Chapter 90 Parade

When I returned to Kaliga Manor, it was not dark and the guards had not changed their guards, so I easily entered the manor.

After asking the guards, he knew that Bao was inside the stable, so Arthur went directly to the stable.

Sure enough, Bao was taking care of a Hungarian mixed-race horse in the stable, which looked very suitable for long distances.

Seeing that Bao was taking care of the horses and did not seem to notice his arrival, Arthur could only say hello: "Are my money ready?"

Bao, who had other plans in his heart, was startled and turned around to see Arthur before calming down: "Oh, it's you, of course, the money is ready."

As he said that, Bao took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket, all of which were one dollar.

This is also the most common banknote at this time. Large-denomination banknotes are often not useful.

In terms of current prices, there are actually very few daily necessities worth more than ten dollars.

Even in the 21st century, at that time, the United States rarely paid for banknotes worth more than twenty dollars.

The face value of the banknotes used is only twenty dollars. At this time, most of the money circulating on the market is one dollar.

In the past, Wang Xuance often used 100 US dollars to pay, because the money taken out of the system would be automatically compatible from top to bottom. That is to say, if you want to pay 123 US dollars, then you will take out one hundred dollars, one twenty dollars, and one two dollars, one dollar.

After taking the money handed over by Bao, Arthur counted it. It was not much, but it was worthy of the trip he had taken.

"very good."

Seeing that Arthur had received the money, but seemed to have no intention of giving him something, Bao said nervously, "Then, she, does she have anything for me?"

"have......"

When Bao heard something to him, he was a little excited and uneasy: "What is it? Can you give it to me?"

"Yes, but you have to pay." Arthur is not a philanthropist, so his first reaction is to ask for money. After all, money is a very useful thing.

Bao was a little disappointed, but thought that it was something Penelope gave him, so he still planned to pay.

But before she could move, she was interrupted by Arthur: "Ah, forget it..."

He took out a letter and handed it to Bao: "Give you a letter."

"Thank you, Arthur." Bao was planning to pay, but he didn't expect that Arthur actually gave up on his plan to ask for money.

Bao walked out of the stable, thanking Arthur, and walked to the place where the sunlight shone. He wanted to see what Penelope said in his letter to him.

After taking out the letter and reading the previous paragraphs, Bao sighed a little, this woman was really unexpected.

"What?" Arthur, who was originally watching the Hungarian mixed stallion, heard Bao's sigh, as if something was about to happen.

Bao explained: "Women's right to vote."

"In the town of Rhodes, they don't even want men to vote. If they have the chance, they will even restore the monarchy. Here, 'progress' is a dirty word, unlike 'incest'." Bao was a little desperate when he thought of the marriage arranged for him at home.

"What?" Arthur was a little surprised when he heard an unexpected word from Bao's mouth.

Bao danced and his mind was almost broken: "I don't want to marry my cousin Matilda, I want to marry Penelope more, but if I say it, my relatives will tell Braceway that they will kill Penelope at the meeting they presided over."

Bao remembered that there was a last straw next to him: "They have done this before, Mr. Arthur, you must help me, please."

"I'm afraid I don't want to participate in this matter." Arthur stood beside him, thinking about the grudges and revenge between the two families, but in fact, he felt that the matter was a bit complicated. If he participated, he might be crushed to pieces.

"I can pay, a lot of money. I have money, and my family has money. I can take out the money for you." Bao had used the money offensive to ask Arthur to send a letter to him, so this time, he also wanted to use the money offensive to get Arthur to agree.

Arthur is such a person, especially now that he is short of money, and he does not participate in family matters. If he just protects Penelope, it is still very easy. At worst, he can hide Penelope.

However, he also made his own request: "I won't send you a letter anymore, it's really troublesome."

"Of course, thank you, Arthur, you're a good person."

Bao rode the Hungarian mixed stallion he had just taken care of, walked out of the stable, walked around the main entrance, and left the Grey's manor from next to him.

"Quick, let's go from here and get to where they gather."

