Chapter 2421 royal circus four
Chapter 2423 royal circus (6)
In Mechelen Georgiana there are almost no street lights. In contrast, gorgeous street lights can be seen everywhere on the streets of Brussels. These were brought by the Sun King Louis XIV.
Paris is a city that never sleeps, but not all European cities have as rich nightlife as Paris. Most people go home to rest as soon as it gets dark, but thieves come out at this time. 80% of crimes occur at night.
The Sun King believes that as long as street lights illuminate the streets, crime and accidents will be reduced, and it will make it easier for people to go out at night and walk under the street lights.
But the cost of maintaining street lights is too high, not only whale oil, but also the salary of lamplighters, etc. Brussels also wants to install the new gas lights in Paris and transform the existing street lights. But now they have encountered a problem, the German
Mr. Windsor and Soho were arguing over the patent issue. Although Charleroi had gas and coal, and Brussels also had its own ironworks, which could easily imitate gas lamps, they did not dare to lay them without permission. After all, Bowens had not done so before.
Equipment from British textile machines has been stolen.
In addition to Bowens, there was an Irish politician named James Napper Tandy. He was an Irish artillery commander who also participated in the American Revolutionary War. He was the organizer of the United Irish Association, and he began
In exile, he first went to Philadelphia and then to Paris, where he became a general with the help of the Directory and supported him in forming a resistance organization to fight against the British.
In 1798, he planned to participate in the return to Ireland, but he gave up the adventure before reaching the Irish mainland. He was arrested when he returned to Paris from Hamburg. Then the Hamburg people handed him over to the British, who in turn transferred him to Ireland.
After the trial, he was sentenced to death, but at Bonaparte's request he was released unconditionally and now lives in Bordeaux, France.
Originally, some French exiled nobles in Antwerp had surrendered. If Josephine was there, they could make certain demands to Josephine at the dinner table or at the dance, and regain their original official positions, fiefs or residences, just like Alembe.
Like Duke Ge.
Now the future of many of them is still hanging in the balance, and the assassination happened again, which makes the road back to Paris even more tortuous.
Chateaubriand went to the United States after graduating from high school. After returning home, he served as Louis XVI's safari attendant and witnessed the storming of the Bastille. At first he sympathized with the revolution, but after the abolition of all privileges of the nobility in 1790, he changed
Attitude, when his regiment voted to join the revolution, he chose to resign and came to the United States with a legacy left by his father.
He met George Washington and saw the magnificent scenery of North America on horseback. He spent the night beside the Niagara Falls in the arms of Mother Earth and wrote "A Journey to America", praising the Indians as the masters of the "Garden of Eden".
But the next day, he accidentally broke his arm while walking along the rapid river to see the wonders of a waterfall downstream. Fortunately, he met an Indian who rescued Chateaubriand, which made Chateaubu
Lyon was able to return to China alive and write "Adara".
After Fontana's introduction, Chateaubriand got to know Napoleon, and Fontana was also willing to protect the safety of the young exiled nobleman. This was also the reason why he took Fontana to Belgium as an adjutant this time. Chateaubriand went into exile
During this period, he stayed in Brussels. Once at a dance, Fontana asked the Belgians if they had read the book "Adala". Many people did not know.
Because of this love novel, Chateaubriand is now an idol of Parisian women and is almost a household name. Then Fontana took a copy and asked a printer in Brussels to reprint it. Edgeworth was also present at the time, chatting.
As we were chatting, the topic of Ireland’s reprinting industry came up.
The reprinting business in Ireland was booming in the past few years, but suddenly there seemed to be no news. At that time, Edgeworth was vague, and then he stopped going to dances.
Just because he avoided talking, it didn't mean that others wouldn't inquire. Later it was discovered that many Irish printers and publishers had gone to Philadelphia and England.
As the demand for cheap text from news publications and institutions increases, printing has gradually moved from being unattainable in the past to being low-end. Originally, the reprinting business in Ireland was not profitable, and with the increase in paper taxes, this business has become even more unaffordable.
Now, original novels are being published in London. In other words, the book trade in Ireland has also collapsed.
James Potter has said before that the rules are for ordinary people. With his background, even if he does not graduate from Hogwarts and is expelled midway, he will not worry too much about livelihood issues, so he and West
Rhys did whatever he wanted in school, as was the case with people of his "class".
After Lily and Severus parted ways, she did not immediately accept James Potter. After all, Lily was not Mary in the same dormitory as her.
If James Potter hadn't changed and left his original social circle, it would have been difficult for him and Lily to get together. Lily took the initiative in this relationship, even though doing so would make James a "family man"
”.
She was quite similar to Petunia in this regard. Fenon went home after get off work and rarely spent time outside, and with his body type, he didn't have much appeal left.
She didn't want to comment on Lily, which would make her look ugly. Maybe because she was also a woman, she was not affected by the charm of other women. For example, Chiara, who made all the men in the British upper class dizzy, she brought
The Italian-accented English sounded as awkward to Georgiana as the Corsican-accented French of Bonaparte.
She liked Severus's voice very much. After practice, it had become a perfect "Queen's accent", and she could hardly hear the accent of his hometown Cokeworth.
All this happened after graduation. When he returned to school, he was no longer the "underclassman" holding a butterbeer with foam on his lips.
Her mind was very unclear at times, and it was fortunate that Edgeworth could understand the meaning of what she just said. In fact, Lupe was right. He was a philanthropist and had come into contact with civilians. They had an intuitive understanding of "luxury".
"To put it more clearly, the Moon Goddess and Meng Na are like lunatics to them.
Chateaubriand wrote in "Adala": Love is a drunkenness.
When a person is drunk, will he really become bold and say the truth that he usually dare not say?
Schaptal was involved in a scandal last Christmas when a love letter he wrote to a diva was exposed by newspapers. If it had been published in the UK, his political future would have been ruined.
At that time, Georgiana was a "guest" at his home for some reason. She saw his wife's reaction with her own eyes. She couldn't be said to be indifferent, but it was not like some civilian couples who smashed plates and threw furniture. That rococo-style cozy house
The residence of the Marquis de Vasseur is elegant and luxurious, but cold.
She knew that Chaptal was opposed to the charter and believed that it hindered fair competition. Whether it was for his son's career or for other purposes, Georgiana planned to inform Matilda to add a soda water supplier. After all,
Josephine only drank mineral water. At least they took her in as a homeless person while their own family was troubled.
If Napoleon falls one day, where will she go?
As long as she thought of this terrible consequence, she had no intention of "competing for favor". The most important thing to her was that Napoleon would not fall, or at least reach the "historical" end.
What she wants is peace, not to be a "disaster".
While they were chatting in the rest area, a young man ran in in a panic. He hesitated and did not dare to approach, so Lupe stood up.
Everyone watched him talking to the young man, while Georgiana calmly drank her soda.
Edgeworth and St. Thirel looked at Georgiana and the calm Chaptard without saying a word. Not long after, Lupe came back and sat in the same position, but his expression looked a little...
gloomy.
"What happened?" Georgiana asked with concern.
"It's nothing." Lupe said with a smile, "It's just a little thing."
No one was curious to ask what the "little thing" was. Georgiana stood up and continued to visit the museum.
