[Comprehensive] The daily life of Miss Downton Fourth
Chapter 55 Levinson
Cora is from the Levinson family in the United States, unlike Crowley who can count dozens of generations of earls casually, and has a stable position in the UK.
Levinson's fortune came from Cora's father, who earned that fortune for his family.The status is because Cora married the earl and jumped from a third-rate family to a first-rate family, becoming a truly powerful family in the United States.
Cynthia's grandmother, Martha, is a typical American, bluffing and speaking without restraint, and her dress is even more domineering.Before Isabel, Martha was the old lady's No. 1 pick. In her eyes, Americans were savages who didn't know the rules.
And Cynthia's uncle, Harold, can say even more.When Cora's youngest daughter is almost an adult, Harold is still playing in the world.He is a typical playboy, lingering in the flowers but never staying.
Cynthia got off the ship with the flow of people, and the first-class passengers entered New York very quickly. When the second-class passengers were waiting in the office, the first-class passengers had already stepped into the land of New York.However, people in the third class have to undergo repeated inspections, infectious diseases, and whether they have criminal records. These must be checked clearly before they can enter the United States.
When Cynthia came out, Harold leaned on the cool sports car and waited for her for a long time.
"Oh ho, let's see where this little princess is from. Did you have a good trip? I hope the Titanic incident didn't make the group of Brits afraid of the cruise ship."
The wind lifted the tassels on Cynthia's wide hat, and she let them fly, looking up at the New York sky.
"If you really like it, you can stay longer. When I said that I want to teach you how to do business, you have to learn some kind of medicine. How much money a doctor can earn is hard work."
Harold is not a good-looking person, and he is even a little short in height, but this does not prevent him from being popular.As for whether those people are looking at his money or his people, they have to make a good judgment.But Harold's flamboyant temperament was tempered by them, and he always had an inexplicable self-confidence.
"Uncle, my father's hairline is a bit better than yours. Did you secretly drink British water? Just like that, do you still believe that the girls around you are true love?"
The complaints were caught off guard, but fortunately, Harold was used to Cynthia like this.He bent down and got into the car, and Cynthia took off her hat and got into the co-pilot.
"Your uncle has nothing else. What's wrong with being surrounded by those people about the money. Anyway, there will be no illegitimate children. Whether the Levinson family has an heir is not a matter of my concern. Life should be happy. "
Cynthia tilted her head and smiled: "Happiness is the main thing, so I don't want to do business to make money. I prefer to be a doctor."
Harold shook his head deliberately disappointed, "It seems that Levinson is destined to have no heirs, so I will spend all the money before I die."
"By the way, the stocks you mentioned before are really going up well. Do you want to meet the manager this time?"
Cynthia rested her chin on her right hand and tapped her temples with her fingers.
"Well, I might have to take some out."
Harold turned the steering wheel in his hands, and asked her inexplicably, "Why are you withdrawing money? You are short of money recently, so you can find your uncle. Let your grandmother know that she will use your money when she comes to the United States. I will be so distressed."
When Cynthia lived in the United States, she invested in several stocks, and Harold has been taking care of them since she left.Harold is not like his father in character, but he has inherited the talent for doing business well.Harold has always looked down on the way the British avoid talking about money. Doesn't it feel good to be rich?
"Help a friend."
Harold raised his eyebrows and didn't ask when his niece met a financially stressed friend.Instead, he reminded: "As a rich man, I would like to remind you that friendships involving money should be more cautious. Some things are better distinguished. You don't want to go back to the old manor for a year and your character will be assimilated by those British. How could it be so What a selfless help, even if the Levinson family and the Crowley family are related by marriage, we may not necessarily give Downton any support."
Cynthia knew that part of this was because when Cora married Downton, she was forced by the old man to sign a treaty merging the property and the manor.The Levinson family has indeed paid enough for Downton, and of course they got a lot, but continuing to invest is not in line with the character of a businessman.
"Then it seems that I have to work hard to make money and prepare for unknown difficulties."
Harold glanced at her disapprovingly: "What does that manor have to do with you? I heard that the new heir is also here. The money you earn is used to live a good life. You can buy whatever you want with the money you earn, and you can also lend it to friends." Okay, what's the use of putting it in that manor? Will Robert give you half of it?"
He said this from Cynthia's point of view. Britain is different from the United States. A daughter with brothers can never become an heir.Of course, those who have no brothers may not be able to inherit, so why did Cynthia invest money in it, listen to it?
"Please, you know Dad doesn't want Downton to be split. It's just where I grew up and I want it to stay."
The two chatted and drove to Levinson's mansion in New York. Compared with Downton's heavy precipitation, Levinson's home is much more magnificent.No way, Cynthia's grandmother liked this exaggerated decoration style.
