[Sense and Sensibility] Fascinated by you

Hathaway was woken up by Kate's knock on the door early the next morning, because Colonel Brandon had already woken up yesterday, so she slept very peacefully last night.

"Hathaway, good morning." Kate came earlier today than yesterday. She came to make breakfast with Hathaway, and she had to go out to find some wild vegetables before that.In the past two days of contact, she has discovered that Hathaway is an intelligent and beautiful girl, which surprised her and took it for granted that Mr. Butler's sister should be like this.

"Good morning, Kate." Hathaway said hello while combing her hair. Here she has nothing to be particular about. She wears the same dress for two days, and her hair can only be combed casually.She combed her long golden curly hair casually, and then wanted to coil it up, but after two or three times, it fell apart, and her scalp was very painful.

Seeing her clumsy movements, Kate couldn't help stepping forward to take over her work, so she looked like a noble lady. She was shocked to see Hathaway cook so skillfully yesterday.

Hathaway looked at the colonel before going out, found that he was still sleeping, and went out with Kate in peace.

Because it was still early and the coldness of the night hadn't completely dissipated, the two of them curled up their necks and wrapped their coats tightly as soon as they went out. Hathaway took a deep breath of air, and she shivered from the cold.Most people in the village hadn't woken up yet, so it was extremely quiet. The two of them were walking on the gravel road, only the rustling sound could be heard.

This village is not big. There are more than [-] wooden houses built around the two-story building in the middle, surrounded by a wooden fence that is one person high. The whole village is surrounded by green plants, and moss and vines are climbing on the wooden houses. On the ground, weeds are also growing in the crevices of the stones on the ground. Although the workers have cleared some, it still feels dilapidated.

Hathaway lives in the southwest corner of the village, not far from the exit. After Kate took Hathaway out, she walked into the village. She pointed to the small second-story building and said, "Look, there are A well, there is water in it, but you'd better stay away from it, because Daniel lives in it."

Hathaway heard her say that Daniel lived there and subconsciously took a look at the two-story building, and then she felt that someone seemed to be staring at her behind the curtains on the second floor. His eyes were full of malice, like a horse hiding in a dark place. She looked her up and down like a hungry wolf, which made her shiver unconsciously, but when she looked carefully, she found that there was no one, maybe she was dazzled.

"Hill and the others brought back two horses before. Brent liked them very much and built a stable, but there was only grass for them to eat. After a few days, they lost their energy. Later, when there was nothing to eat Hill had to kill them." The two walked to the stable, but there was already a person feeding the horses.

"Hey, baby, eat quickly, if you don't eat Hill, I don't mind killing you and eating meat." Brent walked around Apollo anxiously, seeming to like it very much, but But dare not approach.

Apollo snorted and turned his head to the other side, dismissing the grass in the trough.

"Brent, didn't you say you don't care about it anymore?" Kate pinched her waist and looked at Brent. She always had a bad face when facing her brother.

"Did I say something like that? You must have misremembered. Look at how beautiful he is, with a shiny mane, but he's just a little grumpy. I'll bet he's a thoroughbred, at least It’s worth 300 pounds. Kate, give me some money. The owner of this horse must be feeding it concentrated feed. I feed it grass and it refuses to eat it at all. It would be a pity if it died.” Brent rubbed He started, licked his face and smiled at Kate. After laughing, he found Hathaway standing next to Kate, and immediately froze.

Brent Morris is about 27 or [-] years old, with dark brown hair tied back casually, and the same light brown eyes as Kate. When he speaks, he shows a sly and slick look.Although he is Kate's brother, he is not as calm as Kate, and he always gives people a feeling of sluggishness.

Kate gave Brent a blank look, and kicked him to bring him back to his senses. She didn't want her brother to look stupid in front of Hathaway, and he wasn't the only one who would be ashamed like that.As a result, Brent didn't respond at all, and was still staring at Hathaway. She coughed twice and found that it still didn't work.

Kate let out a long sigh, smiled at Hathaway, and then rolled her heel hard on Brent's foot, and then elbowed Brent's stomach just as Brent was about to cry out. . "Brent, this is Miss Butler, and the owner of this horse is her fiancé."

Brent grinned in pain and sucked air into his mouth. He said to Hathaway with a distorted expression, "Hi, Miss Hathaway, I've heard your name from Kate a long time ago." His expression was exaggerated He had already heard the accented pronunciation, and with his distorted face, the whole person looked very funny.

