five scandals

At this time, the church bell rang, and Margaret knew that there was only one central church in Milton, and it seemed that the only person who left last night was her mother.She stood up and hurried to the window. A flock of crows was hovering over the gray church tower. She suddenly hid her face, but she did not shed tears in front of strangers.

Margaret bravely stood in front of Police Officer Mason, now all silence or concealment is no longer meaningful, all that is left is to go to the court to fight openly, knowing that her brother was sentenced to death a few years ago When it comes to treason, there is no chance to even go to court to argue.

"Officer Mason," Margaret raised her head and looked at him firmly, "for the sake of God and the dead, please treat us with mercy. The man in the prison is my brother Frey Derek Hale, he came back to visit his mother at the risk of being hanged. If one day in the future, he is sentenced by the court to stand on the gallows, then I hope you will allow him to attend his mother's funeral today."

Miss Hale chose to tell the truth at this moment, and Officer Mason also knew that the crime of treason was unforgivable, and the unexplained brawl yesterday made the prisoner in the dungeon bear a life lawsuit.Judging from his years of law enforcement experience, it is almost impossible for the jury to choose a sentence other than hanging.

The sound of the church bell made people panic, and Mason unconsciously looked at Mr. Thornton to ask for his thoughts. Thornton and Carl exchanged glances, and Carl nodded slightly to him.

Thornton then decided: "Call most of the people, handcuff and shackle the suspect, call a carriage, and let's go to church once."

Carl understood and said: "In that case, Miss Margaret, take my carriage home next time and bring your father along."

Mr. Hale had recovered from the shock a little. When Margaret entered, he was sitting on the rocking chair in front of the window. He turned around when he heard the sound: "Margaret, are you here?"

Margaret walked over and knelt beside her father.

Mr. Hale touched her hair: "Fred was caught, I am very sad, although he has not been by my side these years, but I know he must be alive and well, what a clever boy he is. But now I'm strangely relieved that he's behind bars, and anyway, we've got to do what we can to bring him to court, get him a defense lawyer, and let him speak for himself with dignity."

Margaret nodded desperately, Carl stepped forward to help the old gentleman when he saw this, and Mr. Hale gave him a meaningful look.Although he is honest and pedantic, he is not stupid. Although Mr. Hockley is a flamboyant and extravagant young man, his teacher knows that he is not a bad person.

Rather than saying that he is arrogant and mean, Mr. Hale thinks that a noble boy like Mr. Hockley may be clumsy because he is rich and clumsy, because he doesn't know what else can win the heart of a beautiful woman except money.

mr hale

He was right to worry. Carl once used money to pursue a woman, but he was tricked.

So this time he is watching, he is waiting, he has never been stingy with money, but now he has learned to judge whether a woman is worth his money, everything now is just a matter of effort.

The pastor at Milton Church was taken aback by the procession of a dozen policemen, especially the one who was holding a criminal with his hands and feet bound.

With heavy steps, Frederick moved to the first row of pews, dragging the shackles on his legs, and began to listen to the priest's prayer.

Taking advantage of the gap, Mr. Hale asked Margaret in a low voice: "Are you going to let Henry take Fred's case?"

Before coming to Milton, Margaret had just attended her cousin's wedding, and Henry was his cousin's brother-in-law, a young and promising lawyer in London, but his sudden actions made the situation complicated some.

One day he appeared at Margaret's house without warning and proposed to the girl, but he was rejected without accident.

Xu is concerned, but he is in chaos. When he was doing this, he was not as shrewd and calm as a lawyer.

Margaret was still tangled in her heart before she nodded: "Yes, I plan to write to him."

Carl listened to their conversation quietly, thinking secretly, and turned to find his own consultant, Mr. Swell, a barrister in London.He is a veteran of the legal circle in London, and he will take care of up-and-comers who have a little future, so as to further strengthen his law firm and career. Therefore, when Carl mentioned the name Henry Lennox, Mr. Swell was a little bit impression.

