Downton Abbey for your happiness
Chapter 8 Trip to London
Mr. Carlson Winston was a strong, energetic gentleman, taller than Mr. Spencer, also brown-haired, and most peculiar were his shrewd eyes. A military officer is more appropriate, but when he speaks, you know he is a standard diplomat, because he speaks softly and politely, so that you don't notice anything wrong, but treat his nephew , there is a lot of intimacy and enthusiasm in addition to politeness, it can be seen that the relationship between the two is really good.This was the first thing Thomas felt when he met Mr. Spencer's uncle.
"Is this your personal attendant?" Seeing Thomas behind his nephew, Mr. Winston asked knowingly.
"Yes, uncle, he is actually the servant of the Earl of Grantham, and you know me too. I asked him to accompany me on this trip."
"Of course, I just said that you never liked to hire these servants and helpers before."
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the heart. Mr. Winston's words made Thomas feel a little joy. Does this mean that he is special to Mr. Spencer?
"Tell me, you don't come to London just to see me, an old man, do you?"
"Of course it's more important to come to see me." Mrs. Winston said proudly. She is a beautiful and elegant middle-aged woman, provided that she is not allowed to speak. Mr. Winston took a sip of his cigar helplessly , How could he have been deceived by this appearance back then?
"That's natural. I haven't seen you for a long time, and my aunt seems to be getting younger and younger. It seems that you have fully adapted to life in London, and you are like a British lady." John's praise for this aunt was free.
Sure enough, Mrs. Winston was overjoyed: "Of course, I think I must not lose face to the Nemours family, let alone lose to those British ladies." After thinking about it, she said, "John, you I know that Duke Olivier of London will hold a banquet in two days, and there will be many famous daughters at that time..."
"Auntie, I just came to England!" John complained with a headache, "Forgive me, I think this opportunity is very suitable for my second cousin, and I won't be unattractive."
Mrs. Winston rolled her eyes: "If I can order the ground to move, he doesn't need to talk about you. I don't worry about one or two."
John winked at his uncle, Mr. Winston turned his back to Mrs. Winston, showed him a sympathetic expression, and changed the subject: "John, how long are you going to stay in London?"
"Yes, John, you must stay longer and try my aunt's French food. These English dishes are terrible. God must have forgotten to add seasoning when he created them!"
Even Thomas couldn't hold back the remark, and hid his smile with a light cough. Mr. Winston pretended not to hear it. Anyway, his wife has been outspoken for a day or two. Fortunately, she never said anything about major matters. fault.
"Okay, Auntie, I used to think of your French food when I was in America. It's really mouth-watering. That's why I came to England."
Mrs. Winston was even more pleased when she was coaxed, and she refused to let John go easily: "Look at you, this dress is too casual, how does your personal attendant take care of you?"
Thomas was suddenly called on, panicked, and hurried to speak, but John spoke first: "Don't blame Thomas, I want to dress like this."
John's words really made Mrs. Winston give up pursuing Thomas, and instead said: "Then you really need to make more clothes, John."
"I'm here this time to order a coat."
"One piece is not enough! More than a dozen pieces are not enough to make up for your appearance. When you were young, why did you always dress like your uncle! Tomorrow you will choose styles with me. I see..."
After all, Mrs. Winston didn't stop her words. The other party spilled the overflowing maternal love caused by her son's absence all year round on John. Mr. Winston was also shot while lying down, so he had to have another cigar, but in the end he was also shot. Mrs Winston called it off on health grounds.
At dinner, Mrs. Winston really did it herself, um, she directed the cook to cook a table of French dishes and desserts.So John just went in one ear and out the other, and glanced at Thomas from time to time, and found that Thomas was looking at the table with a slightly envious look, but trying not to look sideways.
So John didn't have the desire to continue eating, let Thomas go upstairs first, took some coconut puffs, crepes, a plate of foie gras and red wine, and hurried upstairs, his ears were finally quiet, although he I like my aunt very much, but I really keep a respectful distance from her nagging her.After arriving in the room, Thomas had already packed all the luggage. John was not a person who cared about these details, but he still boasted, "That's right, it's very tidy."
"Thank you for your compliment, Mr. Spencer." John thought Thomas would be happy, but the other party didn't show any expression. Isn't it good in the morning?Could it be that something they had said this afternoon had offended Thomas?John tried to think back, but his aunt's words were all in his mind, and he couldn't figure it out, so he asked, "Thomas, is there anything you are unhappy about?"
"No, sir." Thomas lowered his eyes, not daring to look at each other.
"I'm not a fool, and I can tell if a person is happy." John pretended to be angry, pulled Thomas over and pressed the other's shoulders, and let him sit on the bed, "I tell you to sit as long as you want, and you are not allowed to get up. Then tell me Why are you not happy."
Thomas was struggling, and it took him a long time to ask in a low voice: "Why don't you attend Mr. Duke's banquet, it seems like a good opportunity."
John smiled. It turned out that he was jealous. He looked very coaxed. He rolled his eyes and said deliberately: "So you are worried that I won't find a wife?"
"No, no, an excellent person like you doesn't have to worry at all, there will be many ladies..." Thomas said with difficulty, he didn't finish, but John didn't want him to talk any more, that made him feel very distressed.
"Just kidding, I don't want to marry those boring noble ladies." John ate a piece of crepe, looked at Thomas again, well, his expression was much better, and said, "Take some of my aunt's handicrafts, make sure you are here You can't eat it anywhere else."
"I……"
"Don't say you don't want to eat it, the servant's meal is not so delicious." John joked, afraid that the other party would have other ideas, so he moved a chair, and the two of them ate and chatted face to face.John told Thomas an interesting story about his life in France with his aunt.
Finally, Thomas went back to his room after having a good meal.Too many things happened today, which made his previous shrewd brain not enough, but in general he is very happy, yes, it is the first time in his life that he has experienced the feeling of the word happiness, no wonder some people would pursue it for the sake of happy and give up everything.Maybe in the future it will be possible to be Mr. Spencer's personal valet all the time, so that he can always get such care and consideration, that's good, Thomas told himself, that's good.
The author has something to say:
Many people are concerned about the update issue. Ari can understand everyone's feelings, because I am also in a few pits, but I do have to work, and I will try my best to find time to write
