[Sense and Sensibility] Worth having

That's right, there was only one kite floating alone in the clear blue sky at this time.Christo was sure that this was Margaret's kite, and the other two kites she had seen before had already fallen.

"Oh, that's Willoughby taking Marian far away to fly a kite. What an extraordinary relationship they have!" said Mrs. Jennings, winking, and then bursting into laughter.

Her actions strengthened Christo's determination to maintain courtesy with the Colonel.She didn't want to be laughed at by others like Marianne in the end!Even in the countryside, it is very rude to leave with your male companion in such a quiet way. It seems that Marianne's love has made her lose her basic understanding of etiquette, but your behavior is also seen by others Those who are here should be warned.

The colonel handed over a drink, and Chris nodded and took it.Such an ordinary interaction has added a layer of ambiguity in everyone's eyes.Fortunately, everyone knew that Colonel Brandon had a thin skin, and no one made fun of it.

"Christopher!" Margaret ran over quickly from a distance, with crystal sweat dripping from her forehead, it seemed that she was very involved in the game. "Why did you come here, let me tell you, the feeling of flying a kite is really good!"

"If you like it, you can play again in the future. Don't concentrate on exercising in one day, as it will easily cause muscle soreness." Christo looked behind Margaret: "Where's Eleanor?"

"I ran faster, she might be behind." Margaret finished briskly, and ran to the side to find a maid for a drink.

Then there was another strange scene, everyone faced the sun in silence, and chatted in the shade of the trees, just to wait for Willoughby and Marianne to arrive late.Soon Elinor also came back, and she sat beside Mrs. Dashwood, not talking much, but enjoying lunch instead.

Everyone waited until about two o'clock in the afternoon, and they wanted to use up all the things they brought out. Mrs. Jennings's nap habit made her yawn, and Mrs. Dashwood's face sank, but in the end she had to announce the announcement. The end of the banquet.

After bidding farewell to Mrs. Jennings's family, Christo also saluted and bid farewell to the colonel, and finished everything in a regular manner.They returned home.Sitting on the fairly soft sofa, Chris breathed a sigh of relief. Flying a kite is not a physical activity. She mainly spent her energy on thinking about how to help the colonel find his adopted daughter.

She has to figure out how many contacts she still has in London these years, and how many are available. Besides those little sisters, she receives many boxes of letters from readers every year. If a girl receives so many letters from men, It can be said to be sensational, so Christo just found some high-quality letters from the client and carefully smuggled to Nolan Manor.

She was fairly careful in her work, and did not restore these letters, but the gentlemen who mentioned them in the published newspapers had shown that they had read some of them.These letters gave her a lot of inspiration and inspiration, and of course accumulated invisible wealth for her.

Now is the time to use it all.The social season in London is almost here.Mrs. Jennings also mentioned today that she would take the Dashwood girls to London to socialize and help them set up a bright future.Christo thinks that it is not a bad thing to be outstanding in the social season, at least it can let everyone remember that there is a character like yourself. After all, it is not something to brag about if a girl is not famous even when she is young. , Young people, always have to enjoy the joy of socializing.

Although Christo couldn't wait to go back to her room, take a shower, and then enjoy a perfect afternoon nap "Christopher, tell me what's going on with you today!" Mrs. Dashwood put down her gloves and said sternly asked.

"Me? What's wrong with me." Christo straightened her body, making herself appear to be sitting upright, so as not to be criticized again in this regard.

Mrs. Dashwood's tone slowed down a little. She realized that if her reaction was too violent, it would make Christo rebound, "You and Colonel Brandon are not very suitable. I want to know, what do you think? of."

"I don't think there is any problem. Colonel Blanton is very good. If possible, after the normal relationship, there will be an engagement process. What's there to think about." It showed that if he was vague at this time, it would not be of any benefit to himself and Colonel Brandon.Many misunderstandings and filth are produced at this time.

"The colonel is already 35 years old. You, do you think this age gap is appropriate! He is not a few years younger than your mother!"

"So you can think that he has half a leg into the coffin? Mother, what kind of logic is this, I don't think Willoughby is better than Colonel Brandon, not to mention, I think the Colonel and I are very suitable, isn't that enough?" ?”