"Good-looking, dignified appearance, very suitable for court." Mr. Swell wondered why such a young lawyer aroused the curiosity of his employer: "But he is a bit impulsive, not experienced enough, and his talent is not particularly outstanding. Fortunately, he worked hard. "

Carl smiled, Frederick's case is quite difficult in the eyes of laymen, let alone these professionals.It is conceivable that Henry Lennox would be fine if he was smart enough to refuse at the beginning, otherwise he might lose ugly in court in the future.

But he didn't know how much Henry admired Margaret, and how much Halle and his daughter looked forward to his arrival. When Carl and Thornton went to class as usual, they ran into this girl who had just settled down. Just come to visit the guests.

Henry was the same as Mr. Swell described, with a tall figure and a square face. He looked like a typical lawyer, but he looked very upright.His personality is indeed somewhat impulsive, and he made no secret of his joy at seeing Margaret.

Carl sneered: Even the dead can see what this Mr. Henry is up to.

Because it was related to Frederick's life and death, and it was her own family business, Margaret didn't tell the whole story in the letter when she was not sure whether Henry would help.now henry lives up to

Her expectations, Margaret hurriedly led him to the living room opposite the study to discuss in detail.

Carl absently touched the yellowed edge of "Utopia" in his hand, and glanced at the closed door from time to time, so that Thornton had to smooth things over for Mr. Hale when he asked questions.

Then to his joy, the door was slammed open, and he heard Henry's muffled voice: "Miss Margaret, this is the best suggestion I can make, but if you If I can’t make a rational judgment and question my professional ability, I’m afraid I’m just asking for trouble if I stay here.”

Mr. Hale suddenly became unhappy when he saw a good thing, so he stepped forward and asked with concern: "What's the matter?"

Henry's face was blue, and he only endured to say goodbye, as if he had reached his limit, he went downstairs quickly, and disappeared at the corner of the street in an instant.

Margaret covered her face and wept, and Mr. Hale could only pat her on the shoulder to comfort her.

Thornton deliberately took a look at Carl's reaction, and saw that he had changed his fidgeting expression before, and now he was quite relaxed in the chair, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Regarding his usual style, Thornton knew it well, and he was not worried about Carl doing something disrespectful. Judging from the previous two times, it was Margaret who had more time to lose.

Sure enough, Carl was the one who borrowed an umbrella in the rain: "Ah, Mr. Hale, do you remember the consultant Mr. Swell I mentioned to you?"

"Ah, Mr. Swell," Mr. Hale's eyes lit up. "It is said that Mr. Welland and his daughter are about to have a good time."

Margaret also heard something, watching the corners of her father's lips quivering excitedly.

Carl Hockley is the employer of Mr. Swell, and Miss Swell is the fiancée of Carl's friend Bob, and Bob's sister is Thornton's fiancée. What a different circle, Margaret realized, When she put all her hopes on Henry, she never thought of asking them for help. They were so different people that Margaret felt awkward.

Carl looked at Margaret's pensive face with a smile: "Miss Hale, can you tell me what opinion Mr. Henry made?"

"He..." Margaret pursed her lips. She knew that Henry was right, but her emotions couldn't accept it: "He asked my brother to plead guilty and fight for a lighter sentence, because death by accident is already a clear crime, and there are many witnesses .And for treason, there's nothing he can do about it."

"Then what is the so-called light sentence?" Carl asked tirelessly.

Margaret took a sharp breath and replied, "Exile."

As soon as she finished speaking, even Mr. Hale couldn't help shaking his feet. After finally standing still, the old man cast his hopeful eyes on Carl.

Karl accepted the gaze calmly, and did not disappoint others' expectations: "Well, let me discuss it with Mr. Swell first, and see what he thinks?

Let me recommend you a good candidate. "

Mr. Hale took a quick step forward and took Carl's hand. He didn't look like an old man. Taking advantage of his inattention, Carl smiled triumphantly at Margaret, and Margaret lowered her head.

