Love England

Margaret quietly led me out of the house, turned a few blocks and saw a carriage. When I approached the carriage, I was delighted to find that Mr. Bell was sitting in it waiting for us.After sending me into the carriage, Margaret returned to Hale Mansion alone as planned, and Mr. Bell took me to Hale's house, so that it looked as if Mr. Bell had hired a carriage to pick me up.

Mr. Bell was delighted to see me, and gave me a rough account of what had happened during my absence from Hale's house for nearly a week: Since I went back to the future, the antibiotics brought by Margaret were quickly destroyed. Mrs. Hale's condition was cured, the fever subsided, the signs of infection disappeared, and Dr. Donaldson declared that after another month's recuperation and intensive care Mrs. Hale would soon recover.Because everyone focused on Mrs. Hale's illness, Mr. Hale and others did not pursue Margaret's sudden return and my leaving without saying goodbye. Frederick even found a reason for me. To explain my sudden departure to Mr. Hale and Dixon.Two days ago, Mrs. Hale's sister, Aunt Shaw, brought the Lennox couple (that is, Margaret's cousin Edith and her husband, Captain Lennox) to Milton to visit Mrs. Hale. They were Just returned to the UK from Italy.Aunt Shaw now lives with the Hale family, and the Lennoxes live at the New Street Hotel, the best in Milton.In addition, two days after I left, Mary asked for leave to go home to take care of Bessie, and Margaret and Mr. Bell also went to visit the Higgins family.In Mr. Bell's view, Bessie's condition is very bad, and Higgins is also sad all day long. On the one hand, it is because of his daughter's illness, and on the other hand, he has not been able to find a job because of the impact of the strike.The only thing that comforts me is that Margaret has finally made friends with Nicholas, and Margaret will have a way to help him and Bessie through the difficulties.In the end, Mr. Bell also told me about going to London to see the World Exhibition together, which is one of the reasons why Margaret came to me.

The cause of the incident was as follows. Mrs. Hale recovered very quickly after taking antibiotics. After Aunt Xiao and the Lennoxes came, she was even more happy. During the chats these days, everyone's topic It always transfers to me unconsciously. Edith especially wants to meet me. She, who is always lively and thoughtful, proposes the idea of ​​inviting me and Margaret to London to see the exhibition, and also emphasizes that it is in the It was an agreement that was made when we corresponded with me before.Her proposal was firmly supported by Frederick and Mr. Hale. Even Mrs. Hale said it was a good idea, and said that she was much better. She agreed that Margaret could go to London with me.Although Margaret and Mr. Bell are also very happy to have this plan, she is not sure that she can go back to my time again, so she discusses with Mr. Bell who knows how to bring me back in private, and how to bring me back when I return. Give everyone a reasonable explanation.What Mr. Bell and I are doing now is a way that the two of us came up with to deceive the world, saying that Mr. Bell would personally pick me up to Hale’s house, and that he was entrusted by my father to be my temporary guardian and accompany me Join Margaret in London with the Lennoxes.Of course, the crux of their plan was that Margaret would bring me back, but luckily everything went well.

Mr. Bell and I stopped in front of Hale's house in a carriage. As soon as I entered Hale's house, I received a very warm reception. Dixon gave me a big hug. Mr. Hale, Aunt Shaw, Lennox Mr. and Mrs. Frederick and Margaret were already waiting in the living room when Dixon announced my arrival.Frederick and Mr. Hale also shook my hand warmly, without reproaching me for leaving without saying goodbye a week ago, and Margaret herself introduced me to Aunt Shaw and Mr. and Mrs. Lennox.

