[Sense and Sensibility] Fascinated by you

The three trotted all the way, and returned to Barton Manor at a much faster speed than when they went. Hathaway was almost dragged by the colonel all the way back. Even so, her cheeks were red, her forehead was sweating, and she was panting. He was pushed into the room by the colonel with a heavy breath.

The colonel followed the same way and sent Winnies back to the room, and then ordered someone to prepare hot water for the two ladies. He knew that he was sweating in the rain, and if he didn't change his wet clothes quickly, the two girls ran away. Not to catch a cold, he ordered the kitchen to prepare some hot soup, so he was able to go back to his room to change clothes.

Hathaway was sitting on a chair waiting for Abby to dry her hair, recalling the Mr. Willoughby she saw just now, but the rain was so heavy just now, and she was really far away from him. Apart from being sure of who She saw nothing except that Mr. Willoughby was more athletic than the gentlemen in London, and she was sure that Mr. Willoughby was not as tall as the Colonel, not as tall in stature as Andrew, not as powerful in physique as Andrew, and no more noble in temperament than Philip.

Because she hadn't seen this gentleman face to face, Hathaway was still not sure if he was a handsome and likable gentleman.But she can be sure that she will not like this Mr. Willoughby, because in the future, after cheating Marianne's feelings, he quickly married a girl with a rich dowry, and before Marianne, he still It's impossible for such a mean and flirtatious gentleman to get a girl's belly up and abandon her.

Condemning this Mr. Willoughby in her heart, Hathaway felt that she seemed to have overlooked something again. She tilted her head and thought for a while, and was helped by Abby who was wiping her hair with a towel behind her.

She carefully recalled what she had thought just now, and she made a girl's belly bigger and then abandoned her... Ah!She stood up suddenly, and Abby took a big step back in shock.

Hathaway's eyes widened, and she stood upright, yes!Willoughby had grown her belly and abandoned her!And that poor girl is Miss Elizabeth, Colonel Brandon's adopted daughter!

In February of this year, the colonel left London just to find her, but there was no news for two months. She and Winnis worried about her more than once, and even imagined the terrible situation she would face.But she would never have imagined that her vision had become a reality, and the person who caused her such misery was right in front of her eyes.

Hathaway walked back and forth on the ground irritably, tugged at her long wet hair, and finally sat back on the chair slumped.

Abby continued to brush her hair without any surprises. She had already discovered that her young lady was not as dignified as she appeared on the surface, and she would behave strangely from time to time.

Hathaway found decadently that even if she knew that fact, it would not help the matter. She could neither tell Colonel Eliza's location, nor punish Willoughby, and she could not even tell anyone what she knew, because All this can't be explained, she can't tell the colonel that she is from time travel, and the world they live in is just a book.

She downcastly drank the hot soup that Abby handed her, frustrated that she found out the truth and couldn't make it public, if only she could have found out that fact earlier, maybe last year, when we first met last year Just ask the colonel to bring Elisa with him?She shook her head, that's impossible, even if she had realized that she was in the world in the book, she would not ask a gentleman she just met to take his adopted daughter to visit someone else's house for no reason, so in fact she couldn't stop it at all. This happened.

Colonel Brandon packed himself up and came to Hathaway's room. He was always worried about her, worried that she would get sick if she got wet in the rain.As soon as he came in, he found Hathaway's sullenness, and couldn't help but wonder what happened to upset her again.

Once a person develops a habit, it is difficult to correct it, not to mention that he himself has no intention of correcting it. Colonel Brandon is already quite handy in coaxing people, and he naturally took over Abby's work. Abby walked out tactfully.

"Don't worry about Winnes, I have someone send her hot water and hot soup, as long as she knows how to take care of herself, she won't get sick." The colonel didn't ask why Hathaway was unhappy, but said deliberately Anything else that would get her attention.

Hathaway was really fooled. She froze for a moment, and then remembered with shame that she had never thought of caring about Winnes just now. It seemed that she hadn't paid attention to what was going on with Winnes for a long time. She Not really a good friend.Hathaway looked at the Colonel tenderly with her moist green eyes, "I'm sorry, I didn't notice these things at all. Fortunately, you took care of Winnes for me."

The Colonel couldn't help but smiled and quickly restrained himself. Being looked at by Hathaway with that kind of grateful and admiring eyes really made him feel elated, but he definitely didn't do those things to please her.The colonel coughed lightly, "It's a gentleman's responsibility to take care of the lady, you don't need to think about these things. If you're not for this matter, then why are you bothering?"

Hathaway lowered her eyes and shook her head slightly after a while.

The colonel saw Hathaway's grievance on her face, and her slender and thick eyelashes fluttering up and down. He naturally thought that she was upset about Marianne again.

