The Nineteenth Century Didn't Believe in Love[Comprehensive]

The rehearsal of "The Harlequin" is proceeding step by step, and her regular coachman John has already bid farewell to her—after being exposed by Holmes, Carlotta always has a strange feeling when looking at John.

The British who came to France to carry forward the spirit of the republic... Carlota felt that this identity was more terrifying than being able to like a British detective.At least it was a random event that she fell in love with a certain Mr. Detective, but this one came to France with a purpose.

Then the question is, does he also approach him with a purpose?Carlotta thought for a while, feeling that he had nothing to be moved.

She is just an ordinary person, but she has a soprano identity, which is a little special. There should be nothing that makes this John look good.

"You really haven't, but you are a very good retreat." Holmes just wanted to laugh when he knew Carlotta's thoughts, but he seemed to notice something changed into a cough: "I still remember the first time I saw When he was, he was hostile to me and John, I mean Watson."

"why?"

"Two British men came overnight looking for a soprano who had previously made a big splash in the UK, and it was clear he was too right and too wrong when she welcomed them."

Holmes paused for a moment, and his expression became more subtle: "As a male, I understand his kind of hostility. But when he obviously has no love for you, this kind of hostility becomes special." .”

"what do you mean……"

"This kind of self-confidence as if knowing that you will help him is why I feel that he has a problem."

The coachman named John was too sure and too calm.If the hostility he generates is not based on love between men and women, he can often only guess at the worst.

Carlota sighed, now that John is gone, so these speculations can be put down first: "I think my safety can still be guaranteed."

She is an artist, and an artist with many followers, no matter how big the storm is outside, it will not be able to go to her for the time being.

"But anyway, Sherlock, that's another reason why you want me to go to England, isn't it?"

"The biggest reason is because I want to go back to the UK with you and tell some of my friends that I am not purely single as they think, but have fallen in love."

Carlota snorted, feeling that his face seemed a little hot: "It's not impossible, but temporarily impossible."

"When will it be possible?"

"you guess?"

"What a dishonest lady." Holmes complained. Seeing Carlotta's stubborn face, he suddenly understood what was going on and smiled a little: "But if the time is not long, I think I can still wait. .”

The weather gradually warmed up with the passage of time, and the rehearsal of "The Harlequin" also began to draw to a close.Carlota chose "The Harlequin" on the one hand because he likes Leon Cavallo's talent, on the other hand, the style of "The Harlequin" is not much different from the previous Phantom. In short, there is no particularly pure love, especially The relationship is mixed with the special emotional line of the hero's wife wanting to elope with someone else. If Leon Cavallo hadn't said that it was based on real events, she would have thought it was another Phantom work.

Every theater has its own characteristics, and people who come to Paris People's Theater to watch operas also have their own preferences, so Carlotta chose "The Harlequin" as a transition, with a similar but different style to the Phantom. By the way, I hope that the theater can transform under the leadership of Raoul in the future.

"At least don't come to other people's wives to fall in love with the little wolf dog and then decide to elope."

Carlotta complained to Mrs. Gilly in the dressing room: "This is so boring, isn't it tired after so many years? Although Leon Cavallo is very good and writes this old-fashioned routine very well. It's innovative, but it can't hide the fact that this opera is essentially a derailment."

"You should know that's what the audience wants to see."

"Come on, it's not what they want to see if it happens to themselves, so they just look at others for fun."

Mrs. Gilly showed a little smile on her pale face. She has not been in good health for a while, especially after the Phantom left, she suffered from a serious illness, but she recovered fortunately in the end: "Your words have always been very good. It's sharp."

"if not?"

Carlota smiled softly, and heaved a sigh of relief after seeing the makeup on his face slowly removed to reveal his original face: "This is the last time I put on makeup, after that I will perform."

"Are you nervous?"

If she wanted to tell her that she was nervous, the whole theater wouldn't believe it.Carlotta simply didn't answer, and looked at himself in the mirror with a smile: "Mrs. Gilly, after the premiere of "The Harlequin", Raoul will get married."