Due to the different charges, Frederick was asked to go to a court-martial first.In fact, if he was just a nobody, the court only needs to issue a judgment, because Frederick is not qualified to stand with Colonel Reed, the hereditary nobleman.

Only when the defender handed it over to the military committee, and the defender's signature was London's Maury Swell Law Firm, the trial had to be officially held.

However, Thornton did not expect that May would leave Downton and come to Milton in the next few days, and the reason was not explained in the telegram.

After the two met, before they had time to express their missing, Thornton asked doubtfully, "Why would Mrs. Welland agree to your coming?"

Mei's expression was very strange, a little scared and a little resolute: "Uncle Robert suggested that my mother go back, saying yes... there may be major changes in the future, although it is not certain, but he tried his best to advise my mother, so as not to think about it. When I left, I just couldn’t walk.”

Thornton somewhat understood the meaning of Earl Grantham's words: "What about you?"

"I'm not going," May said, clutching his hand, "it's still uncertain. Maybe it's not that bad. Uncle Robert also heard about the lawsuit. He told you not to worry too much. At this moment, the country will not Arbitrarily judging a person who can go to the battlefield in the future, people are the most precious treasure now."

Thornton held his most precious treasure in his arms and said emotionally: "May, thank you, we are married, you marry me."

Mei has long been used to being intimate with Thornton, so she pushed him away not because of shyness or anything. She was almost dazzled by the joy of reunion, and quickly took out a letter from her handbag: "This is It was my mother who asked me to give it to you before she left, saying that she could agree to our marriage, but you must fulfill her request, whether we can be together or not will be decided by God."

Thornton hastily opened the letter without even bothering to find a letter opener. He quickly read the short letter twice before crumpling it into a ball and stuffing it into his trouser pocket.

He pondered for a long time, sat down with Mei, held her in his arms and kissed her for a long time, and then pressed his forehead and said with difficulty: "Mei, Mrs. Welland's words are very reasonable, I can't..."

Mei held his face, looked carefully, and asked softly: "What did mother say? You... Thornton, what you said just now, you want me to marry you..."

"I'm sorry," Thornton closed his eyes: "We can't for the time being."

He opened his eyes, wiped the corners of Mei's eyes with rough fingers, and wiped away a drop of crystal tears: "Mrs. Welland asked us not to get married this year, if... I mean, if the war breaks out, she wants me to wait until the end of the war

, Only after being demobilized alive can I marry you.Mei, she is your mother, she is indeed for your own good, even I cannot deny it. "

"Yes, for my own good, the price is too small compared to her disapproval." Mei wiped her face with a handkerchief embroidered with lilies of the valley, and regained her usual composure: "Then we will wait until next spring." your arrival, or let me wait for your return."

The author has something to say: I spent all day yesterday on the annual meeting, played very late, and went home with the third prize, haha

six scandals

After all, May and Thornton did not wait for the next spring, since Archduke Ferdinand was shot dead in the Balkans at the end of June, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire declared war on Serbia in July.Public opinion in the UK has always been inclined to wait and see. The Liberal Party tries to stabilize the domestic situation first and create a political revival in order to resist the rising popularity of the Labor Party.

But Germany's front stretched extremely fast, first declaring war on Russia and France, and then invading neutral Belgium on August 8th.At this time, the United Kingdom had to consider the importance of Belgium to its own national security. In view of the "London Treaty" in 4, Belgium was required to remain neutral forever, so other countries also had the responsibility to protect this neutral country.

Without any hesitation, on the same day, Great Britain officially declared war on Germany.

Downton Abbey is holding an open-air celebration, and Mary's belly has not yet bulged, but the guests who came to congratulate all know that the young lady of the Crowley family is a pregnant woman full of stars.

Mary was wearing a sun hat, lying on a soft recliner under the set up awning, with a thin blanket covering her stomach.

Matthew stayed by her side, and the two of them were surrounded by laughter and laughter, but they were whispering to themselves.

