"Tony, this is the famous actor Mr. Booth, John Wilkes Booth!" Douglas introduced Tangning at Marshall's cocktail party.
When Tangning heard the name "Booth", he felt it was very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it. What made him even more unexpected was that Booth seemed to be very familiar with him: "Oh.
, so you are Mr. Tangning!"
"Um, Mr. Booth, do you know me?" Tangning asked in surprise.
Booth nodded and replied, "Well, I often hear Hope mention Mr. Downing."
"Hope? Miss Hope Solo?" Tangning asked tentatively.
"That's right, it's Hope. We have worked together several times. She told me about her experience of meeting Mr. Downing. It was very interesting!" Booth explained.
Through Hope, Tangning thought of Broadway, and combined with Booth's identity as an actor, Tangning finally thought about why she felt that the name Booth sounded familiar to her. Wasn't this guy the assassin who assassinated Lincoln!
It is said that during the Civil War, Booth and several friends planned to kidnap Lincoln and exchange them for Southern prisoners of war. However, the plan was abandoned before the action was even started. In the end, he did not expect that Lincoln actually went to the theater where he performed every day to watch a play, and then
Let him seize the opportunity and shoot Lincoln unexpectedly.
Thinking of this, Tangning immediately became enthusiastic. After all, he was also a historical figure, and he thought a little bit dirty. If he could kill Lincoln now, maybe the war would not come, or at least it could be postponed a little bit.
So Tangning gave a cooperative smile and said, "But I believe that the beginning of Miss Solo's story will definitely not have anything nice to say about me!"
Hearing what Tang Ning said, Booth was stunned for a moment, and then laughed dumbly and said: "Mr. Tang Ning, you are right, but understanding between people always requires a process, and I really think that Mr. Tang Ning, you are looking for
The Hope Show is such a great idea!”
"Thank you for your understanding. How is Miss Solo doing lately?" Tangning asked casually.
"Very good, she should be participating in the rehearsal of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" now." Booth replied. (Shakespeare's more famous light comedy)
After chatting for a while, Tangning cut to the chase and asked, "Mr. Booth, do you know Mr. Lincoln?"
Booth glanced at Douglas, who was chatting with Congressman Marshall in the distance, and replied with a smile: "Of course I know him. He was Steven's opponent when he ran for Congress. Steven almost lost at that time."
"Then have you ever thought about what will happen if he is elected as the next president..."
Before Tangning could finish her words, Booth interrupted: "Lincoln was elected president? How is this possible? Mr. Downing, you really know how to joke! Not to mention the president, I guess he can't even be a Republican candidate!"
Tangning did not rush to refute, but took advantage of the situation and asked: "The chance of Lincoln being elected president is small, but what if? What if he is really elected as the next president?"
Booth thought for a moment, then frowned and said slowly: "If he is really elected president, it will be troublesome. With his consistent remarks, he is really likely to be like the one he had with Steven
When I ran for Congress, not only would we not allow slavery to continue, but we would also allow these black slaves to have the same rights and status as us. Oh my God! This is simply terrifying!"
Although Tang Ning had long known that Mr. Booth was a fanatical hard worker, this meant that he had not caught up with the Ku Klux Klan, otherwise he must have been a key member of the Ku Klux Klan. Thinking of the Ku Klux Klan, Tang Ning suddenly had an idea.
In fact, this is also a way. When the war really breaks out, stir up the anger in the hearts of those guys who hate black people in their bones and let them cause trouble for the Northern Army in the rear. Although it may not affect the situation of the war, it will definitely be able to
play a part role.
At this time, Booth asked Tangning: "Mr. Tangning, why do you ask that? Did you hear something?"
Downing nodded and replied: "Well, as far as I know, the Republican presidential candidate this time is Abraham Lincoln, because many states have already expressed their full support for him, especially Ohio!"
He said this because in his memory, in the end, it was the Ohio representatives who voted all their votes for Lincoln, which allowed him to defeat William Seward!
"If this is really the case, that would be terrible! No, I can't just sit back and watch this happen!" Booth muttered to himself.
Although Tangning was curious about what Booth would do to prevent this from happening, his rationality told him that it was best not to ask, let alone get involved. It would be enough to arouse the desire in his heart.
So Tangning put down the future assassin of the United States' first president who was frowning and thinking hard, picked up her glass of wine and complimented the socialite Olivia-Julie who was passing by: "Miss Julie, you are so beautiful today!
"
"Thank you! By the way, do you think this necklace is beautiful?" Julie picked up the necklace around her neck and asked Tangning.
Tangning was very surprised by Julie's question, because he didn't know why Julie would ask her this. Although he had heard of Julie's name before, this was the first time he saw her today, so why would he ask himself this question?
kind of problem?
Perhaps sensing Tangning's confusion, Julie prompted: "Mr. Tangning, don't you think this necklace looks familiar?"
Tangning looked at it carefully and then replied: "It seems that I have seen it somewhere before, but Miss Julie, you also know that we men don't pay that much attention to these jewelry!"
Julie chuckled and said: "Well, it's not difficult for you. In fact, this necklace belongs to Danina!"
"Do you know Danina?" Tangning asked in surprise.
Julie nodded and replied: "Yes, and we are still good friends!"
Tang Ning thought to herself that of course you two must be good friends, otherwise how could Danina lend you her necklace.
At this time, Julie added: "Actually, the reason why I borrowed this necklace from Danina is because there is no necklace of this style and style in New Orleans. Danina brought it from London."
Then he leaned close to Tangning and whispered: "The second and most important thing is, I really like the story about the necklace that you told Danina, Mr. Tangning!"
