The Sensory Animals of Ston Hill

The Earl of Arundel carried Grace to the guest room where he lived these days.

In wealthy houses, the guest room is often the most ornately decorated room.

Grace has never been lucky enough to enter the guest room of Maple Leaf Grange, and once she enters the room, she can’t help but look around: the religious paintings on the roof, the huge golden chandeliers hanging down, the plates with naked buttocks nailed on the wall , resplendent and resplendent cabinets and full of Chinese porcelain placed on them.He concluded secretly in his heart: The Odor family deserves to be nouveau riche who are determined to squeeze into the aristocratic class. In terms of taste, it seems that it is indeed more artificial than Ston Hill.

The Earl of Arundel put Grace on the bed, his movements were very gentle, as if he was afraid of shaking his newly suffered head.

"Are you awake? Poor little thing..." He leaned down, put his hands on Grace's side, and asked very close.

Seeing Grace so closely with his gray eyes, her heart beat faster and she was very happy at the same time:

The count has not forgotten him!The earl still likes him!

He immediately thought of his allies on this trip—although they have not reached an agreement verbally, Grace believes that as long as Alan Ston is not extremely stupid, in fact, he is very smart, although William Ston said, Alan Stone is not as good as little Grace in understanding Sir Newton's works, but it is said that he always takes the first place in the liberal arts in the military academy-as long as he is not stupid, he will definitely cooperate with him.

Grace exclaimed, "Where is Master Allen!"

The gray eyes of the Earl of Arundel moved slowly, and his cold gaze slid across Grace's face. Although it was not gentle, it was not as serious as usual: "Alan Ston? Little Ston of the Ston family son, eh?"

Grace nodded obediently, and took the initiative to explain: "Mrs. Stone wrote a letter and asked Master Allen to deliver it."

The Earl of Arundel stood up, "The master went out to visit friends, and only brought one maid with him."

Grace blushed.

The Earl of Arundel's tone and demeanor showed absolutely no sarcasm, it seemed to be just a common description, but Grace felt that if he just said "the people in the Ston family eat with monkey bowls", it would make no sense. violation.

Because the Earl of Arundel once bit his finger on the bed, and that was the only moment when he showed any humanity in front of Grace. At that time, he said: "There is something interesting in the roughness of the country. Can’t have a dessert like that.”

That's when Grace realized that the so big and rich Stoneton Hills turned out to be vulgar.

Grace moved uneasily, and asked timidly, "My lord, I think I'm fine...it seems impolite to lie upstairs like this, can we go downstairs?"

The count leaned down again, brushed his hair lightly, saw his thick hair covered the big bump, and said again, "Poor little boy."

Grace followed the count downstairs.

In the blink of an eye, the living room became so lively. The Odor couple and their favorite Helena appeared, and Dr. Powell and Alan Stone were also there. The five of them sat on the sofa and had an afternoon drink. Tea.

Classy people have this advantage. Even if they have turned against each other, they still have to sit together and drink tea to chat with each other on the surface.Thinking of it this way, Mrs. Stone really lost her face.

Grace couldn't help sympathizing with Alan Stone for a second.

The butler of Maple Leaf Forest Grange and several male servants stood by, and they didn't show any fuss when they saw the two of them going downstairs.

Grace once again felt the superiority of Maple Leaf Forest Grange over Stoneton Heights. At least there would be no maids pouring tea for guests, and the housekeeper wouldn't prick up his dog's ears to ask around.

It's just that after the decent butler asked the Earl of Arundel to take a seat, he ran into trouble.

Is Grace a servant or a guest?It is a bit unreasonable to say that she is a guest, but if she is counted as a servant, she is a maid, and according to the rules, she should not appear in the living room.

The Earl of Arundel asked Dr Powell: "Would she have tea or coffee now?"

Dr. Powell looked at Grace's face and said with a smile, "Yes."

The butler immediately asked Grace to sit on the small sofa between the earl and Alan Stone, bowed and asked, "Miss, what would you like to drink?"

This was the first time Grace was called "Miss", and immediately straightened her back cautiously, "Apple juice!" After a pause, she immediately said, "Thank you, Mr. Housekeeper."

The Odor couple frowned tacitly together, and lowered their heads to drink tea as a cover; Helena Odor glanced at him arrogantly, as if he was hindering her, and then glanced at Alan with some anger .Ston; but her former little follower did not support her with his eyes, but looked at the maid who was not on stage with a strange expression...

"Haha——" a loud laugh suddenly sounded from the earl. Not to mention the Odor family, even Alan Stone was surprised. Although he had just met Earl Arundel, he instinctively thought that this noble man It should be unsmiling.

The earl smiled happily, and looked at Grace happily. Grace blushed again in his laughter, and said shyly, "How about I drink tea?" He noticed that Helena couldn't hide her jealousy from the corner of his eye. looking at himself.

The smile on the earl's face was still there, and he turned his head to the housekeeper and said, "Two cups of tea, thank you."

After holding the teacup in her hand, Grace finally felt a little more at ease, otherwise she didn't know where to put her hands.

The entire living room was eerily silent, there was no more nonsense about the weather, only the occasional soft clink of teacups.

Alan Stone suddenly put down his glass and took out a letter from his pocket.

Grace froze all over and cursed in her heart: "Fool!"

Alan Stone must have been really stupid, and actually handed the letter to Earl Arundel in front of the Odor family, "My lord, this is the letter my mother asked me to hand over to you."

As soon as the words fell, the three members of the Odor family all changed their colors.

The Earl of Arundel seemed unaware of the weird atmosphere, he took the letter nonchalantly, and the butler immediately presented the letter opener.

The Earl of Arundel unhurriedly opened the envelope and unfolded the letter, read it with a calm expression, then folded the letter and stuffed it back into the envelope without haste, and finally put it in his pocket.

After he finished all this, Alan Stone picked up the teacup again, and moved the teacup to his mouth in sync with the three members of the Odor family, and the four of them took a sip at the same time.

"Pfft——" Grace couldn't hold back, chuckled, and quickly lowered her head to cover it with her cup.

The Earl of Arundel didn't look at him, but the corners of his mouth curled up in undisguised pleasure.

"Helena, it's a beautiful afternoon, the sun is so warm outside, why don't you go for a walk in the woods with the guests." Mrs. Odor suggested with a smile.

Helena immediately stood up, it seemed that she was standing a little too fast, which hurt her ladylike elegance.So after she got up, she tidied up her skirt a little reservedly, and then said to Earl Arundel: "My lord, are you interested in going for a walk in the woods?"

The Earl of Arundel stood up gentlemanly, "Of course." But then he looked at Grace again, "Does Grace want to go for a walk in the woods? Are your legs stiff after riding for so long?"

So Grace stood up too.

Alan Stone stood up immediately, and said stiffly, "I want to take a walk too."

Holding teacups in their hands, the Odor couple looked up at this strange combination, almost unable to maintain the dignified and dignified expressions on their respective faces.

So the four walked out the door together.