Aunt Xiao has a bit of resemblance to Mrs. Hale in her eyebrows and eyes, and her figure is much plumper than Mrs. Hale's, which can bring out her kindness and kindness even more.Edith is as beautiful as I imagined, giving people a very slender feeling, maybe because she just came back from sunny Italy, her face showed a healthy radiance, she always smiled and looked very cute , and Captain Lennox is a very burly young man, although not as handsome as Frederick, but just as handsome, and his speech and demeanor reveal a kind of military style, giving people the feeling of his cousin Mr. Henry Lennox was quite different.Although I met them for the first time, I was no stranger to them. Edith soon became intimate with me, and I liked her more than in the novel.After some pleasantries and hugs, I went to visit Mrs. Hale again. She was indeed much better than before I left, and she could sit up from the bed now. Lite was offered to stay here for a longer period of time after her return from London, and I gladly accepted her offer.

After everything was packed at noon, I, Margaret, Mr. Bell and the Lennoxes took the train to London together. We talked and laughed along the way and didn’t feel how long the journey was. At 05:30 in the evening we reached the destination.We hired a four-wheeled carriage. When Mr. Bell learned of this travel plan a few days ago, he sent someone to rent an apartment only 5 minutes walk from the house where the Lennoxes lived. Margaret had a place to stay when she arrived, and Margaret and I were very grateful for Mr. Bell's thoughtfulness.When we all arrived at Mr. Bell's apartment, Mr. Henry Lennox had been waiting at the door for a long time.

This apartment rented by Mr. Bell was also entrusted by Henry as his lawyer to handle it with full authority. He had already arranged everything here a day ago, from the servants to the furniture, everything was in order.Although Margaret and I only stayed in London for three days, Mr. Bell insisted on renting an apartment in consideration of the inconvenience of staying in a hotel or Edith's house. The resting place for me and Margaret these days.Mr. Bell sincerely thanked Henry for all the arrangements for him. Margaret and I were also very satisfied with this place. Mr. Bell also invited Henry to visit the expo with everyone the next day.

When Henry led everyone to get acquainted with the apartment briefly, and after a short rest, Captain Lennox invited everyone to have dinner at their home as a welcome. We were honored to accept the invitation of the Lennox couple.In this way, a group of six of us walked, just as Henry explained before, and we arrived at the Lennoxes' mansion within 5 minutes.Because of Henry's joining, our party is more cheerful. He has been by Margaret's side all the time. From his eyes, it can be seen that he has no love for Margaret, although I know that Margaret Te's feelings for him are beyond the scope of friends, and he can't help but feel sorry for Henry's loyalty and infatuation.Because when Captain Lennox got off the train, he sent a letter to his mansion to say that there were guests coming. When we all arrived at the mansion, the servant announced that dinner would be ready in 10 minutes, so Edith greeted everyone as the hostess. Take a break in the living room.

The Lennoxes' mansion is not inferior to the Thornton mansion I have been to. It is a little less vulgar and a little more elegant. From furniture to interior furnishings, it reflects the style and taste of the middle and upper classes in London.In the novel, compared with Margaret, who is slightly poor and has insufficient property, Edith has been living a rich life from birth to marriage, and now it seems that her reputation is indeed well-deserved.Although Edith and Miss Thornton are both the daughters of a wealthy family, she does not have Miss Thornton's spoiled and arrogant temperament.She is as generous as Margaret, and is more lively than her cousin, and treats us guests with courtesy and thoughtfulness; Captain Lennox is more humorous than his cousin Henry, often telling jokes to make everyone relax Spirit, which formed a strong contrast with his military demeanor.It can be said that the Lennoxes are the so-called talented couple, and they are very happy together. This couple also reminds me of the happy couple Ginger and Lester.

