[Sense and Sensibility] Fascinated by you

Hathaway felt that Mrs. Palmer had completely inherited her mother's character, she was always so kind and happy, as if nothing could hurt her. Any pain, when he despises and insults her, she feels endless joy.

Winnes envied Mrs. Palmer's temperament very much, and thought she was a strong person.Although Hathaway can't fully agree with her point of view, she thinks that Mrs. Palmer can't be said to be a smart person, but she is not smart and very wise, and can turn the troubles in her life into interesting things. Is it wise?

The Palmers went to the cottage on the second day after their arrival. Hathaway didn't know what method they used to convince the family. Anyway, on the third day, the three daughters of the Dashwood family really appeared at Barton Manor. Of course, anyone could see the reluctance on Miss Marianne's face.

She neither wanted to speak to Hathaway nor faced her direction, completely ignoring her.However, this has no lethal effect on Hathaway at all. How Marianne treats her, she responds to her.

She felt that Marianne had believed the fact that Willoughby proposed to her, but she felt that she had seduced him in some indecent and indecent way. She thought it was all because of Hathaway's mistake, Willoughby is always innocent.This is Hathaway's conclusion from Eleanor's words, but she is noncommittal about it. She has no obligation to correct Marianne's point of view, and she does not need to worry about her future. She wants to love Willoughby is hers Freedom, but this time there will be no colonel to rescue her.

Mrs. Palmer sat between Hathaway and Eleanor, welcoming the arrival of sisters Dashwood, and hoped to see her new friends in the city soon, but unfortunately, sisters Dashwood She thanked her and declined her invitation. Hathaway's own itinerary was still uncertain. She didn't know how the colonel arranged it, so she couldn't rashly agree to Mrs. Palmer's invitation.

"Oh, my dear, you will help me persuade some of the ladies to come to town this winter," cried Mrs. Palmer to her husband, who had just entered at this moment.

Her darling made no reply, but with a slight nod to the ladies, he complained about the weather.

"What a loathsome weather this is!" he said. "This weather makes everything and everyone so loathsome. When it rains, it's the same monotony inside and out, and makes one feel disgusted with one's acquaintances." Get bored. Ser John, too, doesn't even have a billiards room at home! How few people enjoy it! Sir John is as boring as this weather!"

In a blink of an eye, other people also walked into the living room, and Sir John made fun of Marianne again, "You probably didn't go for a walk in Allenham as usual today."

Marianne kept a straight face and said nothing.Mrs. Palmer suggested that it is better to have dinner quickly, she is very hungry now.

After the meal, Hathaway sat and chatted with Mrs. Palmer, "You've known the colonel for a long time, haven't you?"

"Yes, a long time ago. I've known him since my sister's marriage. He's a lovely gentleman, but too serious and rigid." Mrs. Palmer hesitated, and lowered her voice. "We might have gotten married." Married, you know, he and Sir John are great friends, and both Sir John and Lady Middleton would like that. But my mother doesn't think it's a good match, or Sir John would propose marriage to Colonel Brandon, and we We'll be married right away."

No words can express Hathaway's mood at the moment. She barely controlled her expression, but she thought the expression on her face must be extremely funny, "Colonel Brandon...the colonel expressed his love to you?"

"Oh! no, no! but, if my mother doesn't object, I dare say he is very willing. At that time, he only saw me twice, because I was still at school. However, I am much happier now Yes, Mr. Palmer is exactly the kind of person he likes. But Colonel Brandon will be a good husband, I can assure you that your choice is right." She smiled encouragingly at Hathaway.

Hathaway licked the corners of her mouth politely to the other party, gritted her teeth secretly in her heart, and felt that she had to have a good talk with Colonel Brandon.

The next day, the Palmer couple returned to Cleveland, and Sir John began to invite friends all day long again. He liked to gather young people around him very much, so many young people could not fit in the house, and the more noisy he was, he The happier he was, the more disturbed the peace in Barton Manor.Of course, the Middleton family would never despise such a noisy day, only the guests would feel such distress.

As soon as Andrew was sure that Willoughby had left Devon, he didn't have to walk with Hathaway anymore, and disappeared without a trace every day.

This morning, Sir John took everyone to visit Exeter again. Hathaway did not go with him on the excuse of waiting for the colonel's letter. Wishing to travel with Jazz.

