[Comprehensive] The daily life of Miss Downton Fourth
Chapter 57 Big Event
When Cynthia left Downton, many big events happened in the manor.
Sipper held back a lot of words and wanted to share them with Cynthia, but she didn't expect that she would go back to London to go to school directly after returning from the United States.Knowing the news, Sipper almost jumped in disappointment, and later wrote her five large sheets of letter paper and sent them out.
Robert saw the thick letter and teased Sippel, as if he was still nine years old and chatted endlessly with his sister so much that he cried and refused to sleep.They have been separated for such a short time, do they really have so much to write?
Sipper ignored Robert.Of the four of them, Mary really struggled to be the heir, and Edith always liked being compared to Mary.Compared with them, Sipper and Cynthia are still closer in age and can chat better.
From childhood to adulthood, among Cynthia and Sipper, in fact, Cynthia is not like a little sister, but more like an older sister.She always stood in front of Sipper, and when Sipper was still hesitating whether to tell his family that he didn't like the governess, Cynthia had made him resign automatically.
He said that he left home immediately after going to college, and he didn't seem to worry about how to live in school alone.Sippel is also thinking about going to college recently. Cynthia is right, this is the twentieth century.
Women will not always be happy because of their identities as wives and daughters. The real value should be found by themselves.
On the other hand, Cynthia, who was at school, opened the slightly thick envelope in her hand, and Sipper wrote in detail about their changes after Matthew arrived in Downton Abbey.
Matthew inevitably has a crush on Mary, which is quite normal, and few men are indifferent to Mary.These are Sipper's words.
It's a pity that Mary doesn't like Matthew's identity, she is keen on someone who can better match her identity.Sipper also mentioned that one of Mary's suitors came to Downton as a guest, and that person brought a good-looking Turkish diplomat with him.
The scene of the three surrounding Mary is simply a classic, compared to the proud Mary.Their second sister, Edith, was much darker. I heard that she took the initiative to invite Matthew to visit the churches around Downton, but it was a pity that everyone knew about it.
Seeing this, Cynthia couldn't help sighing, Edith actually didn't need to do this at all.The experience of failing again and again made him very frustrated. If she could see a little more openly and do something else, maybe her life would start in another direction.
Modern women can choose a career without love, but there are too many limitations for women here.It is impossible for Edith to find a job that goes to work every day, and her daily life is so boring, which makes her character more and more self-pitying.
It was a surprise that Sipper later said that the handsome diplomat had died of a heart attack in Downton.No one expected such a thing to happen. Downton Abbey is really a disaster.
In the past two years, Downton has had accidents with outsiders one after another. Fortunately, this was really an accident.Otherwise, every time the group of nobles dined at Downton, they would wonder if they would be the next one.
Sipper concluded her letter by mentioning what she had recently heard about the feminist movement, and how she felt women should be given the right to vote.Those people who spoke out about it were brave, and she was very interested in these things.
But Robert obviously didn't want his daughter to be involved in such a political event, which troubled Sippel.Sippel mentioned that she also wanted to leave Downton to study at a university or something. The role of tutors was too limited, and she wanted to see a wider world.
Cynthia spent a long time reading Hippel's letter, and then wrote her a letter in earnest.
First, she agreed with Sipper's idea of continuing to study, and Cynthia persuaded Sipper to make a good choice of the direction of study.In addition to the feminist movement, Cynthia certainly supports women's suffrage, but now their rallies are rarely peaceful.
"I have absolutely no objection to your support of this statement, because I am also a member of the support. But if you go to those rallies, I will be very concerned about your safety. It is chaotic and no one cares which side you are on .Siepper, I don't want the next time I hear from you to be arrested or beaten up by angry people."
"There are thousands of ways to support, and the fight for women's rights must start at home. Dad, he always insists on some ideas stubbornly. How about changing him first? We can take turns instilling some new century things in him, Tell him it's not a woman's job to marry and raise children."
As she wrote this, Cynthia drew her short hair with the back of a pen.Yes, she had cut her long curly hair when she returned to London, and the short curly hair made Cynthia's face even smaller.
Robert and the others haven't seen her new look yet, and they should be surprised when they come to London for the social season.But like she said, Robert always acted like an old-fashioned patriarch.
Cora, who is from the United States and believes in democracy, has not been able to change him for 20 years. It can be seen that the influence of his childhood education is deeply rooted.Anything unconventional surprised Robert, and he was still immersed in the era when there were more than 20 people dining in a big house at random.
