[Sense and Sensibility] Fascinated by you

Mr. John Willoughby felt that his time was short, and you could not count on keeping a matter secret if it was known to Mrs. Jennings, and it was only within a short time of acquaintance with the stout lady. I can understand.

Mrs. Jennings found out about the incident today. She thought he was pursuing Miss Winnes. It was not a big mistake, but there was a slight deviation in the selection.But that didn't make much difference to the gossip-loving old lady, the matter would soon be publicized anyway, and the Dashwoods were so close to the Middletons that he had no doubts that the first It will be the Dashwoods who will receive the message.

He did not really wish to hurt their feelings, Mrs. Dashwood treated him with kindness and enthusiasm, she believed that he liked him, and was very satisfied with him, and he believed that if he asked her to marry his daughter, she would immediately agree, And bless them; and Elinor, who loves him with all her heart, there is no doubt, not so much as her mother and sister, but enough; and finally, Marianne, he is sure She loved him, loved him deeply, you could see it in her every action, every word and every word, even a stranger could easily feel it after spending a few hours with her.And her lovely appearance and touching manner, it is impossible not to arouse his love. Facing such a beautiful appearance, tenderness and sweetness, how can that man resist?

He loves Marianne, and she loves him, but these are not enough to overcome his fear of poverty, not enough to overcome his love of money and love of wealth.As soon as she saw Mrs. Smith that day, she reproached him for his mistakes, being a pure-hearted and orthodox person, but she also offered to forgive him for his mistakes if he would marry Eliza.This was impossible, and she declared at once that she no longer liked him, and threw him out of the house.

He pondered over what to do next, and it seemed almost certain to abandon his plan of proposing to Marianne (who was supposed to be going to Dashwood's that day) to leave her.He immediately remembered that there was a rich unmarried lady nearby. Although she still had a fiancé, of course, she had a fiancé, which also became the reason why he fell in love with her. He didn't like Colonel Brandon, not only Because he wouldn't buy his horses, and hated his seriousness.

She's pretty enough, rich enough, looks good enough, and wouldn't it be fun to see Colonel Brandon in pain?It's not difficult for him to think about it, as long as he provokes a few more words in front of her, properly shows his charm, seduces her, and teases her, these so-called ladies will easily be hooked.

Willoughby put on his most decent clothes, the linen material was tailored and well-made, which made him look very energetic, and he smiled in front of the mirror with satisfaction, thinking that even a blind man could A fair choice between him and Colonel Brandon.

Two days later, Willoughby drove his beloved pony carriage to Barton Manor, and not long ago Colonel Brandon was still critical of the curtain of his carriage, huh, Brandon.

As soon as Willoughby entered the drawing-room, Mrs. Jennings could hear Mrs. Jennings describing how poor she had been to Marianne she had seen yesterday. Her usual radiance was gone, and even her radiant countenance was dimmed.Mrs. Middleton was concentrating on fiddling with the wool in her hand, and occasionally responded with a few perfunctory words.

Sir John is also here today. He and Andrew are sitting together. The two are discussing hunting firearms. I heard that a gun that can be fired in bursts has recently been released. This has aroused the enthusiasm of the two of them. Almost wanting to have it right away.

Mrs. Jennings found Willoughby first, and she immediately yelled loudly: "Oh! Willoughby, you are finally here. I thought I won't see you in the past few days, haha."

The corners of Willoughby's lips twitched a little, and he greeted everyone, pretending not to hear what Mrs. Jennings said behind her.

"Willoughby, you cruel sir, I was very sad that Miss Marianne didn't see you when she came over yesterday. You must know that I assured her that you are a regular guest of Barton Manor recently. She was moved when she heard that." , but you didn't come yesterday, I think Miss Marianne is going to cry, poor child."

Willoughby sat beside Sir John in embarrassment and did not speak. Sir John also echoed a few words: "Yes, Miss Marianne really looks very pitiful. No matter how hard-hearted people see it, they will soften their hearts. However, Willoughby, have you heard of that gun?"

If Willoughby had not known that Sir John was a good fellow, he would have almost thought him mocking him, for he was the man with a heart of stone.And today he wants to do a more cruel thing. Thinking of this makes him feel better when he is questioned as soon as he enters the door. Hearing from Mrs. Jennings that his beloved girl is not doing well Very uncomfortable.