In less than 10 minutes, the servant walked into the living room and announced that dinner was ready. Everyone was very happy to hear the news, because the long fatigue of the journey had already made everyone hungry. Next, we walked into the restaurant.I sat between Mr. Bell and Captain Lennox, with Henry across from me, and Margaret sat between Edith and Henry, diagonally across from me.Edith arranged a rich dinner, and while admiring the hostess's hospitality, everyone discussed the itinerary to visit the exhibition tomorrow.Finally, before the end of the dinner, the final itinerary was finally decided: at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, the Lennoxes and Henry will meet at Mr. Bell's apartment and arrange two carriages to go forward. The Lennox brothers will drive one and the ladies in Mr. and Mrs. Bell's carriage, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Bell.The World Expo was held in Hyde Park in Westminster, and Queen Victoria specially built a Crystal Palace made of glass in the park as the venue for the exhibition.We decided to find a restaurant near Hyde Park for lunch after visiting the exhibition in the morning, and to visit the nearby Westminster Abbey in the afternoon.

After dinner, Mr. Bell, Margaret, and I got up to leave, as we were all very tired, and Mr. and Mrs. Lennox tactfully left us alone.Although the way back to the apartment is very short, Henry still insisted on sending us back. This time he did not go with Margaret on purpose, but chose to go with me, following Margaret who was holding Mr. Bell's arm Walk.

"Mr. Henry, you know that this situation makes me a little familiar." I said, holding Henry's arm.

"Yes, I still remember the scene at that time, but the person walking in front was not Margaret but Mr. Hale. Thinking of that scene, I was really moved and ashamed." Henry said humbly.

"Margaret and Mr. Bell both trust you and value you so much. I am sorry for my behavior last time, Ms. Addams." I could hear his sincere apology, and I readily accepted his apology. And give him a smile in response.

"You are a good man and an excellent lawyer. I sincerely hope that you will be happy, Mr. Henry!" When I think of Henry not finding his happiness in the novel, I feel deeply sorry for him.

"I'm happy right now, Miss Addams!"

"Of course you will be delighted to see Margaret again in London!"

"I'm equally delighted to see you in London, it's true! In fact, you were the subject of conversation between Margaret and I when we went to Captain Lennox's—you always amaze me." People are curious and always have an incredible charm, which is what Margaret and I have reached a consensus on." Henry said with a slight smile.

"You and Margaret concluded that I was a monster, and of course to some people I am." I responded with a self-deprecating, without seeing Henry's reaction after hearing this answer, I knew he I don't understand the meaning of my last sentence.At this time Margaret turned around, and she was less than five meters away from us, and said loudly: "Cali is an angel, Mr. Bell and Henry will agree with this!"

"Ha! You actually eavesdropped on our conversation!" I let go of Henry, followed Margaret's footsteps, and held her hand half teasingly and half reproachfully, followed by a burst of unobtrusive laughter.At this time, Mr. Bell also announced with a smile that we had arrived home. On behalf of Margaret and me, he expressed his gratitude to Henry for taking us back to the apartment.The concierge opened the door for us, and Henry watched us enter. Before leaving, he whispered to me that he agreed with what Margaret said to me just now, and then left quickly.Henry's actions made me blush, and I had a premonition that Henry's feelings had deviated from the direction of the original novel. It seemed that there was another headache for me.Fortunately, I was exhausted from the fatigue of today's journey. When I got back to the apartment, even Margaret and Mr. Bell didn't have the heart to discuss anything. After we said good night to each other, we went back to our bedrooms and slept until dawn.

Early in the morning, after dressing up, Margaret and I happily went downstairs to the restaurant to prepare for breakfast. I felt excited when I thought about today's travel plan.Mr. Bell has been waiting for us in the dining room for a long time, but his expression has a look of embarrassment, which also makes me and Margaret feel strange.It turned out that Mr. Bell received a note from his servant this morning—it was written to him by his business partner in London. When this friend learned that Mr. Bell had come to London, due to business affairs, he asked to be sure to Instead of meeting, Mr. Bell had to give up traveling with us today because of the urgency of the matter. He has sent a servant to Captain Lennox's family to send a note explaining his situation and expressing his deep apology.Although Margaret and I indicated that this trip could be changed to tomorrow, Mr. Bell insisted that we proceed with the plan we made yesterday in order not to spoil everyone's interest.

