The lecture location is located in an auditorium in Cambridge, which is probably not too large for more than 300 people. In fact, in the era of no speakers, a place with too large is of limited significance unless the acoustic design is reasonable. It is said that some generals who are naturally loud and can deliver pre-war speeches to troops of tens of thousands of people in the wilderness, which can be heard by everyone. However, this kind of natural high-power human speaker is hard to come by. At least, Scrooge does not have such high-end equipment, and most scholars who teach lectures do not have such equipment.

In addition, compared with the agitation speech before the war, the lecture time was very long, often lasting for several hours (there was a break in the middle), and there was basically no teacher-student interaction in the middle. Basically, the scholars who gave lectures continued in one word. In this way, if you were still in the wilderness and faced tens of thousands of people, even if you called those guys who were born with high-power human speakers, it would last for a few hours, you would probably not be able to hold on.

However, today, at least more than 600 people were squeezed into the auditorium, which could only accommodate 300 people. Not only were the chairs full of people, but the aisles were also crowded with people. In order to avoid heatstroke, all the large floor-to-ceiling windows decorated with stained glass in the auditorium were also open. As a result, the windows and doors were also crowded with people. Among these people, there were really interested in the speech of Scrooge's "Some Ideas for the Future Hospital" (Scrooge was a lazy person. Since Prince Albert asked him to help develop a standardized hospital structure, he simply used this as a content for lectures in Cambridge.); some were just interested in visiting the zoo to see what the so-called genius looked like; some were planning to find an opportunity to give this annoying American a problem, stump him, and make a name for himself.

Roy came to the auditorium very early, not only him, but also his father, Mr. Odd. Mr. Odd didn't know much about science, but when he knew today's speech, it might include how to avoid and overcome puerperal fever and infectious diseases such as scarlet fever, the old man couldn't sit still. You know, Mr. Odd's wife, Roy and Dorothea's mother, died of puerperal fever after giving birth to Dorothea's younger brother. Dorothea's younger brother also died of scarlet fever in just two months after his mother passed away. So, when he heard such a topic, the old man couldn't sit still.

Cambridge is a university town, Cambridge is Cambridge University, and Cambridge University is Cambridge Town. So, there are shops, hotels, theaters, and even ji institutes in Cambridge University (of course, the university will say that ji institutes belong to Cambridge Town, and have absolutely nothing to do with the university, although many of their customers are Cambridge students and teachers. Moreover, Oxford has this thing too!). The university has no walls, so there are many activities in the university, local residents, and even foreign tourists mixed in to participate. No one will care about this matter. So the old man came with his son, and they

It is impossible to leave Dorothea, who is still a child, alone in the hotel (although there is a nurse, everyone knows that the nurse can't control Dorothea at all.), but, well, sexism in Cambridge is still very serious. In activities like lectures, outsiders come in and listen to listen, but women come in and listen to it, at that time, they will be considered intolerable. So Roy had a sudden inspiration and simply dressed up Dorothea as a boy. Anyway, Dorothea is so cute, young, and has not yet shown her secondary sexual characteristics. It is not easy to see if she pretends to be a boy.

So Roy bought Dorothea a set of clothes for a little boy in the ready-to-wear store and let her wear it. What? Are you talking about Dorothea's end hanging down to her waist, which is as bright as gold in the sun, and is as smooth as a waterfall. There are many ways to cover it up. For example... nonsense! How can you cut it off? How can you come up with such an idea? You must be jealous! Don't waste your time. Even if you cut Dorothea's hair off, the mirror at your house will not say that you are the cutest little loli! The solution to the problem is very simple. First, tie Dorothea's hair up, and then put on a high top hat.

"Brother, can I wear this way?" Dorothea, who had changed into men's clothes, asked timidly. The first time wearing trousers made her feel uncomfortable.

"Well, it's so cute, so cute, he's just a boy!" Seeing her daughter dressed up as a little boy, Old Mr. Odd also laughed, "Dorothea, I didn't expect you to dress up as a boy too... Oh, by the way, now we can't call Dorothea Dorothea anymore. We want to give her a boy's name, um, what's the name..."

"Just call Toto." Roy interrupted.

"You bad brother!" Dorothea jumped up and raised her small fist high at Roy, because "Toto" was the name of a border collie in their family.

Because they arrived early, the Roy family could find a few front-row chairs to sit down. After they sat down, a while later, more and more people gradually increased. After a while, the seats around were full, and the aisle next to them began to fill up people. Roy sat on a chair leaning against the aisle, while his father sat there a little, clamping Dorothea in the middle.

They waited for a long time, and the noisy noise around them and the heat brought by many people here made Dorothea feel that she was about to faint. Fortunately, at this time, a man in a black dress walked up to the podium, picked up a small hammer and knocked on the small clock hanging next to the podium.

As the bell rang, the entire auditorium quickly became quiet. At that time, the students at Cambridge University had a very high etiquette. Well, at least, they wouldn't throw their leather shoes around if they were fine.

"Isn't this person Scrooge?" Dorothea widened her beautiful big eyes.

"Next, let us welcome our guests with applause, the discoverer of bacterial pathogenic phenomena and the conqueror of disease, Mr. Scotch McDonald gave us a speech entitled "Some Ideas for the Hospital of the Future." After saying this, the man in a black dress stepped aside and took the lead in applause, and the audience also applauded.