He has always believed that to love someone, one must still maintain one's own principles.But today, a woman in need, and Hathaway's health, he made the choice without even thinking about it, it was so effortless, and he completely abandoned his principles, which is really shocking.

The colonel turned in front of Hathaway, bent his knees and squatted down, he held Hathaway's hand, "I thought you didn't need to worry about that lady at all, there is nothing in front of you that can steal my attention Miss Hathaway, you have captured the heart of the man in front of you, and it will not beat for anyone but you." He said, putting Hathaway's hand on his chest, letting her Feel that strong beating.

Hathaway's eyes widened slightly in surprise, but she quickly calmed down, blushing and smiled softly, and understood what the colonel was thinking. This was really a beautiful misunderstanding...

On the other side, when Andrew ran up the mountain, the man had already hugged Marianne and walked down the mountain, but because the heavy rain blocked his sight and he was going down the mountain again, so he had a lot of effort to move.

Due to the urgency of the matter, there was no time for the two to stop and get acquainted, so Andrew and the gentleman nodded to each other, and then silently followed behind him, intending to take over when he was tired.

Fortunately, this gentleman was young and strong, with good physical strength, and had no intention of handing Marian to Andrew. He carried Marian all the way down the mountain, then walked through the garden, and carried her directly into the house. Andrew and Marian Gretel followed, and the man steadied Marianne in a chair in the living room before letting go.

Eleanor and Mrs. Dashwood stood up in astonishment when they saw them coming in. They stared at the man and Andrew intently, expressing surprise at their appearance. The man first apologized for his rash intrusion , and then stated the reasons, with a sincere and generous attitude.The two looked at Andrew again, expressing their puzzlement at his appearance.

Andrew brushed his hair that was dripping in embarrassment, and said lightly that he happened to see Miss Marianne was in distress when he was walking, and saw a gentleman who offered to help her, so he just followed to see if there was anything needed place to help.

Mrs. Dashwood saw that both of them were handsome, and they both wanted to save her daughter, so she was very grateful to them and was willing to treat each other wholeheartedly, but she knew Andrew early in the morning, and another gentleman would Marian hugged him back, and couldn't help being more enthusiastic about him. She thanked him several times and kindly asked him to sit down, but she declined because he was dirty and wet.Mrs. Dashwood then asked his name, and he said that his name was Willoughby, he was at Allenham, and he wished to be allowed to come and say hello to Miss Dashwood to-morrow.

Because Mrs. Dashwood entertained Willoughby, she inevitably neglected Andrew. Eleanor immediately brought a towel and handed it to Andrew, so as not to let Andrew think that he was not welcomed.In fact, she valued Andrew more than Mr. Willoughby who saved Marianne, because he did not boast about his behavior to win the favor of others, and his care for Marianne was hidden under his understated words and deeds. This inevitably won Eleanor's sincere admiration, and she believed that this was a gentleman with noble character.

Andrew refused the towel with a smile, and said very freely: "No, I don't need this, anyway, I will get wet when I go out, Miss Dashwood, I think Miss Marianne needs to change into dry clothes, her ankles are also wet. You need to take a good rest for a few days. Since there is no place for my help here, then I will leave."

Willoughby was also saying goodbye to Mrs. Dashwood over there, and the two exchanged names and ran out together in the heavy rain.

Next, Willoughby's dignified appearance and extraordinary demeanor immediately became the subject of praise from the whole family. Only Elinor mentioned a few words that Mr. Andrew is very gentlemanly, but was soon made fun of by Mrs. Dashwood and Margaret. Willoughby's voice broke off.Marianne was flushed with embarrassment by such teasing, she lowered her head and wondered what she was thinking, but Elinor was sure that she listened very carefully to those words of praise for Mr. Willoughby, because she could understand him informally. She took him home and everyone praised him, thinking that he was decisive and his character and demeanor were comparable to the heroes in the stories she imagined.

Eleanor, sure that Marianne had by this time completely forgotten the other gentleman escorting her back, and even doubting whether she had seen the gentleman, interrupted the conversation with a sigh, and went to get some clean clothes. With Robbie's compliment, Marianne looked at Eleanor with dissatisfaction, and finally succumbed to Eleanor's threat that she might receive Mr. Willoughby tomorrow with a snot in her nose.

Eleanor couldn't help but feel worried looking at Marianne who was happily looking forward to tomorrow.

The author has something to say: Who will Andrew be distributed to?The simple and kind Winnes, the rational and intelligent Eleanor, or the sensual and unrestrained Marianne?

(￣[-]￣) Why does this guy have more choices than Colonel Brandon? This is unscientific...

The author gave the colonel only a single choice...