In the absence of Mr. Bell, Henry ended up riding alone, with Captain Lennox accompanying us three ladies in a four-wheeler.Although the lack of a funny Mr. Bell is a bit regrettable, Captain Lennox's humor more than makes up for it, and our talking and laughing are not boring at all.Along the way, Captain Lennox was often talking about some of the naughty things he and his cousin, Mr. Henry Lennox, had done when they were young--what sneaked out of the house together to make their governess anxious, How the two had performed magic tricks at family gatherings, how Henry had been adored by young ladies when they were both at Oxford, and so on.Although Henry was riding outside alone at this time and was not with everyone, but because of Captain Lennox’s narration, it felt like Henry was always by our side.

"Margaret, Cali, you must know that Henry was not as strict as he is now. He is definitely the person with the most ghost ideas. He has been the person I admire the most since I was a child, and it is the same now. He is my Best brother and friend!" Captain Lennox's proud expression was beyond words when he said this, I glanced at Margaret, she gave me a knowing smile, and said: "He is indeed our Most trustworthy friend, Captain!"

"I really hope he can get married as soon as possible, and then be as happy as I am now!" Said the captain and took Edith's hand who was sitting next to him, "If he can marry you, or Cali, I'm really happy One agrees, one thousand are happy for him!"

"Honey, did you just say Margaret or Cali? If that's the case, Henry is too greedy!" Edith joked with a smile, "Cali is the closest friend of our family, and Frederick is also very Do you agree with that, don't you, Marguerite?"

Margaret replied: "I can't answer you, Edith. There is a trap in your question - but aside from that, I really hope that Cali and I can become a family. You have to know Cali, during the few days when you were away, Fred always pulled me to talk about you!"

"Margaret, please spare me!" I couldn't resist their serious and half-joking remarks.I blushed, and looked out the car window, and saw Henry riding a horse outside, he saw me at the same time, smiled at me and nodded slightly, and then he urged the horse forward very smartly, Clear the way for our carriage.Fortunately, we are about to arrive at Hyde Park at this time, and everyone brought the topic to the exhibition again.

In London in 1851, there was neither Big Ben, Tower Bridge, London Eye nor red double-decker bus, but the British Parliament standing beside the Thames and Buckingham Palace, where the Queen of England lived, were still magnificent, even in the 21st century. Unseen in Britain, the unique Crystal Palace built by Queen Victoria is dazzling.Large and small carriages, as well as tourists who come here to visit, add countless hustle and bustle to the peaceful Hyde Park.Henry was already waiting for us at the entrance to the fair when the captain helped us ladies out of the carriage.This is the first time for me to participate in such a world-class exhibition. With excitement and curiosity, we entered the Crystal Palace, which is the site of this expo, along with the crowd queuing up.This building was personally supervised by Queen Victoria's husband, Prince Albert. The Crystal Palace made of glass looks dazzling under the sunlight, and it is brighter and warmer inside, like a super-large greenhouse.In this "greenhouse", there are exotic flowers and plants transplanted from all over Europe and even the far east, making the interior of the Crystal Palace as beautiful as spring, and the fragrance of flowers can be smelled everywhere.Although I am in the 19th century, in my 21st century view, the gathering of the most advanced industrial products from all over the world still amazes me, and many visitors can’t help but feel deeply at this time just like me. The British Empire is indeed worthy of claiming to be an empire on which the sun never sets.I was curious to browse the exquisite exhibits from various countries, from Germany to France, from India to the United States, and even fine wine and furniture from China. When I felt a little tired from visiting, I suddenly found myself in a strange place. Among the crowd, I must have been too absorbed in these exhibits and got separated from Margaret and the others.I went through the crowd and wanted to go back the same way so that I could meet Margaret and the others.When I came to a row of industrial machines in the UK exhibition area, I saw a group of gentlemen surrounding someone, as if they were listening to a lecture, and the voice of the speaker made me feel familiar, and my heart was tight Standing, boldly approaching the group of people around.The face of the speaker revealed, so impassioned, so handsome and charming, the speaker was Mr. Thornton, whom I saw for the first time since he proposed to me.