Mary took a sip of the juice that Matthew handed to her mouth, and slowly enjoyed the pleasant sourness. Even Matthew couldn't help but sour his cheeks: "I really hope that after the baby is born, I won't see it again. Your expression of enjoyment."

"Unless you plan to have only one child," Mary leaned closer and whispered, stroking her stomach tenderly, "but I don't think it's possible, how quickly the child will come."

Matthew's expression showed the joy and nervousness of being a father for the first time: "Yes, this child didn't even give me any time to prepare mentally, Mary, the time we lived alone was too short."

Mary quietly pinched the back of his hand: "Mom and Dad have three daughters. I don't think the three ladies disturb the time that the Count and Countess spend together."

At this time, the butler Carson came out from the back room, and handed a telegram to the master nervously.

The Earl seemed to have sensed it a long time ago. He took the small piece of paper steadily, quickly opened it and read it, with a serious and determined face, he interrupted the harmony and beauty of this last moment: "Everyone, I To make an announcement."

Mary sat up straight involuntarily, clutching Matthew nervously, everyone looked at the count, and the band stopped playing.

Times are about to change, Earl Grantham announced: "Gentlemen and ladies, just a moment ago, our country has declared war on Germany."

The crowd became agitated, the women looked at the man, and the man looked at the count. It was conceivable that the conscription order would be issued soon, and the time to serve the country was coming.

Matthew did not receive Mary's gaze. He looked at Mary, but saw her staring at his father, looking at the towering

In Downton on the lawn, she turned her eyes to herself in a moment, and squeezed out a forced but still graceful smile: "Matthew, before the conscription order arrives in Downton, I think you can still stay with me for a few weeks .”

"Yes, we still have a few weeks." He shook Mary's hand, and Matthew read the voice in Mary's heart at that moment. If the war cannot be avoided, then fortunately they already have Downton. heir.

This is Mary's thinking mode, and it is also the thinking mode that the next heir, Matthew, should get used to, because he is bound to go to the battlefield soon.

The situation developed even faster than expected. Also in August, the first British Expeditionary Force left for the European continent after the French frontier battle.

In early September, Britain and France invested a total of 9 million troops in the first Battle of the Marne with Germany. After the battle, both sides had successes and failures, and the British Expeditionary Force lost 150 people.It was not long before conscription orders reached several counties in northern England.

Milton is in a gloomy mood. This textile industrial center can easily be predicted to decline in the next few years, because the economic depression and sharp reduction in the labor force caused by the war will deal a huge blow to the city.

In the women's salon, Mrs. Thornton sat high on the throne as usual, as if it was not her son who was drafted into the army.

"Why are you not in a hurry?" said the wife of a certain factory owner. The lady was very anxious. She thought that although Mrs. Thornton had everything, she had no husband. She was about to be a widow: "Mrs. Thornton, you only have one son."

Mrs. Thornton gave her a cold look: "Even if there is only one son, the only son cannot be made a coward."

The woman shrank her head and neck and stopped talking.

They gathered here today to discuss the establishment of a Women's War Aid Association to organize fundraising and publicity.

After the conscripts completed their missions, they were ready to go at any time. All the chimneys in Milton would be smoke-free, no one would run the machines, and all the men would be huddled in the factory day and night to catch up on the final orders.There were no new orders. The need for clothing in wartime was far lower than in peacetime. People were more concerned about durability and practicality.

Mrs. Thornton thought of her prospective daughter-in-law, Miss May Welland. She had returned to Downton Abbey a week ago. She couldn't understand why this girl left Milton at this moment, and she couldn't help but feel gloomy.Even if it is as strict and rigid as this Mrs. Thornton, it is strange that the two young people should not hurry up and stay together at this moment?

It's not that she didn't ask her son, and he didn't seem to know about it, and he was even reluctant.

This can't help but make people worry that at this moment of separation, if the two have any unpleasantness, whether the grand plan of the mother-in-law, Mrs. Welland, who has never met, will succeed.

