[Sense and Sensibility] Fascinated by you

After getting rid of Mr. Scott, everyone dispersed. Hathaway and Winnis stayed to chat with Mrs. Borg. Miss Hoffman and Ms. Borg went to find Mr. Hoffman, and Olivia went to Check out what's going on nearby.

It was an outing, but Andrew also prepared a lot of game equipment in advance, such as cricket, football, bocce ball, and some kites suitable for the ladies, throwing pots, and archery.There are also a few small boats prepared by the river. If someone wants to prepare a fishing rod by the river, they can also go fishing by the river. However, although the river here is relatively flat, the rain in the past few days still made the river rise a bit. However, the gentleness is only relative to the whole river, and the noisy crowd makes this time not suitable for fishing.If it weren't for the tight preparation time, Andrew might have found people from the circus to have fun.

Of course, no one can say that it is not lively now. As soon as Andrew came, he organized some young gentlemen to play cricket. Somewhat similar, are based on hitting, throwing and catching the ball.It's just that each cricket team is composed of 11 people, the field is circular, and there are two bases. The specific rules are also somewhat different.Because there were not enough personnel, 22 people were naturally not made up. Andrew forced Mr. Borg and Mr. Marshall to get together 12 people, and each team started the game with 6 people.

Olivia looked around and stopped at this place. Of course, there are many girls like her, and the wives also have to cheer for their sons, so the most people are watching from the sidelines. If you meet someone you like The bold girl who pitched or hit the ball would cheer up. Olivia stopped here to cheer for Mr. Marshall or for someone else.

Although Andrew is 29 years old, he is handsome and tall. His posture has been cultivated through seven years of sea life, and his every move is full of the charm of a mature man. Therefore, the number of people who support him is the largest. He just played with a bat There were women cheering for him loudly at the side. If you look carefully, you will find that not only unmarried ladies, but also many married women are supporting him. With a lazy smile, he waved freely to the ladies on the sidelines.

He greeted the audience and walked to the batting place. He swung his bat vigorously, half bent his legs, clenched the bat with both hands, looked at the pitcher with his eyes, and put on a serious expression on his face. .There are a lot of women covering their faces with fans on the sidelines. This is a prop with a wide range of uses. The ladies can use it to convey information and also use it to hide their expressions. Those married women use fans to cover their faces. The face is to see Andrew's firm and sexy buttocks, strong and powerful arms, and after seeing it, they will exchange opinions in whispers, and then laugh at each other foolishly.The ladies looked at Andrew's handsome face, of course secretly, and looked at each other vigilantly when they noticed that the ladies around them were doing the same thing.

Colonel Brandon, Mr. Hoffman, and Mr. Wallace went to the horse race. Although Mr. Wallace was more interested in playing cricket, he still followed Mr. Hoffman.Horse racing is also divided into two types, one is speed horse racing, with a total length of about 1 km, and a blue colored flag is inserted at the end point, and whoever pulls out the colored flag first will win; the other is obstacle race, where railings are placed on the field , hurdles, digging pits, etc., the first to the finish line wins.

Colonel Brandon took sugar lumps from his pocket to feed his horse, a purebred English horse, white and gleaming in the sun, and very tall compared to the other horses around him It is half a head taller and its hooves are as big as a fist. This kind of thoroughbred racehorse is expensive. Each horse costs 400 or 500 pounds, and its body is delicate. When you buy it home, you have to ask a professional to take care of it. If you don’t have a rich family I really can't afford it.

Colonel Brandon's horse is named Apollo, and the horse is only 2 years old. Although it is too young compared to other horses, it is just right for speed racing. There is no other horse on the field that can match it. Win a speed race with it.

Although this place is not as lively as the cricket side, there are many people who like to ride horses, and there are also many girls who can ride horses in England, so there are also many people watching here, because Colonel Brandon's Apollo It was so cool, many ladies gathered around to watch, and some bold ladies had already stepped forward to strike up a conversation with Colonel Brandon.

The lady is tall, about 5.6 feet, with deep features, brown eyes, thick eyebrows, a thick black hair coiled behind her head, wearing a red and white riding suit, and knee-length boots on her feet. People look heroic.

She pulled a petite girl, looked at Colonel Brandon boldly and directly, and curtsied generously, "Hi, I'm Rebecca Marsha, and this one is Miss Shirley Walton. "

Colonel Brandon also saluted, and reported his name very briefly: "Christopher Brandon."

Miss Shirley also quickly returned a salute, blushing and greeting Colonel Brandon helplessly.

Miss Rebecca didn't mind Colonel Brandon's attitude, and asked about Apollo's situation very familiarly.In fact, you can see how much she loves horses by looking at her attire. Her family runs a well-known local horse farm. She grew up on the horse farm since she was a child. She is very familiar with horses. When she saw such an outstanding horse, she couldn't help it. Come up and chat.

After she got familiar with Apollo's situation, she asked Colonel Brandon if he could use Apollo to breed. This kind of remark was really bold for a lady to say, and even Miss Shirley who was standing by was surprised. Looking at her, she thought she knew something about her friend's boldness, but she never expected that she would say such words in such a rude way, which is commonly known as breaking the lower limit again.

