[Sense and Sensibility] Worth having

Not long after Willoughby left, the heavy rain slowly stopped.That is, when it was time to go out again, Sir John came to see them.Everyone told him what had happened to Marianne, and at the same time eagerly asked him about Willoughby.

Of course, there was no Christo among those who asked.Now that she has made up her mind to choose Colonel Brandon, no matter how outstanding the candidate is, she will not favor it.People have to choose the one that suits them best, because there is never the so-called best.What's more, what Willoughby helped was Marianne, and it had nothing to do with her. Even if she was there at the time, she should try to weaken her existence as much as possible.

"Willoughby!" cried Sir John, who, since he was fond of hunting parties, knew all the visitors by name, and knew all about them. "He's in the country? When did he come back? He's a fine fellow, I say. I'm thinking of inviting him to dinner on Thursday!"

"So you know him? What kind of person is he?" "Where did he come from? Will he settle here in the future?" Marianne and Eleanor's impatient series of questions made Christo who was standing in the corner Can't help but hold my forehead.This is really ugly. Shouldn't Mrs. Dashwood, the mother, complete such questions?It seems that everyone pays too much attention to this handsome Mr. Willoughby.

You know, Christo didn't even remember his appearance, and handsomeness is just a very general judgment. Her aesthetics of European faces is really not good enough. In her opinion, Edward looks better than Willoughby. Good-looking, and Colonel Brandon is also very good-looking, but the people around him don't seem to think so.Aesthetics is really a sad skill.

"Willoughby? He has a good hound, and he lives at Allenham, which will be left to him by his relative, Mrs. Eyre."

Mrs. Ai.The Dashwood family all had memories, and even the girls remembered where Alan Han was. In fact, they had been there.The social sphere of the Dashwoods was within their walking distance, and Allenham was only a mile and a half away, where they had visited.

You only need to follow a small road that branches off the Barton Valley, and you can walk into the narrow and winding Allenhan Valley. There is an old and stately mansion there, which is somewhat like Nolan Manor, but the year seems to be older, and the manor is not big. But it seems to have a lot of background. At the beginning, Christo wanted to establish a good relationship with the owner here, and even looked at the study room here. Such an ancient manor must have a collection of books no less than that of Nolan Manor!

Moreover, the environment of the manor is unique, and the steep terrain forms many interesting small landscapes, which are very suitable for sketching.Eleanor is also very interested in this, and hopes to know more about this place, but after inquiring, she found out that the owner of this place is a very nice old woman, but unfortunately she is sick and never communicates with the outside world.This lady is Mrs. Ai.

"What else?" Marianne asked, her face flushed, although she was broken by the wind and rain not long ago, but now she seems to have fully recovered, she seems to be full of energy, and eager to find out what is related to Willoughby everything.Totally a silly girl in love.

Sir John didn't feel that there was any impoliteness in such a question. It seemed that life in the country was relatively tolerant.He thought for a while in distress, and then added: "His horsemanship is also good. I remember that he also has a small business in Thymost County."

Sir John had no way of describing it further.Christo believed that if Marian still urged the poor Sir to give Willoughby more evaluation, the old Sir would have to discuss with Marian carefully about Willoughby's hound breed and record.

The situation is actually quite optimistic.Sir John is very tolerant of etiquette, and is always happy to match men and women who love each other. After all, his views on Willoughby are still somewhat subjective. For example, he doesn't know Willoughby very well, and even the bigger ones are subconscious. It is his old friend Brandon.So his words are for reference only.

Horsemanship, hunting.Such activities are indeed just entertainment. A man who is good at these two things seems to think that a lady is good at piano and handicrafts, and a few compliments are over.The real measure of a person is nothing more than knowledge and wealth.Although Sir John said it very tactfully, the general meaning was that Willoughby was sponsored.

Subsidized by others, raising horses and dogs is extravagant, and calling friends to hunt.Together, it is not a quality worthy of recognition.Christo had a bottom line in her heart.She is fairly accurate in seeing people. In other words, her method of judging a person by wealth and character is the least error-prone in many cases.

However, fortunately, this Mr. Willoughby still has a heart to help others. In addition, his conversation is very good, which also adds a lot of points to him.In fact, Christophe's opinion of Willoughby is limited to herself, and the key point is that Marianne has obviously fallen in love with Willoughby, and these two people are still very suitable.

Sir John obviously saw Christo standing in the corner and weakening himself.He looked at Eleanor who asked the question before, and then joked with a hearty smile: "Girls, who of you likes my friend Colonel Brandon. He is also a person worth capturing, Marianne Miss seems to have fallen in love and cannot escape, but Eleanor and Christo still have a lot of opportunities! But I guess Miss Christo has more chances."

