[Sense and Sensibility] Worth having

In the evening there was a game of cards, Mrs. Jennings, Lucy and her sister, and Eleanor.Christo's carriage motion sickness still broke out, and she felt very tired, so she went to the room on the second floor to rest together with Marianne, who had lost her mind again after dinner.

The card game downstairs reminded Marianne of the happy times she had with Willoughby. As long as her lover played cards, she would do whatever it took to make her win. But now, she was sad and missing, Where is her lover?

At this time, the butler downstairs came into the room with a letter, which he said was from a Miss Dashwood.Eleanor glanced at the kraft paper package, the well-made envelope, but unfortunately Edward didn't know about her arrival in London, and this letter would not be hers.So she asked the housekeeper to go upstairs and give it to her sister.

While explaining, she was a little distracted when counting cards, and lost a small amount, so she could only put her energy back to the game.A game of whist* is always more fun with some money on the table, not a lot of chips.Lucy's card skills and luck are good, but Eleanor can't keep losing.Frankly speaking, she is not good at this kind of game, so she is in a hurry and has no time for him.

Mrs. Jennings was also a good card player, and she started her gossip project freely while sorting out her cards. "Oh, Elinor, which Miss Dashwood do you think this letter is addressed to?"

Eleanor's eyelids twitched. Of course, she hoped to give it to Christo, but reason told her that Marianne was more likely.After all, she had written a letter to Willoughby.And the relationship between Christo and the colonel has been recognized, even if they are not engaged, they will not be harshly criticized.

Before she could speak, the housekeeper sent another letter. "Ma'am, there is another letter to Miss Dashwood, also unsigned."

The expressions of the four players playing cards were all tangled up, and there was no fun in guessing the riddles anymore.It's just one letter per person, and the suspense is completely lost.It was a coincidence, however, that the envelopes in which the two Misses Dashwood received their letters looked almost identical.You know, there are at least dozens of stationery stores in London, at least a thousand kinds of envelopes, plus the letters delivered almost at the same time, they are really twins.

The housekeeper was also very helpless. The doors of the two ladies' rooms were closed, and Miss Marianne's door could not be knocked open. He knew this when he delivered the candles yesterday, and he would not worry about safety issues.But Miss Christo was awake, she quickly opened the door, and determined that it was her letter, and opened it on the spot.But it turned out—it was Marianne's letter.

This fact embarrassed her a bit, but Miss Christophe was a nice person.She went to the door of her sister's room in person and knocked on the door to explain.The housekeeper didn't really like this Miss Marianne.Based on his experience as a housekeeper for most of his life, this Miss Marianne is not a good girl.On the first night she came, she rang the bell to wake him up in the middle of the night, and then secretly gave him a letter and told him to post it.If it's a letter to my fiancé, do I need to be so sneaky!

Today her fiancé sent two letters in a row, one after the other, it was really unnecessary.The housekeeper complained to Miss Marianne's fiancé, couldn't the letter to the lady be written in one go, and had to be divided into two parts, the romance of young people, he really couldn't understand it more and more!

But the letter still has to be sent.The same envelope, and the same address, were always addressed to Miss Marianne.He sighed, went to the second floor and knocked on Marianne's door again.

This time the door opened quickly, and Marianne opened the door with tears on her face. She looked very sad, as if she had heard some bad news that she couldn't accept. Seeing her pale face and her crumbling figure, the butler I hurriedly sent the second letter, hoping that the second half of the letter could comfort her: "Miss Marianne, it's still your letter."

The housekeeper's words seemed to give Marianne a lot of hope. She seemed to be injected with vitality, which made her already dim eyes light up again. She grabbed the letter eagerly and opened it immediately. Come.

Out of politeness, the butler didn't want to wait to see the little girl's violent reaction after taking it apart, so she left the corridor silently. Before leaving, she didn't hear a thank you from Marianne. This is really an impolite girl. .

Christo's room is next door to Marianne's.As I said before, the sound insulation effect of the room is not very good, coupled with Christo's slightly better hearing, she did not miss the butler's second visit.The reason why she opened the letter before was because she saw the address of Aurora's home. Since Aurora was 16 years old, she has had her own confidant, and the letters sent over are all the addresses of her manor, not Make another transfer.If it weren't for this, Christo wouldn't have opened the letter.

But it turns out that this is Willoughby's letter to Marianne.Christo didn't know how embarrassing it was.However, no matter how embarrassing she was, she opened it and took a rough look.Not good news was written in the letter, and worse, the address from which the letter was sent.

