The Sensory Animals of Ston Hill

Grace decided to apologize to Anna as William said.He goes to the girls' room first to find her, but only sees Eva.

"Anna said she wanted to go out alone for a while, and I think she might have gone to the fountain." Eva said, it seems that she already knew what happened.

"Grace, you stay with those big shots every day now, are Anna and I still worthy of being your friends?" She also asked.

Grace smiled bitterly in shame, "Good Eva, I know I did something wrong, but your sarcasm is a bit harsh to me."

"It's not sarcasm, Grace. I'm asking sincerely, and I hope to get a sincere answer. I don't want to blame you. Our status is different from the beginning, and now it's even more disparate. Even if I'm just your servant, I And Anna also feel lucky, because there will be no better master than you. We will love you and serve you as always. I am just afraid that if we do something wrong, it will make you dissatisfied or even unhappy. Unwanted. If there is a line, please let us know and we will accept it without a doubt and abide by it."

"There is no boundary." Grace said affirmatively, "You and Anna are my friends, you are helping me and taking care of me, not that kind of 'serving'."

Eva finally smiled relaxedly, stepped forward to hold Grace's hands, and said gratefully: "We are really afraid that you will change!"

Grace also laughed, he knew what kind of change Eva was talking about, "If it was before, I would indeed be overwhelmed by the feeling of power, but I am not so stupid now."

Eva hugged him and asked him to comfort Anna, "She adores you." She also asked Grace, "Is Orisa your former friend? Anna just told me that the person she admires most is Olisa." Lisa, if only she could be as pretty and vivacious as that girl, maybe she could be your best friend."

Grace ran out holding her skirt.

He saw Anna by the fountain, the poor girl still weeping, sitting on the edge of the fountain.Before he could say anything, he hugged her tightly.

"Silly girl, don't cry." Grace stroked her hair distressedly, and said, "I'm sorry, when I said that, I didn't really think that way in my heart. I never thought you were frivolous."

Anna was the best at coaxing her. She stopped crying immediately after hearing him say this, but she still twitched slightly from time to time, which was the sequelae of crying for a long time.She also forgot to ask Grace why she was so angry.

Grace sat down beside her and asked her, "Do you want to learn to write?"

Anna nodded, "The maids of those noble ladies are also of noble birth. You are much smarter than those ladies, but your maids can't even write their own names well, that would be too embarrassing for you."

Grace also said that she was a "stupid girl", and that she was more noble than most noble ladies if she was willing to learn.

He asked Anna: "Why don't you learn from me? Do you think my font is not as good-looking as William's?"

Anna waved her hands hurriedly, but didn't say why.Grace asked several times before she admitted: "I'm so stupid, I don't want you to see me so stupid."

Grace couldn't help but hugged her again, "Why are you so stupid? Ah no, I don't really think you are stupid, Anna, you are not stupid at all, William praised you as a good girl, you are the best. "

Anna was embarrassed by what he said, saying that Grace was the best.She couldn't help but open up to Grace, saying that when she was in the villa, she wanted to talk to him a long time ago, but she always felt inferior and never dared.

"Why not!" Grace was astonished.

Anna looked at him with admiration and yearning eyes, counting his various advantages and the "amazing" things he had done, using the most exaggerated descriptions.

She first confessed to Grace, saying that the only time she managed to talk to him was when Grace came up to her and told her.

She was being pinched by the older maid at the time, which was a regular occurrence for her, because she was always unpleasant, and two pinches were the best.

"The woman in the chicken coop didn't use too much force that day, and it didn't hurt too much, but the luck that day was more than that."

Grace was surprised that she even called it "luck".

"That day you went to the backyard earlier than usual, and you saw that woman pinching my flesh, and you immediately ran over and scolded her. You also said to me, 'Don't be afraid of them, the more timid you are , they will bully you more. You have to become powerful, at least you have to look powerful!'”

"I felt extremely happy at the time, but I couldn't speak, I just said to you: 'I will try.'" When she said this, her expression was as happy as she described.