Hathaway did not like to live a quiet life as much as she does now. Even if she and Mrs. Middleton did not say a word during lunch, it could not affect her good mood.

In the afternoon, the children of the Middleton family just got tired of making noise and went to take a nap. Hathaway sat alone in front of the piano, talking quietly about the piano. What she was talking about was a soothing piece of music on Mrs. Middleton's score , she didn't want to wake up those children again.

During the music, she vaguely heard the sound of a carriage coming from outside, and her fingers slowed down as she played the piano. Sir John and the others shouldn't be coming back so soon, right?

After a while, a servant came to inform her that Mrs. Middleton invited her to the living room. Hathaway stood up puzzled, straightened her skirt and walked out.

As soon as he walked to the door of the living room, he heard the voices of a man and a woman talking from inside. The female voice was undoubtedly Mrs. Middleton, and the deep and magnetic male voice Hathaway was no stranger.

The calm and gentle green eyes were suddenly lit up, and Hathaway took two steps into the living room, and then a happy smile appeared on her face.

Colonel Brandon was chatting with Mrs. Middleton in the living room. The lady just asked him the reason for his sudden departure last time. He politely told the other party that he needed to deal with some urgent documents in the city.The Colonel was an old friend of the Middletons, and knew Mrs. Middleton's temperament very well, and she did not really care about the answer to the question, so it was quite adequate for her.

As soon as Hathaway broke into the living room, the two stopped talking. The colonel turned his head to look at Hathaway. He stared at her motionless for a long time, as if he had turned into a statue, unable to move or speak. What replaced those was His eyes were focused and persistent, and there was only one person's reflection inside, as if thousands of words were condensed in these eyes.

Hathaway also stood there stupidly, looking greedily at Colonel Brandon. Although he had only been gone for more than a month, he looked much darker and thinner, his skin had almost turned into a bronze color, and there was no flesh on his cheeks. It made his facial features look more rigid and angular. The white shirt was a bit loose on him, and the cuffs were folded up a few times, but his forearm was smooth and muscular.He was a lot haggard, with messy hair hanging on his forehead, blue shadows under his eyes, and some stubble growing on his chin.Although he looked tired, Hathaway found him so damn sexy that she couldn't take her eyes off her.

Hathaway knew how much she missed him only when she saw the colonel sitting there.Miss his charming voice, miss his strong arms, even miss his frowning eyebrows.The Colonel seemed to have the same idea, and the two looked at each other passionately until Mrs. Middleton coughed lightly.

Colonel Brandon stood up immediately. He had a straight face, but he looked a little dull. He walked up to Hathaway with a stiff body like the first time we met formally, bowed and saluted, "Good day, Heather Wei."

Hathaway's face turned red, and she foolishly held up her skirt and curtseyed. "Good day, Colonel."

Mrs. Middleton finally couldn't help laughing, which was rare for the lady, and it seemed that the poor reunion of the betrothed couple really pleased her. The unmarried couple who had just met laughed so hard that they didn't dare to look at each other before clearing their throats, "Hathaway, you can take Brandon upstairs to freshen up, the kids are about to wake up for a nap, I should go see them It's over." The lady finally kindly left space for the two reunited lovers.

As soon as Mrs. Middleton left, the two were embarrassed to look at each other directly. They sat on two sofas and secretly looked at each other from the corner of their eyes. After a while, "Colonel...".

"Hathaway..."

The two called each other's name at the same time, and then closed their mouths at the same time. The two smiled at each other awkwardly, and the atmosphere returned to normal. Hathaway breathed a sigh of relief and stood up first, "I'll take you there Room."

The colonel also stood up and followed with the suitcase.In fact, he is very familiar with Barton Manor. He lives here for a period of time almost every year. There is even a fixed room for him. When Hathaway came last time, he was arranged next door to him by Sir John. When he came back, he naturally He still lives in that room, but at this time he will not tell Hathaway about it in a bad manner, and he is happy to have Hathaway leading the way.

When the colonel entered the room, the servants had already prepared hot water. He didn't care about packing his luggage, so he took a hot bath first, driving away the fatigue from the two days of traveling.After coming out, he quickly dried his hair, put on clean clothes, and hurriedly turned to the next room.