"Your words are based on the premise of comparing with Marianne. Oh, my Christo, I haven't talked to you very much, and I don't know much about your inner world. On this point, mother really It's ignoring you, but you can't just choose someone who...is not suitable for you just because you want to compare with Marian."

"I'm not comparing." Christo was a little angry, but this anger was only a sign, and she suppressed it. She understands that the most important thing for her now is to convince her mother and reduce the obstacles to her future. .

"It's just that you don't realize that you are comparing yourself!" Mrs. Dashwood seemed more angry than Chris: "Although Marianne's things are a bit beyond the scope of etiquette, the relationship between her and Willoughby is based on There, at least there will be a good ending, if you mess up like this now, you will only make it ugly if you regret it in the future!" She eased her tone, and persuaded gently: "I am your mother, do you think I am your mother? Is it something that will be unfavorable to you? From the perspective of the elders, I think you'd better not be coaxed by Mrs. Jennings' booing for a while!"

"I won't do this!" Chris pursed her lips, which made her look a little stubborn, "I don't think Marianne and Willoughby will be happier together than me and the colonel. Mr. Willoughby does He is a gentleman, but he is not involved in production. I have never heard of a man who has research in literature can be equivalent to his ability. Shouldn’t a man have his own property and be able to support his wife and children independently, just like —like our father, isn't it?"

Mrs. Dashwood's brief aphasia was of course due to Christo's last rhetorical question. She waved her hands in frustration, clearly showing her lack of support for her daughter.

Christo added a few more words, "After a failure in love, the colonel will cherish this time even more. He is mature enough and tolerant enough. How can I be unhappy with him?"

Maybe it was her determination that moved Mrs. Dashwood, or maybe the natures of mother and daughter were wonderfully connected at this moment. In short, Mrs. Dashwood waved her hand discouragedly, which seemed to be a compromise.

Christo smiled. She felt that this short debate was like a huge battle. Now she was a little exhausted. Thinking about going back to her room, she still had to write a lot of letters to send to London. She felt a headache.But this is indeed a great opportunity to establish a good relationship with Colonel Brandon's adopted daughter.

Mrs. Dashwood was still sitting on the sofa at this time, and she still had to wait for Marianne to have a good talk with her about her eccentricity today, and ask her about her relationship with Willoughby by the way.Although Eleanor and Margaret were on the second floor, they must have heard the quarrel between mother and daughter. They looked at Christo who came up with some embarrassment.

"Margaret, you go to Eleanor's room to play for a while, I want to use the room." Christo took the opportunity to clear the room, she didn't want Margaret to see the letter she wrote.

Seeing Christo's expression, the two sisters nodded thoughtfully.Margaret obediently ran to Eleanor's side.Such understanding cooperation really made Chris feel relieved.

She sat at the desk and began to write her letters by the natural light.Greetings newsletters for sisters, reviews in newspapers.In fact, the colonel and she both know that if you can search for people in newspapers, the success rate will be greatly improved, but you should not ignore those "well-bred" gentlemen and ladies in London. ruined.So this best way becomes the next best thing to do.

Looking for it can only be a needle, or even praying for God's gift.If you think about it, you know that, in a sense, the Colonel himself lost his love because of lack of money.He should not refuse his adopted daughter to marry a responsible poor man, and the kind of man who is not even willing to ask the woman's family for permission will only bring harm to the little girl in the end.

So, look for things as quickly as possible!Kristo rubbed the sore brows, and speeded up her writing.Fortunately, in terms of newspapers, she usually keeps some manuscripts, and now she can make an emergency.

The dip pen quickly slid across the bamboo paper, and the experienced Chris wrote some help-seeking information in some messy but beautiful fonts.The pages of paper were dried, then folded and put into brown paper envelopes, sealed with wax oil. Christo had no energy for waxing.Christo wrote for about two hours, and when she was done, she relaxed her shoulders, and while taking a shower, she went downstairs and handed the letter to the servant.

I really don't know how long this kind of secret transmission of information will last, it feels like an underground joint!But this deviant time was indeed her happiest.Christo smiled wryly and rubbed her stiff neck, then threw herself onto the big bed.
