Chapter 46

No one had ever opened fire in the tailor's shop until Miss aurea came back.

Now, when Mr. Gorman's daughter comes back, Anna and they all have a bite of hot food.

Mr. Gorman's temper had not changed much after his daughter came back, but the discerning eye could see that he was gentle in dealing with aurea.

That kind of tenderness is not intimacy. In fact, if Anna had not known that aurea was Mr. Gorman's daughter, she would not have connected them in this direction.

This is not because Mr. Gorman is younger, but because of the similarities in their personalities.

Anna found that, although mild, Miss aurea was not an enthusiastic person either.

In fact, she doesn't seem to be very well.

Miss aurea was ill for some time when the last cold of spring came. In those days, Mr. Gorman's temper became so bad that he seemed to be unhappy with the whole world. He was too lazy to take care of the things in the tailor's shop. He left the trivial matters or guests he didn't want to deal with to prokhov and Anna.

On this day, a man who had not been at the door for a long time came.

That was Miss Eliza before.

After her last stunning appearance, Miss Eliza stole the limelight from everyone. A count took a fancy to her.

The count was a good man of some renown in Petersburg, about forty years old, and had a wife and a mistress earlier. After their child was born, he also broke up with the mistress. This incident was still regarded as a miracle in the circle for a while.

The count's wife died five years ago, and he never remarried and settled in France, which is said to be his wife's home country. This time he saw Miss Eliza at the party, for the latter looked very Xiao like his dead wife. So the count took Eliza to France for a while.

Some in the circle said that the count had proposed to Eliza. The parties have not confirmed this statement, but the story is very true.

It is said that what a socialist dares not to expect in her whole life is a normal marriage. Although it is not a first marriage and her partner is more than 20 years older than Eliza, she can not find a better one.

Obviously most people think so.

Anna was lucky enough to hear that today.

Yes, he did Eliza said shyly. Who would have thought that she was a high-level social flower in Petersburg, rather than a noble lady of any family?

"In fact, in a week's time, the count will hold a banquet at which he will announce the news." Eliza said in a sweet tone.

"Congratulations, Miss Eliza." Mr. prokhov was the first to say so.

Miss aurea knew Miss Eliza earlier than Anna, so she felt more deeply. They all blessed Miss Eliza.

Miss Eliza thanks everyone, and at last she looks at Mr. Gorman.

Mr. Gorman is not stingy about things that don't cost money, just need to talk and get something.

"I'm here today in the hope that Mr. Gorman can design another dress for me. After all, that day will be a very important day for me. As for the price, Mr. Gorman, I'd like to pay you the best reward. "

Mr. Gorman motioned to his maid to bring it.

"It's a deposit."

It was a very expensive coin. Mr. Gorman opened it and took the order.

"Well, please." Miss Eliza saluted everyone and then left.

"Good people will always be rewarded." Mr. prokhov sighed. They all felt that although Miss Eliza was a sociable girl, she was gentle and polite, so it was not without reason that she could marry a count.

"It's up to you, Pavel."

"What?"

Anna looked at Mr. Gorman with a slight frown.

"Don't let me say it twice. You can make miss Eliza's order After that, Mr. Gorman left the shop and he went out.

Miss aurea ran after her with a scarf and then came back.

"Dad, he values you very much, Pavel." Said Miss aurea, smiling.

"But..." Anna was at a loss, as if happiness had come too suddenly.

"It's nothing, but he told you to do it just to trust you. God, I have to congratulate you!" Prokhov slapped Anna hard on the shoulder and nearly let her fall.

"Yes," said Miss aurea.

"Even though he's my father, I have to say it's hard to get his approval," she said with a smile

All three laughed.On her way back that day, Anna went to the kitchen to bake blueberry pie.

When Karenin comes home, there is a sweet kiss waiting for her besides the sweet blueberry pie.

"You seem happy, Anna." Karenin was almost accustomed to his wife's overt emotions.