But it doesn't matter, the gears of time will always push him forward.The aristocratic system will eventually decline, and the big houses in London and even the suburbs will become apartments and shopping malls.
Except for the correspondence with Sipper, Cynthia's life suddenly became regular and peaceful.The days at school were so easy, and so fast, that Cynthia almost forgot that it was time for social season to begin.
This year is the year when Sipper officially stepped into the social world, and the Crawley family is destined to be busy in this social season.Cynthia is definitely going back to live in Grantham Mansion in London, after all, this is one of the most important days for Hippel.
For Sipper's coming-of-age ceremony, the family bought her a haute couture gown.The price of this dress is almost two years' wages of an ordinary maid, even for people here in Crowley, this kind of high-end dress is not something that can be bought casually.
In addition to the installation fee, there is also the cost of hosting a grand dinner.This time, even Mrs. Patmore, the cook, came to London with them, just to make the ball perfect.
Cynthia watched Sippel being led around by Cora and the others, and had no time to think about school matters.She is also happy to relax and enjoy the holiday.
After leaving school and socializing, Cynthia heard the news about Mary.There were rumors that the Turkish diplomat who died in Downton had a close relationship with Mary, and this kind of rumor immediately made Cynthia unable to lie down.
She didn't really see the handsome diplomat in the legend, but this person is dead, why is it not over yet.If Mary's reputation in the social world is ruined, she may be so angry that she vomits blood.
Cynthia would not let the rumor hurt her sister, and immediately went out to investigate the source of the rumor, whether the other party deliberately framed her or really caught something.In the end, she went out and went around, and found the source. To Cynthia's surprise, it turned out to be someone from Downton.
She took the letter and broke into Edith's room directly. The anger that Cynthia had endured along the way erupted like a volcano at this moment.
"Edith, it was you who wrote to the Turkish embassy about Mary and the master. Why did you do this? Isn't Mary your sister but your enemy?"
Seeing the situation, the maid who was pushing the door and planning to come in for cleaning didn't know whether to go in or not. Cynthia was like a raging lion cub now.
"Go out and tell Daisy Thomas and O'Brien to wait in the reception room."
Cynthia closed the door with a bang, and sat on a chair waiting for Edith's explanation.
Edith glanced at the letter, not expecting to be exposed so quickly.
She held her wrist, "If Mary hadn't done that, she wouldn't have been stabbed."
Cynthia was so angry that she laughed instead.His eyes were stained with anger, "Do you really think that what I care about is the truth? Even if Mary did it, so what. What makes me angry is that it was her own sister who stabbed her."
"Edith, we are sisters with the same blood. When Mom and Dad leave this world, only we will miss them together. You treat Mary like this because of Sir Anthony. According to Mary's personality, she will definitely fight back. Don't you Do you want to die forever?"
Edith raised her head and said stubbornly: "Yes, Sir Anthony is old and ugly, and you have no shortage of suitors who look down on him. I do! I have no choice, and Mary just made a move because of my sarcasm." To hook up with Sir Anthony, I admit that I don't have her beauty or charm. In this way, I can only hold on to Sir Anthony, and she doesn't like it, why should I snatch it away?"
"Then do you really love Sir Anthony? Or is it just because of his status, just because he might marry you? Edith, you don't have to do this. You are no worse than others, and you will always meet the right person."
Edith grabbed the perfume on the table and slammed it on Cynthia's feet: "Don't stand there and say that easily, what do you know? Is Mary right? Why should I swallow my anger? "
The overly strong aroma spread in the room, and Cynthia felt a layer of bitterness in her heart when she saw Edith, who hadn't felt that she was wrong until now.
"Of course she was wrong. Mary always felt that there was no one she couldn't get. Because of your provocation, she was impulsive to prove herself. Is it ruthless and unjust? You two have developed a petty fight between sisters into a In this way, it is really worthy of the guidance of the tutors all these years to still be entangled in who is wrong."
As soon as Cynthia finished speaking, there was the sound of Mary gnashing her teeth behind her.
"It's very good, very good. Look at my dear sisters, one sister who wrote a letter to report her, and one who secretly thinks that her sister is a vexatious and immoral person."
What the hell kind of scene is this, Cynthia felt her temples throbbing.
Sipper held back a lot of words and wanted to share them with Cynthia, but she didn't expect that she would go back to London to go to school directly after returning from the United States.Knowing the news, Sipper almost jumped in disappointment, and later wrote her five large sheets of letter paper and sent them out.