Arthur followed him, listening to his panic voice, comforted him, "Don't worry, boy, calm down."

"I can't calm down. If I can't arrive as soon as possible, then my beloved may be shot dead by my bastard cousins."

He knew very well what his cousins ​​were. If only Penelope and others were there, then his cousins ​​would definitely cause a big deal.

Penelope and several other leading women could not imagine what their fate would be.

"Child, if she wants to attend any gathering, you must allow her to attend, otherwise, there will be a crack in your relationship."

Arthur exhorted.

A woman like Penelope who has the ability to think independently must learn to respect her so that she will respect you the same.

"I know, sir. I know what she does is a great thing, but I can't make her a martyr. I want to marry a woman of flesh and blood, not a statue."

After thinking, Bao finally calmed down, but still disagreed with Penelope becoming a martyr in the feminist movement.

"I think they must know what they are doing."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! Arthur didn't say much, but his meaning is very obvious, and Bao shouldn't stop them.

Not far from the front of the two, a large group of people gathered together, wearing colorful clothes, and some people even held placards in their hands.

A fat woman was preaching something, and Penelope was there.

Bao rushed to the side and took Penelope's hand, wanting to persuade her not to participate in the operation.

But Penelope's attitude was very firm. She believed that if someone really wanted to sacrifice because of this kind of struggle for her own power, then she could sacrifice herself.

Seeing that Penelope could not persuade him, Bao simply looked at Arthur for help: "Arthur, can you think of a solution? Please."

"What? What can I do? Do you want me to knock them all to the ground? This may be a good idea."

Arthur looked at the fat woman who was giving a speech. She was full of passion. Her speech penetrated into the hearts of every woman. She was their leader.

"If I rush up, that woman will kill me."

Arthur's tone was full of jokes, and anyone could tell that he didn't want to disrupt the rally.

"Sir, this is not a joke. They need protection from some people. Mainly, people from my family, Penelope, I beg you." Bao saw that neither of them had any intention of ending the operation, and his heart was full of despair.

Penelope felt his despair and took a step back: "Perhaps your friend can help us drive the carriage. In this way, we can have more people involved in the call."

Over there, the fat woman who was giving a speech was talking about passion. They raised their hands high and made huge shouting sounds from their mouths.

“Female rights!!”

“Female rights!!”

All the crowds present at the rally shouted.

Arthur thought for a while, Bao had promised to pay the money, so he simply walked forward and led by Penelope to the side of the fat woman.

"Mrs. Calhoun."

Penelope shouted, and introduced Arthur to the fat woman: "This is my friend, and he said he can drive us."

When the fat woman saw that Arthur was someone brought by Penelope, she stretched out her hand kindly: "I am Olive Calhoun. Usually I like to drive my own carriage, but this time, I feel that if a man joins us, our proposition may be recognized by more people."

As she said that, she got on the carriage first.

Arthur followed her, looking at the crowds of demonstrations around her with some novelty, "This is the first time I have participated in such an activity, Madam."

"Oh, don't worry, sir. We are just a bunch of sheep, and the guys who attack us are hungry wolves." Olive looked at Arthur's clothes and said, "I think, in this way, sir, you won't feel strange."

After Arthur got in the car, Olive explained a few words to the demonstration crowd behind him and let Arthur drive forward.

After they decided to leave, Bao rode his horse to the front to see if his cousins ​​were nearby.

He wants to prevent accidents and must not let his cousins ​​hurt Penelope.

Arthur drove his carriage all the way forward.

The women sang songs all the way, waved the placards in their hands, and signaled to the people around them.

"We are going to follow the main road, through Rhodes, and then to the front of the bank steps in Rhodes." Oliv told Arthur: "Sir, what's your name?"

"Arthur Callahan." Although he felt that these women might not necessarily have connections with the Gray family, for insurance, Arthur still claimed his current pseudonym.

"Very good, Mr. Callahan. Don't be too fast or too slow. We want the men in Rhodes to hear us." Olive has a good impression of this man who is willing to join him and others and fight for rights for women.
