It seemed that Phyllis regarded Roark's home as her own and lived there comfortably.
Based on this, Henry also openly occupied a room under the guise of protecting Phyllis.
Rock tried to object, but the objection was ineffective. After spending the night at Rock's house, Henry never returned to his kennel. Doesn't the dog dislike the family's poverty?
nonexistent!
"Listen to me Roark, sell me the house, I won't let you suffer a loss, how about 500 pounds?" Whenever there is a chance, Henry will lobby Roark, and the price has increased from the original 200 to 500.
If it was just Henry alone, then maybe Henry could continue to live together as before, but not with Phyllis. Even though Henry and Phyllis often hurt each other, Henry would definitely not want to let Phyllis live.
In such an environment, even though Henry would not admit it, it had become a habit to dote on Phyllis. Otherwise, Henry's first reaction after knowing that Phyllis had escaped from marriage would have been to inform her father instead of helping Phyllis hide it.
.
"500 pounds? You're probably dreaming. Not to mention that the original value of the house was more than 1,000 pounds. After I took it over, I added buildings and improved the feng shui. Do you know what feng shui is? It's a mysterious technique to increase good luck. Don't you
Didn't you realize that I have been having good luck since I bought this house? How much do you think this is worth?" Rock doesn't know how to sell it. After selling the house, Rock has no reason to come back at any time. How good it is now, although
Still living in the dormitory, but Rock can come back at any time to enjoy himself.
What's more, some things are really hard to explain, such as Feng Shui, which is very magical. Although Roque doesn't really believe in this stuff, in the eyes of others, it is true that since Roque bought this house, Luo
It's hard to explain that Ke has been blessed with good luck.
"1000? I'm afraid you're just dreaming. You only spent 100 to buy this house. Now you're making five times more, and you're still not satisfied?" Henry knew how much Rock had spent to buy the house, and he also knew the value of the house.
How much, but will Henry let Rock get his wish?
dream!
"Brother Henry, do you have 1,000 pounds?" Phyllis was a little curious. 1,000 pounds was not a small amount. Phyllis and Henry's father worked as director of the Department of Colonial Affairs and only earned 1,000 pounds a year.
This can also explain why Henry, a guy who was expelled from the army, can still work in the Cape Town Police Department. According to convention, the Cape Colony government does not recruit anyone with stains. Being expelled from the army is not necessarily due to crime.
But it's definitely a stain.
"Eat your food!" Henry never used false words to Phyllis in his daily life. He was truly like a father to his third brother.
Yes, Rock, Henry and Phyllis are having breakfast. Since Henry and Phyllis moved in, Rock sometimes comes back to have breakfast. Otherwise, eating alone would be too lonely.
Especially, when one person uses a long dining table for twelve people to have breakfast.
The variety of breakfast is definitely not as rich as afternoon tea, but the taste is pretty good, the milk and eggs are very fresh, not to mention other things.
Phyllis puffed her mouth and wanted to refute Henry, but rolled her eyes and said nothing.
"A good news or a bad news, which one should you listen to first?" Henry asked Rock to choose.
"Is it okay if you don't listen?" Rock didn't want to be fooled.
Phyllis laughed out loud, and Henry was furious. He banged the table, and the tableware on the table clinked loudly: "No, you have to listen even if you don't want to. The good news is from Hua Yong."
The commandos hired by the battalion are about to arrive. The bad news is that as soon as they arrive, the commandos will begin to perform some military tasks. But don't worry, I can't run away this time. I want to go with you, but you
You know, you are actually in charge. If I were to give the command, I would only be doing a disservice."
Military mission?
mmp, those old turtles in the military really have bad intentions. Henry criticized "linear tactics" in the newspaper. Those old turtles didn't say anything in words, but they were honest in their bodies. They directly transferred the commandos to the front line. Come on, come on.
, I’ll give you the gun. If you have the ability, come and fight!
It's such a lucky reincarnation. Rock originally thought he was hiding behind him and Henry would hold him up when the sky fell. He didn't expect that Henry wasn't big enough when the sky fell and no one could escape.
"Is the news confirmed?" Although he was mumbling in his heart, Roque still had a smile on his face, and his hands to tear the bread were very steady, with even speed and force.
Well, Anna’s skills are really hard to describe, so I’d better eat the bread soaked.
"I'm sure this is the news Director Russell got from the Governor's Mansion. The expeditionary force is going to deal with the Boers and they can't spare the troops to escort supplies, so our police station is asked to be responsible for escorting supplies to the front line. This is not a combat mission, but it is dangerous.
Because the Boers are attacking our transportation lines, but you know, in the entire police station, only the commando team has certain combat capabilities." Henry also had a big head. If Phyllis hadn't been present, I believe Henry would have cursed loudly.
It is indeed worthy of criticism. The Cape now has 250,000 expeditionary troops, of which the Cape Colony has more than 35,000 servants. With so many people, there is still no manpower to deliver supplies to the front line. The total number of troops is only 600.
If the Cape Town Police Department redeploys more people, not only Henry, but also Police Commissioner August Russell would want to curse.
Of course, Henry had nothing to say. The delivery of supplies was just an excuse. It was probably true to retaliate against Henry for his lies in the newspapers. August Russell probably understood this, so he did not object, because if he objected, he might incur consequences.
The military retaliated more violently.
"No, Brother Henry, you can't go, I won't let you go!" Phyllis's eyes widened, it was unbelievable that the war was actually so close to Cape Town.
"Phyllis, eat your food!" Henry said the same thing this time, but this time he was extremely gentle.
With tears in her eyes, Phyllis lowered her head and stopped talking. Born in a noble family, Phyllis knew that this was a fate that she could not escape.
It is really fate. The lobster soldiers on the battlefield queue up to be shot. The most dangerous thing is not the soldiers in the queue, but the officers leading the charge in front of the queue. These people are generally the children of the nobility. In peacetime, they enjoy the benefits of aristocratic status to them.
During the war years, they had to prove with their lives that they were worthy of the privileges they had.
"Well, how big will the commando force be expanded to?" Since the order can no longer be changed, Roark must find a way to gain some benefits.
"You can be as big as you want. This time, a total of 80 people were transferred from Huayong Camp. I organized them into the commando team. If there is not enough manpower, we can also transfer Indian police officers and Boer police officers." Henry also said.
He is very good at bargaining, and if he succeeds again this time, Henry can be promoted to superintendent.
Maybe Roark can also win over a trainee inspector.