Martha came up and gave Cynthia a hug and pressed a kiss to her cheek.
"Dear Sisi, New York would be a lot boring without you."
Cynthia admired Martha's new hairstyle and praised: "The new hairstyle suits you very well, Martha. What's the matter, hasn't anyone asked you out recently? I thought you had opened several times in the villa in Newport It's party."
Martha scratched Cynthia's nose at her mouth, but she was not angry.Compared to Mary's carrying and Edith's silence, Martha still prefers Cynthia and Hippel, of course.
Mary and Edith are typical British-educated ladies, even if they don't talk about their behavior, they also look down on foreign countries.Sippel is okay, but his character is not yet finalized, and he is not very rebellious against the head of the family, Robert.
Cynthia was different, she had resisted since childhood.Since the family teacher came to the United States, she can do whatever she wants, but this is also the reason why Cora let it go.Presumably she also hoped that one of her daughters would inherit the American part of her character.
The two sat together and talked about Cynthia's life back in England, and when she heard that she had entered medical school, Martha showed the expression she should have.
"If Robert agreed with you to stay in the United States, you would have been able to study here long ago. Why go to the UK, the policy here is much looser, rigid British people."
Cynthia recalled her past life, but felt that it would be good to go back to England, at least she knew a lot of people.Mr. Holmes, Dr. Watson, Mrs. Hudson and Joanna are all lovely people.
Harold walked in with an address slip, and he asked people to collect the information of these two people by the way.Harold took a brief look at it just now, and he didn't understand how Cynthia knew these two third-class survivors of the Titanic.
Cynthia took the note after thanking Harold. They didn't live in New York but went to California.
"Los Angeles?"
Harold nodded: "I heard that Ruth Dawson has acted in several unknown movies as an actor."
Cynthia has almost forgotten the plot after the Titanic, and Ruth must have had a difficult time in order to make a living.
"Did Jack not go? I thought he would be discovered. After all, his face should be very popular in Hollywood."
Harold asked strangely: "Is he a comedic talent?"
Only then did Cynthia realize that there was a movie that hadn't appeared yet.The silent film period has always been a lot of comedy, the most famous comedian is Chaplin.In this era, maybe Jack's road to fame is really blocked, it's a pity for that face.
For this meeting, Cynthia did not notify those two people in advance.When she stood outside that street, she seemed to have returned to the day when she went to the slums to find Jack.
Jack was about to move the painting equipment home, and he couldn't help thinking about that day after seeing the familiar figure from behind.
"Hey, what are you thinking, lady. You are very powerful. We have all come to the United States, and we have all managed to avoid Hockley."
Some paint was stained on Jack's shirt, which should have been stained when he was just painting.
There was no disappointment on his face, as if after experiencing the Titanic, he still had a very high enthusiasm for life.As if living in this world, it is worthwhile to experience all kinds of different lives.
"It means I'm better than Hockley. Speaking of which, I've even met his ex-fiancée."
Jack was not surprised by this, he had mentioned Cynthia to Ruth before.Ruth thought that Cynthia was no different from ordinary noble ladies. After hearing the image Jack said, she almost suspected that they knew the same person.
At that time, Ruth felt that it was a pity that she didn't have a deep friendship with Cynthia before. If given the chance, they should become like-minded friends.
"Come in, Ruth will be over in a moment."
Jack took Cynthia into their residence, although it was small, it was very cozy.It can be seen that the hostess is a person with a great interest in life, and the decorations are all acceptable to choose the most tasteful one.
"So, you are married? The kind with legal effect?"
Jack nodded without hesitation. There are several chances in life to encounter the Titanic incident. Since they all survived, they must live well.
An indescribable excitement surged in Cynthia's heart, just like the surprise of being together with a cp that fans chased after suddenly.Jack didn't die at sea, and Ruth didn't have to miss him for decades. Is there a better ending than this?
So what if life is poor, Ruth has been liberated from that oppressed life.She is more willing to pursue freedom than money.
Cynthia took out a letter and a check from her purse, and she pushed both of them in front of Jack.
"As a gift to congratulate you on your marriage, this is a letter of recommendation. You can take it to knock on the doors of those universities. You have to have at least one of hard work and talent to become a great painter and be known by people. This check is I lent it to you, and you can repay the debt with paintings after you become famous."
Jack and Cynthia's friendship had never been about money, and Jack knew who she was and never asked for help.At this time, she came to the door with these things. Any investment is risky, let alone people.
Maybe Jack's painting style was not accepted by people until his death like Picasso, but Cynthia still came.Jack wanted to ask Cynthia why on earth she did these things for them.
Cynthia saw what he was thinking, and murmured softly: "I just admire Miss Ruth's courage, you deserve a better future."
