Love England

The day of parting came, and I took Frederick to the station, as had been planned.Taking advantage of the cover of night, I accompanied him to the train station and bought him a ticket for the last train to London tonight.Milton Railway Station is just a small station, and there is no special waiting room for passenger transport, so the platform becomes the only place to wait for trains.Compared with passenger traffic, Milton's freight traffic is much busier, and there are two more railroads for freight than passenger railroads.On the side of the passenger platform, you can see the busyness on the far away freight platform.There were hardly anyone on the passenger platform where we were waiting except us. In order to prevent being recognized, the two of us deliberately found an inconspicuous corner.Even so, I was still disturbed and sad to accompany Frederick on the platform waiting for the train to enter the station, because I was afraid that at this time I would bump into the man who knew Fred, even Frederick beside me. De also felt my emotions, and he gently reassured me that everything would be fine, but it was hard to dispel my worries, I just tried to give him a reassuring expression.After we waited for about ten minutes, the train arrived. When Frederick walked into the carriage and waved his hat goodbye to me, my heart fell to the ground.Fortunately, the pushing and death incident in the novel that occurred because someone recognized Frederick did not happen, and I am glad that I escaped.

When the anxiety passed, the melancholy of parting from Frederick crept back into my heart. I looked in the direction of the train and could still see the front of the train coming out. The white smoke, under the cold moonlight, looked extraordinarily lonely and sad, until the whole train turned into a dot at the end of the line of sight, blending into the night.I pulled the scarf to protect my face from the cold night wind and warm myself up. Just as I turned around and wanted to leave the platform, I suddenly saw a familiar figure.At this time, Henry was walking into the platform with two suitcases. He also saw me, and his expression flashed with surprise, but he quickly recovered his usual composure.I walked towards him, wondering why he came to the station at this time, and there was no message to inform the Hale family that he was leaving, although I knew that he and Mr. Bell had been working in Milton for two days and all kinds of business. entertainment.

"Cali, why are you here?" Henry spoke to me first.

"I have just sent Frederick to London, and he is going back to Spain."

"So that's it! Is Margaret here too? Why didn't you see her?" He said while looking around, and saw a patrolling conductor not far from us announcing loudly that the next train to Scotland was still coming. There are three 10-minute stops, although there are less than five people waiting on the platform at this time.

"Margaret is still at home taking care of Mr. Hale, and I am the only one who will see Fred off."

He nodded, his expression more relaxed than before.

"Are you going to Scotland by the next train?" I asked. "Why didn't you hear us? How long?"

"It's an emergency. Mr. Bell wants me to go to Scotland. How long I'll go depends on how things go well."

"I think I can walk you into the car, Henry!"

"No, no, Cali. It's too cold tonight. You've just been ill and you're still weak. You should go home. I think Margaret and Mr. Hale must be anxiously waiting for you to go back." , I want to know if Frederick left safely, don't you?" Henry said with concern.I compromised, shook hands with him and left the platform, but before I stepped out of the train station gate, I felt that I should take this opportunity to apologize to Henry and tell him that I should not treat him as an emotional victim. Shield, let him forgive me for teasing him emotionally.

I went back the same way and entered the platform. Henry was no longer where I was just now. I kept looking for it and called Henry's name.But what I didn't expect was that at this moment I found Henry hugging a woman in a dark corner, and when the woman turned her head, I couldn't believe my eyes——

"Miss Thornton?!"

The three of us stood there dumbfounded. I couldn't even believe that Henry and Miss Thornton would have such an intimate relationship. Besides, isn't Miss Thornton already engaged?How could she come to the train station to be with Henry?I don't know how to face these two people, I want to leave this place of right and wrong quickly.

"Cali! Cali! Please listen to my explanation!" When I came to the stairs to the platform, my arm was caught by Henry who was chasing me.

"You let me down, Henry!" I saw Henry's other hand holding Miss Thornton's hand tightly, and Miss Thornton was so ashamed that she didn't dare to look at my face. "I'd like to hear how you explain it to me."

"I love Miss Thornton!" Henry said without hesitation, and his firm tone surprised me. Even Miss Thornton put aside her shame when she heard this sentence, and looked up at him with happiness on her face.

"Henry, my dear! I will explain to Miss Addams, and I should explain it!" Miss Thornton stepped forward and stood in front of Henry. "I'm leaving Milton with Henry, we're getting married, we're in love with each other."

"Although I am surprised by your feelings, I believe that your feelings are real, and I have no objection, but you are engaged, Miss Thornton! You and Henry are now elopement, and in this day and age the two of you will not get any Blessings. Your fiancé Mr. Watson will not be mentioned for now, but this will turn into a big scandal for the Thornton family in Milton. Your brother and mother will be embarrassed by what you have done, and may even be forced to leave Milton!"

"I know all this, Miss Addams! But it was all because I was capricious, vain, and wrongly blamed Henry, so I hastily accepted Mr. Watson's marriage proposal. Prejudice and prejudice against Henry, neither of them would agree to us being together. Tonight my brother is away on business and my mother is visiting Mr. Bell, so I have a chance to escape. You once predicted my fate , but I don't believe in fate, I have to get rid of all this..." Miss Thornton was talking, and behind her was the sound of a train whistle, accompanied by the sound of steam and engines, and a train came into the station , we all looked towards the train, and it seemed that this was the train that Henry and Miss Thornton were going to take.But I can't let both of them go away like this: "You can't just go away like this, Miss Thornton! Your brother is a reasonable man, he will understand your thoughts, he will persuade your mother, and I will help you !"

"How can you help me, Miss Addams?" Her rhetorical question left me speechless.

"Miss Thornton, isn't it? You are Miss Thornton! I know you!" At this moment, a drunken man came up the stairs behind me, pointing and shouting. Let people cover their noses.

"No, you have misunderstood the man!" Miss Thornton said guiltily.

"Yes, I know you, miss! My fiancée works as a maid in your house. I have met you, miss! Why are you here at night? My miss?" The man stumbled up the steps because of drunkenness, and brought Looking from Henry to me with a dirty smile, he grabbed Miss Thornton's hand.

"What are you doing!" Miss Thornton screamed, and Henry immediately protected Miss Thornton and pushed the man away.Because of his unstable center of gravity, the man rolled down the stairs and lay motionless on the ground.This scene came so suddenly that I didn't recover until a conductor in the distance shouted "It's time to get on the train".

"Henry, let's go!"

"But, Miss Thornton..." Miss Thornton was already frightened by the person lying under the stairs.

"Miss Thornton will be taken care of by me, you have to trust me! You can't implicate her when something like this happens! You are a lawyer, you know that!"

"Sorry, Cali! Thank you anyway, take care of her for me!"

"I will definitely! Go away!" I urged him to get in the car, Henry took a last look at Miss Thornton, and left with his luggage obviously unwilling.I took another look at the man lying at the bottom of the stairs, and saw that he slowly got up from the ground at this moment. I don’t know if it was because of his drunkenness. Wei Wei went straight out of the platform.I was glad that the drunk man was not injured, and returned to Miss Thornton. She worriedly asked about the drunk man, and I told her what I saw just now. She let out a long breath, and then couldn't help sobbing.

I pulled her out of the station carefully, lest I bump into someone unexpected again. It wasn't until we got into the taxi that I felt a little calmer in my heart.I took Miss Thornton home, and Miss Thornton cried all the way, and never said a word to me.Seeing her go back to the house somberly, I left and went back to Hale's house.And I was not feeling well, thinking about how to help Henry and Miss Thornton. All this happened made me feel very unhappy, because my appearance disrupted the whole story.