She still remembers that Grace used animal fat to make cheap candles, and compared this to the light created by God on the first day; she remembered that Grace used a shovel to knock off the fingers of the servant who always liked to lift the maid's skirt, describing it as Joshua style courage; she made all the biblical allusions, yet said Grace had an enviable personality in her words about the Church.

"Do you think it's good no matter what I do?" Grace couldn't help laughing, "If you continue to brag, I suspect you're in love with me!"

Anna blushed a little, and said: "You still love to smile, you look so pretty when you smile, and your laughter is so nice." She looked at Grace, her face became even more red, but she said seriously : "Fortunately, you are a girl. If you were a man, I would definitely admire you, but you must despise me."

Grace's smile faltered, and he tilted his head, thinking seriously.

After a long time, he finally figured out something, and said to Anna seriously: "If I can marry a wife like ordinary men, I will marry you. Also, don't envy Orisa. You should feel lucky, all Blessed be the living, and if there is anything to thank God for, it is this."

Anna adored him again and said, "I really think you look like a man sometimes...Ah! I don't mean looks, you are so beautiful...I mean character, you are always full of energy and talk way, because you're always so thoughtful..." She saw Grace raise her eyebrows in surprise, becoming more and more incoherent.

Grace got up suddenly and walked to the nearby beech hedge.

He plucked a leaf from the tree, pressed it between his lips, puffed up his cheeks slightly, and blew out a loud sound, just like the call of the loudest male bird during nesting period.He, too, like the showy male bird, blew through the whole garden with one song after another.

He smiled and asked Anna: "Are you more like a man now?"

Anna couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing.She was shy because the guards at the gate of the palace and in the garden turned their heads to look at them.She nodded to Grace, then shook her head, "No, he looks like a naughty little boy like John."

Grace giggled and sat back beside Anna.With his hands on his sides, he kicked his feet upwards alternately. After a while, he rubbed the stones on the ground with the soles of his shoes, and asked Anna abruptly, "Do you think others will think I look like a man?"

"Others? Who?"

Anna is very simple, unlike Eva who always thinks a lot and then worries a lot.So Grace said to her, "For example, Master William."

Anna really laughed innocently, "I don't know about that."

After Grace and Anna parted, they returned to His Majesty's room.His Majesty was still sleeping, so he walked lightly into His Majesty's cloakroom.

His Majesty also has trousers that don't require tights, but like much of His Majesty's clothing, these are mostly purple.Grace wanted to pick out something less colorful for herself.

He finally chose a set of peacock blue clothes, the patterns embroidered with gold thread were not so full, and there was only one layer of gold lace trim on the cuffs and placket, and the buttons were beautiful and engraved with flowers.

Men's clothes are really easy to wear. Put on the sleeves and buttons, and the jacket is ready to wear.He didn't wear His Majesty's close-fitting shirt, but kept the one on his own. Although it was slightly longer than the man's, it was the same when tucked into the waistband of his trousers.

The trouser waist, which is lower than the skirt waist, no longer catches on the ribs.

And the biggest difference is obviously the pant legs.Grace felt very clearly that the two legs were "separated", and all parts of the lower body could find its position at a glance.He finally understood why the men on the street threw money at a woman's feet excitedly when they saw her wearing underpants, but that excitement actually came from associations, which were completely opposite to reality.The most disturbing parts are wrapped to make the wearer feel at ease.

Grace felt a little restrained by the entire wrapping of her legs.He tried to take two steps and found that it didn't prevent him from bending his knees, so he speculated that the feeling was just because he hadn't gotten used to it, not because the clothes didn't fit well.After he walked around the room for two more times, he realized that the pants were light.

That was all he felt when he put on his pants.

He used to have a lot of stupid ideas about pants, just like he once believed that the king was more than two meters tall, because he had this idea too early and believed it.

At this moment, he faced the mirror and laughed at himself in his heart. How could he think that pants can make people smarter, more rational, and more convincing?Then he realized that beards shouldn't make people wiser, and neither should thick hair, or anything else.

Maybe it's also a lie that men are born smarter than women.Ana thinks he's smart and therefore "like" a man, but he sees no connection between those two things.

Only one thing is true, and that is that men's clothes are indeed more convenient than women's skirts.Convenience, perhaps this is the only advantage that men have more than women.
