The Greatest Showman - Chapter 2063

[2027 Face the reality]

“Mrs. Hall is enjoying afternoon tea next door.” The waiter whispered to George, and then, without answering, he turned and left.

Not to inform, but to remind.

If some man is dating another woman at this time, he can know in advance; likewise, in turn, someone on the other side reminds Elizabeth that this is a two-way move.

In such an aristocratic gathering, management personnel will do their best to avoid confusion and conflict, and ensure that these high-class people can enjoy a peaceful and comfortable time of relaxation. As for the blood, it is enough to stay in the gossip.

These small details in all aspects cannot be bought by money and power, but the rich and famous who are built up by the entire living environment and cultural heritage can let the waiters inform themselves through high tips, but the nobles But there is no need to remind him at all, he will spontaneously provide relevant services on all occasions he appears. This kind of dignity is precisely one of the reasons why the nobles pride themselves on being reserved and arrogant.

Of course, the waiter was also skillful in relaying the news: he merely stated the news of Elizabeth’s appearance, but did not reveal George’s condition to Elizabeth, nor did he reveal Elizabeth’s condition to George.

As for how to deal with such news, it depends on the individual.

George looked away, cut off the butt of the cigarette with a cigar cutter, then put the cigar in the humidor in the inner pocket of his shirt, and showed an apologetic smile to the little friend next to him, “Everyone, someone needs to continue to work hard, Today’s afternoon tea ends here, and we will continue on another day.”

In a self-deprecating way, he admitted that he still needs to work, and avoided putting on a high-profile attitude, but instead showed his peaceful attitude.

This is an ability that George did not have in the past, but now the situation is different. The self-confidence that bursts out from the inside makes him willing to laugh at himself, and the aura of walking with wind makes him willing to black himself. It seems that such a small Small jokes can show his big-hearted general.

Although George didn’t say much, everyone around him showed a comprehensible expression, and another wave of politeness and compliment. Under the scorching gaze, George left the smoking room like this, his steady footsteps were a little brisk, leaking The joy and happiness in his heart at this time.

“Sir Hall.”

“Sir Hall.” I

could see people passing by occasionally, and everyone smiled and nodded slightly at him, which made George’s chest firm again, that The self-satisfaction and satisfaction that burst out from the inside fills the eyebrows, and the eyebrows full of vicissitudes have become clear and bright. The unique charm of mature men is blooming in a low-key manner, bursting out a graceful mellow fragrance, which can be faintly Imagine the face when you were young, what kind of wind/flow/suffering/suave it should be.

leave the smoking room,

When they came to the afternoon tea room, George paused for a moment at the door, and nodded to the doorman, “Tell Mrs. Hall if it is convenient for me to visit.”

Elizabeth chose to appear at the afternoon tea occasion, probably to meet with a client , it may also be a gathering of female companions. In order to be polite, George still needs to “notify” instead of directly barging in; even if Elizabeth is currently in a private meeting/love/husband, the notification action will not change. , because George doesn’t want a “wang to see the king”, and then become the gossip of the whole high society after dinner, everything can be solved behind closed doors after going home, or even not solved at all, just like they have treated Renly all these years. .

The reason why George made a special trip to meet Elizabeth is because he vaguely guessed that it should be related to Renly’s award, or that Elizabeth, like him, is returning to social occasions in an all-round way, then his appearance may be harvested again. With eyes of envy and admiration, you can also show affection with Elizabeth, showing the harmonious scene of the Hall family, why not do it?

In the smoking room just now, George believed that everyone else had heard the waiter’s whispers, and his actions were also a show.

He is now, now in the smoking room, those people are talking bad about him but it doesn’t matter, what matters is that when they start talking bad, it means they are jealous, and jealousy loses, which is the best The place.

George’s attitude was different when he first learned that Renly was about to be honored.

“Reject! We have to refuse!”

When he heard the news, George’s first reaction was like this, conditioned reflex to express the real thoughts in his mind, and then he was stunned for a moment, thought carefully, moved towards Elizabeth cast a doubtful look, “Are you sure? Is this fake news? He’s that young?”

