[Sense and Sensibility] Fascinated by you

At the request of Mr. Marshall, Olivia sang songs for everyone, and Hathaway accompanied her.Olivia's singing voice is very beautiful, it sounds like she has received professional training, Hathaway is ashamed to ask her to sing such a song, it's really embarrassing, she can sing pop songs, she can't do this kind of opera-like songs indefinite.

Although it was the first time for the two ladies to work together, they had a good understanding. This was warmly welcomed by everyone. After singing a song, everyone praised it. The atmosphere became warm, and several couples began to talk enthusiastically in low voices. Finally, under the suggestion of Mr. Bogle, everyone started to empty the middle of the living room, and danced in pairs.

Mr. Hoffman invited Miss Borg, and the two, with the same aristocratic arrogance, unexpectedly hit it off.Andrew invited Miss Winnes. His unrestrained and unrestrained temperament is very lethal to young girls.Mr. Wallace hesitated for a while, and took two steps towards the piano. Miss Hoffman stopped him and invited him, and he agreed with a smile.

Poor Mr. Borg suggested dancing first, but when he came to his senses all the ladies had partners, and he could only sit there and chat with Mr. Marshall.

Only Colonel Brandon sat quietly in the corner. From just now, he seemed to be alone. He neither discussed enthusiastically nor listened ecstatically like the others. He didn't express his opinion, but occasionally there was a thoughtful expression in his eyes, and his eyes wandered between the two girls.

This kind of performance has won Olivia's respect, because other people's indifference to music has naturally lost her respect, and the colonel's focus on music, although not yet as fond as she and Hathaway, is quite Compared with other people's insensitivity, it is already commendable, which made her almost forget the unhappiness between the two of them on the day of the dance, but now she has decided to forgive him.

Colonel Brandon felt more and more that Olivia was very similar to someone he knew, with the same enthusiasm and cheerfulness, the same love for music and singing, so when he faced her, he inevitably regarded her as another Mademoiselle, I fell into memory again and again, and became more and more silent.

But for the other lady, his feelings were more complicated. He still remembered her bright but childish smile. At that time, she looked bright and happy, like an innocent girl.But when he faced her, she was completely different from that time. She sat quietly and gracefully, neither overjoyed nor embarrassed when faced with the man's overly courteous treatment, and faced with the calm rejection of the lady. She was not frustrated or angry, she skillfully handled these interpersonal relationships and became a lady again.

He can't help but want to observe her every move, puzzled and admired by her various behaviors.

In such a quiet and dark corner, Colonel Brandon looked at her recklessly. The orange candlelight coated her skin with a charming honey color. She no longer looked like a pure and sweet lady in the daytime, but A mature and attractive girl.She is wearing a lake green off-the-shoulder long dress today, with golden curly hair hanging down. The long hair hangs down on her slender and slender neck, round shoulders, sexy collarbone, and full chest. The colonel's unnatural He swallowed his saliva, his throat tightened violently.He felt that staring at a young lady like this was extremely impolite and honorable, but he couldn't help but cast his eyes on her.

Andrew, who had just finished a dance, returned Miss Winnes to her brother, and sat down next to Colonel Brandon. Poor Colonel Brandon was still staring at someone intently and didn't realize that there were too many people beside him. Alone until Andrew interrupted him aloud.

"Brandon, what are you looking at?" Andrew sat aside without blushing and panting. He used to be a dancer who could dance all night, and would not get tired if he had a lingering date with the lady. These two dances are not even a warm-up for him.

"Ah! I..." Colonel Brandon was startled by his sudden utterance, and a suspicious blush appeared on his face, which was not noticed because his face was not white enough and he was sitting in the shadows.

"I see, Brandon, you can't just peek like this." Andrew lowered his voice, his eyes shone with obscene light, and he raised his eyebrows twice.

"I, no, I didn't..." Colonel Brandon hurriedly defended, his heart beating fast, but he couldn't find any decent reason for a while.

"Okay, no need to explain, I understand, I know you will be interested in Miss Marshall. You pretended nothing at the dance last time, you should talk about this kind of thing earlier, so that I can help you."

Colonel Brandon still wanted to explain but couldn't say it. Should he say, no, I'm not looking at Miss Marshall, I'm looking at your sister?Andrew must have turned his face on the spot. He felt relieved and uncomfortable at the same time. He was indeed a good friend of Andrew, and the two had a close relationship. But when Andrew wanted to find a husband for his sister, he never considered it. Passed him without even thinking about it.Is it because he trusts him too much, or does he feel that he is not good enough for Hathaway at all?

Thinking of this, he immediately pulled the thought out of his head, he and Hathaway?How could he have such an idea, she is his closest friend's sister, and also his sister, he will treat her like a brother, care about her and love her, but it has nothing to do with the relationship between men and women.

"Don't worry, I'll give you a chance." Andrew patted his chest seriously.

"Do you want me to teach you how to do it? No girl can escape my palm before. Remember the Miss Anisa I met last year. She was the queen of the prom, and I was her dance partner for 3 nights in a row. If I hadn't been in a hurry to return to the army... and the Miss Vera I met the year before last, she was the earl's daughter, if not... and the year before..."

