Chapter 2017: The Thickness of the Crucible Twelve

 Chapter 2019 lunar ideals

There is an unwritten rule of thumb that it is always the husband who kills a woman, but Bolton had an alibi when Anne died.

It was the hottest July on record, with sweltering, cloudy weather making staying indoors unbearable, and Anne Bolton walked across the gravel path to her garden in Soho. Bolton teamed up with his garden care

It has vegetation, grottoes and fountains, and a waterfall was built at the suggestion of the gardener, with water flowing from a pond on the hillside to the lake below.

There is a boathouse and a mill on the island in the lake, which is still in use. The small pond above has a small greenhouse. People of this era liked to collect plants. In 1778, Bolton was still decorating the small pond.

A huge shell was made, which was purely for decoration.

However, it was cool to enjoy the shade under the dense trees. A woman went to the hayfield with a beer and saw Anne walking by the pond. Ten minutes later she found Anne lying face down in a shallow water. Bolton was in Coventry at the time, although

He claimed that "my heart is at home" and he did not return home until late in the evening.

It is impossible for him to commit the crime himself, and people do not believe that Mr. Bolton would murder his second wife. He did not write a poem for her and put it in the coffin like he did with Mary, nor did he place a tombstone in the garden. But after Anne died, he

There was something wrong with his health, just like Anne took away all his joy and happiness.

With no alibi and no evidence, who would doubt such a poor man?

Katie Bell touched the cursed necklace before, and Harry directly accused Draco of doing it. Although it turned out that Draco had indeed placed the necklace, his accusation had no evidence. If Harry wanted to accuse someone,

, whoever is deemed guilty, then there is no need for the human judicial system to exist.

Therefore, there must be evidence. Accusations without evidence are false accusations. Mr. Bolton can hire a lawyer to sue the nonsense person for defamation.

By the beginning of the 16th century, Paris had replaced Venice as the center of printing art. A regular reader will find that there is a big difference between handwritten fonts and printed fonts. In the early 16th century, those old-fashioned fonts were influenced by quill pen fonts.

, these words are called Roman fonts, which look rounder, while printed fonts are cut, and the serifs become sharp and no longer rounded. At the beginning of the Enlightenment, the then French King Louis XIII asked Richelieu to design

A new set of fonts for the Royal Printing Office. Therefore, a board game designer led the French Academy to set up a committee to engage in the development and design of geometric letters, and then a new profession - typeface designer,

John Bascoville followed this profession, and his portrait still hangs in Birmingham Museum.

As Bascoville experimented with new printing techniques and typefaces, he developed lighter woven papers and richer black inks. His first work was the Virgil series, and he would go on to publish nearly 50 other classics.

, in 1758 he became printer of Cambridge University Press, but unfortunately whatever innovations he brought to printing in the 18th century, Baskerville spent most of his time being admired abroad, with Benjamin Franklin layered with a small

Baskerville books return to America.

John Baskerville died in January 1775, leaving instructions in his will to be buried "in a lead coffin in the vault under the conical building hitherto used as a mill, which I have lately raised and painted."

, the small conical tomb was dismantled after the house was sold in 1788, and a worker accidentally hit a shovel on the lead coffin and hurriedly covered it up.

The year before the coffin was exhumed, in 1787, the Darwin family was bitten by a dog, and the threat of rabies panicked them. Also in that year, the commercial treaty between Britain and France came into effect, and Weaver

Chitwood also produced a medal for the occasion.

Later, a Scottish antique dealer planned to auction off a vase. Wedgwood was very interested in this vase. The original owner of this vase was the Duchess of Portland. She was a simple woman, but only an empty vase could completely wake her up.

and intoxicated.

A year after her death, the vase was auctioned together with a large collection. The beneficiary of the auction was her son, the 3rd Duke of Portland, who seemed to want to quickly get rid of these "stuff" collected by his mother.

Already.

There are various rumors about this vase, some think it is made of onyx rather than glass, others say it is an urn that once contained the ashes of Emperor Alexander Severus and his mother.

At that time Wedgwood was experimenting with relief sculptures on a type of ceramic he named "beryl," and this Portland vase tells the story of Peleus and Thetis, two people who fought in the Trojan War.

The parents of the hero Achilles, it was Thetis who lifted Achilles upside down and immersed him in the River Styx.

This mysterious theme interested Wedgwood, but when he received the news, the auction had ended, and the vase had arrived in Etruria. Wedgwood immediately wrote to him, hoping to borrow the vase. He would use the best

A good sculptor would use beryl, which is harder than glass, to cut it like agate.

Perhaps Wedgwood was moved by his sincerity and borrowed the vase, but the vase was as unsettling as the legend said. By midsummer of the year of the accident, Wedgwood had completed three versions of the graphic, but it was still

The original flavor he wanted was not achieved. At this time, the artists suggested reducing the transparency of the white relief bolide and letting the dark blue background color show the shadow effect.

Wedgwood's final product was dark blue instead of black, and the Portland vase is said to have been returned. Perhaps it was because of this that Wedgwood came into contact with the Etruscan civilization.

