little miss austin

He was so angry that he cried out in a low voice, "Alice!"

Alice looked terrified, like... A middle school student who was caught playing truant?She pushed Gabriel away, pointed at him and said, "He seduced me!"

Ivo narrowed his eyes slightly: he can accept this.

He held out his hand, "Come here."

She hurried over a few steps.

Ivo took her back to the deck, holding her hand silently all the way.

"Ivo." She whispered, "Why aren't you angry?"

He shouted in his heart: Why am I not angry!I'm going to die of piss!

But the mouth actually said: "We broke up, I remember."

"Do you still love me now?"

He froze for a moment, "Why do you ask that?"

"If you say you don't love me anymore, I might feel a little frustrated. But if you answer that you still love me, then I want to persuade you to stop loving me."

"Then I really don't know how to answer." He hesitated for a while and thought, "Alice, tell me, do you know what 'love' is?"

"If you want to talk about the love between a man and a woman, I really don't know. You really saved me just now, I must be crazy, he... If he kisses me for a while, I may not be able to resist-- Go and take off his clothes." She looked confused, "He has a special temperament about him, I can't tell what it is, you, George, Oliver, Grant, you don't have that kind of temperament in you."

She thought hard, "Perhaps it is not accurate to call it 'temperament', in short, it is a dangerous breath."

He stared at her sadly, "I know what it is, that is, you are in love with him. You can't help but want to get close to him, don't you?"

"It seems to be. But maybe that's not love, but just—an instinctive attraction?" She said annoyedly, "If it's love, it's too dangerous. I don't like it."

That night, Gabriel returned to his room, took out a bottle of wine, poured a glass, and took a sip.

The touch of the young girl's silky lips seemed to still be on his lips, and he subconsciously reached out to caress his lips, reminiscing about the short time: like kissing on the most delicate Chinese silk, tender, wonderful, and short.

The young people's love is so brightly displayed on their faces, it can be seen without special explanation.Young love is cute, but the problem may be that it is too superficial, or there are other problems. Alice can clearly see young Gordon's love, but she can't see it.

So it seems to be an unacceptable love?

Ivo Gordon's life experience is not difficult to see, the pampered and innocent young master has no idea what he wants to do in the future.He was a well-off and well-loved kid. It wasn't surprising for such a big boy to fall in love with a beautiful girl, but it would be more interesting if the girl was a little different.

Someone knocked lightly on the door.

"Who?" he asked.

"Gabriel." The girl's soft voice.

Surprised and pleasantly surprised, he hurried over to open the door for her.

She changed the shirt and trousers on the boat, and wore a light peach-pink embroidered dress with loose hair.

The April night in Crete was very cool, she was wearing thin clothes, her palms were slightly cold, and she reached out to caress his face.

He closed the door and bolted it.

"Your hands are cold," he whispered.

"It's a bit cold outside."

"Why are you here now?" He pressed his hands on the backs of her hands, and then kissed the palms of her hands: first the left hand, then the right hand.

"I think... can you kiss me again?" She seemed a little shy, first lowered her head, and then raised her head after a few seconds.

But then muttered, "You're too tall!"

"Is it high?" He chuckled.

"I have to tiptoe."

"No, don't move." He bowed slightly, and gently pecked her lips. "is that so?"

"No—" She hesitated, stretching her arms around his neck, "That's right."

She was really inexperienced in kissing and kissed in a mess, but she was quickly led by him and threw herself into the passionate kiss.

His hands first pressed on her slender waist, and soon he hugged her tightly, almost hugging her.

She couldn't figure out how long the kiss was, and a man who is very experienced in kissing will show you the beauty of kissing. She was so dizzy in her head that she could hardly breathe, and had to push him away and take a short break midway.

No words, no need to speak, just inseparable hugs, lips are also inseparable.

What is it called?French kiss, huh?

who cares!

It was a kiss better and more beautiful than any she had ever had before, not even Byron.

She suddenly felt her body vacated, and she was picked up by him, and soon, he gently put her on the bed.

He kissed from his lips to the back of her ear, bit her earlobe lightly, and whispered in her ear: "Have you never seen a man's body?"

She was in a daze, not knowing what he was talking about.

He chuckled very charmingly, his handsome face seemed to be shining in the dim yellow candlelight.

