Chapter 2016: The Thickness of the Crucible Eleven

 Chapter 2018 “Intermediate”

There was once a sentence describing Britain in the 19th century: From this dirty sewer flows the torrent of human diligence, and from this greasy sewer flows pure gold. Human nature is the most complete and rude here; civilization is here.

Miracles are created here, and civilized people almost retreat and become barbarians.

Georgiana had almost no doubt that it was the British Ministry of Magic that was ultimately responsible for supervising and evaluating trade practices in the magical world, and for promulgating and enforcing international laws on trade standards.

This is not only because of the "historical" International Magical Trading Standards Association in the underground of Whitehall, but also because of the kind of hard work of the British, while people from other countries prefer to enjoy life and be happy.

There are no secrets in the community. Mary, who thought her cake experiment would go unnoticed during the Salem Incident, did not realize this.

In the same way that the community is full of secrets, the Wedgwood children are like a ladder in time. When Sookie is 14, John is 13, Jos is 10, Tom is 8, Catherine is 5, and Sarah is 4.

The youngest, Mary Anne, was still teething. She started having convulsions all over her body a few weeks after she was born. Erasmus Darwin, a doctor, was invited to Wedgwood's home to treat the poor baby.

In this era, whenever this disease attacks, it can only be sedated by anesthesia, but this may affect her brain development. Later, her gums were cut so that it could be administered twice a week. It was just such a "treatment"

The result was that half of her body was paralyzed, and she had to rely on electroshock therapy to stimulate the paralyzed side. She was unable to speak until she was 7 years old.

One day Sarah said hello to her, and Mary Anne said she wanted to take a bath. This excited Sarah so much that she quickly told everyone.

Even with her family gathered together, Mary Anne was so frightened that she called "Mom". Mrs. Wedgwood was so happy that she held her daughter in her arms, and Mary Anne was so happy that she giggled. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Mary

Anne died at the age of 8. At this time, the eldest daughter Suji had been sent to a girls' school in London to learn aristocratic etiquette. John, Joss, and Tom went to boarding school in Bolton. It seemed that the curse was continued. That year

In the fall, Joss fell ill, and there was a riot in Cottontown, not far from Birmingham. Wedgwood rode his horse through the rioting crowd to take Joss home from school.

In fact, Jos's "illness" was not a real illness, and life in an all-boys boarding school was not what outsiders thought, so Wedgwood made a bold decision. He brought John and Tom back and arranged for them.

Other teachers taught at home and stopped learning Latin, which was "not related to trade", and switched to French and accounting. He arranged the future of the three boys. John was responsible for being a "country squire" and Tom was responsible for traveling.

family, and José worked as a potter.

But what he didn't expect was that the children might not be satisfied with his arrangements. Wedgwood required girls to look like girls. Members of the Moonlight Club generally believed that women's gentleness, gentleness, and compassion were what moved everyone's hearts.

Charm. Sookie played the harp piano when she was at home, but after she went to London, Sookie wrote back complaining that she was getting tangled up in tulle and ribbons. She was interested in "reminding young ladies of balls and

She had no interest in "dancing these dreamy things". Her character was the most like her father's. Watt's wife Anne had enough knowledge of chemistry to cope with her husband's papers, while Sully aspired to be a doctor.

On the contrary, the sons of members of the Moonlight Society have no interest in mechanics, engineers, chemists, or industrial leaders. Erasmus Darwin's eldest son, Charles Darwin, likes to study stones and air experiments. He likes to observe nature almost as much as his father hoped.

The only trouble is that he has a severe stutter. The second son, Erasmus the Younger, loves pastoral poetry. Even under his influence, the elder Erasmus also started to be interested in poetry. Robert Darwin has always been a follower of his brother Charles Darwin.

The three boys of the Darwin family influenced the boys of the Wedgwood family. Anyway, after the death of Joshua Wedgwood in 1795, Suzie, later renamed Susanna Wedgwood Darwin, took over the Wedgwood family's property.

, she later married Robert the Younger, and the child she gave birth to was the famous Charles Robert Darwin.

Shopping had become a fashion in the 1870s, and manufacturers were very keen on the increasing influence of women. Bolton had already maintained ambiguous correspondence with the wealthy Lady Montagu.

He was a widower at the time, and his first wife, Mary, gave birth to three children for him, none of whom survived. Mary herself was also very ill, and she may have suffered from postpartum depression, which also required some "special treatment."

disease” medicine to stay calm.

In Europe, unlike the United States, the wizarding world and the No-Maj world were completely separated after the Salem incident. Families such as Malfoy have many connections with Muggles.

In short, Mary's death in 1759 did not cause any disturbance, and Bolton buried her as a beloved husband would.

His pain did not last long. Mary's maiden name was Robinson. Her mother, Dorothy Robinson, was happy to comfort her widowed son-in-law, which made her son Luke very angry. Then Mary's sister Anne became the son of Lord Bolton.

As long as Bolton made up his mind about the object of his pursuit, whether it was love or career, he would basically be sure of success, even though the church law at the time prohibited him from marrying his late wife's sister.