Colonel Brandon was also a little overwhelmed by this unrestrained lady, so he quickly refused.

At this time, Winnis was taking Hathaway for a walk here, and there was a Mr. Scott who looked like brown sugar beside him.

Colonel Brandon saw Hathaway walking towards her quickly, and Hathaway also felt relieved when she saw Colonel Brandon. At this time, she couldn't tell who saved who. In short, both of them were eager to get away from their side Trouble.Of course, they probably didn't expect that trouble plus trouble might turn into even bigger trouble.

"Good day, Colonel Brandon." It was the first time Hathaway met the colonel today. Colonel Brandon was wearing a royal blue tuxedo jacket with a black tight vest and white shirt inside, and black breeches on the lower body. With riding boots, hair neatly combed to the sides, looking handsome and gentlemanly, the whole person is much younger.As soon as he saw Hathaway's serious face, he couldn't help showing a little smile.

"Good day, Miss Butler." Colonel Brandon restrained the expression on his face, and greeted Hathaway calmly.But no one can mistake his expression, thinking that he is the same when facing Hathaway as he is when facing other ladies, as long as he sees his bright eyes, stretched brows, and that slightly nervous but happy expression. From the look on her face, one could tell that the lady he was facing was different.

Hathaway also felt that the way Colonel Brandon looked at her was different from usual, the eyes were extraordinarily deep, as if he had a lot to tell her, which made her heart beat a few beats faster.

Winnies watched the two of them staring at each other like no one else. Although she wanted to complain, she interrupted them to say hello and introduced the follower next to her.

Colonel Brandon also introduced the two ladies behind him to them, and took the time to look sharply at Mr. Scott.He has never doubted Hathaway's charm, so he has long been mentally prepared to meet such a gentleman.

What is unexpected is that Miss Rebecca and Miss Shirley are still acquaintances with Mr. Scott. Mr. Scott is Miss Shirley's brother and is also very close to Miss Rebecca. Rebecca has always been very friendly. I wondered how there could be a dissolute guy like Mr. Scott in the Walton family. A few years ago, there were rumors that he had grown the belly of the farmer's daughter. Seeing that he is not pleasing to the eye, the two will definitely quarrel when they meet.

"Scott, why are you here too! Didn't you say that you fell in love with a courtesan in London? Could it be that you came back to ask your father for money because you spent all the pounds in your pocket?" Such a thing Rebecca I have heard Shirley say it several times, because Scott is already a well-known playboy in Kent, so Mr. Walton sent him to London to stay, but when he arrived in London, he found a group of friends like fish in water. Being a gangster, he spends money like water, and every time he runs out of money, he has to come back to Mrs. Walton in desperation.

Scott was so angry that he jumped up when he heard such words, he glanced at Hathaway nervously, "Rebecca, what does this have to do with you! You are willing to leave your smoky horse farm and run out!" It’s not because I heard that many rich bachelors are invited here!”

"Why can't I come here? Mr. Andrew personally came to my house and issued an invitation card. Naturally, I want to come. Also, you don't have to worry about my horse farm!" The two of them quarreled.

"Brother, Rebecca, you guys, stop arguing, oh, please keep your voice down, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the two of them will keep arguing when they meet each other." Miss Shirley hurriedly turned around , turned around and remembered that there were other people beside him, and quickly apologized to Colonel Brandon and Hathaway.

The three of them looked at each other while listening to their conversation, and smiled awkwardly at Miss Shirley.Because the noise of the two made the people watching the horse race around look over, they all felt extremely ashamed.

The two had already quarreled with the Colonel's horse from attacking each other, only then did Hathaway notice a very cool white horse standing behind Colonel Brandon.

"It's really beautiful." Hathaway couldn't help but praise sincerely.

"It's called Apollo, and it's a thoroughbred." Hearing such praise, Colonel Brandon inevitably felt a little proud.

"It's such a beautiful coat color! It's almost shining, but I don't think I saw you ride it in Rockfield."

"Yes, I just had someone bring it from Delaford a few days ago." Hathaway couldn't help but want to reach out and touch its fur. Colonel Brandon stopped her quickly, knowing that Apollo's temper is not good. Small, except for him and the breeder, if anyone else touches it, it will throw its hooves and kick people.He first taught Hathaway to feed some sugar to Apollo, and then stood behind Hathaway, holding her hand to touch Apollo's mane.

Hathaway's face slowly turned red, the two were very close, the colonel's chest pressed against her back, she could even feel the colonel's heart beating powerfully, a reassuring and heartbeating feeling The accelerated masculine breath surrounded her, and his wide palm wrapped hers. She only felt a heat coming from his palm, so that she couldn't feel what he was touching at all.

Colonel Brandon was so comfortable that he didn't want to move now. The two of them leaned close together. He held her smooth porcelain-like hand, which looked as if he was hugging Hathaway behind his back. Her golden hair hung down. On his chest, the faint fragrance of his body rushed into his nostrils, and he was deeply intoxicated.