"Gabriel." She called his name, then sighed, "You're so good-looking, I can't help being attracted to you."

He slowly kissed her neck and bit her throat lightly.

"Do you want...do you want to take off your clothes?" She asked, pulling at the collar of his shirt.

He quickly took off his shirt, revealing his lean, muscular chest.

"I knew you were in good shape." She sat up.

Gabriel knelt on the bed, "How do you know?"

"A person who looks so good-looking can't be a guy with only one abdominal muscle. I don't like fat people." She pressed her face against his chest, the smell of men, the smell of hormones.

"I'll keep that in mind."

Her arms first wrapped around his waist, and after a while she decided to push him down and let him lie on the bed.

Her hand stroked his arm all the way up, making him feel itchy all over, and felt very novel. "You've never seen a man's body, have you?"

"No."

The man's beautiful body has no fat, and the body fat rate is very low. It is probably due to the field work all year round, plus exercise, and the body management is very good.Ivo's body looks similar to his, and he must have exercised a lot.However, don't think about Ivo, let's enjoy the open and beautiful body in front of you slowly.

They caressed each other, embraced tightly, and kissed deeply, making it difficult to separate.

But just as suddenly as she came, she left so suddenly, he had already taken off her long skirt, under which was a white silk vest and silk shorts, revealing his white and slender arms, and the same fair and clean thighs.

Suddenly she seemed to wake up, and rolled out of bed, "I can't—God!"

She was busy finding her skirt on the floor and slipping it on.

"Alice! Alice! Don't go!" He also jumped out of bed, trying to hug her, "What's wrong with you? Is there something wrong with me?"

He reached out and lifted her small chin, and kissed her briskly, "Don't you like it? Do you like it?"

"I like it very much." She breathed nervously, "but I can't go on, or I will regret it."

"Are you afraid?"

"I'm afraid, I'm terribly afraid!" She trembled slightly, "I like you very much, but this is too bad, I can't—I can't sleep with you."

"Are you afraid that I will not be responsible? You don't have to worry about it. I have never been married. I can marry you. I also have enough money to support you. Don't go, Alice, don't go."

Alice smiled now, "I'm not afraid that you will run away after sleeping with me, and I don't want to marry you. I can't get pregnant. I have to go." She put on her shoes and gently pulled them apart. Latch and walk out.

Gabriel tossed and turned on the bed depressed for a long time before falling asleep.

The next day, he was surprised to find that the servants next door were busy packing their luggage, and Alice made a very sudden decision to end her vacation and return to Athens.

Ivo didn't know that Alice ran out secretly last night, but only knew that she suddenly and willfully decided to return to Athens.This is not a big deal. It has been a month since they left Athens. After they left Athens, Byron went to the plains of Troy. He should have returned to Athens at this moment. They can discuss whether to leave Greece when they go back.

According to his thinking, he should take Alice away from Greece, far away from that dangerous Frenchman.

But the damn French!Actually followed them to Athens.

They went to Athens by boat, and Alice refused to let Gabriel board the boat. Gabriel should be very annoyed, but he still told her in a very gracious manner that he would go to Athens by land, and he would go to her again. .

Byron had already returned from the plains of Troy, and when he saw his cousin, he told him with joy that he swam back and forth in the Dardanelles, and he was very happy.He also went to the plain of Troy for several days. Although no one could find where the city of Troy was, it did not prevent him from feeling the battle of Troy.

And dragged Alice on and on, saying that she should go to the plains of Troy with him, and that she might cross the Dardanelles with him, which was very amusing.

A few days later, Byron had a fight with Gabriel.

Well, it sounds a little strange, but it's not so strange.

Gabriel followed Alice to Athens, and even Ivo was convinced, obviously Alice didn't want to talk to him anymore on Crete, and it was obvious that there was something wrong between the two of them—the boat was halfway, and Ivo I figured it out, they were together the whole day the first day, they just kissed on the boat, they didn’t see each other at other times, they must have met somewhere at night, it couldn’t be the hotel where they stayed, Must be where Gabriel lived.

So, what did Gabriel do to make Alice want to avoid him?

Gabriel stayed in the same hotel as them, but Alice basically ignored him.A few days later, Byron thought the Frenchman was too much of an eyesore, so he fought him.

