The Happy Life of a Duchess

After about 10 minutes, Adele and others finally arrived, who were probably the security guards in this section.

Mr. Crew and Mr. Weihan had already discovered something was wrong when they heard that someone was making trouble and tried to contact them. I don't know if the neighbors around them also called for guards, or if they heard something.

After all, this is a fairly prosperous area with good law and order. It makes no sense that there will be no one to maintain this level of rioting.

However, the impact on the reputation of Adele and the magazine during this period has been irreparable, and after they arrived, they did not take the most appropriate measures to arrest or expel these people without any reason to gather together to make trouble the gangster.

Adele was dumbfounded for a moment.

She is used to the modern way. Even in modern times, if she wants to protest in groups, she still has to go through the official procedure. It takes time and organization scale to apply, and the activity can only be carried out after approval.

Otherwise, it is illegal, it is an illegal gathering, and it can be reasonably arrested.

However, even though the security personnel had arrived, they did not take reliable measures immediately.

Not to mention checking their procedures, verifying their identities, or blocking their behavior of throwing things over to destroy them, but it seems that they are not sincere and just stop there in a very "virtual" way.

"This is..." Adele narrowed her eyes slightly.

After discovering that they had the idea of ​​throwing things at the windows on the second floor or planning to throw stones and rotten leaves through the front garden fence, Jenny and the others stopped letting Adele continue to stand at the window.

They were afraid that someone would break the window, and Adele who was at the window would definitely be injured.

When the time comes to get injured and disfigured, no one dares to bear such a price lightly.

Adele herself knew that the current situation was not good, and it was not the time for her to be willful.

"Has the telegram been sent?" Adele looked at Mr. Crewe.

"Yes, it has already been sent!" He immediately agreed after hearing the sound.

Now, several people were slightly relieved.

The only thing they are lucky about is that their location is really good. There are two places in Paris that can send telegrams, one of which is not far from here. After realizing that something is wrong outside, Mr. Crewe immediately found a place around Li Suo, who is more familiar with the newsboy, took the money and went to the communication place, and according to the feedback, it had already been sent.

At present, the telegraph has just been invented not long ago, and five years is not enough time for this single-wire wired telegraph to develop to a sophisticated level.

Not to mention the high price, even the distance is short, and the number of words that can be sent is extremely limited, and you have to go to a special place-there is no multimedia news agency like Reuters, but the major telegraph companies belonging to different countries It will also set up its own telegraph office to serve all those who want to send telegrams.

In the city, if you want to communicate in a short time as soon as possible, especially to transmit information, compared to letting people run errands directly, the relatively quick way is to send a telegram.

Sending a telegram is expensive and has little content, but after a simple sentence is sent, the receiving party will immediately print out the content and deliver it to the person who wants to send it in the shortest possible time—usually by asking people to do it themselves Take it, but if it is delivered to your door, it will be another price.

If you want to seize market share in Paris, you must use other brains without taking advantage of the distance.

If you can't provide better service, then you have no other advantages compared with writing letters, so why would you choose cable telegraph?

After knowing that the information had been passed on to the Duke's father, Adele was slightly relieved.

"No, we can't delay any longer." Miss Mandela observed quietly for a while and said seriously.

"I always feel that there is something wrong with those guard soldiers." She pursed her lips.

"It's like being greeted by someone. Anyway, I didn't expel them very carefully, and I didn't do things well. I'm afraid I took this opportunity to rely on you directly, and I was caught off guard."

Miss Mandela looked at Adele, and quickly said:

"I think you should take this opportunity to leave as soon as possible. Isn't the carriage parked at the back door? Although there are some inconveniences, this side has already attracted some attention from the guards, and then find a way to attract some attention. Take this opportunity Get in the carriage and leave immediately."

"But..." Adele frowned and didn't agree immediately.

"That's right."

Mr. Wihan extinguished the pipe he was smoking, then rummaged through the house, and finally found a box of decent cigars and not-so-rare but very popular cigarettes.

"I will try to communicate with those soldiers and hooligans." Mr. Weihan smoked his pipe, and he has probably calmed down. He looks very calm now, "No man can refuse tobacco, and then I will find a way in private Give the officer some money and ask about the situation here."

Seeing that Adele's expression was still very worried, he smiled:

"Don't worry, this kind of fritters should be contacted by people like us. A noble lady like you will only suffer a lot when facing these people. It is not suitable to continue to get along with them. This is also inconsistent with your identity. Besides, I am the person in charge of the newspaper, so naturally I should come forward to deal with it."

"……What you need?"

Adele thought about it, and looked at Jenny. Jenny immediately understood, ran to her room, and brought out two bottles of red wine.

Adele has a room here, but she has never lived here before, even if she was so busy that she almost had no time, she insisted on going back to rest.

It is also a coincidence that there is red wine here. It was originally planned to celebrate after the essay competition, and it was used to drink occasionally to refresh the mind, but it turned out to be useful at this time.

There are two bottles of red wine, one strong and one mild, naturally the stronger one will please the soldiers more.

Jenny handed it to Mr. Weihan, and then returned a roll of banknotes, which Mr. Weihan did not refuse.