Just in Mulberry

When Mrs. Dunton was worried, May returned from Downton just in time for Thornton's departure, but a quarrel broke out between the two.Because it is impossible to imagine that his son would discuss the issue with his beloved girl so severely, even Mrs. Thornton could not hide her curiosity to eavesdrop.

"May, I said that I don't want to do this. Even if Marlborough is temporarily closed, I don't want to get any government orders because of nepotism." Thornton held his head in annoyance: "I made it very clear to you, I If you don't need to find someone, and don't need to rely on your relationship, that's not the right way for me."

Mei rarely insisted, otherwise she would not have run out at this moment and did things against Thornton's wishes: "Why is this not a legitimate way? Marlborough's products have not lost to anyone, even in military supplies We don't have any qualifications, but what about wartime supplies? We can produce nurses' uniforms and aprons. I clearly put Marlborough's advantages on the table. It doesn't matter what kind of channel we choose, Uncle Robert just gave me a message, and it's up to us to win the order."

Thornton stood up abruptly: "May, you also said that you went to the Earl of Grantham. If it weren't for him, even if Marlborough's machine could weave flowers, I would have no way to go, and production must be stopped now. But , I didn't meet you just to find a way, Mei, and I don't want you to do that either."

"John, I admired you in the past, because you have principles and beliefs." May also refused to give in, never giving in: "But you are already stubborn now, and Milton will become an empty city. Wait until you all leave What can a woman do? How will a woman support herself? I can keep women and children alive just by taking orders for Marlborough. This is where you grew up, tell me, John , why can't I do it?"

Thornton seemed to know a brand new May again, his eyes were full of disbelief, but he was a little relieved, but he didn't want to admit that he was too excited. At this time, Mrs. Thornton came down from the stairs.

"Okay, okay, you two," Mrs. Thornton held May affectionately: "Men have men's battlefields, women have women's battlefields, and for those orphans and widows, May has indeed done a good thing. John , Mom will help Mei, just like our mother and son depended on each other before."

Mei began to go to the factory with Thornton mother and son. At first she wore her plainest skirt, but within a long time, the skirt turned into a dirty rag.The young girl couldn't wear black like Mrs. Thornton, so she asked Anne to make herself some coarse plaid aprons.

Annie was sewing skirts while complaining. She was familiar with this kind of skirts and made several for herself every year, but she never thought that one day she would make them for her own lady.

In the next two days, when Thornton saw May appearing in the factory in a coarse dress like a girl from an ordinary family, his throat felt a little tight.

Sour, when Mei was in trouble, he thought about taking her out of that golden cage, taking her to see more scenes presented by different worlds, and wanting her to grow up.

Ke Mei really matured, but it made him feel distressed and sad.

During the interval of work, Thornton called May to the office.

Mei happily held a piece of material: "I watched Annie make it last night, and learned a little bit. I used to only embroider handkerchiefs, but I didn't expect that one day I could also make a skirt."

Thornton took the piece of material and threw it on the sofa. He moved his lips and told May with difficulty: "I will leave in two days."

Mei touched his hand, but always smiled: "Then we still have two days."

"I thought you were going to cry, May," Thornton whispered, "I have never seen you cry before, but I always feel that I am worthy of your tears."

"Yes, you are worth it, John, you are worth everything." Mei kissed his face: "When you come back, you can get everything, but not including my tears."

Thornton smiled and nodded her nose: "Tell me, May, why don't you cry?"

"Mary didn't cry when she sent Matthew off, she was still pregnant!" Mei looked at her beloved man with an emotional smile: "John, if this is the end of everything, then I hope you remember me smile. As for my tears, let’s save them for the time when we meet again.”

The author has something to say: it’s roughly happy ending, I’m extremely looking forward to the arrival of the new year, I’m so busy.

Immediately finish and prepare a new article.

七桩

"Miss Welland?"

Mei was walking through the rumbling factory machines when a woman with a child stopped her.

