Chapter 951

Edith hall looked down at her black wide leg suit pants and white vertical stripe shirt. She struggled and hesitated for a moment, but finally raised her head and sighed, "Oh!" He scolded and ground his teeth. Then he picked up the red wine glass on the balcony and grumbled. But he didn't move slowly. He quickly packed his handbag and left the box.

Step to the next door, knock on the door, and then carefully push open the door of the room, and then feel the whole box of vision are projected over.

At this time, there were four people sitting in the box. In the middle is a couple with a man on each side.

The couple looked about 40 years old and dressed up. The lady even wore a little lady's hat, but the style and fabric were a little old, which could not keep up with the latest trend in London; Sitting on the side near the stage is a little boy, about 11 or 12 years old, wearing a suit and a bow tie to show his gentlemanly demeanor, while sitting on the side far away from the stage is a familiar face.

Edith raised her red glass politely and said, "good afternoon. Sir, madam. "

Then, Edith caught the young man on his left hand. He stood up on his own initiative, but in his early twenties, with a navy blue suit and pearl white shirt, his cool and arrogant temperament was like the deep blue ice in the Arctic Ocean, but clean and clear.

Facing each other's puzzled eyes, Edith made a sign in her eyes. They went to the open space near the door. She explained in a low voice, "is there still a space in your box? Arthur just sent out a red alarm. George is on his way with the Marquis of Dublin

Catching each other's frown, Edith rolled her eyes. "Yes, you heard me right, baron George hall. He's on his way to the Almeida theater. Ha! Ha Dry laughter, full of irony, "in this game, lanli finally laughed to the end, but it's not unusual, is it? He has never been a stubborn guy

The smile at the corner of the mouth gently raised, and a trace of envy flowed through the eyes. The four children of the hall family always think that ALF is the happiest one. She can not only pursue her chosen career, but also win the attention and respect of her family; But in fact, it's actually lanli. It's always lanli, because he has something they didn't really understand: freedom.

"But, damn it. He can choose to come at any time, but he chose today. " Edith thought about it, but was still annoyed.

She sneaked back to London, chose a normal working day and came to the Almeida theatre to watch "les miserables" - not just for the show, but to take some pictures backstage to see if there were any magazines interested. She came here to work.

As a result, he ran into George; What's more, her dress today is in the style of a capable and powerful woman. If George sees her, it will take a lot of talking.

"At least, you don't have smoky make-up today." The young man standing in front of me said lightly that this made Edith turn a big white eye again. "You are not blue," he said. "There is no sense of humor in this speech, but make complaints about satire and embarrassment."

The other side didn't mind, just shrugged, "I'm not joking."

Edith choked in her throat, and then looked at the young man who didn't get salt and oil in front of her. Without warning, she gave the other man a heavy blow on his stomach with her right elbow, and laughed triumphantly. "I can't deal with blue Li, but I still can't deal with you." How did she forget that Lan Li's group of little friends, one by one, were corrupted by Lan Li, and they had to use tough means.

Then, Edith gracefully picked up her wine glass - the wine in it was still calm. "Matthew, it looks like you can still have one person in your box, OK? I'm here today to enjoy the performance? "

Matthew Dunlop stood up straight, inhaled a little harder, his tense muscles relieved the pain, and looked at Edith helplessly, "do you need to sit in my seat? Or are we going to the second row? "

The box can accommodate up to seven people, and can be divided into two rows to sit in. The stage can also be seen; As for the housekeeper or retinue standing at the door, they can also see it.

"The second row will do." Edith said simply.

Matthew opened the box door, raised his hand, and the staff quickly welcomed him and explained the matter in a low voice; When he looked up, George and Richard appeared in the corridor. Instead of dodging, Matthew stayed where he was, politely said hello and exchanged greetings. However, Richard was anxious to see the play - literally, so he said goodbye to each other immediately.

Back in the box, Matthew saw Edith's bright eyes, full of curiosity and expectation, "how about George's face?"