Most of the time, these things can be solved with money, if not, it's just that the money is not enough.

Right now, these can only be regarded as the level of little rascals, but as the saying goes, "little devils are difficult to deal with", if you don't coax these people's appetites, let alone get used to their tempers, it is necessary to build a good relationship.

At least let Adele go, not let her stay here.

Not to mention the risk of injury, after a long time, I still don't know what kind of bad name will be spread and what kind of dirty water will be poured on it.

There was still a commotion ahead, and when Mr. Weihan went out, it did cause some commotion. He did not prevent the crowd from arousing alarm, and Mr. Crewe's colleagues were rejected by him.

Mr. Weihan himself felt that he could handle it well. After about ten minutes, the noise outside was indeed reduced a lot.

They had been swearing and cursing before, and even the guards only stopped them symbolically.

Mr. Weihan went over, brought cigarettes and money, and as soon as the cigarettes were distributed, everyone smoked each other. Naturally, their mouths were not so free, and their attitudes were relatively relaxed.

So, he can naturally come forward to chat and ask.

The so-called reaching out and not hitting smiling people, not to mention that Mr. Weihan also brought a "gift".

These gangsters also take money to do things, how can they not take advantage of some things, let alone good cigarettes.

They are talking over there, and they have been paying close attention here.

Although Adele agreed to leave, she proposed to take Miss Mandela and Jenny with her.

She was worried that Miss Mandela, an unmarried lady, would stay here.

Although I know that Mr. Weihan and Mr. Crewe are there, but facing a group of gangsters, women are indeed naturally weak.

Although Adele's carriage was not the usual one and didn't have any special marks, it was still big enough to accommodate Adele, Jenny, and Miss Mandela at the same time.

The driver has already received the letter and is ready.

Several people slipped through the back door, covered by Mr. Crewe, and Mr. Wyham in front attracting attention.

Before leaving, Adele glanced at the door, the fence was almost destroyed, and the plants in the front yard were also very withered, but she was still a little apprehensive after all, although she threw rotten vegetables, leaves and stones inside, But still didn't break in directly.

Adele and the others moved quickly, and their steps were light. The back door faced the alley, and the carriage stopped at the entrance to the street.

The back door of the alley here is usually seldom used by people.

The main reason is that some people will pile up some garbage in this area, and the smell is very unpleasant. The smell of kitchen waste and so on is especially disgusting in summer. Usually, it is good to contact someone to come and clean it up in a week.

Fortunately, Adele's side, the place connected to their side, has her order, so naturally she won't just throw all kinds of rubbish into the alley at the back door so casually.

Several people endured their nausea and hurried into the carriage.

When the three of Adele got into the carriage in a hurry, everyone didn't talk nonsense, and the coachman drove immediately.

As soon as the carriage started, before it left the alley, she heard someone yelling "running away" and "there is a car". Her expression changed slightly, and the faces of the girls were not good-looking.

"Don't worry, let's go!"

Mr. Crewe yelled hastily, and the coachman only sped up when he heard it.

Someone rushed over there directly. I don't know if they wanted to come to the carriage or directly to the backyard gate to arrest people.

Mr. Crewe turned around and ran into the house, and Adele looked cold.

"I don't care about him, if he dares to rush up to stop the carriage, just hit him directly."

Before the coachman hesitated to slow down, Adele's voice had already been heard. Of course, the coachman of Juradi's family did not dare to disobey the order of the princess, and he was also very afraid that she would go out and do something bad.

It was probably because the follower didn't expect them to be so courageous. Seeing him approaching, the car didn't stop for half a minute. Seeing that the big wheel was about to overtake him, he hurriedly dodged aside.

No matter how stupid a person is, he would not make fun of his own life after receiving that little money. Even if his mouth is not clean, his behavior may not have the slightest advantage, and he would not dare to "fight" directly against the carriage.

Adele figured this out.

Jenny and Mandela hugged each other with nervous expressions on their faces. The only one who looked better was Adele herself.

Through the car window, her eyes fell on the stalker.

Although he seemed to be dressed the same as those protesting hooligans, Adele had a hunch that this person's identity should be different from those people.

——Like someone who has read a book and knows something.

The author has something to say:

The way of smoking spread from Europe to all parts of the world after the 16th century. It was Jerez, a sailor under Columbus, who first saw Cuban natives smoking. Jerez took the risk and brought smoking to Europe, becoming the first smoker in Europe. .From then on pipes of all kinds appeared everywhere, and around 1650 there were already 120 skilled pipe makers in London and 17 in Bristol.The English made pipe smoking popular and were the first to open up the sale of clay pipes; in Gouda, the Netherlands, pipes were also bought and sold.This smoking method was not until the popularization of cigarettes (cigarette) around the 19th century.

Cigarettes and cigars are both cigarettes, the main difference is that cigarettes are smaller and the tobacco is refined and shredded.Cigarettes were first popular in Turkey, where local people like to roll tobacco in newspapers for smoking.

During the Crimean War, British soldiers learned how to suck from the Ottoman soldiers at that time, and then spread to different places.

On June 1843, 6, France began to manufacture the first commercially sold cigarettes in history.