Byron had practiced boxing and he was good at it, so he beat Gabriel really hard.

Gabriel parried a few times at first, but he stopped resisting when he noticed that Alice was going downstairs to watch. He just paid attention not to let his face be beaten too hard.

Alice watched them fight with great interest, and even made a bet with Ivo, Grant, and Hobhouse on who would win.

"Why do you all think George will win?" she wondered.

Hobhouse looked at the two men who were fighting, "Can't you see that Mr. Bernisson didn't fight back at all? But he could fight back."

"Then why—oh! I see!" Alice suddenly said, "You all see it?"

Ivo and Grant nodded.

She thought for a while, then suddenly smiled, "It's funny. Does he think that if he gets beaten badly, I will sympathize with him?"

"Will you?" Ivo asked.

"I don't know, maybe, it depends on how badly he was beaten."

"I thought you didn't want to talk to him anymore."

"But he was beaten."

Hey, there seems to be nothing wrong.

Sidney cleans Gabriel's wound.

Alice watched with a smile on the side.

He basically protected his handsome face, except for a bruise on his left cheekbone.

Byron sent the maid to find Alice, saying that he was in pain and asked Alice to go and see him.

Alice stood up, "Don't go out, I can't guarantee that Ivo and Grant won't beat you up."

"Then you have to come and see me later."

"You won't get this beating in vain, but don't do it next time."

George Byron beat Gabriel up and was refreshed and all right.

"Alice, don't stay around that ugly Frenchman." There was a pile of desserts in front of him, "Come, eat a piece of cream cake."

As he spoke, he stuffed a small piece of cream cake into her mouth.

"I hate him. He shouldn't have kissed you. You don't want to see him, but he didn't hurry up and follow you? The French are so shameless!"

"Ivo told you?"

"of course."

"He didn't mind when you kissed me."

Byron was taken aback, "Yes! Is that because he thinks you like the French more than me? Damn it! There is no nation in the world you hate more than the French!"

"Come on! You know I won't love you, and you don't love me. You're just a wayward boy. If someone doesn't love you, you have to make that person love you. You boys, always too arrogant , too presumptuous."

"Isn't that French guy too?" Byron objected.

"I'm going to take care of him."

"I don't like him, no, I hate him."

"okay, I get it."

"I have no money to use."

"You save some money. I'll ask Jacob to withdraw the money later. I'll give you 200 pounds for the time being. Let's exchange it directly into drachmas." The drachma is a unit of currency in Greece.

Alice went back to her room and took a nap for over an hour.

When she got up, Sidney came to report first, and Gabriel asked her several times, how long she would take her nap; Jacob returned from the bank and handed her the gold and silver drachmas that had been exchanged.

Alice divided the purse and asked Jacob to send 200 pounds of drachmas to Byron and Ivo each.When you are away from home, you must have money in your hands. Fortunately, relatively speaking, the prices in Greece are not high, and 200 pounds is enough for a long time.

Sidney waited on her to wash.

"Sidney, how old are you?"

"Two and a half years older than you, miss, and just turned 23 this year."

"That's considered very old for you in Camborne?"

"My family doesn't live in Camborn now."

"Do your parents want you to marry?"

"There are four younger siblings at home, and my mother doesn't want me to get married too early."

"If someone proposes to you and you agree, or if you are undecided and want to inquire about his family, you can tell me and I will help you find someone to inquire about. Whether you are married or not does not affect your becoming my housekeeper , don't worry about that."

Sidney smiled, "Let's talk about it in a few years." Alice is not difficult to serve, and her temper is not bad, but she occasionally gets angry at the maid, but she doesn't know how to curse, and the anger comes and goes quickly, and she will pay more compensation afterwards , Therefore, the work is quite comfortable, and Sidney feels very satisfied.

"Or whoever you like, you can also tell me. I think Byron's servant Hugh is not bad, capable, and good-looking. You have known each other for a long time."

"Hugh? He has a lover."

"You know what they think, lovers are not the same as wives," she sighed, "but that's all I'm saying, I don't have a hand in your marriage. I mean, if the Byrons or The servants of the Gordons, the Bundfields, whoever you like is fine, as long as he is a reliable husband. I will give you a wedding fee when you marry, Jacob and Kate There will be in the future."

"Thank you ma'am."