Hathaway was not in the mood to laugh, she was not a stingy person, but seeing others blatantly taking the colonel's beloved horse as their own, she couldn't help getting angry, and she replied coldly: "Hello, Mo Mr. Reese." Then he couldn't help but sarcastically said: "To be precise, Colonel Brandon bought it for 500 pounds, and it doesn't like strangers riding on it, and it doesn't eat food from strangers. "

The scene suddenly became embarrassing, and Kate heard the meaning of Hathaway's words. Her brother usurped other people's things and talked about its value in front of the original owner. His face was about to burn.This is the difference in status between the two parties. The other party can spend 500 pounds for a horse, but they can hardly afford bread. If it weren't for being kidnapped, she would not even have the opportunity to talk to the other party, no matter what. No matter how well she treated the Butler brothers and sisters, it could not change the fact that they were forced to stay here.

Kate has never felt inferior to her identity, but at this moment she feels sad because of the difference in identity.Her face darkened, "Hathaway, I'm sorry."

Hathaway realized that what she just said was too much, she shouldn't say any complaints in front of the other party, the current situation is so bad, Kate is the only person here who can help her, she adjusted her expression, "Apollo knows Me, let me feed it."

Brent looked back and forth between the two. He had no sense of shame at all. In his opinion, since the man was their prisoner, the horse naturally belonged to them.

Apollo finally saw his acquaintance, he raised his front hooves excitedly and neighed, Hathaway stepped forward to stroke its snow-white mane, this time it was very docile, and even licked Hathaway's face with his tongue.While coaxing Apollo to eat grass, Hathaway considered whether she could use Apollo to escape. If Kate hadn't brought her to feed the horses today, she would have almost forgotten the existence of Apollo.

After feeding the horses, Kate took Hathaway to the entrance of the village. She said hello to the gatekeepers at the entrance of the village and walked out with Hathaway.

Not far from the village, you can see the Mersey River, where the vegetation is lush, and there are tall reeds growing along the river.Although the climate near Manchester is much warmer than London, the river is still very cold. The two hurriedly washed their faces in the river, and their hands were red from the cold.Kate led Hathaway to dig some wild vegetables, and Hathaway also found a few sweet potatoes.

When Hathaway went back, she found that the gatekeeper had already dozed off. Kate took her back and started preparing breakfast without waking him up.

While the two were steaming sweet potatoes, Gavin walked in, "Hey, Hathaway, Kate, give me something to eat first, I'm going to starve to death." Gavin groaned while rubbing his stomach.

Kate handed him two freshly baked potatoes, and he immediately ate them voraciously, rolling his eyes until he choked, and Hathaway served him another bowl of soup.

"Why didn't you come over to pick up your meal last night? I stewed a pot of duck soup yesterday."

Gavin sipped the hot soup, and heard her say that a duck stared wide-eyed, "What! You made duck soup yesterday, oh! My waist hurt so much yesterday, so I fell asleep early, hell, what's the matter?" Do you have?"

Kate gave him a blank look, "What do you think? They almost took the pot to lick it. Everyone hasn't eaten meat for a long time."

Hathaway thought for a while, Colonel Brandon should have woken up, "I still have some soup, I can give you a bowl, but you have to help me take care of Colonel Brandon."

Kate immediately objected: "Hathaway, that gentleman is seriously injured, you'd better save the soup for him."

Hathaway actually considered that Colonel Brandon lay down all day yesterday and drank a lot of soup at night, and there will always be some personal hygiene that needs to be dealt with today. She can't help him with this matter and can only ask Gavin to go.She shook her head, "It's okay. You go, Gavin, he should be awake now, help him, I'll warm up the soup and bring it to you when I go back."

Kate was still nagging Hathaway what she shouldn't have done, Gavin blinked at Hathaway, took another black bread and ran away.

After working for more than an hour, the two finally got everyone's breakfast ready, and then they went to deliver breakfast to Philip. Since Kate was also on the side, Hathaway didn't say anything to Philip, only telling him that Colonel Brandon had passed away. Waking up, but still weak.

When Hathaway went back, Colonel Brandon sat on the bed and closed his eyes to rest. He closed his eyes and smiled when Hathaway came in. The smile looked very warm.Hathaway's heart warmed up. She put the food aside and leaned over to kiss the corner of his mouth. The colonel opened his eyes and looked at her in surprise. Hathaway smiled mischievously. After yesterday's conversation, she felt that the two of them were closer It's close, she doesn't have any psychological barriers in doing actions like this.

After feeding Colonel Brandon breakfast, Hathaway delivered a bowl of soup to Gavin as promised, and then she went to talk to Philip. The two agreed that the guards here are very loose. Get Philip and Colonel Brandon out.
