[Sense and Sensibility] Fascinated by you

Hathaway feels that Ms. Marianne's life may not be very easy recently, because she neither believes her words, and it is difficult to contact Mr. Willoughby, so she will inevitably fall into the mood of pain, suspicion and disappointment. .

And she herself has returned to a peaceful life, at least no one will intentionally annoy her in the conversation, and the lack of this uncomfortable thing has made her feel much happier.Andrew had been with her on her walks these two days, for he was somewhat apprehensive that Willoughby would hold a grudge against them.

He felt very confident that if Willoughby should come after him, it would be nothing to worry about, but just another blow to himself.But he had to be on guard that he would look for Hathaway, if a person wanted to be despicable, it was hard to predict what he would do.

The day before yesterday, Sir John heard that a gentleman had come to Barton Cottage. He took Mrs. Jennings as a guest with great interest, and invited them to come for tea the next day, but he probably forgot the relationship between Marianne and Hathaway. The unhappiness that happened, or he felt that the feelings of young ladies would always change quickly, so he was rejected as a matter of course. Marianne refused to come to Barton Manor. During Hathaway's stay, she might not be there again. Here it comes.

Although Sir John and Mrs. Jennings were disappointed because they didn't invite their friends, Marianne's rude behavior could not anger them at all. Mrs. Jennings even said that she had never seen a more infatuated girl than Marianne.She loudly talked about the new gentleman, Edward Ferrars, because his surname began with F, so she had reason to believe that Mr. Ferrars was Eleanor's sweetheart, and she only met two people Said so swearingly once.

Hathaway is not in the mood to care about Mr. Ferrars now. It has been more than three weeks since she sent a letter to Philip last time, but she has not received a reply. This makes her very worried, but she can only Comfort yourself that Philip's situation is not very good, maybe he was too busy and forgot to write to her.

Hathaway and Andrew went out for a walk that day, and the scenery around Barton Village has always been her favorite. The last time Winnis's painting was shot here, she dragged Andrew to stay there for quite a while, When I didn't want to go back, I ran into Sister Dashwood and Mr. Edward Ferrars, whom she had never met.

Marianne turned her face away as soon as she saw her face, and stepped aside, evidently unwilling to even greet her.Eleanor smiled awkwardly and said, "Marian is still in a bad mood recently, I hope you can understand. This is Mr. Edward Ferrars, you must have heard from Sir John."

The face of this Mr. Ferrars is not very pleasing, his appearance is not beautiful, his manners are not outstanding, let alone eloquent, because when he greeted Hathaway, he only saluted, and even Not a word was said.

The three stood there and exchanged pleasantries for a while. Andrew greeted Mrs. Dashwood, and Eleanor said a few words about landscape painting. This made the embarrassment of several people less, and the three of them tacitly avoided Mary. On topics related to Ann and Willoughby, Mr. Ferrars didn't say a few words until they parted ways. He was too reserved and shy.

Hathaway didn't dislike Mr. Ferrars. She felt that this gentleman was similar to Colonel Brandon. When she first met him, he was also so taciturn. Shrewd and knowledgeable.She could not expect Mr. Ferrars' true disposition to be as agreeable as the Colonel's, but at least she would not be prejudiced against an ordinary-looking and taciturn gentleman.

After the two left, seeing the three of them joined together again, Andrew said calmly, "Miss Marianne looks a little more energetic than a few days ago."

Hathaway squinted her eyes at Andrew up and down, making Andrew feel uncomfortable, touching her nose and turning her head away in embarrassment, Hathaway snorted coldly.

Another thing that surprised Hathaway this week happened. She was sitting alone in the garden of Barton Manor that day, missing Colonel Brandon who had been away for nearly a month. His last letter said that Lisa has successfully given birth to a baby girl, and the mother and daughter are safe.But Elisa didn't get any nutrition during pregnancy, so the girl looked very weak, and Elisa's condition was not very good. Fortunately, the doctor said that she can recover after a period of rest.The colonel is still thinking about what to name the child, but there is no rush on this matter, just wait until the full moon.

After Hathaway sent a letter to the colonel last time, he still hasn't replied, which made Hathaway wait a little impatiently. She casually played with a pink rose flower with her fingers, comforting herself that maybe the letter was on its way.Turning around, across the garden fence, through the dense vines and flowers, she found a gentleman standing there.

The first thing she saw was a pair of brown high boots still stained with mud, and then black breeches. She looked up in surprise and found a gentleman she thought she would never see again in the near future, yes, Willoughby Mr. was standing outside the garden of Barton Manor, his horse tied to a tree in the distance.

A week has passed since that day, and this gentleman looks much better, except that his right eye socket is still a little yellow, his originally straight nose is now a little bent, and the corner of his mouth is still broken. After watching there for a long time, his face was gloomy, and there was hatred in his eyes.

"Miss Hathaway, long time no see. Or should I call you Miss Butler?" Willoughby sarcastically curled his lips.

Hathaway was stunned for a moment, but she came back to her senses immediately, with a happy smile on her face, as if the two were sitting in Barton Manor having afternoon tea, "Yes, long time no see, Mr. Willoughby .If you want, of course it’s better to call me Miss Butler.” Hathaway found that if you look carefully, you can still find that the bridge of Mr. Willoughby’s nose is slightly different from the past. In the past, his nose was straight and straight, and he looked handsome. It was very good, but now it can be seen that the middle seemed to bulge up a little, and then fell down a little.

