The friendship between women is so incredible. Before they boarded the ship, Phyllis and Ada were still inseparable. Less than ten days after boarding the ship, the two were already inseparable.
Of course, this has a lot to do with Ada's deliberate efforts to please. Don't underestimate the banker's communication skills. They are really better than Phyllis.
The two brothers Arthur and Gavin also played a big role. I have to say that blood relationship is a wonderful thing. Since the relationship between Phyllis and Ada improved, Arthur would come to Gavin every day, brother.
Sometimes the two of them would sit together and talk for an entire afternoon, talking in words that neither of them could understand. Phyllis and Ada were happy to be quiet, and they had more and more words in common.
In fact, both of them have received elite education since childhood and have many common interests. Although Ada is a widow, she is also a lady from a famous family. In an environment like Cape Town, Ada can survive and has many advantages.
Phyllis was so impressed.
Not to mention Phyllis. If Ada hadn't been so worried and refused to disclose her relationship with Roque, Phyllis probably wouldn't have had a chance. Now looking back at the original situation, Ada also admires Felice.
Liz's decisiveness and persistence in love.
On September 20th, Roque returned to Johannesburg. The Transvaal general election had been completed and the Liberal Party successfully won. Philip, as the candidate launched by the Liberal Party, became the Prime Minister of the Transvaal. The mayor of Johannesburg was replaced by someone who has a relationship with Roque.
Good former tax commissioner Marcus Beaufort.
Roark did not stop in Johannesburg, but took Phyllis and Gavin directly to Pretoria to meet Philip.
"Locke, it's really yours, have you heard? Harry Alsop has been deprived of his title now, and he has gone crazy in prison -" Henry was very happy when he saw Locke, if not for Harry Elso
Thorpe hurried back to London, Philip would not win so easily.
In Pretoria, the Lieutenant Governor Harry Alsop still has some weight. Before Adelaide left office, the National Party's support rate in the polls was about the same as that of the Liberal Party. As a result, because Henry slipped and fell into the water, Harry Alsop
Alsop hurried back to London, and the good situation collapsed instantly. The National Party fell apart and now no longer exists.
Roark did not expect that the result would be like this. Henry Alsop deserved it, and Harry Alsop and the National Party were the ones who suffered. However, Roark did not take any credit and kept a low profile on this issue.
"This has nothing to do with me. Harry Alsop wants to kill me. I can't just stand there and let him kill me." Rock would never admit that this matter had anything to do with him.
As the police chief, Henry had the authority to park the carriage directly on the train station platform. Rock and his party got on the carriage and went directly to Philip's official residence.
Coincidentally, Philip's official residence is the castle that Christian found for Roque.
Now that the Pretoria Finance Bureau has a new office, the castle has been vacated as Philip's official residence and the headquarters of the Liberal Party in Pretoria.
In the carriage, Henry talked about the Transvaal after Adelaide left office, and his disappointment was palpable: "You may not know that Earl Selborne's term of office has begun for more than a month, but he has been in Cape Town.
I didn't come to Pretoria. I was said to be recuperating in Cape Town. Pretoria is in chaos now. After Governor Milner left, the work of the Government House came to a standstill. Fortunately, now that there is the Prime Minister's Office, work is finally coming to an end.
It is slowly recovering, but it is obvious that people's attitudes are a bit negative and they no longer have the enthusiasm for work when Governor Milner was in office."
Adelaide's prestige in the Transvaal is indeed unmatched. If a democratic representative system is implemented in the Transvaal, then Adelaide is the most suitable candidate for prime minister. It is a pity that Adelaide does not want to stay in the Transvaal, so
Philip was pushed to the stage.
The image brought about by Adelaide's departure is immeasurable. As the founder of the Transvaal, many officials in the Transvaal were promoted by Adelaide single-handedly. Including Roark and Henry, they all have great respect for Adelaide.
Thank you very much. Now that the Prime Minister is replaced by Philip, it will definitely have no impact on Roque and Henry, but it may not necessarily affect others. Philip has to adapt to the new environment, and other officials also have to adapt to Philip's way of working.
One thing that is certain is that Philip is not a workaholic like Ade.
When Ade was in office, he was very hands-on in all matters, no matter how big or small; Philip was more like ruling by doing nothing, rarely interfering in the specific work of his officials, which was bound to cause some officials to slack off.
"This is the old man's job. It has nothing to do with us. We just have to do our job well." Roque is not in a hurry. Labor pain is unavoidable. Fortunately, Ade's determination has now been loosened. When South Africa forms a federation in the future, Ade will still be there.
Come back if you have the chance.
