Can't wait

  Barron remembered that Bonnie's cousin, Viscountess Chris, had said that she knew many editors and could introduce them to him.

  He asked strangely:

  "Bonnie, doesn't Mrs. Chris know many editors of novel columns? Then why didn't you ask her to introduce them to you before?" "

  Because at that time, I had not written novels for a long time, and I once took a novel I had written and said it belonged to a friend of mine and gave it to two of the editors to read. They were... not very optimistic about it. So if that was the case, I didn't want to get published because of my relationship, which would only make it worse. Readers complain about me, after all, I believe in the professional vision of those editors."

  Bonnie's answer did not surprise Barron. From the time he had been in contact with her, he could also tell that the other party was a relatively strong girl. It seems that when she was writing this novel, she also had very high requirements for herself.

  "Actually, I made an appointment with Mrs. Chris to meet the editors. Maybe I should not tell them who the author of this novel is..." "I

  believe they will go crazy, because this is really a wonderful story. ."

  But even though Bonnie said this, to be honest, Barron himself really didn't have much confidence - although in his previous life, "Downton Abbey" was a phenomenon in both TV series and movies. Yes, but the novel was released only after these became popular.

  Now that "Downton Abbey" was first released in the form of a novel, and at this time in 2002, will it still be successful and welcomed by everyone? Barron will know rationally that this kind of subject matter will not be too popular with the times. restrictions, but if it is really going to be launched, it will inevitably make you a little uneasy.

  "By the way, I almost forgot, Bonnie, this is for you."

  "Really?"

  Bonnie is very busy with work, and she only took time to meet with Barron today. Before she was about to leave, At that moment, Barron took out a bouquet of flowers and handed it to her.

  Bonnie was very pleasantly surprised after receiving this large bouquet of roses. She smelled the fragrance of the flowers deeply:

  "It's so beautiful. Thank you, Barron. I like it very much."

  ...

  Just like what Barron said to Bonnie, After seeing the manuscript that the other party had written, he made an appointment with Bonnie's cousin, Viscountess Chris, to meet and discuss the publication of the novel.

  Interestingly, when Barron talked about this on the phone, Chrissy said that she originally planned to get her hair done the next day, around the afternoon, and if Barron was convenient, she could have an interview.

  Uh, do your hair?

  After all, the other party was a married woman, and Barron didn't want to be misunderstood, so he agreed...

  "Madam, your new hairstyle is very beautiful, you look like a little girl..."

  "Oh? Your Highness the Duke , do you mean that I was very old before?"

  "Of course not, you have always been young, you don't even look like a married person."

  After all, he needed to avoid suspicion, so Barron did not go out with Chrissy Instead of meeting in a public place, we made an appointment at his home...well, just to avoid suspicion.

  "Coffee or tea? Madam."

  "A cup of black tea will be fine, thank you."

  Today, the Viscountess was wearing a black and white contrasting dress with a close-fitting cut that made her exaggerated lines even more obvious.

  Especially when she sat in front of Barron, through the hollow lace tulle under the collar, she could clearly see the deep trench inside...

  "Is this...?"

  Seeing the manuscript on the table, Chris asked Asked:

  "Has the novel been finished?"

  "Not yet, but Miss Bonnie is very efficient and has already written a large part of the first part of the novel."

  Chris stretched out her hand to the manuscript, After a pause, he looked at Barron and asked,

  "Can I have a look? I've always been curious about this novel."   

  "Of course, I want Madam to judge it."

  She gently picked up the pile of manuscripts and opened them with interest...

  At the beginning, Chris's expression was a little careless. But after she read two pages, she turned to focus without feeling it. The speed of reading the manuscript gradually slowed down, and her body changed from leaning back to leaning forward slightly.

  She didn't even notice when Barron's valet Ramos came in and put their black tea on the table.

  The room was unusually quiet. In Barron's sight, Chrissy's posture was a feast for the eyes.

  When the Viscountess turned to the last page and saw the end, realizing that the manuscript ended here, she couldn't help but sigh, with a look of reluctance on her face.

  "Is there only that much?"

  Kris blurted out. When she looked up, she was startled. It turned out that Barron had stood behind her at some point. The two were very close. She even felt it when she looked up just now. She leaned on his shoulder.

  "You are really attentive, madam."

  Barron said in Chris's ear.

  She could even feel the other person's breath blowing on her earlobes. She couldn't help but feel as if electricity was passing through her, and her heartbeat accelerated.

  "This novel is great. Whether it's plot or writing, I haven't read such a fascinating novel in a long time." Chris

  put the manuscript on the coffee table, saw the tea in front of her, picked it up and took a sip. To cover up her recent gaffe, there was just a faint blush on her face that could not be dissipated for a while.

  "I'm relieved to hear Madam's comments like this. I heard from Miss Bonnie that Madam is a top student at Royal Holloway Women's College."

  Barron walked nonchalantly and returned to sit in front of the Viscountess. He said to her:

  "Of course, Miss Bonnie's literary talent is also outstanding."

  "I have also read her previous novels. The advantage is that the description is delicate and beautiful, but the story is still very lacking. And this novel is actually impressive. What is profound is the fascinating plot of the aristocratic era. The description of that time is meticulous, and these Dukes deserve the most credit."

  Speaking of this novel, Chrissy's words were full of praise:

  "It's a pity that the novel has not been written yet. Finished, now I can't wait to go to my cousin's place to read what she wrote next... The name of the novel is "Downton Abbey", right? Is it based on Chatsworth Manor, the home of His Royal Highness the Duke?"

  "Yes. , Madam, the scenes in the manor in the novel are based on our family's manor." "

  Now I really have the urge to go there and visit."

  "That is my honor, madam, you can go to our manor at any time Stay for a while, Chatsworth welcomes you."

  In response to Barron's invitation, the Viscountess responded with an elegant smile, and then said:

  "I now believe that if this novel can appear in the world, it will definitely become popular throughout the world. There have been no such realistic novels about aristocratic life in England for many years. It was still that fascinating era..." "Do

  you have any suggestions for this, Madam?"

  Chris pondered for a moment and said:

  "National As for newspapers, I have met the editors of the Daily Telegraph and the Independent, but I suggest meeting the editor of the Daily Telegraph first." "

  Why?"

  "As far as I know, " The situation of The Independent in recent years has not been very good, and sales have continued to decline. Although it is still being supported, some speculations about them have always existed..."