After saying this, Marianne who was lying on the sofa was annoyed.Her ankle was severely sprained, at least for now she can only lie down to recuperate. "I don't think we're going to use words like 'grab', it's really rude. What's really worth being together is true love, and if there's no love, a marriage is formed just because of money, so How can a relationship be happy!"

Christo frowned at her sister's straightforwardness, and what broke her even more was Mrs. Dashwood's immediate words: "Mr. Willoughby will not just let my daughters decide, let alone what you just said The 'catch'! I did not raise my daughters for them to do such things. I wish they were more reserved. But from your words, we also know Mr. Willoughby better, and know that he is a worthy friend. gentlemen."

Sir John still did not take such words to heart.Perhaps the word 'catch' appeared just because he didn't think of a better word to replace it for a while.

But something occurred to him, and he added to the Dashwoods what he recalled, that Mr. Willoughby had danced a long time last Christmas.And did not sit down and rest.

In the eyes of Marianne, this has become an ironclad proof of Willoughby's energy, hard work and perseverance.How wonderful!This Mr. Willoughby is like a knight who saves himself in distress. He is understanding and helpful. His behavior is the true love that Marianne has been waiting for!

Dancing may have something to do with energy, but what does persistence have to do with hard work and dance?It can only be said that Willoughby likes to express himself.

Falling in love with someone will surely make people's IQ negative. Christo decided not to touch Marianne's reverse scale again.Because of the identical appearance of the twins, Marianne was always wary of herself in the process of finding her mate, just like Sir John had joked before, whether there would be that poor gentleman who couldn't tell the sisters apart.

In the same way, if Christo chooses Colonel Brandon, she will try her best to prevent the Colonel from paying attention to Marianne.Although it is more likely that Marianne will not be satisfied that her sister with the same face as herself has found an old man about Sir John's age.Who cares?From now on, it's about managing their own feelings, isn't it?

Send off Sir John.The Dashwood family sat together again, and they paid attention to Marianne's injury again. It was just a sprain and needed a period of recuperation, and Marianne looked fine and didn't need to rest at all.

"Mr. Willoughby is such a nice man, isn't he? Has his chivalrous deeds already fascinated Sister Marianne?" Although Margaret was still a child, she had already teased her sister. The skill is profound.

A blush floated on Marianne's cheeks, she didn't even directly deny Margaret's words shyly, but hesitated for a while, and then slowly mustered up her courage amidst everyone's curiosity: "He... Mr. Willoughby Mr. Willoughby is clean and decisive, he is not one of those rigid men who stick to the rules. Don't you think he is the most handsome in hunting clothes? And the mansion, don't we all like it .”

Chris endured it for a while before she refuted her sister.In her opinion, Colonel Brandon was the most handsome in a hunting suit.And she also believed that in Eleanor's eyes, Mr. Edward was the most handsome.This kind of thing is not a standard for judging at all.What's more, the mansion obviously belonged to Mrs. Ai, and it has not yet become Willoughby's. Even if he inherited the mansion, it is not a meritorious service to him.

However, the sister relationship that was finally eased in the heavy rain made her finally restrain her desire to refute.It's not like she's messing up the relationship, where possible.

"Christopher, you don't have a heart for Mr. Willoughby, do you?" Marianne looked at Christophe, she found that Christophe was surprisingly quiet in front of Sir John today, and joked at Sir John At the time, she didn't make any rebuttals.Could it be that he also fell in love with Willoughby, after all, he is so good.

"No." Christo replied succinctly.

From Marianne's point of view, this is a little subtle. Maybe Christo just forced a smile on her face, or she had some small thoughts, and wanted to snatch Willoughby away in private. Although she didn't say anything, her expression was completely exposed. her worries.

"Don't worry, Marianne, I will never rob Willoughby from you. I don't want to do that. Don't forget that Mr. Willoughby rescued you and has nothing to do with me."

"Why did you say that? He sent us all home!"

"I haven't sprained my foot, or do you think I can't even tell where my own home is. Mr. Willoughby neither sheltered me nor showed me the way, and his only help was to help I lost my sister. Why should I be grateful to Dade and fall in love with you from now on?"

Christo retorted so simply, it seemed a little unreasonable.For Marianne, a lover is always the best, and it is not pleasant if he is not good enough in the eyes of others.Although Marianne had nothing to refute, she still said dissatisfiedly, "You are so utilitarian!" She finished speaking angrily, then turned her head, as if she didn't want to see Christo again.