Mrs. Gilly paused for a moment while helping Carlota send her hair, looking at her expression with some doubts: "So?"

"After that, you leave Paris."

Carlota put his fingers up on his mouth, without a trace of expression on his face: "Go to the United States."

"why?"

"Because Raoul decided to open up the market in the United States." Carlota smiled, and said an excuse that no one would believe: "He needs someone who can inspect it in advance, and you are a very good choice."

"what do you mean……"

"Mrs. Gilly, you are very prestigious in the theater, and you are also good at ballet. You are a very good pathfinder."

Carlota reached out and patted the back of Mrs. Gilly's hand. No one was referred to in the words, but both of them knew what each other meant: "Not to mention you can go out for a walk, right? You have paid a lot for the theater, It's also a special opportunity to relax and unwind."

Give away as much as you can get out of this Paris.This was the decision Carlota made after discussions with Holmes and Raoul. Of course, she still did not agree to the small request of going to England.

"You...don't blame me?"

"Why blame someone who shouldn't? And you don't want your little Meg to suffer from disease, Mrs. Gilly."

The cholera had begun, and this new year was accompanied by a strong smell of death, Mrs. Gilly could not have been unaware.Carlota could feel the stern ballet teacher's breath short before murmuring his thanks.

"If I may, you and the gentleman from England . . . "

"No, I'm staying here."

Carlota sometimes felt that she was a little too stubborn, but she still had people who were equally worried.As for whether I will die because of my illness or the so-called uprising?

When Carlota walked out of the theater, he covered his mouth and nose with a mask, thinking about the roles he had played, the expression on his face suddenly became weird.

"What's wrong Carlotta?"

"Sherlock, let's tidy up."

After sitting in the carriage and taking off her mask, Carlotta had an overly weird expression on her face, facing Sherlock Holmes's tangled face: "I am famous as Eurydice of Orfeo, she is a woman who was taken away. woman."

"..."

Holmes felt that he might understand what the soprano was thinking, but he continued to signal the other party to continue: "Carmen... well, I think everyone who has seen it knows that she died at the knife of her former lover."

"The Phantom's "Faust", let's not talk about it." The only comedy is not counted, Carlotta waved his hand in disgust: "After that, there is Neda in "The Harlequin", all of them died by men's knives , which is a bit unlucky."

"You can consider acting in a comedy later, such as "The Marriage of Figaro."

"But comedy is less touching than tragedy."

"Then you might be the soprano who realizes that all of her representational roles have died as soon as someone mentions it."

Carlotta felt like he wanted to smack someone.

Feeling Carlotta's expression, Holmes's smile became narrower: "This is also a name that will go down in history, isn't it?"

Facing the detective's obvious schadenfreude, Carlotta felt that he was a little angry, so he could only press his temple with a headache: "Why am I always not angry with you? Even in my heart They all have the idea of ​​'Sherlock said that there is nothing wrong with that'?"

"Maybe it's because you're in love with me."

"Then Sherlock, do you think this kind of love is mutual?"

"I think so."

"It's true that love makes people stupid, and there's nothing wrong with it."

"..."

Carlotta, who had a victorious exchange with a smart Englishman, only felt refreshed. When he returned to the apartment, Carlotta looked at the young man who was obviously standing at the door waiting for him, and even the smile on his face still did not disappear. , but the smile on his face was much more complicated than the pure happiness just now: "I knew he would definitely come."

"Do you want him to come in?"

"Do not want to."

Walking out of the carriage holding Holmes' hand, Carlotta looked at the coachman with his head down and showed a mocking smile: "I cherish my life very much, and my fate is no better than that of my teacher, Mr. John .”

"Or, even John is not your real name, right? But let me call you Mr. John, or the founder of the ABC Friends Club, the student leader of the Republican Party, and Mr. Unknown, who has outstanding political vision? "

The author has something to say: A reader girl found out that John is not French, and she said that it is true, and his identity is also very subtle. If Lotta gets closer to him, he will definitely be gg

Why Lotta doesn't want to go to the UK, it's purely a matter of face now [hello] not after [.