George didn’t even remember how old Renly was. He only found out after asking Philip that Renly was born in November this year. Only twenty-five years old, which made it more and more certain that George’s thoughts were likely to be fake news on April Fool’s Day, or fake news deliberately released by others to make the Halls uncomfortable.

But Elizabeth replied in the affirmative, “My source is definitely right. There have been rumors inside Buckingham Palace, even the Queen has brought it up, and she has asked, ‘Does he have a play going on in the West End’? , did you know? The Queen hasn’t been to the West End for more than five years!”

“No, no! This must never happen!” That was the only thought in George’s mind.

Now, before Renly was awarded or knighted, he had already suppressed the entire family, Arthur and Edith had already released themselves, and even Elf had left their homeland. Now only he and Elizabeth are left to hold on to the Hall’s final glory, and he will never allow Renly to destroy this glory; then, if Renly accepts the honor, he will even be crowned with the title of “Sir” If so, do they still have a place in the entire West End?

The anger began to boil, but the fear and panic gradually became more and more turbulent than the anger. That panicked timidity and dazedness made George out of control, really out of control, even at the earl of Oxford’s banquet. In the past, his emotions were not so out of control:

the feeling that the whole world had been turned upside down, even more terrifying than falling apart, could not help but have an impulse in his mind: the impulse to kill it with your own hands, the impulse to kill everything.

He didn’t know what he wanted to kill, but under the emotional trend of fear, he wanted to destroy everything in front of him, and then let himself calm down and destroy everything that scared him.

“Stop him! Philip, stop him!” George lost his temper, and he only had one thought in his mind: to kill all possibilities in the cradle.

Elizabeth was also a little irritable, and glanced at George with disdain and contempt. At the critical moment, George was even more impassive than her, “Calm down, Sir Hall, you are still a Sir, not one who has been deprived of hereditary noble title. Poor people, don’t act like a lunatic.”

The sharp and mean words made George furious, humiliated, angry, fearful, and panicked. Many emotions were stirred in his chest, and in the end he was not able to react at all. It is not his fault. Since the banquet, his dignity and pride have been falling apart bit by bit.

In just one year, his work and life have been severely hit. Although there are still some conservative and stubborn old pedants who agree with his views and support his actions, those traditionalists have begun to take a back seat. The support of George could not bring any benefit in exchange at all, which made his work show a cliff-like decline, not to mention parties or banquets, even the daily afternoon tea and smoking room invitations were running out, and then he Just like a dispensable waste person, he was abandoned in a dark corner.

Elizabeth was also able to socialize through the gallery’s platform, but George’s work was completely blocked, with little hope in sight.

Little by little, George’s temper became irritable.

At this moment, he has indeed lost the glory of his peak period, and even the etiquette of those nobles is evolving into a restraint, making him breathless; a little stimulation, his temper will erupt.

“I’m a lunatic, you’re not. Then, tell me, what should we do now, if we don’t stop him…” Before George could finish his words, he was cut off by Elizabeth, “Reject the Queen? Are you crazy?”

“Why not?” George expressed his firm stance like a bullfighter, “As long as he rejects the queen, then he can be directly on the blacklist. Do you think there will be people who will be willing to do so? Talk to

him? No, the whole high society will close the door on him. UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com ”

He wants to cut off all the vitality of Renly, he wants to cut off all the possibilities of Renly, and let the bottom of the pot be cut off.

With Renly out of the game, his career can start all over again!

With his ability, he can still regain a place in the upper class, enjoying the treatment that everyone calls “Sir”, that is his glory, that is his pride, that is his glory Don’t Speaking of Renly, not even Elizabeth or Arthur can take it away.

The more I think about it, the more excited I get, the more I think about it…George realizes that this might be his chance!

“Yes, everyone closed the door to him, then, do you think the door will be opened to us?” Elizabeth’s words were like a basin of cold water, which directly woke George up, “He rejected the queen, then, we again Where exactly is it? Has your head lost its ability to think now?”

George was dumbfounded.

Elizabeth went on to say, “He is Hall, and we are Hall, if he suffers, then we suffer too; but if he reaches the top, we also reach the summit. Remember Elf’s words? Now Hall, It’s his Hall.”
