Chapter 334: Madness
The sun rises today after a well-attended banquet held at the estate of Sir Augustine, a powerful figure in the county. Appearing in the sun after 2 p.m. makes many people feel a sense of comfort and joy in the festival.
Egg rolling, which lasts all afternoon, is the most attractive way to celebrate Easter. Of course, before rolling the eggs, a large number of newborn bunnies are placed in the garden lawn for the children to hold at will. While the children of the Jazz family and the daughter of Viscount Darlington stood outside the lawn and admired everything with a smile on their face, Euphemia came to the crowd with a little rabbit that she thought was the prettiest of all.
Euphemia held the little rabbit in front of Caroline with a pen in her hand, and whispered, "Miss Caroline, I am here to wish you a new life. ”
Sizz's eldest son, Ernest, also smiled and said, "Miss Caroline, please accept Effie's blessing." And, I'm sure there's an even more important gift waiting for you to unlock. ”
Caroline glanced at him, then at Isabelle, "What is a more important gift?" ”
Isabel glanced at Ernest, who was staring at Caroline with sincere eyes, and said with a smile: "Ernest, as the eldest son in the family, you should accompany Miss Caroline to enjoy this wonderful afternoon. ”
Ernest looked at Isabel to his senses, nodded to Caroline, and said, "Miss, would you like me to accompany you on my father's manor for a while?" ”
Caroline, who was holding the adorable bunny in her arms, did not speak, but smiled with satisfaction. Isabel, who was standing beside her, whispered, "Go ahead, the sunshine, the knights, the Easter rabbits, the garden, these people and things can make your mood better." ”
Carolyn Swift, accompanied by a would-be knight Ernest dressed in formal knight's attire and with a crossed knight's sword hanging from her waist, walked slowly in the direction of the pond in the garden. Euphemia looked at the backs of the two and said leisurely, "Isabel, I don't think Miss Caroline is likely to accept Ernest's pursuit, what do you think?" ”
Isabel looked up at the clouds in the sky and said to her sister, "She will, trust me." ”
"Why? Miss Caroline's father is a viscount, and would the viscount agree to his daughter marrying a would-be knight who has not yet been canonized as a knight? ”
"I won't agree now, but I will agree later."
"Well, your words do give me a new perspective on you: you are a very wicked, very cunning young lady."
Infected by the joyful atmosphere of the children at the scene, Isabel excitedly put her arms around Yufermia's neck, pressed her sister's neck with her right forearm, and deliberately said viciously: "Little girl, what are you talking about? Well, what are you talking about? ”
As he spoke, he used his left hand to scratch Yuphemia's waist. Euphemia felt an itch on the left side of her waist and couldn't stand it, so she giggled. The fight between the two drew the attention and soft laughter of Sir and Madame Sir and some of the county officials and squires. Among them were the gentleman William Frederick and his eldest son. Of course, because the second son Herbert was valued by Isabel, today the gentleman also brought the second son to the magistrate's estate to participate in the egg rolling game.
Herbert, who was also dressed as a quasi-knight, glanced at the young and lovely Euphemia, saluted his father and said, "Father, I am going to accompany Miss Euphemia." ”
"Go, go, I'm not going to object to your idea for the holiday today." Gentleman William's attitude towards his second son was slightly better than before.
While Isabel was playing with her sister, she spotted Herbert walking in front of her. Only then did he stop, let go of his sister, who was laughing non-stop, and said, "Effie, look, who's coming?" ”
How could Euphemia let Isabel go so easily, she decided to take revenge on the other party. He didn't pay attention to his sister's words or looked at someone standing in front of him, and shouted: "Isabel, let me tell you a word: 'The stubborn eldest son, the treacherous second son, the crazy third son. Today, I'm going to show you what the crazy third looks like. ”
Isabel deliberately ran to Herbert's left side, dodging her sister's capture around his body and said, "Really? So, what about Alfred, the youngest son in the family? What kind of kid is he? ”
Euphemia didn't even pay attention to who her sister was hiding, but chased after her sister and said, "Elph is a fool, a knight's squire who only runs after me. ”
Herbert, who was standing between the two, did not dare to move at will, but kept the etiquette of a knight and said to the two who kept running past him: "Miss Isabel, Miss Euphemia, be careful not to fall. ”
"Effie, don't you want to know who this person is standing between me and you?"
"No, I'm going to catch you today, and throw you into the pond to be the company of those fish and hard-shells, and make them your cutest and most powerful companions."
"Well, good idea. Still, you're going to have to get rid of this guy in the middle before you can catch me. ”
"Who is this? Why do you always stand in the middle and don't speak? Euphemia, who couldn't hold Isabel at all, stopped, put down the hem of her skirt held by her two hands, and shouted.
The would-be knight admired Euphemia after the exercise, he found that the rosy color on the other party's face was very charming, and opened his mouth and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Euphemia, I'm the prospective knight Herbert Foldrick. ”
Isabel, who quietly walked away a few steps without blushing or heartbeat, walked away a few steps without blushing and heartbeat, and admired the two with her arms folded over her chest. Euphemia took a closer look at the young face of the would-be knight, then nodded and said, "Herbert, it's you, why are you standing here?" ”
Herbert blinked and said, "Miss, I... I am here to greet you and wish you a happy and happy Easter. ”
"Thank you, knight-to-be. Now, I want you to do something for me. ”
"Uh, yes, miss."
"You and I grabbed my sister and threw her into the pond in the garden."
Herbert looked at her in amazement, then turned his head to look at Isabel and said, "Your Excellency, is what your sister said true?" ”
Isabel shook her head and said, "Herbert, don't bother with her. ”
Euphemia glared at Isabel and came to her sister's side and said, "If you still want me to call you sister, let me take revenge." ”
Isabel smiled and nodded, "Of course." I'd like to let Herbert accompany you for a while, though. Let you, in the company of the would-be knight-to-be, who is about to become your husband, think about the question of how to throw me into the pond, shall you? ”
At this time, Euphemia remembered what Isabel had told her about Herbert's marriage to her after being canonized as a knight. A blush crept up on her pretty face, and she whispered, "When he becomes a knight, he'll accompany me." ”