"...Gentlemen, you are all watching these advanced machines. Our technology is far ahead in the world. I hope there will be machines to connect us together and share the benefits of industrialization, but that is the next generation. Research question. We can bring back pygmy monkeys from Mozambique, but we can't change human nature!"

"Can't we eradicate the strike?" asked a gentleman right in front of me.

"Not in my lifetime, but time and patience will soften their resentment..." Mr. Thornton replied, just as his eyes fell on me from the gentleman who asked the question just now. There was a look in his eyes that he shared my astonishment, but the look was fleeting, and he went on, "Miss Addam knows how deep the workers in Milton are, and how hard we employers try to get them out." , but they don’t treat us so honestly, try their best to gain our trust, and want us to be fooled and compromised, don’t you think so, Miss Addams?”

At this time, the gentlemen who listened to his speech all looked at me. They did not expect that there would be a lady behind who would be interested in this kind of discussion. From their eyes, it seemed that I was as novel as the exhibition here, as if I am a monster.Mr. Thornton stood there with a stern face. Does he also think I am a monster? Is he really jealous of the truth I told him?I suppressed my grievances, my self-esteem did not allow me to escape like this, I tried to calm myself down, and replied: "If Mr. Thornton really understands me, he knows that I don't think so!" I can't stay here anymore , His resentment made me unbearable, and even made me feel ashamed in the public. I turned around and walked away quickly to squeeze into the crowd, leaving the audience who looked at me strangely.Suddenly, my arm seemed to be pulled by someone, and I turned my head. It was Mr. Thornton, who said in a very low voice that only the two of us could hear: "I thought I knew you, but I didn't know you. Thinking about it is just being self-indulgent..."

"Cali! I didn't expect to see you here!" A crisp call interrupted Mr. Thornton, and he hastily let go of the hand holding my arm and took two steps back. At this moment, Miss Thornton Walking this way with another gorgeously dressed young lady.

"Miss Thornton, great to meet you here, didn't expect to see you in London!" I tried to smile as if I had just run into Mr Thornton.

"Because John is here too, so my mother allowed me to come too, and of course Miss Latimer, who my mother admires the most!" She winked at me, pointed to the Miss Latimer next to her, and then I glanced at Mr. Thornton next to me, so that I could understand that Miss Latimer had an unusual relationship with his brother, "Mom thinks Latimer is much more sensible than me!" Miss Thornton laughed at herself , disapproving of her mother's evaluation of her.I glanced at Mr. Thornton, and then at the lovely and sensible Miss Latimer. Obviously, the latter had an obvious admiration for the former, while the former was as reserved as ever. The four of us fell into a strange in an awkward atmosphere.

"Cali, you are here! I've been looking for you for a while!"

"Henry, do you still remember Mr. Thornton and Miss Thornton?" Henry's appearance made me breathe a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Thornton! Miss Thornton!" Henry nodded to them.

"Mr. Henry Lennox, it's a pleasure to see you again in London!" Miss Thornton greeted first.

"Miss Thornton, your piano performance in Milton is still fresh in my memory!"

"Thank you for your compliment. I think John will be happy to invite you to Milton again, won't you, John?" Miss Thornton said enthusiastically, but his brother's face was more gloomy and he didn't speak. Henry didn't seem to As if wanting to get an answer, he said, "Mr. Thornton, my cousin, Captain Lennox, is very interested in plucking cotton, and would like to ask you some questions!"

