Chapter 2884 Lion of Liberty (6)

After the abolition of the Corn Laws, Britain began to turn to a free trade model. While requiring other countries to reduce tariffs on raw materials and industrial products, it also canceled its own trade protection.

In 1848 the Times published a story roughly to the effect that the Chartists, attempting to arm marches and rallies, had been evacuated from London in order to protect the safety of the royal family.

The prisons in the city were garrisoned by the army, the houses of worship were turned into barracks, the dockworkers and post office employees were conscripted as special police officers, and two thousand sets of weapons had been distributed to them, as were other public employees, and the mounted police were armed with sabers and With pistols, the water police closely monitor passing merchant ships so that they can be converted into transport ships at any time.

The World Expo will be held in Hyde Park soon, and the Crystal Palace is under construction. There are so many topics to talk about, why choose the most disappointing one?

Victorian women had to learn to faint. For example, when two gentlemen were about to have a fierce conflict over a certain topic, she would inevitably need to be treated with smelling salts (sal ammoniac) when she fainted. opened.

Many people know the story of the Sword of Damocles, and there are even quite a few works of art that tell the story, but no one really wants a sword hanging over their head.

Compared with being a sword, mothers will tell their daughters what to do to marry themselves as soon as possible. Getting married and having children is the symbol of adulthood for women in that era.

At the same time, there will be such a situation, because cotton textile factories need female workers, and it is difficult for men to find jobs, so women are the masters of the family. This is not surprising, the whole of Britain is ruled by the queen, and although the husband has the power to vote, it is up to the wife to decide who to vote for. They began to appear at various assemblies and listen to the speakers from the pulpit.

As the heat eased into September, Pomona stowed the lace nightgown in the closet.

She looks at her plump reflection in the lacquer of the cabinet when the door is closed, and if she wears a lace nightgown at her current figure, she looks like a fish caught in a net, Liz Stewart Posted to Her “fishnet” dress actually fits perfectly. But she went to Molly to make it smaller, and even then she couldn't fit it.

She closed her eyes and rested her head on the door, remembering her adolescence, when other girls were busy dating, but Pomona stayed in the library all day, fighting for a place with a group of Ravenclaws . She couldn't play with those in the same grade, so she found a lower grade to play with.

She knew about the grievances between Severus and the Marauder, but she never tried to mediate, instead she created a double identity, as if she could play well with each of them.

At least Lily wasn't like Pomona, she was always with Severus aboveboard, and didn't care what was judged on them.

The current "Sev" is different from before. He will not take out his wand and point it at the opponent early, but hold it on guard until the opponent strikes first.

The arrow is the same as "Except You Weapon", the attack trajectory is a straight line, but being shot by the arrow will not just let the wand fly away, he will be injured and bleed, which is what Dolan warned him.

So he had to wait for the opponent to shoot. No matter how fast a sharp archer shoots an arrow, it will take time to reload. At this time, as long as he blocks the arrow with his armor, he will have another chance to shoot.

He doesn't need to make a "golden bell cover", he only needs to defend a specific area. It's a bit like playing badminton. He also specially designed a dummy to practice against himself. As long as he is strong enough, the trajectory of the badminton is not light. The parabola, but the straight line "kill the ball".

Bai Xian could heal the arrow's wound quickly, and Dolan didn't really want his life, he always aimed the arrow at the heart and other vital organs. After Ronan joins, he will wait for an opportunity to make a move when "Sif" and Dolan confront each other. Sometimes it is unwise to use armor to protect himself. He has to learn to avoid it.

The confrontation between the centaur and the human wizard is not completely impossible, although the wizard feels that the arrows of the centaur will not hurt him at all. But the centaur will avoid the wizard's spell, as long as he dodges, he can rush forward until he rushes in front of the wizard, and kicks the wizard unconscious with his raised horseshoe.

Most of the spells of human beings require "aiming", but Snape's invention of the invisible blade does not need it. It will automatically aim at the target to attack, and usually it will not miss. The first time he hurt Ronan, Ronan actually laughed, because Ronan only got a small scratch, Snape got a horseshoe print on his face, and countless injuries on his body, Covered by school gown.

