The train left King's Cross Railway Station and began to gallop forward. Angela, who had been fairly regular, finally couldn't help jumping up and cheering after the train station left.
"Honey, are you so excited?" Kate, who was sitting opposite, looked out the window, and the Masons had long since disappeared.
"No no no, Kate, you don't understand," the little girl wagged her fingers proudly, "this is the first time I've been out alone, the first time I've spent the night outside without my parents, God, for the first time in 11 years, I can finally leave their arms and swim to the sky alone, how can I not be excited."
Looking at Angela who was incoherent, Kate knocked her head angrily and funny: "Angie, you are not going out alone, I am with you, you must understand that Mr. Mason and Mrs. Mason are willing to let you travel out. , because I promised them that in addition to ensuring your safety, you will never be allowed to do things that you can't do, you shouldn't want to embarrass me, right?"
"That's different, dear Kate, even if my parents weren't around, my relatives would always take me with me, but we're different, we're good friends, well... sister, you should understand some small caprices Right?" Looking at Angela smiling, Kate felt like she was on a pirate ship, she shook her head helplessly, ignored her, took out a book from her travel bag and read it.
"Oh, come on, Kate, talk to me. How about my movie or your movie?"
"If you don't want to talk about this, you can also talk about Edinburgh. How are we going to visit, the Royal Mile, Edinburgh Castle or Holyrood Palace?"
"Okay, I don't want to say this, what about your life in Cambridge?"
But her mouth was dry, and Kate just didn't respond. Although she obviously cocked the corners of her mouth, Angela curled her lips and could only sit back in her seat depressed, but from this angle, she looked really good, compared to half a year ago, Kate's hair has grown a lot, and the feeling of a tomboy has basically disappeared, replaced by the softness that women should have, but there is still greenness between the eyebrows, wait, do you know what greenness is? So why is there such a strange feeling
The little girl shrugged, her heart suddenly moved, and then she took something out of her backpack and started to fiddle. Kate originally paid attention to Angela's movements while reading a book, but after a long time, she was completely immersed in the world of the book, and then a piece of drawing paper the size of two palms suddenly appeared in front of her eyes. Kate was stunned for a moment. This is a simple avatar sketch. The woman in the painting supports her face with one arm and sits by the window with a book in the other hand, watching quietly. Tranquility is completely sketched out.
"Your paintings are still so beautiful." Kate took the drawing paper and sighed.
"Oh, Kate, I'll be embarrassed if you compliment me like this." Angela shrugged and said with a grin, with no intention of being modest at all.
"This should be the fourth picture, right?" Kate suddenly said, followed by searching in her travel bag, and took out a small book containing 3 portraits of her at different ages.
"This is the first one, I remember you drew it when I was 13 years old, well, you were only 6 years old at that time, it was amazing, you could draw so well at that time; and then this one, It was when I was 15; and this one was from Christmas the year before; time flies." Looking at the sketches in her hands, Kate sighed, and then realized that something was wrong, looked up, little girl Looking at her without blinking.
"What's wrong?" Kate waved in front of her and asked strangely.
"It's nothing," Angela suddenly sighed, "time really flies, you're going to college in the blink of an eye, and I'm going to go to middle school soon, but..."
She stuck out her tongue naughty: "It's rare that you still keep all these paintings."
"Of course, if you become famous in the future, these things can be bought for a good price." Kate raised the paintings in her hands. Having said that, she still carefully put away these paintings.
At this time, a male voice came: "Hi, two young ladies, how are you."
Kate and Angela turned their heads together and saw a young white male in his twenties standing in the aisle. Although he had a smile on his face, he always gave off a pretentious feeling, with pimples on both sides of his nose. clear and distinct.
"If you don't mind, can I sit here." He pointed to the vacant seat beside Kate.
Without waiting for Kate to answer, Angela said first: "Actually, we are very concerned. My sister and I rarely travel together. If you want to talk privately, please don't disturb us? And there are many vacancies here, not necessarily Sit here."
"Oh, well, I'm sorry." The young man left in embarrassment.