"You probably have the wrong person. I'm not a cotton player, sir." Thornton rebuffed bluntly. He was obviously not happy with Henry's joking question. I originally wanted Henry to ease the atmosphere. Instead, there was a certain hostility between the two gentlemen, for whatever reason.I was secretly anxious, and suddenly saw Margaret and the Lennoxes appearing at this time, and I hurried to greet them.At this time, I feel that I should promote the further acquaintance between Margaret and Mr. Thornton, so that the stories that should belong to them can get back on track, and maybe in this way, Mr. Thornton's resentment towards me can be eliminated.

"Mr. Thornton, this is Miss Hale, Mr. Hale's daughter, whom I have often told you and Miss Thornton about!"

"Mr. Thornton, hello! This is the second time we have met, I hope we can wash away the unhappiness of our first meeting beside these interesting machines!" Margaret greeted Thornton according to Milton's custom. Mr. Good held out his hand, wishing to shake his hand.

"Miss Hale, nice to meet you!" Mr. Thornton respectfully bowed to her, as if he had noticed Margaret's outstretched hand, and then he continued with a serious face like stagnant water. Said, "Excuse me, I'm afraid I have to go! The machine you find very interesting is the tool I rely on for survival. I have to go back to Milton." After finishing speaking, he took Miss Thornton's hand and wanted to Turn around and leave.

"Say hello to Mrs. Hale for me!" Henry said to Mr. Thornton ahead of him. "Tell them that Miss Addams and Miss Hale are well adapted to life in London. What do you think, Mr. Thornton?" Mr. Thornton stopped I stepped down and turned back to him to look at Henry. I dare not look at Mr. Thornton's expression. The turbulent atmosphere between the two is still going on, but I can't find a way to resolve them. I just heard Henry continue: "You must have noticed Cali looks a lot rosier in London than in Milton, doesn't he?"

"Have a nice day!" said Mr. Thornton at last with some inexplicable tone after a long silence, which reminded me of the "May God bless you" when he ran away on the day of his proposal.I couldn't bear to see him leave as if injured again, so I quickly explained to him: "Tell Mr. Hale that Margaret and I will go back to Milton tomorrow, and we will bring him many new things!" After listening to Mr. Dun, he left alone without looking back.

"Oh! John is so stubborn! Sorry Cali, we have to go! Mr. Henry, I hope to see you again in Milton!" Miss Thornton nodded apologetically to the others, and then pulled the sane man Miss Latima, who knew the situation, went after his brother.Also confused was Captain Lennox.

"Who the hell is he? Should I get to know him?" asked Captain Lennox.It just so happened that the gentleman who was listening to Mr. Thornton's lecture and asked questions just now walked by us. He enthusiastically answered the captain: "He is Mr. Thornton of Milton. He was still giving a lecture for his factory just now, hoping to raise some funds. He has to deal with all kinds of troubles, but unrealistic Londoners think it will be easy to make money." Henry said dismissively: "I thought the factory owners would not be interested in this kind of exhibition."

"No, you're wrong, Henry! I often hear him and Mr. Hale talk about new changes and new technologies in the world, and he's interested in everything, really, I'm sure!" I couldn't help retorting, feeling Henry was a little too harsh on Thornton for no reason, and couldn't help but feel angry at him.Now I have no interest in seeing the exhibition anymore, and even the visit to Westminster Abbey in the following afternoon makes me less interested.Although the matter of Mr. Thornton was soon forgotten by everyone, I never stopped thinking about it.Henry has been by my side all the time, but he seems to have sensed my dissatisfaction with him, so he no longer talks about it easily. Fortunately, Margaret is always with me so as not to cause too much embarrassment between me and Henry.In the evening, several of us finally returned home, and Mr. Bell had already returned to the apartment to meet us, and he was the host tonight, inviting the Lennoxes and Henry to have dinner in the apartment he rented.As for what we had for dinner, I can't remember what everyone talked about, because I kept thinking about the words Mr. Thornton said to me, "I thought I knew you, but I just didn't know you. Self-love..." What else did he want to say to me?

