The Cape Colony is very big, but for many people, the Cape Colony is also very small, especially Cape Town, a place as big as a palm. There are some scandals in the secret history, and the city can be full of troubles in minutes. Henry was killed by General Hopkins.
It is not a secret to expel the army. If you know more about it, you will know the real reason.
The director of the Cape Mining Bureau is also an official in the Cape Colony. The marriage of Swift and Hopkins is a strong alliance. Now that Lacey and Henry are having an affair, Swift is of course very unhappy, but not
It doesn't matter if you're happy, marriage, this kind of thing is very normal, both parties are pursuing the political resources of the other party, the relationship of the children is not important, the close integration of the two families is the most important.
The key is Lacey's attitude. I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup Henry poured into Lacey. According to Ada, Lacey was in tears at home all day long and postponed her wedding twice in a row. Although she didn't say that she wouldn't marry anyone except Henry, but
The resistance to this marriage can also be clearly seen.
"I'm going to find Lacey." Henry knew Lacey's current situation and couldn't hold it in any longer.
Ada looked at Henry without speaking with interest. All Capetonians were very interested in this upstart who was rising like a rocket.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you. You have determined Lacey's attitude now, so what you have to do is not to comfort Lacey, but to go to General Hopkins and Hope like a man.
General Kings has a conversation between men." Rock doesn't approve of Henry going to Lacey. That would make Henry look like he doesn't have enough talent. If you want to find him, go to Hopkins and tell Hopkins that Henry can give Lacey something.
A bright future.
Ada's eyes turned to Roark again, and she could feel the burning eyes of Ada through the veil.
"You asked me to find Lacey just now, and now you ask me to find Hopkins. What on earth do you want me to do?" Henry was going crazy. Rock became too fast and Henry couldn't keep up. p>
"I asked you to go to Lacey just now to confirm Lacey's attitude. If Lacey is ready to accept General Hopkins' arrangement, then don't disturb Lacey's life anymore. Now you already know Lacey's attitude.
, then go directly to General Hopkins. If General Hopkins agrees to the marriage between you and Lacey, of course it would be best. If General Hopkins does not agree, at least he will not let Lacey see hope.
Disappointed again!" Rock's most important thing is Lacey's feelings. As for General Hopkins and Henry, they are both big pigs and they have no feelings.
"Locke, you still don't understand women -" Although Ada said this, her eyes clearly didn't mean it: "Henry, if I were you, I would go directly to General Hopkins' house and snatch Lacey away."<
/p>
A woman’s way of solving problems is the simplest and crudest!
"What are you talking about?" Phyllis also appeared by the swimming pool. The little girl was obviously dressed up. She was wearing a lavender tunic dress that Rock had never seen before, with a colorful fluffy top.
Wearing a floral long-sleeved shirt, a touch of blush on her face, her hair was simply tied up with a silver hairpin studded with diamonds. This outfit was very casual and gave full play to her age advantage. Ada
I dare not wear it like this.
"Please allow me to introduce -" Rock tried to introduce Ada to Phyllis, but he didn't know what to say.
How to say?
Is it just like Henry said: This is the most beautiful and richest widow in Cape Town, and also my lover - no, more than lover, but not enough -
Ada is probably going to throw the coffee in her hand at Rock's face.
"Ada - Ada Cappe" Ada took the initiative to introduce herself. She used her original surname instead of her ex-husband's surname.
"Nice to meet you, my name is Phyllis Matilda." Phyllis didn't need Rock to introduce herself, and Rock also helped Phyllis pull out her chair.
"Phyllis, do you think I should go find Lacey or Lacey's father?" Henry had no idea now and began to ask Phyllis for her advice.
"I think you should go home to find your father and win his support first." Sure enough, Phyllis gave a brand new possibility.
"God, save me!" Henry wailed and jumped directly into the swimming pool without taking off his clothes.
Well, drowning yourself is also an option, once and for all.
When Ada left Roark's house, she did not take a carriage, but chose to walk with Roark.
"I thought you wouldn't come -" Of course Rock wanted to see Ada off.
"I thought you couldn't come back -" Ada gently held Roark's arm, showing her exhaustion.
Rock can understand that Ada's ex-husband died in the last war, and Ada was once bitten by a snake and was afraid of well ropes for ten years, so Ada reacted so violently after knowing that Rock was going to the front line. p>
"Tell me your story on the front line. I want to know what you have experienced." Ada is very curious about Roque's experience. Ordinary people only know that Henry shot Joubert to death, and only a few people know that Roque played a role in it.
Ada is one of the few in the role.
"You don't want to know those things - the endless battles - the bloody charges - every fallen figure - there are family members who miss you so much -" Rock is really not sensational, he has only experienced it
The excitement of walking on the edge of life and death makes people yearn for an ordinary life: "In fact, the Boers are not as greedy as the legend says. Their weapons are very crude, some even use flintlock guns, and some people's clothes are British.
Military uniforms, not because they want to do so, but because the Boer coalition is unable to provide them with uniform uniforms——"
Rock suddenly realized that talking about this might bring back those bad memories of Ada, so Rock immediately changed the subject.
"It is the British government that is greedy. What does it have to do with the Boers? They are just a bunch of wretches." Ada also knew the twists and turns in this. Although the second Boer War was initiated by the Boers, it was
It was the British who deliberately created this situation.
In fact, the first Boer War was also initiated by the British.
If the Boers are guilty, then they are guilty of harboring a treasure. Cape Town's geographical location is too important, so the British drove the Boers away and occupied Cape Town.
Unable to defeat the British, the Boers moved inland and finally settled down. Unexpectedly, the Rand gold mine was discovered on the Boers' territory, so the British once again provoked a war, this time to establish the Boers' territory.
The country was completely annexed, because there was no room for the Boers to survive in the entire southern Africa. To the north was the Portuguese territory, to the west was the German colony, and to the east was the Indian Ocean.
***The author has something to say***
The Boers were indeed unlucky, and now they look even more unlucky - finally becoming independent -