The child blushed, and coughed a few times with his head muffled. Mei frowned lightly, with a little sympathy on his face, and asked the child to go to the back to rest for a while.

The mother wiped her hands on the apron in embarrassment, and said sheepishly, "Miss Welland, the child is very ill. I want her to rest for a while."

If you just asked for leave, you don't need to come and talk to Mei. The meaning of this is actually to keep the job that pays four shillings a week.

Since Milton saw almost no men, Marlborough’s factory took the lead in taking care of the families of the original employees, and the Women’s Aid Association recommended some women who had many children and had difficult family conditions to work for the extra vacancies.Mrs. Thornton allowed a child to be brought in to do the thread-twisting work, if one person could not support the whole family.

So, of course, these poor people cherish this job very much. Although the surrounding factories are also starting sporadically, the warehouse in Marlborough is full of canvas bags, blankets, and field hospital supplies waiting to be shipped. Every week, Jonny arranges for carriages and trains to carry these things to the port.

Now Marlborough was not stingy with Milton's golden job, and it was whispered that Mr. Thornton's luck in getting into the earl's house was whispered.

This was the criticism of nepotism that Thornton wanted to avoid all the time. Mei Wan was very glad that he was far away on the battlefield at the moment and knew nothing about the rumors here.

May's immediate problem was that she had great sympathy for the mother, but there were so many people out there eager for a salary in Marlborough that she could help one, but not the whole town.And letting go of sympathy will put the Thornton family's hard-earned prestige in danger.

This is also the first element Mrs. Thornton warned her when she first took on the inspection mission.

Mei looked at the back of the child running out, bit her lip, and then thought of a compromise: "Do you have any other children in your family? Let her come over to replace her for a while."

The woman was extremely grateful for this answer: "Yes, yes, there is another seven-year-old, I will bring her here tomorrow."

Mei didn't say anything, but felt very uncomfortable.She looked up and found Mrs. Thornton watching her from the second floor.

"May, you did a good job today." Mrs. Thornton told May to sit down: "I know you must be unhappy, and you are not born to do this. When the war is over and John comes back, men's affairs should be left to men." Do it, I'm afraid he doesn't want to see you in trouble."

Mei also agrees with this. Although in the past two years, she has become more confident and brisk in her steps, and her speech has become faster and louder, but once faced with such a difficult problem of sympathy and principle, it can still make her sad for a long time. What to do is very clear: "I know,

I understand that I can give them money directly, but I can't help them for a lifetime. I'm afraid I have made great efforts for Milton, and I try to convince myself not to feel guilty, because a person's ability is limited. "

Mrs. Thornton also agreed: "By the way, May, it is said that Mr. Hockley is back. Do you want to go and see him?"

Karl unexpectedly did not return to the United States. He told his steel magnate father that he wanted to stay and look for opportunities to make war fortune.That's what he did. When May went to the Duke of Grantham for help, Karl was there to help pave the way.Now his new factory in Marlborough, which specializes in clothing, can't make military uniforms, but the orders for tents and logistics clothing are like snowflakes, allowing him to explain to his father.

He is indeed making war money.

In the past two years he has traveled between London and Milton. Since the conclusion of the Frederick Hale case, he has unexpectedly not pursued the victory.After Margaret and her father, Mr. Hale, sent Fred to the battlefield again, they prepared for him to die in battle.

Although Colonel Reed was demoted, the so-called amnesty for ordinary soldiers was well deserved, but this was the best result for the Hale family.

Afterwards Carl stayed in London for a full year, and this time when he came back just in time for Mr. Hale's death, May thought about it and went to Hale's house first.

Margaret had just received a letter from Frederick. Since the war was stalemate in Verdun on the French Western Front at the beginning of the year, Frederick's troops have not moved their positions at all for half a year.The war was extremely tragic, and she had not received several letters in total, and the troop number was different each time.

It is conceivable that Fred survived time and time again and was constantly reorganized, while his former comrades-in-arms have all died in foreign countries.