I felt my face was burning, and there was an indescribable feeling in my heart besides being disturbed, and it even made my head hurt when I thought about it.I had no intention of entertaining everyone anymore, so I left early saying that I was not feeling well and went back to my room.And when I look at myself in the mirror alone in the room, a strangeness makes me feel scared, I feel ashamed of myself, I am ashamed of not being a natural woman, I think of those gentlemen listening to lectures as if I were looking at monsters With the same gaze, I realized again that I was indeed a monster.I brought out my treasured pair of Mr Thornton's gloves from the day of his proposal, which I had kept with me since that dream-and-nightmare proposal.If I were really with Mr. Thornton, would the world look at John Thornton as they looked at me when they knew my secret?He will be ruined by my scandal, and he will be treated as a monster like me.As a normal and upright person, I watched him because I was treated unfairly by people, just like Henry treated him unfairly today, then I will blame myself even more - thinking of this I feel It was difficult to breathe, and I really wanted to cry. I didn't expect that meeting Mr. Thornton this time would cause me more pain. "John Thornton should be with Margaret Hale!" I said softly to the mirror.

At this time, there were several knocks on the door, and I quickly put away Mr. Thornton's gloves, and then said "Please come in", and Margaret walked into the room.

"Cali, let me see how you are? After visiting the exhibition today, your complexion has not been very good. Everyone is worried about you." I gave Margaret a smile to reassure her, and then said: "I I'm better now, I think I'll get a good night's sleep tonight and be alive and kicking again tomorrow, how are Henry and the Lennoxes?"

"already left."

"I'm really sorry I didn't get to send them off, is that being too rude?"

"Everyone is already friends, and they really know that you are not feeling well, and they don't think so. Mr. Bell sent them away. I have already told Mr. Bell that he will send us back to Milton tomorrow morning. After all, I I'm still worried about my mother, of course Frederick's stay at home also makes me worry, although Aunt Xiao is there, it's always worrying, don't you, Cali?" I nodded in agreement with Margaret's words, Also very glad that she missed everything about Milton as much as I did, and then we both fell into a kind of silence.I suddenly realized that this was the first time that Margaret and I had time to be alone since we swapped time and space, and she was also aware of it at this time. Speaking of.After 2 minutes of silence, Margaret spoke first.

"Mr. Thornton is really an unreasonable person. His arrogance and coldness are unbearable. I really didn't expect him to be my future husband!"

"Margaret?!" Her last words took me by surprise.

"Cali, I've already read that book. I found it in your home. At that time, I didn't expect that the novel was about my family and my future. Fortunately, the book about what happened to me now There is nothing in the book, that is, there is no me and you traveling through time and space, nor we going to any exhibitions, and of course there is no such thing as me and Mr. Thornton getting married in the future-I really don’t like this author named Mrs. Gaskell , my life is at her mercy in the book, and I don't like that."

"So you've finished reading that book?"

"Yes, I also watched the TV series of the same name with Ginger! What a strange experience, that is your life and not your life! You know, since living in your time and space, I feel like a woman Can do anything she wants, regardless of gender, as long as you want to do it, I will do it, and I don't feel like a useless spinster who stays at home all day Yes. Now I understand that a woman doesn’t have to depend on a man to live, and doesn’t have to choose marriage.”

"But Margaret, you and Mr. Thornton are destined!"

"No, Cali, you are wrong! Nothing is predestined, God gave man the right to live freely, just like you are not a predestined man."

"So, you also know about me?"

"Of course, Ginger told me a lot about you, besides, I have been living in your home, how can I not know? The 21st century is more developed and enlightened than this era, although through today's exhibition I am also proud of this Proud of my era, but I prefer your era and living in Campbell, I actually miss the kids I looked after, Ginger and Lester, little Kate."

"Margaret, won't you blame me for taking your life?"

"It's your life, Cali, it's your life