Willoughby reluctantly sat down for a while longer, listening to Mrs. Jennings' endless nagging, and at the same time responding to Sir John. Until tea time, Mrs. Middleton asked her servants to find Hathaway Come over with Miss Winnes, and this torture will be over.

"Is Miss Hathaway playing the piano? I heard beautiful music from the moment I entered the door, let me call them, and by the way, I can discuss with Miss Hathaway about a new score I got." Wei Robbie immediately stood up and said in an enthusiastic tone.

Mrs. Middleton nodded irresponsibly, and Mrs. Jennings winked and smiled as if she knew he was going to find Winnes. Andrew, who had been quiet for a while, also showed a meaningful expression. smile.

Willoughby went out angrily, feeling that the room was becoming more and more unbearable, whether it was Mrs. Jennings' funny teasing, Mrs. Middleton's dull conversation, or Sir John His dull nerves really annoyed him.

When he found the two ladies, Hathaway was sitting in front of the piano and playing a piece of music attentively, while Winnis stood by the piano and turned the score for her. Amid the melodious music, the picture was really pure and beautiful.

Winnes first noticed Willoughby's arrival, she curtseyed, "Good day, Mr. Willoughby." Thinking of Mrs. Jennings' embarrassing guess two days ago, her face turned red again.

"Good day, Miss Winniss, Mrs. Middleton asked me to inform the two of you to enjoy afternoon tea." Seeing Hathaway look back at him, he immediately added: "No, don't stop, please finish playing it , it deserves that kind of treatment. I think Miss Winnes can go first, you have been listening to it all afternoon, and I have no such luck, let me enjoy it for a while now, and I will turn the page for her .”

Winnis and Hathaway looked at each other, Hathaway smiled, and nodded unrecognizably, Winnis understood what she meant, and although she was a little worried, she still walked out according to her intention.

Willoughby laughed cheerfully. He had been waiting for this moment for a long time.He found a good position, next to the piano, just a beam of sunlight can shine on his side, he put one arm on the piano, one hand on his waist, his back straight, his chin slightly raised to reveal his face Intoxicated look.

Hathaway just glanced at him and couldn't help laughing, but she quickly stifled it again.

"Has Colonel Brandon written to you lately?"

"One came last week."

Willoughby sneered pretending to be disdainful, "Last week, it was too heartless. If I had to write a letter to my fiancée every day, I would have to write another letter if something interesting happened."

Hathaway smiled helplessly, "I believe that being your fiancée is really a happy thing."

As if to irritate Willoughby at this, or to think he had a cue, he said in an uncharacteristically excited voice: "That's not right! It's not normal! A beautiful, charming 19-year-old Who would believe that a girl from my family is going to marry a 35-year-old, self-righteous, indifferent gentleman? This does not meet the standards of the world at all. I believe you don't love him, and he can't say whether he loves you or not. There is no emotional participation in marriage. Should two people who are not in love enter into marriage? Who can allow it?"

Hathaway stopped playing the piano at this time, and she faced Willoughby with a strange expression on her face, her expression was half a smile, half a smile, half surprised and relieved, in short, the indescribable expression was extremely weird, her expression The dark green eyes are crystal clear, and Willoughby often has a feeling of being seen through when she is looked directly at by these eyes, but when she lowers her head shyly, she feels that it is just her own illusion.

At this time, he had this feeling again, but since he had made up his mind to marry this valuable lady, he had to go ahead, it was just his guilt.

Willoughby slowly knelt down in front of Hathaway, took her hand, and said affectionately: "Hathaway, I can't bear it anymore, tolerating that kind of existence is in your hands By my side, I believe you are the same. These days, your beautiful and moving figure has been tempting me all the time, and how your brilliant talent has aroused my love. Now, I dedicate my love to you, and my love to you. Let me show my sincerity in front of you, please tell me if you have the same feelings as me."

Willoughby saw the girl in front of him showing a cheerful and carefree smile, and he couldn't hide that complacent expression. He looked at Hathaway uneasily.

Soon, the expression turned into shock and disbelief, and Hathaway exclaimed, "Oh! My God!" She covered her mouth and pulled her hand out of Willoughby's hand, as if standing in front of her. He took a few steps back as quickly as he was looking at something dirty.

"Oh my God! Andrew!" She called out her brother's name, the panic in her eyes clearly visible.

Willoughby stared at Hathaway dumbfounded, marveling at the rapid change of the other's expression, but what is going on?What went wrong?
