Chapter Seventy-Five: Auntie
Ms. Susan Clayderman was sitting on the windowsill looking at a letter from faraway America.
It was signed by Bruce Edson, but Ms. Susan knew that it was Emma who wrote the letter. Because only Emma can write such good words.
The language of the letter is earnest, hoping that Susan will be able to take care of Emma's daughter Catherine, which will take about six months to a year, or even longer.
Susan remembers Emma.
But in my mind, it should be a little girl who dreams of dancing ballet. The money to send her to the Royal Ballet School was funded by Ms. Susan.
Ms. Susan, who is now nearly 50 years old, is Bruce's older sister, but during World War II, she has become Mrs. Clayderman.
Her home is a villa on the outskirts of London. Her husband, Clayderman, was also once a British aristocrat.
It was destroyed during World War II, and her husband died in World War II.
But her family business did not decay, but gradually revived under the painstaking management of Ms. Susan. Although the property is not large, but now that the British aristocracy has long been in decline, her family is still doing well, and it can even be said to be luxurious.
Ever since World War II, Ms. Susan has sensed that people don't have a sense of antiquity. The streets are full of fashionable girls, they are so casual, this is unbelievable before!
In the eyes of the former upper-class aristocrats, the current girls are really inferior to the next generation.
After reading the letter, Ms. Susan's brow furrowed.
If she understood well, it was probably Catherine who seemed to be in big trouble, so her parents were ready to send her here for an education. However, the language was vague, and Ms. Susan's understanding was somewhat skewed.
"Kate is bad?"
Susan had only been to the United States once, in 1950, when she met Catherine, who was only two years old, and in her opinion, Catherine was supposed to be a cute and well-behaved girl.
But according to the tone of the letter, the other party seems to have begun to learn badly. And it got into a lot of trouble.
Susan was very thoughtful, she felt that if her brother gave the other party to herself, then she would be responsible.
At least, by the time Catherine leaves, she should be a reassuring maiden.
According to the letter, the other party will probably come over soon.
By about the afternoon, Catherine, under the protection of two bodyguards, had also arrived.
"Oh, Kate."
It has to be said that Catherine is very beautiful now.
But Catherine's clothes made Susan frown.
She wore cashmere stockings and a miniskirt, which seemed terrible to Ms. Susan, but she was still happy to see her niece, whom she hadn't seen for a long time.
"Hello, auntie." Catherine greeted her with a smile.
"Find a place to sit, and I'll ask the maid to make you a cup of tea." It's tea time. ”
"Hmm."
Catherine also knows that in many places in Europe and the United States, there is a custom of drinking afternoon tea, but Catherine's family has long since thrown away this tradition.
"Oh my God, Kate, what's wrong with your hand?!"
Susan looked at Catherine's cocoon in her hand and was a little surprised.
"A little bit of work."
Catherine laughed.
In fact, the bodyguards she had with her came with a lot of tools. But Catherine is mostly reading directing books right now. "Wasteland" made her feel good, but she also knew she still needed to improve.
Catherine made it to the couch comfortably.
The air in Britain is dreary than in the United States.
Europe, which was in the midst of the Cold War, was under greater pressure than the United States.
After all, the United States and the Soviet Union were separated by sea, but the Soviet Union and Europe were bordered by land. None of the European countries had an effective defense against the Soviet tank sea tactics.
Since coming to England, Catherine has felt a little depressed.
Although there are still fashionable young people on the streets, they are far worse than the vibrant United States.
In the United States, sexism has also persisted, although not as severe as in China.
Here in the UK, the gap between men and women is even greater.
There is an urgent need for an "outburst".
Otherwise, in "history", the miniskirt would not have been invented by the British.
Catherine made it to the couch, and for comfort, she spread her legs apart. ,
But Susan frowned again.
"Kate."
Catherine listened to her aunt's words and followed her eyes, but found that it was concentrated at the base of her thigh, she smiled embarrassedly, and then closed her legs.
"Kate, your parents handed you over to me, and I must be responsible for you."
Ms. Susan said to Catherine in a serious tone.
Catherine nodded earnestly.
However, neither Catherine nor Ms. Susan knew that there was a misunderstanding between them...... And the difference is 108,000 miles.
Catherine came purely with a holiday mentality, while Ms. Susan wanted to correct the bad habits of a bad girl.
After afternoon tea, Catherine went to the room that Lady Susan had prepared for herself, and with the help of the maids, began to pack her luggage.
"Kate, I've got a personal maid for you to take care of your daily life, and she'll come over later."
"Thank you, auntie. I don't need to, though. Catherine graciously declined her aunt's kindness. But to Ms. Susan, something seemed to be wrong.
"I'll take that bag!"
Catherine suddenly discovers that the maids are preparing to open a small box of Catherine.
She immediately jumped to her feet.
The contents were brought here to prevent her parents from finding out, and it would be bad if they were found here.
But that's how unfortunate it was. Catherine walked over and collided with the other party, then ......
Mr. Horn fell out of it......
At this time, the air at the scene seemed to freeze.
Catherine's eyes were quick, and she immediately took it back, and then smiled awkwardly.
She really doesn't use this thing very often, but in order to prevent her parents from finding out when they are tidying up her room, she still brought it over.
…… Who let her leave only to find out that this thing was still in her own home?
Ms. Susan opened her mouth with a grim face, but she didn't know what she wanted to say.
In the end, she remained silent until the maids had cleaned up the house, and then they left together.
"Oh no......"
Catherine scratched her head.
She was thinking about how to explain it to the other party at dinner.
But at this time, there was a knock at the door.
"Miss Edson?"
"Well, please come in."
A couple of maids walked in, but they all had tape measures in their hands, and they didn't know what they were doing.
"Madame has decided to make you a tailor-made outfit and would like to be able to measure your measurements."
Catherine nodded, because she left in a hurry, she didn't bring many clothes, and since her aunt was so kind, Catherine couldn't refuse.
And maybe this is to solve the embarrassment just now.