Dorothea saw that her brother Scrooge walked out of the back (river crab) platform and walked to the podium. He nodded to everyone, then stretched out his hands and pressed down, so the applause stopped quickly.

"Brother Scotch looks so handsome now! Even his brother doesn't seem to be as good as him, and the others are even more..." The little loli thought this way, and her face was a little hot, thinking that her cheeks must be red. So she looked around guiltily. Fortunately, everyone was staring at Brother Scotch, and no one noticed her. However, the little loli lowered her head shyly. It took a while before she raised her head.

Although she lowered her head, the little loli was still listening as seriously as possible to what Brother Scourge said. However, just like when she was on the boat, when Brother Scourge told her brother about those math problems, she still couldn't understand anything. However, strictly speaking, there was still a difference. When she was on the boat, Scourge and Roy talked about those things, and the little loli couldn't even understand a word. But here, most of the words Scourge said, such as high temperature, increased pressure, fixed procedures, strict disinfection, care, and other things, but she could understand them, but she didn't understand at all when connecting these words. But this did not prevent the little loli from thinking proudly in her heart, "Brother Scourge is amazing", nor did it prevent one little star after another from flashing out of her big eyes looking up at Scourge.

The whole lecture lasted for nearly three hours, and Dorothea didn't understand. Faced with such a long speech, and she couldn't understand what she said at all, but she could still listen with great enthusiasm, without any sleepiness or feeling impatient. Last time my father took me to listen to an opera, there were people singing on the stage, but I still slept like a piglet after only less than an hour.

After the speech, we left about half an hour to ask questions to the audience as usual. The originally quiet auditorium suddenly became lively. Some people kept muttering to each other, not knowing what they were saying; some people began to raise their hands high.

"This speech is thoughtful and meticulous in the construction of the future hospital. Just for this speech, it can be considered very outstanding." At this time, the little loli heard a few people whispering to each other in the front row.

"Well, it seems that everyone thinks that Brother Scozhi is very powerful." The little loli thought happily, and at the same time, she felt that the guys in the front row who had always blocked his sight just now seemed not so annoying. However, then she heard a few more words:

"Yes, it would be great if he was a British man, but unfortunately he was a vulgar American!" ("What's wrong with the American man? Unlike you British, they are all thieves and robbers!" The little loli scolded the guy in front of him viciously in his heart, and glared at the back of his head. If the British man had eyes on the back of his head, he would probably be so cute that he fainted by this eye attack. However, the British man had no eyes on the back of his head. So the little loli's eye attack was completely invalid.)

"Or why don't we just ask him about the rumors in the tabloid?" The guy who ignored the little loli's "Eye of Death" attack continued.

"Isn't this good? It's too ungraceful." Another guy replied.

However, at this time, when several consecutive questioners failed to stump Scozhi, someone really brought out the rumors in the tabloids.

"Mr. McDonald, there are newspapers that you use black slaves to conduct human experiments. Is this true? And what do you think about the fact that the United States still has backward and barbaric slavery?"

"You are just behind barbaric!" The little loli was extremely angry.

"This is totally nonsense." Scrooge replied, "I have always opposed slavery and believed that it is indeed a barbaric and backward system. Although this system in the United States is a historical problem, it is indeed a shame for the United States. But I believe that the American people will awaken and they will consciously abandon this inhumane system. In addition, we believe that slavery is brutal and cruel, which is the conclusion drawn by comparing the situation of slaves with our workers. As we all know, the situation of our American workers is much better than that of Europe. In my business, they even began to enjoy 8

The hourly work system. Compared with them, the situation of the slaves is indeed heartbreaking. There is indeed no slavery in Europe, but are the men, women, and even children who are responsible for the labor they cannot bear in their sweatshops. Are they not modern free slaves? Isn’t the system that allows workers to circulate machines around the machine for sixteen hours or even longer every day like donkeys that pull mills, and let these men, women and children eat worse than slaves, sleep less than slaves, and die earlier than slaves, isn’t it a modernized slavery that is actually more savage and cruel?”

Scozhi's answer made everyone present silent. Dorothea, who was full of stars, couldn't help but slap her hard while shouting: "Brother Scozhi, well said!" Then the whole auditorium became lively, and some were shouting: "Damn the red guy!" Some were shouting: "Well, you are such a good businessman with conscience!"

Scrooge also heard the initial cry of support. He forgot to go over there, but saw nothing. Because many people were already standing up excitedly, the petite Dorothea was completely blocked by them. Moreover, the little loli was in a bad mood now. She sat blankly on her chair, lowering her head, and her face was pale.

"Brother Scrooge said that he opposed slavery the most! He said that slavery is inhumane, barbaric and cruel, but... there seem to be many black slaves in Dorothea's house!"

At this time, one hand reached out and held Dorothea's trembling little hand. Dorothea raised her head and saw her father's loving face.

"Child, your brother Scozhi is right, he is indeed qualified to accuse slavery. In fact, your father and your brother have long had the idea of ​​giving our slave freedom, but they are worried about the discussions of other neighbors. I decided that when we return from Europe this time, we will give all slaves freedom."

"Is this true?" The little loli looked at her father and then at her brother.