Rock will not tell Henry about this situation yet. Although Henry is also very grateful to Adelaide for his promotion, Henry's attitude on this issue is still unclear. If Adelaide comes back, Philip will be most affected. When Henry arrives,
What he will do when the time comes, Rock is still not sure.
"The old man is very strict. In less than a month after arriving in Pretoria, he has already gone to the police station twice. Once I was not there, he ended up waiting for me in my office. Fortunately, Mars was smart and timely.
Call me." Henry is still scared when he thinks about it now. He probably didn't do anything good at that time.
Mars is Henry's guard captain, just like Twain beside Rock.
What's interesting is that Mars is not a serious policeman, but Henry's friend when he was a boy. Unlike Henry, Mars is not from a noble family, and he did not become famous when he grew up. Later, he learned that Henry was named Favard.
Baron, he came all the way to find Henry to make a living.
Henry was very interesting. He arranged Mars by his side and gave Mars a home in Pretoria, so Mars was very loyal to Henry.
Rock's mouth opened, and he didn't know how to complain about Henry's behavior. To say that Henry is now the police chief and an imperial baron, but his actions are becoming more and more out of tune, which is simply more outrageous than before.
Thinking about it this way, Philip came to Pretoria to work, so he could keep an eye on Henry.
Sure enough, when he saw Phyllis and Gavin, Philip was always overjoyed. When he saw Henry and Roque, Philip's face changed instantly.
Luo Ke was very depressed. He didn't know where he offended the new prime minister.
"Harry——" Henry mouthed exaggeratedly behind Philip.
Roark understood immediately, and probably Philip also believed that Roark deliberately took Harry Alsop away so that Philip could win smoothly.
Actually it's not true, this little old man is a bit arrogant now.
Sitting down on the sofa in the living room, Philip held Gavin in his arms and enjoyed all kinds of family happiness.
Phyllis was busy directing Bella to take out the gifts brought back from London and distribute them to everyone.
Luo Ke didn't regard himself as an outsider. He found a box of tea with Chinese characters printed on it in the tea cabinet in the living room and prepared to make tea for everyone.
Henry was the only one sitting on the sofa, scratching his head and head, just sitting on pins and needles.
"Is the work of the police station very leisurely?" Philip saw that Henry was dissatisfied with everything, and he would find fault with everything.
"It's okay -" Henry didn't know how to answer. It seemed that he was too busy, let alone free.
"Dad, this is the pipe I brought for you. It is said to have been used by Napoleon." Fortunately, there was Phyllis, who took out a wooden pipe and showed it off to Philip happily.
Philip took the pipe, glanced at it casually, and threw it on the table in front of him.
"You are simply ignorant. How can something from the Stuart dynasty be French!" The old man has a sharp eye. There is a heraldry on his pipe. Anyone who understands heraldry can tell the origin at a glance.
.
Heraldry is also a branch of knowledge. European countries have inherited it for thousands of years. There are so many nobles in various kingdoms. Each noble has a unique coat of arms. Some nobles have more titles, that is, there are coats of arms inside the coat of arms. To fully identify it, the next step is to
A lot of hard work.
Phillip has obviously put in the effort. Forget about Phyllis. It’s useless to learn this thing. She might as well learn to cook.
"Even if it's not, you can't throw it away from me. I gave it to you!" The little cotton-padded jacket was very angry. This attitude is very wrong and must be criticized firmly.
Philip couldn't laugh or cry. He immediately picked up the pipe and hurriedly admitted his mistake: "Yes, it's my fault, but you should learn some knowledge in this area. As Mrs. Nyasaland, Locke is busy with work.
All aspects of work are your responsibility——"
Rock watched it with gusto, while Henry was on the verge of tears. This double standard was too obvious——
No, if you want to take out Roark's son later, Gavin can forget it, Phyllis will definitely not agree, Roark still has a son——
Henry is a bit psychopathic.
"It's all Christian's fault. I originally wanted to buy you a latest pocket watch, but Christian said that this pipe was used by Napoleon. He must have been deceived. Locke, I think you want to help with this issue.
That idiot Christian has been deceived so many times." Phyllis said plausibly, but she was indeed prepared and immediately took out a pocket watch for Philip.
Philip was really relieved at this time. His daughter was stupid, but stupid people are blessed.
Rock really didn't expect that there were various scams in the Western antique market, but fortunately, the pipes from the Stuart Dynasty were also good, and could barely be regarded as cultural relics, so Christian couldn't be blamed entirely.
Christian has never studied heraldry. He is a South African Boer and has never been to Cape Town before meeting Roque. He knows nothing about heraldry.
However, seeing that Philip likes pocket watches so much, Roque has another way to make money. Of course, the thing that is more advanced than pocket watches is the wrist watch. This is what men like.