All Margaret and Fred could do was to pray to God that this bloody battle would end quickly.

This time Fred's letter brought an unexpected news. After reorganizing again, he met John Thornton. If the two could not be killed by the pouring shells within two weeks, the troops would soon be destroyed. Taking over, weary soldiers who had retreated from the trenches were given a chance to rest.

Margaret was going to find May, but May ran to her house unexpectedly.Marlborough is only one street away from Hale's house, because this house was originally the Thornton family's house, and the distance was taken into account when it was built.And Mei is used to this short distance and can walk with her own feet.

"Margaret, Carl is back..."

"May, Frake has met Mr. Thornton..."

The two girls rushed to talk, but both smiled embarrassedly.

In fact, Thornton has been writing letters back, but because of his consistent stubborn personality, he must have reported good news but not bad news.Mei will not expose him, as long as she keeps

A letter is enough to reassure his relatives and fiancee.

"Mr. Thornton must have written to you, but Fred has just rested from the front line, so the letter has been sent first." Margaret handed the letter to May generously: "They will be on vacation soon .”

However, Mei was guessing how Thornton would express his joy of going home for vacation. In the past two years, imagining Thornton's writing letters from those plain words that suppressed strong emotions has become the greatest joy in Mei's life.

But today May also brought good news to Margaret: "Carl is back."

What Carl Hockley did back then was actually beyond everyone's expectations, because according to the idea of ​​a businessman, he should have taken advantage of the good opportunity to work harder, but he was so free and easy, saying goodbye easily and living in London for a year For a long time, there was no trace of playing hard to get.

However, when Margaret finished arranging for her father and came back when she was unaccompanied, people had to feel that he had been paying attention to this girl, but he had never let go. Even Margaret herself could not deceive herself. up.

Maybe he left so simply at that time because he didn't want to appear to be threatening to return the favor.Moreover, a girl with strong self-esteem like Margaret may need more space to think clearly about her own mind.

Margaret hesitated for a long time, fearing that she was too self-indulgent, and then asked May: "Is he at the factory or at home?"

Mei didn't say a word, but took a glance at her expression, then took her hand and said, "Let's try our luck."

After Mr. Hale's death, Mr. Bell took care of the girl who lost her parents because of his old classmates' old feelings and his subtle affection for Margaret.But she has an elder brother anyway, although he may die the next day, Mr. Bell has to avoid suspicion.

He still generously set up a fund for Margaret, and the annual income can afford the basic life of this simple girl.

This is also a gift that Mr. Hale recognized during his lifetime. He was an overly honest father who had no great achievements, so he had the cheek to owe an unclear favor and entrust others to take care of his daughter.

Therefore, as usual, Margaret could occasionally give alms to the poor. She found her usual bread basket and carried it on her shoulders, and went to the factory with May.

Probably it was a fate destined by God, Karl was really in the factory.

As soon as he saw May and Margaret, and the basket in Margaret's hand, he smiled knowingly, to the embarrassment of Margaret, but he said nothing: "Oh, here you are. I was born to work hard, and I will run to the factory as soon as I come back, and I was thanks to you and Mrs. Thornton before."

Carl talked to May affectionately for a long time before he acted as if he had just noticed Margaret: "Ah, Miss Hale, hello, what a coincidence! Are you here to distribute bread?"

Margaret wished she was staying at home, and was not tempted to see this bad-mouthed man.

"We're here to distribute the bread." May glared at Carl and took Margaret's basket: "I'm going down, I'll be back in a while."

The door was gently closed, and Carl looked at the girl standing stiffly beside him, and first broke the silence: "Miss Hale, it's not easy to live alone, and this battle won't be over for a while, I think you Why don't you go back to the south, the country house will help you calm your nerves."

Margaret really wondered if this man came back specially to chase him away?She retorted: "It's my own life, I make my own decisions."

Karl seemed to have expected her reaction and didn't want to pay attention to her, but that
