[Comprehensive] The daily life of Miss Downton Fourth

At ten o'clock at night, every mansion on both sides of the streets of London is brightly lit.In this season, the music will continue until dawn, and no host will drive away the guests with the excuse that I am going to rest and you go.

Those nobles seem to be able to dance all night without getting tired, and of course the same is true of Grantham's old house tonight.After Cynthia danced the fourth dance tonight, she chose to temporarily go to the side to eat something to replenish her energy.

Mary walked over to her with a glass of wine from the side. Today's Mary is still dazzling, and the cream-colored embroidered evening dress is exquisite and also adds a bit of tenderness to her.

To be honest, the always strong young lady seems to be far from the word gentle and considerate. Sure enough, she completely destroyed the temperament brought by this dress as soon as she opened her mouth.

"Don't you think you can choose a few more dance partners for yourself? Mr. Holmes, he can barely be said to be excellent, but it seems that there are no heroes in his family."

This meant that the other party didn't even have a title, and Cynthia's marriage directly lost her noble status.

If her words were placed two years ago, Cynthia would definitely have opened up directly.She married a person, not a family, so there is no need to investigate whether the five generations above her have participated in various famous British battles.

Now Cynthia is much calmer. She has met all kinds of people in the past two years, and Mary is not among the top five difficult people she knows.BTW, Sherlock is number one.

"We are still getting to know each other, he is not my fiancé yet."

"We don't call it boyfriend. If you didn't take it seriously, there was no way he would have come to the dinner yesterday."

Cynthia: ...Then you already know that you still speak ill of him in front of me, do you think our relationship is too good?

Just when Cynthia was speechless, Edith also came over.Her partner for tonight is still on the loose, but she seems less anxious.

"Congratulations, Mr. Holmes has never left his eyes on you. When you danced with Mr. Willis, he almost stared at Mr. Willis."

Cynthia raised her eyebrows, then she should be glad that the other party just stared and didn't step forward to reveal the address of the other party's fourth lover.

"I read those magazines, and they are very popular in hospitals. So are your articles, and they all say they are very well written."

Edith pursed her lips and smiled, she was not ecstatic because of the praise, "Maybe my emotions have been released in writing, which have been ignored and suppressed by me before. But after I actually wrote it, I realized that they are actually Then it's not worth mentioning."

Cynthia looked at the sad Edith and suddenly remembered the words of the psychologist Adler: we all have different degrees of inferiority complex in adolescence, because we want to be better and let ourselves live a better life.

The same is true of herself, eager to prove herself to people in this society, hoping to be recognized by others.Of course there is nothing wrong with this, maybe the process is a little hard, but they will eventually find the path that suits them.Just like the cold treatment Edith suffered in the marriage market, didn't she gain recognition in writing.

Cynthia said with a smile: "Going out is a good thing, isn't it? Downton is very big, but the outside world is bigger."

Mary frowned, and looked out of the window thoughtfully.Of course, she didn't want to really go out to find a job or something. Mary just saw that several younger sisters seemed to be in contact with other people in society.And her social circle is still specific people, as if only she was left in place.

The protagonist of this banquet was Cynthia. Of course, she couldn't stand by and chat with her two sisters all the time.When Matthew asked her to dance, Cynthia felt that she had enough rest and readily agreed.

The two blended into the other dancers, and Matthew lost track of the music a few times, which didn't seem like something he could do.Although he was a middle-class lawyer before, but his thinking is still a conservative who adheres to the theory of a gentleman. It is not his style to treat a lady coldly like this.

"I decided to propose to Mary. I just don't think it can be delayed. I want to get an accurate answer, if, if she refuses. I want to leave Downton for a while."

Cynthia had foreseen the marriage proposal, after all, it was impossible for the two of them to be in an affair all the time.It is impossible to wait for Mary to speak up about this matter, so Matthew can only take this step first.It's just that it's a bit unmannered to leave Downton after refusing, and it's a bit embarrassing to meet, but Matthew is not only Mary's admirer, but also Downton's heir.

Robert must have been very sad when this happened.

"Is it a coward's act to leave Downton directly? Robert has been teaching you about the manor himself, and other people have always welcomed you and Isabel's cousin."

Matthew didn't mind Cynthia saying that about himself. He remembered the old lady's straightforward hope that he could help Mary obtain the right of inheritance.

"Maybe not everyone welcomes me. After all, my arrival has destroyed Mary's inheritance rights. And I don't want to force Mary to marry me as the heir of Downton. How I hope she really likes me."

Mary's character, if there is really nothing attractive about Matthew, it is impossible for her to be tempted just because the other party can inherit Downton.What Mary was hesitating about was probably the Turkish ambassador.

It was impossible for Cynthia to mention that to Matthew. Only Mary could choose whether to tell him or not, so she could only send her blessings.

"Then I hope your proposal will be successful."

After talking about the secret, Matthew didn't continue to be absent-minded.As soon as he relaxed, someone's gaze could no longer be ignored, and Matthew felt that his hand on Cynthia's waist was about to be pierced.

He smiled wryly: "Today is a grown-up dance party for you. Have all the men who danced with you been treated like this?"

Cynthia naturally knew what Matthew was referring to, she got stuck in embarrassment, and really didn't know how to answer.He could only stare at Sherlock while turning around, and believed that Sherlock, who had extremely good eyes, would see it.

Sure enough, Sherlock calmed down a lot after this, he lowered his head and fiddled with the decorations beside the table a little bored, and was analyzing the dead and miserable male corpse he saw during the day in his mind.