Colonel Brandon squinted at Andrew, "Oh, what you said doesn't count, but there is a lady I have never seen before."

"Oh, who are you talking about?" Andrew looked at the colonel proudly.

"Miss Elena, the current Viscountess Butler."

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

Hathaway walked on the tree-lined paths in the English countryside at the beginning of the 200th century, feeling peaceful in her heart. She traveled through [-] years to come to this land, but her soul did not change as time went by.It is already the beginning of October, and it rained last night, and the temperature dropped a few degrees compared to the previous few days. Those ladies might still be able to wear low-cut long skirts to show off their youthful beauty, but she can't be so self-willed, she She has always been self-aware and cherishes her life very much. Her body is inherently deficient. She is very afraid of the cold and catches cold easily. When she traveled through time, this body actually caught a cold because of playfulness, respiratory tract infection (inflammation of the throat), and then changed again. Pneumonia, which was already a very serious disease in the [-]th century, is completely dependent on God's will to survive, but the original owner of this body managed to survive, but then developed a high fever, and then died. Then she came.So she pays extra attention to keeping warm. Things like asking for demeanor but not temperature will never happen to her.

She wore a flannel Scottish skirt with a high neckline and buttoned all the way to the neck, and a dark red thin sweater outside, which was warm and comfortable.She doesn't like the curly hair common to women at this time, especially the small curly hair with bangs on the forehead. Her aesthetics in the 21st century is really unacceptable. The perm is even more natural and charming, so when she is alone, she either wears it naturally, or braids it into a braid, and loosens her hair a little bit, which is like a country girl.

The weeds on the side of the road are washed by the rain and are shiny and emerald green, and there are still dewdrops on the petals. If you walk under the tree, if you accidentally touch a branch, you will get wet from a light rain. Thanks to the rain that fell yesterday. Big, the ground is almost dry today, otherwise she would step on a boot of mud when she came out today.

Hathaway likes to go out for a walk before breakfast. At this time, the air is fresh and no one disturbs her. It seems that the whole forest belongs to her alone. No one cares about her spitting.

"Miss Butler!" Mr. Wallace looked at her in surprise, his face flushed with excitement.

"Good morning, Mr. Wallace." Hathaway curtseyed, and couldn't help complaining in her heart, didn't you play with your cousin late yesterday?What's the matter with getting up so early.

"Good morning, Miss Butler." Wallace barely suppressed his excitement and saluted, "Can we walk together?"

"Of course." As she spoke, she took the initiative to put her arm in his, and the two of them walked in the frosty morning.

Hathaway looked at Mr. Wallace slightly, and found that he was indeed a very beautiful young man. His light brown hair was combed back obediently, revealing a broad and full forehead. His blue eyes looked like those in June. The blue sky is pure and bright, and people can't help but feel warmed up. The white and clean face is definitely a face that makes people feel good when they see it.Moreover, the owner of this face has a likable personality. She believes that Mr. Wallace must be very popular in London, not much more than her brother who claims to be popular.

But this cheerful and enthusiastic young man who is always humble and sincere when facing others is always bewildered and red-faced when facing her, and his bright eyes are always wet with a pitiful expression , with such a cute look on her face that she couldn't bear to bully him.

"Does Miss Butler always get up so early?"

"Yes, you know, there are not so many dances in the country, and there are not many entertainments in the evening, so I can only go to bed early and get up early, and take walks as fun."

"Yes yes, it's a good habit, if only I could do the same. There are dances almost every day in London, I, I go with friends, ah! I don't go every day, I I just like to dance." Mr. Wallace said in a mess, his face flushed again, and then he said, "If you go to London, I, I can take you to dance together."

"Then if I go to London, I will definitely visit you." In fact, she really wanted to say that she doesn't like dancing. In movies, there are often scenes like this. A group of people are on the dance floor. Going around and exchanging partners, this kind of group dance looks really stupid. In this era, waltz and pas de deux were not popular in Britain. Only young people would dance that kind of dance at private balls. It was not decent and dignified behavior.

Mr. Wallace didn't know what to say when he heard this sentence, which made Hathaway couldn't help being embarrassed. This is just a polite remark, don't take it seriously, but she doesn't care if the words are spoken anyway. No error message was posted.

After that, Hathaway and Mr. Wallace took another walk for a while, and started a discussion on whether it was better to have a country dance or a London dance. In fact, it was only Mr. Wallace who said that Hathaway was listening. In the end, Hua Mr. Laish's conclusion is that both are good, each has its own advantages.Then Hathaway decided to go back to Rockfield seeing that it was getting late, and she had to explain her breakfast to the housekeeper.So she said goodbye to Mr. Wallace politely.

Seeing the background of Hathaway leaving, Wallace couldn't help calling out to her, "Miss Butler..."

Hathaway looked at him suspiciously, "Can I call you Hathaway in the future?"

"...Of course, William. I'll see you later." After saying that, Hathaway left alone, leaving Mr. Wallace with a flushed face secretly happy in place.