Later, two more centaur joined in, just dodging was not enough anymore, he began to try short-distance apparition, and sometimes he would suddenly appear behind the "teachers", and the centaur would not stop when he shot the arrow. To many to him seems to be no longer a problem.

But werewolves are another matter.

Lily did not look at James differently because of this. In a book about Machiavelli's monarchy, Pomona saw the author mention "what is the attachment of desire and what is an independent personality", and he talked about the virtues of citizens Unlike the "big things" of corruption, Pomona considers some "little things."

There are many places in life that require money. Even if you don’t buy what you want to live comfortably, you need to spend money to see a doctor. At that time, everyone will know how important money is.

Mary is only 16 years old, life, old age, sickness and death are too far away for her, not to mention Sirius Black is her goal, she evaluates Severus and James fairly, if Lily wants to stay in the wizarding world, then choose James, who has a certain foundation, is more practical than Sif, who has nothing.

According to Malthus, families like the Weasleys who are poor and have multiple births should be eliminated, but the Weasleys are very sympathetic to Muggles, and even Arthur is still compiling a "Muggle Protection Act" to protect the Muggles. In his eyes, Muggles who were always "bullyed" by wizards.

Many pure-blood families have been rich before, and they fell into poverty for various reasons. Of course, they would not listen to Malthus's words to kill themselves and reduce the poor population.

Mary was just almost turned into a frog by Mulburn and the others, who croaked in the water. The Death Eaters outside would kill the Muggles, and the corpse would be eaten by werewolves. If there is no corpse, it can only be judged as missing. It's all so chaotic, and the police don't have that much energy to investigate missing persons.

A "good dog" will know table manners and clean up the blood, but Pomona has seen a lot of deliberately messy scenes.

Bloodthirsty is not a good word, but if you take "little daisy ball", Slytherin will find it disgusting, even if they are supported by the dean, they will not accept it.

Maybe a dance is just a dance, and there is no need to make extravagant events. If you don't mention it, others won't think so much.

It's fun not to think so much, and who wants to go to a prom if it's like a funeral?

There is always a "clown" who is made fun of by everyone in every fun-seeking occasion. You just need to try not to let yourself be at the "bottom of the food chain" and become the object of being teased and laughed at.

The clown was originally a comedian, but his jokes were not listened to, so he had to change to an "artistic form" and he stopped trying to please the audience.

'Am I doing it right? '

In the new world after the clown's rebirth, he doesn't need to think about right and wrong, and he is happy if he doesn't think so much. He can do whatever he "want" to do. He doesn't even have to wait for the Bat-Light to come on, like Batman does.

It was like a "green light" that allowed Batman to drive his supercar, ignore traffic rules, and run a red light at a busy intersection "in order to save the world."

Cleaning up one mess is enough trouble, if you add another one, how will the police in Gotham live.

"We don't need Batman," the Joker would say to his followers. "It'll be hot in a minute, trust me!"

So how will the audience react?

It's not the Joker's problem anymore, he just has to laugh at the world, even if his laugh is so crazy and harsh that normal people get annoyed and think he's crazy.

"Why are you so serious, it's just a joke."

The clown said with a smile on his face, dancing funny, and the "background" behind him was a city in flames.

As for the rebuilding after burning, the clown didn't think about it, he just came here to find happiness. As for the endless regret after the short-term happiness... Regret will bring melancholy, and he is not the kind of clown who cries.

Pomona looked back at the puppet on the desk.

"Why are you here, Paul?" Pomona asked.

"They were boring and I wanted to find something fun to do," Paul said.

"So you came to see me?" Pomona asked.

"How about a dance with me?" Paul said.

"I can't dance ballet." Pomona said, pointing to the flesh on his body. "I'm too fat."

"Oh, I don't want to do ballet either, how about a waltz?" Paul said.

Pomona considered.

"Do you play and dance with girls?" Pomona asked.

"What else do you want to do?" Paul asked.

"You came to play with me," Pomona said. "Don't be so boring."

Paul laughed.