The servants in the family can turn a blind eye to this, especially Colney. If there is any unruly servant who looks at it twice, he will add another rule to each other privately.

"Ah, yes, I'll tell you when you've finished."

"No sweets after meals, so you can have some before meals." Anna added that Karenin had no reason to refuse.

"You can tell me when I eat." In the end, Karenin said.

The conversation with his wife was extended to dinner. Anna cut a fifth of the blueberry pie to Karenin, kept a fifth for herself, and gave the rest to Sasha.

The sweetness of blueberry pie was tolerable for Karenin.

Anna told Karenin everything about today. At last, she blinked at each other and said, "are you happy for me?"

"Yes, I'm happy for you, Anna."

Although Karenin's answer was not so emotional, Anna was very satisfied.

"I wish I could make beautiful clothes, and when Miss Eliza wears them, she will be proposed on the spot. This is very meaningful. "

When his wife described it to him, Karenin looked into each other's eyes. Although he could not fully understand his wife's idea, from her look, she felt happy for it. Then, it must be a meaningful thing.

During the next few days, Anna became busy again.

Her conversation with Karenin did not decrease, except that she went to bed later and later, ten minutes later at the beginning, and forty minutes later.

"It's not good for health at all."

Having finished washing and lying in the bed, Karenin, who had planned to see two tenths of the progress, but failed to finish even one tenth of the progress, suddenly had an excellent reason.

He looked at the cold quilt next to him, and then looked at the clock. Finally, he got up and went to the study in cotton slippers.

The place seems to have been tainted with the taste of the hostess, from time to time there will be some kind of warm small ornaments, although the books are neatly placed, but the location of the bookmarks is not the same.

For the first time, Karenin was very much in favor of the family doctor's advice.

In order to be healthy, people have to go to bed early.

"Anna, you have to go to bed." Karenin said.

The latter was still writing and drawing on the drawings. When he heard the sound, he raised his head and was still confused. He opened his mouth for a long time.

"This week, you've been able to delay your sleep by 40 minutes. It's not good for your health. I suggest you have to go back to your old routine. "

"But I don't have a good idea." Anna was a little upset.

Karenin looked at her drawings and said, "you need to rest and relax. Even if the cut-off time is up, you can't panic. "

Karenin thought for a moment and said, "we can go to the theater tomorrow."

Anna came to her senses.

"Is this a date?"

"Yes. You can't stay at home all the time. How about tomorrow evening at six? I'll book the tickets. "

"Well, I'll be dressed up!" Anna got her motivation back.

"I don't doubt that, but you're really going to bed now." Karenin said again.

Anna got up and tried to clean up the table.

In fact, when she was alone, although she was not sloppy and even neat, she would occasionally be lazy. But after sharing a study with Karenin, she has been urging herself not to relax.

When the work is over, Anna will clean up everything.

"Tomorrow, Anna." Karenin stopped his wife.

"Is that all right?"

"Yes. Although I hope it won't happen in the future. Good office habits will help you in your work. " Karenin said with a straight face that sometimes he had to preach to his wife. But fortunately, his wife never mind.

"I see." Anna went over and took her husband's hand. Sometimes she felt as if she had a disease that "you can't breathe without touching each other". Moreover, it seems that there is only one brand of antidote - Karenin.

She was happy to think of it.

Karenin glanced at his wife and asked her what was wrong with her.

Anna shook her hand, blinked her eyes and said, "look, I'm sick. I like to hold your hand. Maybe it's all over my life."

When she finished, she was happy again.

As she lay in bed, the candle lights went out, she approached her husband and heard a low voice."It doesn't matter if it's not good."

"What doesn't matter?" Anna asked vaguely.

"Nothing, Anna. Good night."

"Good night, Alexis."

In the dark, hearing his wife's even breath, Karenin took the other party into his arms. Because his wife was afraid of the cold, even if he did not, the former would rub against him in the middle of the night.

It's like something small and soft. You can't refuse it by gently scratching your quilt with your claws.

"Two people are always warmer than one." Karenin thought.
