only knew that the Colonel was her fiancé now, and she would never allow him to look at other people again. He became angry with peace of mind, and decided that he would never forgive the Colonel easily, so let him wait outside the door!

Early the next morning, Colonel Brandon had already gone out to pick a large bouquet of wild flowers and came back. He knew that Hathaway didn't like folding flowers, but he didn't mind receiving flowers from others, and she liked it even though she was clean. Make dried flowers that are about to wither and sprinkle them in the bathtub for bathing.

The one who opened the door for the colonel was Winnes, who arrived one step earlier. She smiled awkwardly at the colonel, took the flowers in the colonel's hand, and pointed to Hathaway quietly, implying that the colonel Hathaway was still angry.

The colonel nodded in understanding, and quietly stood a few steps behind Hathaway.

The lady sat obediently in front of the dressing table and let Abby, the maid, comb her hair. Although her face was stern, her eye circles were a little red, and her snow-white cheeks were still flushed with the blush of just waking up. She rubbed her eyes sleepily, She fell asleep very late last night, and Winnes woke her up early in the morning, so she was still dozing off in a chair, not noticing that the colonel had come behind her.

Seeing her cute appearance, the colonel couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

Abby turned her head and saw that the colonel was about to say hello to him. The colonel put his index finger on his lips and made a gesture.

Hathaway's head was turned to one side by Abby's rough action, she shed tears of pain, she couldn't help turning her head to reprimand Abby, but she saw the colonel in a good mood Standing behind her and giggling, she rolled her eyes at him and then at Abby.

Winnies had just found a vase to put the flowers away, and when she turned around and saw such a sweet interaction, she covered her mouth and smiled for a while, thinking of her hopeless relationship, she couldn't help but feel lonely, but she soon smiled again, I am happy to have found a good home for Hathaway.

In the following week, Colonel Brandon deeply felt a truth. A woman is a creature that must not be provoked casually. One moment she might smile at you with a smile on her face, but the next second she can roll her eyes and throw you away Stepping aside, their moods change faster than the weather in London.

His courtship, which continued for a week, provided Sir John with excellent jokes, and it would be a waste of their talents if he did not joke with Mrs. Jennings every day.But the colonel didn't care about such teasing. On the contrary, he welcomed it very much, because although Hathaway was still angry with him, she couldn't see the two teasing him like this. People made more jokes.

In the end, I don’t know whether Hathaway really forgave him, or was annoyed by the endless teasing of Sir John and Mrs. Jennings. In short, the two returned to normal, which made the colonel relieved, although the previous noise was also a kind of Interesting, but now he is more eager for peaceful days.
