[Comprehensive Book] A Rose for Catherine

Catherine heard the name he exclaimed subconsciously, and couldn't help but grasp the handrail of the stairs beside her, frowning: "Do you know me?"

The young man realized his impoliteness, and quickly bowed to her to complete the meeting etiquette, "Please forgive my rashness, I am just a trivial reader of yours. I like your books very much, and I love every one of your books. Bought a dozen sets, your book has given me many life lessons. My sister was invited to attend the salon held by Miss Fitzroy and had the honor of meeting you. So I begged her to draw you Your appearance——Please be careful, I did not pass on your portrait privately, only I have seen it. This is to avoid that when God sends me the opportunity to meet you one day, I can only I missed it in vain. I didn't expect the opportunity to come so quickly!"

He hurriedly explained to Catherine.

He was very young, a half-grown child, probably about Lydia's age, and was not yet well versed in many ways of the world, and he made himself clear at once when Catherine asked him.

It was the first time Catherine met someone who expressed her love for her works so bluntly, so she couldn't help but curiously asked him what kind of life inspiration he got.

As a result, Catherine found that the life lesson he got from his book was to run away from home.

Catherine was silent for a moment, raised a smile and listened to him talk about his experience upside down.

It turned out that in addition to reading Catherine's books, he was also a loyal fan of knight novels.After reading Catherine's book, he thinks that he should not be a mediocre and stupid nobleman who inherits the family business all his life. He should get rid of the shackles of the family and pursue a free and wonderful life that really belongs to him.Just as soon as it echoed the knight novels he had read, he left a letter and ran away from home on his own horse.

Nominally traveling the world.

Catherine was vaguely aware that Lydia was far less naughty than this man.She thought of Mary again, and then shook her head. After all, Mary set off after smoothing out all the troubles.

She nodded awkwardly but politely at the young man, and the young man expressed his gratitude to Catherine again after speaking.

"It is your works that have pointed out the path of life for me. Please rest assured that I will be responsible for any decisions I make, and I am not impulsive."

The other party said to her sincerely.

Catherine felt that the other party respected her as an elder.

But she is not there yet!God!

Fortunately, the other party did not continue to confide in her. After once again expressing the joy of unexpectedly meeting her here, he announced loudly that he decided to stay in Dangville for a few days.I hope that when I have time, I can discuss literature and life ideals with Catherine.

After the other party left, Catherine let out a long breath, "Kately, when you were 15 years old, did you dream of going outside for adventure?"

She refrained from using the word "run away from home".

Catherine found it difficult for her to understand the minds of these children.Obviously she is not a few years older than the other party.

"If you mean adventures within sixteen miles of home, I'm afraid I have often."

Knightley smiled.

Catherine smiled unconsciously.

She understood what Knightley meant. The distance from this village to London was less than sixteen miles. The young man's family was in London. It was not too much for a boy of fifteen or sixteen to go not too far from his home. Behavior—if the "adventurer" hadn't escaped from school, but that's not known.

"However, he made me realize one thing—before we have the ability to correctly judge the environment we are in, the content of books can easily affect and shape our consciousness. In many cases, words are powerful weapons. .device."

Catherine thought of all the revelations he said she got from the book and said.

After a few days, young people always ran to Donville Manor, which greatly reduced the time for Catherine and Knightley to walk and chat.Lydia ran out every three days, and often shared anecdotes with Catherine at night. She was completely unaware that there was an extra person in Catherine's life, but Knightley, who could only return to the British law in her spare time, was very impressed. This is deeply touching.

After breakfast that day, Knightley finished reading the newspaper of the day, and couldn't help turning his eyes to Catherine who was sitting at the table writing, and asked her: "Kitty, you seem to admire Mr. Fred?"

Fred was the young man's name.

Catherine turned over a manuscript and responded to Knightley: "He is a very thoughtful and interesting person. Getting along with him sometimes gives me some unexpected inspiration."

Contrary to what Catherine thought at the beginning, the young man has a wide range of knowledge. It is said that he traveled with his mother to the European continent when he was a child, and his vision was broad.And because my family is rich, I have read many books that are difficult for others to see. Although I can't read complicated books, I have read a lot of interesting miscellaneous books.His ideal in life is to become an adventurous knight who saves the people, so he talked to Catherine about witches, gods, devils and nobles, and taught her a lot of knowledge that she had never been exposed to.

"Then you must have made a new friend."

Catherine focused most of her attention on her own writing. She wrote to the key points, and didn't notice the faintly weird tone in this sentence. She nodded in agreement with Knightley, "Maybe, he is really very interesting."

She heard no more of Knightley's voice.Catherine continued to write at the table, guessing that he had gone to deal with things.

Knightley sat where he could see Catherine and reread the newspaper in his hand.

The next morning, Catherine found a long-lost new note on the desk.The handwriting was undoubtedly that of Mr. Knightley.

On the note were some daily greetings and a little anecdote that happened yesterday at his farm.After reading it, Catherine clipped the note into the pages of the book and flattened it. She couldn't help humming half a Scottish ditty softly in a good mood, and wrote a reply to him.

For the next week, she would receive a short note every morning, the content on the paper came and went, and sometimes it was a long letter.It seems to have returned to the time when the two exchanged letters at the beginning.

Catherine found this way of communication quite interesting, but it felt different than the previous correspondence. "...But I still haven't figured it out. When did you take the reply? Knightley, please don't tell me that God sent the letter to you..."

The young man was still busy running to Donwell Manor, and would praise Catherine's works every time he appeared, expressing that he would be satisfied if he could write a story half as good as Catherine's.

Knightley immediately said: "In that case, why don't you take the initiative to try it? Your interesting adventures are enough to make a wonderful work."

As soon as the young man clapped his hands, he jumped up from the chair, thinking it was a brilliant idea, and immediately picked up a pen to describe his masterpiece after returning.

He immersed himself in writing for a few days, fantasizing that he would become famous with a book, and he and his admired "Lyan Appleton" were collectively called "Literary Double Walls", and he did not come to provoke Catherine again.

This continued, to the satisfaction of all, until the day of Donville's ball.