"You take Cynthia too closely, and she won't get used to it."

Sippel in a blue dress walked up to Sherlock, "Mind if I sit down?"

"I thought this was your home, you could choose to sit anywhere."

Hippel was not at all offended by his words, Holmes' character was well known.From this point of view, he would not treat her family affectionately because of Cynthia's relationship. Only Cynthia Crowley was special to him, not others.

"Cynthia has always been the more mature one between us. She always makes all her own decisions. Including you, none of us knew her relationship with you before that. I'm not saying it's bad, just as a sister, I don’t seem to be able to give her any advice, she’s always been there to help me.”

Sherlock is not very clear about the relationship between sisters in a normal family, after all, his family is quite special.Mycroft has satirized his IQ for as long as he can remember, and his sister doesn't mention it.

He has never experienced something like I help you cover up a prank today, and help me lie to my parents tomorrow.It's good for those two people not to hinder Sherlock, so now he can't understand where Sipper's lost point is.

But this does not prevent Sherlock from proposing a solution, "Maybe you can tell Cynthia directly that concealment is the worst solution. Presumably Cynthia is still willing to discuss with you the style of the wedding dress and the flower pattern of the veil."

Sippel asked in disbelief: "Have you proposed to Cynthia? But she didn't mention it yesterday."

Sherlock didn't deny it. Of course, he couldn't directly say that he did mention it once, but Cynthia refused.The reason she gave was that she felt that she was still young and married too early. It would be a horrible thing to think about living a married life for the next 60 years.

Regardless of the facts, Sherlock looked super confident: "Sooner or later."

The pure Sipper really believed it. It is a bit early to get married before the age of 20, but as long as Cynthia is happy, she will send her most sincere blessings.

"Sippel, the men over there are almost dying, don't you really want to dance with them?"

Harold never embellished his words, and his straightforwardness was a bit like his mother.After Sipper left, Brother Harold put his arms around Sherlock's shoulders.

"Come, come, let's have a contest between men. Cynthia is my favorite niece. I may never get married in this life. She is also my daughter after rounding up. Let's finish drinking these bottles of wine tonight , have a good talk."

Sherlock glanced at the bottles of wine in Harold's hand, and quickly analyzed how much he could take.If it was low-alcohol beer or champagne, he might be able to drink a few bottles, but Harold had high-alcohol beer in his hands.The other party obviously wanted to hear him tell the truth after drinking, or would he pretend to be drunk when he drank the fourth cup?

Harold also knew that it was not good to get Sherlock drunk on such an occasion, and what he was holding was just to scare the other party.As an uncle, he really didn't expect that when he came to attend his niece's coming-of-age ceremony, he would also meet a niece and son-in-law.

Cynthia is good, the other party is definitely a beast and doesn't explain, Harold selectively ignores the fact that one of his ex-girlfriends is younger than the other.

The banquet lasted until five o'clock in the morning. When Cynthia saw Sherlock who was being supported by a servant to stand up, she almost bent over laughing.

"I'll help him, you go to the door to see if the car is coming."

When the servant left, Sherlock, who was still unsteady just now, opened his eyes, and most of the drunkenness on his face obviously disappeared.

"Your uncle is not easy to deal with, won't you give me a reward? You ignored me at least 26 times today."

Cynthia was speechless for a moment, and she didn't know how he calculated such detailed data.

"Go by yourself if you are not drunk, my feet are almost broken, and I still have to support you."

Sherlock leaned forward and kissed her on the cheek before accepting the gift himself.For the sake of her weak and pitiful feet, she walked out of the door by herself.

The guests who were about to leave in front were still waiting for their own guests, but the people behind suddenly slowed down.Sherlock was not in a hurry, and stood side by side with Cynthia.

The temperature outside was not high at five o'clock in the morning, and Sherlock put the thick coat that the waiter had just handed over Cynthia.

The old house in Grantham behind them was still lit with all the lights, in stark contrast to the deserted street outside.

Cynthia leaned on Sherlock, thinking in a daze: life is also like a dance, the first person to dance with you may not be able to accompany you to the end.When the bell of dawn rang, everything returned to its original appearance, leaving only lonely people.

Fortunately, she still has Sherlock, and someone waiting for her in the house.The confusion and hesitation that came here at the beginning are now filled by them.

She choked up and said: "I seem to have forgotten to tell them that I love them very much. My birthday wish has always been for them to be safe and happy."

Here they not only refer to the family members here, but also Cynthia’s previous family members.

Sherlock bowed his head and kissed the forehead of the person in his arms, and comforted him: "They all know that they also want you to be happy. Also, remind me, you never told me that I love you."

Cynthia suppressed the tears she was about to shed, and angrily took off her coat and put it on Sherlock.

"Your car is here, go back quickly. There will be no more banquets, and you can deal with your case at ease."

Before Cynthia could turn around, Sherlock held her back.

"Well, it's okay if I say it first. I love you, Cynthia, and I will always be by your side in the days to come."

Cynthia saw herself through gray eyes that were nearly covered by windblown curls.

"Even if the case requires you to go to the Amazon rainforest?"

Sherlock was also choked, and he pinched Cynthia's earlobe helplessly.

"If you want to be put in a suitcase, that's fine too."

Cynthia just said this briefly, and after sending him to the car, she sighed in her heart: Maybe now is the best moment, family, friends and lover, what more can she ask for?