Archaeological revival jewelry was once popular in the Victorian era, including Mycenaean civilization and Cyprus, but in fact archaeologicalism had already begun to sprout in the Napoleonic era. Napoleon's youngest sister Caroline once wore Pompeii relics at a ball

Among the excavated jewelry, Georgiana also wore a Celtic shoulder strap at the welcome party at the Rouen Museum of Fine Arts. To be precise, this is not a revival of archaeology, but wearing archaeological objects on the body, as long as the wearer is not afraid.

Haunted by ghosts.

Napoleon was such a person. He wanted to look decent when he was outside. Taking Georgiana out instead of Josephine also had this purpose. However, her behavior of burning clothes in the yard just now made him look dishonorable. If it were another person,

Man, I guess he has already taken off his belt and is about to whip her.

It would be even more shameful to have it happen. When Napoleon went on an expedition to Egypt, Josephine stayed in Paris and got mixed up with a handsome cavalryman named Charles. The cavalryman named Charles got many army contracts.

If men and women remain ambiguous, problems may arise if they are not careful. Josephine is an aristocratic woman from the old times, and she can easily fall for it. Even Matilda may be deceived.

Georgiana gave Matilda's shopping list to Stanley and asked him to verify how much Matilda had spent. Of course she would not give this list to Stanley alone, but Mr. Martin also had it.

If there are too many, just think of spending money to buy a lesson.

Matilda is inferior to Sophie in every aspect, but wasn't Sophie married by Gordan and taken to Madrid?

A good maid must be taught slowly. It is the first time for both Matilda and Georgiana. But it is not the first marriage for either Bonaparte or Georgiana. The excitement is not conducive to communication.

Anyway, he was pouring wine normally, and he poured two glasses. It seemed that he planned to talk to her calmly.

Should she act hysterical? Or should she be indifferent?

It is also possible that she was found drowned at the beach the next day, just like Anne, either by suicide or by accident. The trip was interrupted by her death, and the others turned around and returned to Paris.

He put a glass of wine in front of her.

But he didn't talk to her. He took the wine and walked to the window to look at the scenery outside.

Bonaparte is really not tall, and his back cannot be described as stalwart, but his standing posture is very straight, and he looks extraordinary.

"Tell me what you are thinking now." He said without looking back.

"The crux of the problem is that the parish stewards who manage orphans sold those children to those factories like slaves. I remember that you asked the Protestant communities to set up committees to manage things in their own jurisdictions. You can't let these people use these useless people under the guise of charity.

A child without a father makes money.”

He didn't speak, still looking at the distant skyline dyed red by the setting sun.

"There was a boy. His mother gave birth to him in an orphanage. She died soon after. The boy was never loved. He later became a big devil who influenced the entire wizarding world, but the environment he was in was worse than

The orphanage is much better now. I can't..." She choked with pain. "Weaving is a woman's job. I can't work with my own hands and wear clothes made by children with peace of mind. I remember that many children don't even do it in the morning.

I can’t get up, my God, the children in those factories only sleep for a few hours, they don’t have enough to eat, and they have to compete with the pigs raised in the factory for food.”

"Let's get to the point." He said impatiently.

"It is better to find something for the church to do and let Caprara take care of it than to ask the priest who swore the Constitution to repent," Georgiana said.

He breathed out a heavy breath and turned to look at her.

"Women cannot participate in politics." She looked at Bonaparte's angry "little face" and said what he had not said.

"In the Middle Ages, the right to brew beer in big cities was a privilege reserved only for members of large guilds. Later, some small guilds also began to compete." Bonaparte said, "In 1783, Queen Catherine issued a decision

, no matter whether the guilds in Tartu, big or small, can monopolize the beer trade, widows and orphans should be allowed to brew in the future."

"What?" she asked in surprise.

"Didn't you think of this before starting the beer trade in Belgium?" he asked again.

"I have to tell you honestly, I don't." She stood up. "I just find a market for farmers' food."

"Paul I canceled Catherine's reforms, but no one in Tartu dared to directly suggest that the orphans and widowers should fend for themselves. They came up with a way to rent out the right to make wine, and the orphans and widowers would nominally continue to make wine.

But they can rent the official license to private companies. The rental income from the brewing rights provides the basic livelihood for orphans and widows. They can also find other jobs, and the income from the brewing company flows into the hands of low-income citizens in the city as social subsidies.

, what do you think of this mechanism?" Bonaparte asked.

She had nothing to say.

"You can find a city for a trial run." He said gently, "I know you are very angry..."

"I can't say that I value education while ignoring the existence of this phenomenon. I am such a person. You may not be able to stand it. Now the skirt on my body does not have tight clothes. Women have gained freedom, but if this freedom is

It's based on making children suffer..." She suppressed her anger and said, "I know a woman who died to protect her children. The man I fell in love with also protected his own students. Even you, Hortense and

Ou Ren likes you, sometimes you are a bit childish..."

"You need to calm down alone," said Bonaparte.

She curtsied to him and left.

Just like what he said, she couldn't think clearly now. If she wanted to continue communicating, she should wait until she calmed down.
