Howard Manor

Here, you can see the home scene of the British upper class in the early 20th century. You will like the luxurious mansions in the city (the second picture), the paintings on the walls of the stair passages, and the rows of books in the collection, but you still I feel that the upper class family is cold.

It's the small manor in the countryside. You will like its porch and the back of the house. You like the path outside that only allows bicycles to pass. It is not as big as the house in the city, but it is simple and the windows are almost full of vines. Here No one really disturbs your life and your emotions. Margaret took care of the manor with all her heart. She didn't know that, in fact, the manor should have belonged to her long ago.

Can you notice the narration of the video below the third picture, there is actually central heating, so warm details. When a horse-drawn carriage passes by the road in front of the manor, you will feel that the manor is a little lively, and what I like most is the scenery outside the rear window.

There are still a few details that will impress me, maybe others don't care: it's raining outside the theater, a real gentleman, no umbrella, no panic, waiting quietly, everything is so orderly; After marrying Helen, when his wife hadn't woken up in the early morning, although his clothes were tattered, he still dressed neatly and walked out of the house lightly to earn a living, even if he could only find a part-time job, what was it for a man? It's a sense of responsibility, no need to prove it.