Willoughby felt as if he was stabbed by that smile. He was really blind to see the other party as a timid and deceitful little white sheep. His face became more gloomy, "Okay, if you If you hope so. Miss Butler, it seems that you really play me as a fool, you must be very happy to see me courting you these days, right?"

Hathaway didn't seem to see how ugly the other person's face was at all, and even her voice was cheerful: "No, no, Mr. Willoughby, I think you have made some mistakes, whether it is your gallantry or your brain. I don't think I asked you to do those thoughts in the past. It's all your own decision and has nothing to do with me. Just like if a person wants to cheat, he thinks he has found a good one. The target of the attack, he has done all the preparations, but when he did it, he found that the person was not tricked at all. Then do you want to blame the other party for not appearing in front of you? Or blame the other party for not being fooled by you ? Don't you think this is too ridiculous?"

Willoughby did not show a trace of embarrassment when he was exposed so straightforwardly, or he no longer had that emotion in his heart. "Oh, even if what you said is right. I am too self-righteous, thinking that you will fall in love with me, but what is all this for? Is it just for the sake of pretending to be a stupid high-society lady so deliberately? Make a fool of me? Or let your brother beat me up."

"It seems that you have no other thoughts about what you suffered that day except that I deliberately designed you. Haven't you thought that all of this is your own fault? Maybe it's some crime you committed before, all of this It's all just retribution, haven't you ever thought about it?" Hathaway restrained her fake smile and looked at Willoughby seriously.

Willoughby yelled innocently: "Retribution? I don't know what wrong I did to suffer such retribution! Is it such a big sin to like an engaged lady! Or do you think I abandoned Mary? Ann, but I wasn't engaged to her."

Hathaway couldn't help laughing twice when she heard Willoughby say such ridiculous words, and then looked at him coldly: "Mr. Willoughby, if I really don't know anything about you, maybe I will believe you These words, I believe you are just a silly boy who is dazzled by love. But, you can’t fool me. I’m afraid you have forgotten someone, let me remind you, just in February of this year, In Bath, Dorset, you abducted a poor girl, she believed your love for her, abandoned her relatives and friends, and followed you desperately, but how did you do it?"

Willoughby was taken aback. He didn't expect Hathaway to know about it. "How did you know that? Yes, I remember the poor girl you were talking about, Eliza, and it was for that girl that you did everything you did? Yes, I did abandon her, yes. I can't argue with that, but is she irreproachable just because she's hurt? Just because I'm a libertine, she must be an angel? If she can't restrain her passions and irrational actions, I believe she would have been cheated by another man if not me."

Hathaway sneered twice, "What a ruthless person, Mr. Willoughby, you should really see how ugly your face is. This is the reward for your affection for Elisa? You have abandoned more than one The girl who trusts and loves you deeply, after abandoning her, still ruthlessly accuses her of being too strong and naturally irrational, I really despise you."

She folded her arms around her chest, raised her chin slightly, and cast an extremely disdainful look at Willoughby, "Now, let's see what evil things you have done. You deceived Eliza's feelings first." , and then ruthlessly abandoned her, without even leaving her your address, leaving her alone to wait for your return, of course she couldn't wait, because her beloved Mr. Willoughby arrived in Germany Wen Jun has found a new target, a beautiful, happy and enthusiastic Miss Marianne. Is this lady too emotional and naturally irrational? I don't think anyone knows better than you. It seems that you like to seduce Such a girl. Whether you are really in love with the lovely Miss Marianne, you gave her up as soon as Mrs. Smith announced that her estate was no longer yours. A fellow like you is not qualified to talk about love, You love only yourself, you're a selfish and mean bastard, you immediately thought of finding a rich lady, so whether or not it got to Marianne's ears, you immediately courted me, and of course we ended up There is no need to go into details. I think Miss Marianne should thank me, although it is a bit painful, but at least because of my existence, she can see your true face."

Willoughby looked at Hathaway with a little surprise. After he went back that day, he carefully recalled the relationship between the two of them, and found that Hathaway had not said a single substantive word to him other than pretending to be weak and innocent and misleading him. Everything he said was just his own imagination. For this reason, he had re-evaluated this girl, and felt that she was indeed a bit smart, but what he said just now made him realize that he still underestimated this lady, "Yes Yes, yes, I do not deny that I am a despicable, selfish, cruel villain, and I have hurt the feelings of the two girls mercilessly. But, Miss Butler, Colonel Brandon may not have seen your shrewd and indifferent appearance Live it? I wonder if he would still love you if he knew that his fiancée is such a person?"

"My shrewdness and indifference are only given to a gentleman like you. Of course he doesn't need to know. As for the relationship between the two of us, that's not something you should care about." Hathaway realized that she was getting carried away, she He looked away uncomfortably.

Knowing that Hathaway's inconsistency pleased Willoughby, he straightened his clothes and showed the chic and calm smile of the past, "Then we will wait and see, I think I have been here for a long time Well, the Middletons won't welcome me here. I'm leaving Devon soon, and there's a rich lady waiting for me in Honiton, so see you next time, Butler Miss."

Hathaway watched Willoughby take a few steps back and saluted her gracefully, then got on the horse and walked away, and then she was relieved. She was startled when she saw the gentleman just now, thinking that he She really wanted to do something, but when she found out that the other party just wanted to ask her for an explanation, she couldn't help mocking him. Thinking about it this way, she felt that she was really impulsive just now.