As soon as the butler came downstairs, Christo opened the door of the room again. She leaned on the door frame and looked at Marianne's red eyes from crying.To her surprise, Marian walked up to her, gave her a hard look, and then threw the letter in her hand to her.

"Just watch my excitement! You peeked at the letter Willoughby sent me before, and then showed me your letter and asked me to open it. Do you think this is even? Christo, You are really...huh!" With a crying and nasal voice, Marianne snorted heavily, and then closed the door of the room with a 'bang'.

The letter floated in the air, and Chris was stunned for a while, but he didn't stop it in time, so it finally hovered and landed at Chris's feet.She had to bend down to pick up the letter.There are so many things going on recently, and they are all emotional problems!

The letter Marianne opened was from Aurora.Christo's first reaction after receiving it was to check the sending address. —same address as Willoughby's!Her heart sank to the bottom of the valley all of a sudden.Aurora usually works in the villa, so she doesn't like to invite men or hold parties. The only person who can be at her house and can use her pen and paper is her fiancé.London is so big, why did she find a Willoughby!

Christo had read the letter written by Willoughby.The wording may have been tactful, but the central idea he expressed was to disassociate himself from Marianne.For example, the letter wrote: "I will blame myself for not expressing my respect more carefully." "You will admit that it is impossible for me to mean anything else."

Along with the letter was a letter in Marian's handwriting and a strand of hair. These Christos were handed over to Marian, so it's no wonder Marian lost control immediately.Fortunately, Marianne has not yet realized the striking similarity between the two letters, which at least gives Christos more leeway.

Kristo frowned, and her brain started to work.After looking at Aurora's letter, there was only a short time and place in the letter, which was an invitation from a friend.It's a pity that things that were originally pleasant have now become tricky.This invitation will be tomorrow, and it will still be that coffee shop. Christo must go there.So she used the fastest speed to add a receipt at the bottom of the letter paper, hurriedly changed the envelope, and filled in the address that she had written hundreds of times.

When sealing it with a candle, because she was too anxious, a drop of wax dripped onto her hand, and she peeled off the wax casually. She didn't feel any pain for a while, and she quickly ran to the first floor.

Christo handed the letter to the butler.Then he said to Eleanor who was playing cards: "Marian and I took the wrong letter, so she is not in a good mood now, Eleanor, can you go and take care of it?" The butler looked at Christophe strangely. glance.

Eleanor was surprised for a moment, but she quickly saw the expression in Christo's eyes.Fortunately, the tacit understanding between the sisters came into play at this moment. Eleanor didn't know what she understood from Christo's eyes. She handed the cards to Christo and ran up the second floor.

Christo took the cards, and she looked at the lone chip in front of Eleanor, and seemed to understand what the big sister meant.However, she was also sure that Eleanor would spend a lot of time just persuading Marianne today.She asked herself that what she did was not wrong, at least she didn't demolish Marianne, you can't ask her for more, right?

Christo took over Eleanor's messy game.This is allowed in the rules, even if it is not, Lucy is not very willing to let go of a game that is almost winning.She is not used to this kind of whist cards, and the luck of the cards is always not very good, so she also fell into the same bitter battle as Eleanor.

Fortunately, things have been basically done, and it can be regarded as passing time by going around.After playing for a while, Chris felt a little better.

Playing cards can actually reflect some personal characteristics.For example, Lucy's sister, Christo, has never said a word to her, and her impression is that she is an ordinary girl.And her way of playing cards also reveals exactly this feeling, ordinary, all depends on chance.

And Lucy is amazing at playing cards, which indirectly shows that she is indeed a smart girl, but looking at the large stack of chips in front of her, and the occasional skillful check to Mrs. Jennings, it can be seen that she is very serious about winning The opportunity will not be easily let go.Even for friends who had a pleasant conversation just now, they are not soft-hearted.

Mrs. Jennings did not win all by checks.Her hand gestures are proficient, and those cards are almost flying like butterflies in her hand, which is very different from her usual chubby appearance, and everyone who sees it can't help but secretly praise, this is truly amazing. What a neat fat man!

As for Christo's own brand style?Don't ask for merit, but ask for no faults.It is not modest to say that she is not good at it. In terms of skills, although she can make up for one or two in front of her, as long as she is a little distracted, she can easily be killed by Lucy.