"I'm not urging you to get married, but I don't have to. I'm afraid you can't. However, if you think about it, you don't have to worry about what your parents say. Your salary is for the family to support your younger siblings, yes Is it? But the salary I gave your father is not low, enough to support your siblings."

Sidney looked troubled.

"You should think about yourself. Whether you get married or not in the future, you should have some money in your hand."

Sidney nodded.Alice brainwashed her if she had nothing to do, saying that women must first have economic freedom before they can talk about other things.Most importantly, the salary cannot always be given to the parents.Before leaving England, she told the hostess that her parents felt that the young lady liked her so much, she must have received a lot of tips, and she should also give the tips to her parents for safekeeping.

But she didn't want to, the lady said, she can give her parents the salary, but it's best to keep the tips for herself, don't panic if you have money in your hand, if something needs money, parents may not be willing to give her money.

The parents felt that Jacob was a reliable eldest son, and they asked him for money. Jacob will be 25 years old by the end of the year, but he still has no money to get married.If you say that you don’t get married until you are 35 years old, you have to spend a lot of money before getting married, and ordinary people can get married if they save enough money for the wedding.

The parents didn't seem to be too worried about Jacob's marriage. Jacob himself said that he would not consider marriage until the young lady got married, but according to the young lady's tone, she didn't want to get married.Like Miss Cassandra, Miss Alice would probably always be her Miss Austin.

After Alice washed and dressed, she went to visit Gabriel.

The bruise on his face deepened, and his face was swollen, which was a little funny.

"This way you won't be as handsome as before." She said casually.

He touched the bruise on his face indifferently, "That's bad! Maybe I really got a beating for nothing."

他轻描淡写的问：“告诉我，看着我被你的情人揍，你开心吗？”

"George is not my lover."

"No? Then why did he beat me?"

"Well, he may be my lover. Why don't you fight back?"

"You probably don't like us beating each other up."

"I don't like it." She brushed his hair casually, "But your wound didn't detract from your good looks at all, and even made you more handsome."

"Don't run away again."

"I do not have."

"Find something fun to do, okay?"

"Happiness comes with burdens, only men can find happiness without burdens."

"We should be able to find a way to solve this problem."

Julian and Evan arrived in Athens at the end of May.

The young and rich son of the aristocrat lived very happily in Italy, chasing women, singing and singing every night, and getting drunk until dawn.Happy days are always passing by quickly, and there is also the problem of money. At the end of the days of spending money like water, the two of them found that they had no money!Not only did he have no money, but he owed thousands of pounds.

Julian hurriedly wrote to Alice and Oliver to apply for fire rescue. Oliver gave him 500 pounds, and Alice gave him 1000 pounds before they could leave Italy.

When they got on the passenger ship to Athens, they forgot about the embarrassment of having no money.Young people don't have the idea of ​​saving at all.

"Hasn't Oliver written to you yet?" asked Julian.

"No."

"I don't know what he's talking about!" Julian disdainfully said, "I have to tell him that if he doesn't write to you again, you will run away with a Frenchman."

"You don't mind my business."

"I heard Byron beat up the Frenchman?"

"Can you please stop calling him 'French'? He has a name."

"I don't care what his name is! He's a damn Frenchie!"

Because of the Napoleonic Wars, the French were quite unpopular in Europe.That is to say, a country like Greece that has not been affected by the war is better.But if the British and the French meet abroad, they still don't see each other well.

The Trafalgar naval battle was a naval battle triggered by France's desire to use its navy to attack the British mainland. After Napoleon I became emperor, his self-confidence increased greatly, and he was too inflated. He tried to conquer the whole of Europe and also wanted to conquer the British Isles.The victory of the Trafalgar naval battle shattered Napoleon I's ambition to rule the whole of Europe, and also greatly improved the national self-esteem and pride of the British people.

It was normal for the English to dislike the French, and Alice shouldn't have found a French lover.

Gabriel is a mature man full of personal charm. He is knowledgeable, familiar with ancient Greek history and Greek classical literature, and has a lot of practical experience. Speaking of the archaeological work in Egypt is very fascinating, he is a good storyteller; He talked about looking for the remains of the lighthouse in Alexandria, Egypt. The Alexandria Lighthouse took 40 years to build and was the tallest building in the world before BC.