Fortunately, Bolton was expanding his career in London at the time and could only "threaten" Anne by writing letters. If she fell into the arms of someone else, his brain would be crazily subverted and he would do something desperate. On the other hand, he joined

The Electrical Brotherhood came into contact with Prince Edward through these people, and successfully allowed the prince to take the silver scabbard he made to the theater. Then the Prince of Wales also ordered one. Only then did he open up the market for the upper class, and went to London again.

own foundation.

In addition to Lady Montagu, there is also Lord Shelbourne, whose husband loves reading more than her, and she met Bolton in the library.

Bolton listened to her complain for two hours. Of course, he was not interested in the "old woman", but it did not prevent him from giving her some beautiful little toys to make her happy. From an 80-year-old woman to an 8-year-old girl

He has a way with children. Queen Charlotte even called him to the bedroom and asked him to see her chimney and how many vases she needed to decorate her room. Then Wedgwood had the share that allowed him to win the "Queen's Porcelain"

"Title of the Order.

There are many ways to sell. Bolton's sales model is called private sales. Gordan Poitevin, who used to like to write scripts, did this to Georgiana. He didn't necessarily have anything to do with her, but

Maintain an ambiguous relationship so that she will think of him immediately if something happens. When Franklin rented an apartment in London, the landlady didn't believe him at first, but later she felt that he was a man she could rely on.

"Many" or 99% of noble ladies are reclusive. They live in a completely different world from ordinary women. A small toy is definitely not worth a gold louis, but to them it is a coin.

In the past, Napoleon asked Portalis to buy ritual items at the cheapest price, and Georgiana had also encountered people waiting to buy luxury goods at discounts.

Luxury goods are daily necessities for them. When men like Bolt tell them how much they need, they just pay. She only worries about how long it will take to get what she wants.

Georgiana spent 100,000 francs through Matilda in Rouen and Le Havre. Didn't Stanley find a way to get on her carriage?

Voldemort had done this before, when he was still called Tom Riddle and was working at Borgin Bock. He had a big client, Hepzibah Smith, who was dressed like a pink cake. She liked that handsome boy very much.

Son, and later showed him his collection of Slytherin's Locket and Hufflepuff's Golden Cup.

These high-value gadgets are simply causing trouble. According to her own thoughts, she doesn't want to wear silk at all, but compared to the cotton textile industry that uses child labor, the probability of child labor in silk is relatively low, because children cannot control complex textiles.

Jacquard machines must be operated by skilled workers.

The price of linen is relatively moderate, and there is no child labor. She will buy it when she returns, but now she only wears these luxurious clothes.

As for the clothes that were suspected of using child labor, she burned them even though she only wore them once.

Josephine has so many clothes that she wears four different ones every day, but she still can't bear to throw them away. As the saying goes, a woman's wardrobe is always short of one piece of clothing. What if she wants to wear it one day?

Napoleon's way of fighting was to bring no baggage or less baggage. This was very risky. The French army even did not bring tents. On the first day he stayed at St. Luke's Palace, he told her why he did that.

s reason.

The tent is a privilege of civilization, and paper cannot touch water. The fabric of the tent is also a kind of cloth. Anyway, she will not wear it again after wearing it once, so why should she wear it with her?

Maybe she is this kind of weirdo. She is comfortable with others buying things, but she is comfortable throwing things away. Even the jewelry she wore once was given to the maid, except for the gold necklace Napoleon gave her and the mother-of-pearl earrings she bought for herself.

.

After she finished her work, Bonaparte and the others came back, and happened to see her burning something in the yard.

The plume of smoke rising into the sky looked like a house on fire from a distance, but she paid attention to fire prevention and didn't have to worry about burning down the old building.

"Welcome home!" She smiled and waved to Bonaparte. "Are you cold? Do you want to come over and warm yourself by the fire?"

It's hard to tell whether he's angry or not.

She shrugged at him in an American manner and continued to burn clothes.

Later, Bolton defied everyone's opinion and married Anne, and Anne gave birth to several children for Bolton. They were happy at first, but one day Anne died mysteriously.

The day before, she was happily discussing traveling with her family, but the next day she was found drowned by the water. When people found her, she was already dead.

So, women are very emotional, right? Just like Georgiana was thinking about committing suicide just now, but now she seems to be fine.

The converse is also the same. A seemingly normal person will suddenly become confused and Annie's death will be attributed to suicide.

Just like in a certain TV series, the story begins with a happy housewife committing suicide while everyone is watching.

If Stanley is no longer a broker, he can try writing novels. Anyway, the girls in her car are attracted by his stories.

As in every suspense story, there is something hidden beneath the surface calm. There is a legend in Birmingham, and this story is related to a pagan named John Bascoville and a mad dog.

Georgiana, for her part, had another story in mind, from which she drew inspiration, but she was not sure whether Bonaparte would hear it, or whether she could tell it well.

Because emotional people can't listen to anything, just like what Bolton wrote in his love letter, "the brain will be crazy and subverted, and then do desperate things." She didn't want a murder to happen in this quiet seaside town.