Kate looked at the little girl puzzled: "Angie, don't you feel a little rude?"
"Don't tell me you can't see it, Kate, this guy is obviously here to chat up." Angela shrugged.
"Yes, I know he's here to chat up, but you're too rude."
"That's not good, Kate, you are mine, and no one can take you away from me!" The little girl waved her small fist seriously, "So, you can't be polite to this kind of person, you have to reject him outright. !"
As soon as the words were finished, the little girl was stunned. Why is it so easy to say no at this time
Kate didn't notice the little girl's distraction, but rolled her eyes, thinking that the little guy actually came to care about her sex life last time, so she said helplessly: "Okay, okay, I'm yours. "
After she finished speaking, she lowered her head and continued to read the book, but Angela, who quickly recovered, sat down, took Kate's arm and shook it desperately: "Don't do this, Kate, dear, talk to me for a while. Okay, aren't we out for a trip?!"
Kate, who was shaken by her to lose her temper, had to put down the book again and sighed: "Okay, what do you want to talk about?"
"What do you think of my movies? Oh, no, no, let's talk about your small roles in movies and on stage, by the way, you said last time in a movie starring Catherine Zeta Jones there was A small character, so have you seen Katherine? Is she pretty?"
…
At about 5 pm, the train finally pulled into Edinburgh's Waverley station. Although Angela was chatting with Kate in great interest, after a long 7-hour train I couldn't help but feel a little tired, but luckily there was a bus station 200 meters from the train station, and the two immediately took a bus into the city.
Edinburgh is the capital of Scotland. It is located in the central lowlands of Scotland and on the south bank of the Firth of Forth, with an area of about 260 square kilometers. It is a cultural city with a long history and beautiful scenery. . Angela had been here before, but it was mostly when she was 4 or 5 years old. At that time, her parents would follow wherever they went, and there was no free time to stroll around.
Although she had been planning a solo trip—a trip without family, to be exact—for a long time, the plan was far from perfect, and this time it was completely forced, after the New Year's Palace dinner, as traditionally the whole family I’m going to stay at the Frent House in Bristol for two days. Although the environment there is beautiful, it is not worse than the manor, but as the old house where the Albert family has lived for generations, it is too big, and many places are gloomy. Forest, especially the long corridor full of ancestor portraits, every time I walk there, the little girl will feel that the people in the portraits are all watching her, which makes the back of the neck chill, if there is no light In the dark night, passing through here with a candle, a little noise can scare people to death, if she can, she really doesn't want to go.
So she secretly called Kate and agreed to go on a trip. Of course, she was vague about whether her parents agreed with her. She first mentioned it in a roundabout way in front of Uncle Frank, and then Aunt Winnie, who had the closest relationship with her mother, said inadvertently. , and used Gerald's housekeeper to reveal it to his grandfather, and finally showed up with his parents. However, even though he worked so hard, they still wouldn't allow it out of parents' worries. Angela begged again and again, and the destination was only Edinburgh is still within the UK, and everyone in the family knows that once a little girl's stubborn temper flares up, it will be a headache. Think about it, this little guy dared to run away from home when he was 4 years old, so his father The mother finally agreed to her request.
Next, of course, is to meet Kate, please tell me to wait, Kate and the Mason family have always had a good relationship - since picking up the little girl who ran away from home - so the Masons will give Angela to her with confidence, But although she was relieved, Angela also knew that her grandfather had definitely greeted the people in Scotland Yard through a relationship, and he definitely didn't want the chaos after she ran away from home again. It doesn't matter, since she chose to go to Edinburgh, she must have this awareness. In fact, the little girl chose to go to Edinburgh to express the meaning of "Look, I won't mess around".
Of course, there is still a little bit of willfulness. I originally planned to fly back and forth, but I don't know why Angela asked to take the train - even if the train took 6 to 7 hours, and she also asked to leave from King's Cross Station, really Weird little guy.
At this time, Edinburgh was already a little bit bright, and the north in winter was always very late, so after getting off and turning around on the Royal Mile, the two found a hotel to rest early.