"In front of the Marquis of Dublin, George was very decent." Matthew said coldly, as if unwilling to gossip, and then noticed Edith's stranglehold and disappointment.

But Matthew can't help but think that today, Langley is likely to meet George in the box, especially when Richard is present. At that time, it will be a kind of torment for George. Thinking of this, Matthew seems to be able to understand Edith's mentality.

"Matthew, is the Marquis of Dublin here? Should we go and say hello? " Sitting in the seat, the man stood up, interrupted the conversation between Matthew and Edith, and asked.

Edith frowned slightly - everyone likes to listen to the corner, and the nobility is no exception. The gossip in the corner is bound to be strong, but they won't say it face to face. It's impolite that the gossip itself is small and exposes their eavesdropping action.

Matthew's self-restraint is very good, and the couple talked for a while, and then led them and the little boy to the next box to say hello to George and Richard.

After a short wait, Matthew came back alone, aware of Edith's gaze, and explained, "they need to stay a little longer and come back before the opening." As if realizing Edith's curiosity, Matthew added, "they are all ordinary office workers, white-collar workers in the office. Nothing but baroness, living in Cardiff. "

Cardiff is the capital of Wales, a simple interpretation is: far away from London's upper class social circle, 18000 miles.

"Henry is pursuing their daughter. Today, it should be Henry's company. They hope to take their little son to enjoy the play, but..." Matthew shrugged and didn't continue to explain. The meaning was clear enough.

Edith retracted her jaw to show that she understood that she did not continue to entangle this topic. The staff had just moved the chair over, and Edith and Matthew sat down in the second row. "What about your work in New York? Doesn't it matter? You should be back on premiere night, right

"Yes, I've been back for a month." Matthew replied concisely.

"Jesus Christ, are you sure your company has no problem when you come back to London like this?" Edith's eyes widened, but before Matthew could answer, she waved her hand, as if she had already known the answer——

From childhood to adulthood, it's always been the case with lenley's friends. Their group of people gathered together in a hustle and bustle. It seemed that lanli was not the center, but an ordinary member of it; But as long as Langley cheered, they were willing to gather quickly. I used to think it was the brotherhood when I was young and frivolous, but after I left school, this friendship still maintained.

"Why?" Edith simply changed her question and said curiously.

There was a smile in Matthew's eyes. "Edith, you're sitting in the VIP box of the Almeida theater." Even Edith herself was like this, and she asked Matthew "why", which seemed to be inaccurate.

Edith opened her mouth, but she couldn't refute it. Finally, she said, "I'm just for work today."

Matthew didn't retort, even had no superfluous expression and movement, as if he had accepted Edith's statement. However, this kind of response made Edith feel a little depressed. She picked up her wine glass and took a big draught of it, which was a little relieved.

"You know, Heather cross is dead." Without warning, Matthew said. Edith was a little stunned, but he didn't know how to answer. Then Matthew said, "I always have an absurd illusion. Maybe it's the only person in the world who really understands Langley."

Heather, the girl trapped in the hospital bed because of illness, the girl stranded in her dream because of terminal illness. Before her and lanli, they had nothing in common. If they were forced to talk about dreams, there were too many people in the world who had dreams; It can even be said that she and Langley are two different individuals.

Matthew turned his head with a smile in his calm eyes. "It's ridiculous, I know." However, his eyes did not waver or joke.

During the conversation, the box door opened again, the couple and the boy came back. Ann sat down for less than a minute, the light dimmed, and the performance began.

Edith took back her eyes and looked at the stage in front of her. Gradually, she was a little distracted. Her thoughts went along with the light and music, entered the world described by Victor Hugo, and fell on the figure of the actor.

Three hours, six hours, the passage of time began to lose its meaning, every audience was immersed in it, the magnificent, magnificent, so that every soul is so small, follow the ups and downs of the historical scroll, so that when the final performance came to an end, there was no way to vent the passionate emotion, only to follow the instinctive guidance: stand up, clap.

Edith stood up, slapped her hands, and said, "damn God. He's a goddamn genius
