Chapter 934

Suddenly, reflexively, Ned turned his head and looked out the crack in the door.

In the hazy halo, lanli's tall and straight back blocked most of his vision, and only a few vague figures could be captured. The elegant and imposing dinner dress loomed in the light of his sight; Even if you can't see the faces of the visitors, you can still sketch their special and prosperity from the fragmented details.

However, Ned did not have time to further explore, ear laughter interrupted his prying.

The heart suddenly missed a beat, inexplicably flustered up, Ned quickly took back his eyes, once again looked at Tom and Joe in front of him; In my mind, I kept looking back at the vague fragments of the picture just now. My curiosity was being shrouded little by little, and the whole person seemed to be out of his wits.

Fortunately, this group of young actors in front of us can spontaneously complete the interview, sentence after sentence, without Ned's guidance at all. Otherwise, he'll show off. But who are the visitors?

"Oh." Lan Li chuckled. The irony and banter were almost undisguised. Then he raised his eyebrow. "At least, they attended today's premiere, so I think, supporters, it's also a kind of saying."

Instead of answering, Alf looks at Emma and politely retracts her chin. "Ms. Fielding, can you give us some space? Thank you

There is no reason, there is not too much modification, but the genial smile and gentle eyes, but revealed a can not refuse the dignity.

As the manager of Almeida theatre, Emma is experienced and experienced. She knows the aristocracy's style and the aristocracy's domineering style; She can not care, can also not buy, but can avoid unnecessary conflict, that would be better.

So, instead of answering directly, Emma turned her head and looked at lanli. After getting a positive answer, she replied, "of course, there's no question." Then Emma added, half jokingly, "dinner time is just around the corner. The audience doesn't want to miss the second half of the show, and the actors don't want to go on stage unprepared. So don't talk so fast that you forget the time. "

At the same time, all three politely smile, nod to Emma, and then withdraw their eyes.

With her neat manners and similar looks, Emma was a little creepy; Holding a question mark, slowly turned away.

Emma is just a small theater manager, not a big man, not a noble. But in her daily work, it is the most important part to contact the elites of the upper class.

About the rumor of Langley hall, Emma said she had never heard of it. It was absolutely impossible. However, those rumors have never been really confirmed, because those real aristocrats, they will not disclose any information to Emma - Emma is a person outside the circle, not qualified to pry into the gossip in the circle.

All the time, Emma didn't take it too seriously. After testing blue Li once, the other side is completely watertight, and Emma wisely chooses to shut up. But judging from today's situation, the rumor is not groundless——

Langley hall, Arthur hall and alf hall all have the same surname, which seems, may, probably, maybe, should not be a coincidence.

Emma doesn't know ALF, but she does know Arthur.

It's one of the top contacts in London's upper class circles. Even in front of the royal family, social public relations are also very good; Arthur is an aristocrat with a family background and a noble title. He also has a lot of contacts in the fields of Finance and art, which is the foundation of his foothold in the upper class of London.

Lenley and Arthur? If their last name is the same hall

Emma took a cold breath and closed her mouth tightly. Pretend that today's meeting has never happened. Pretend that Andre Hamilton, Eaton domer and Matthew Dunlop, the new aristocrats, are just for the sake of drama. Pretend that the surname of "Hall" is meaningless. Pretend that the speculation just now has never happened.

The first priority to open up the upper class is to understand what gossip can be spread and what is not.

Emma's pace began to pick up, quickly left the corridor, all curiosity was completely extinguished. She didn't want to hear a word.

Emma's departure calmed the air in the corridor. Lanli did not speak, Alf did not speak, Arthur stood by trying to hide his body, pretending that he did not exist, more will not speak.

The breath of silence is surging quietly.

If it is normal, Alf will take the initiative to speak; Because the lady's etiquette education, even in the face of enemies and enemies, she will not allow such impoliteness and embarrassment. Therefore, Alf will open her mouth, break the silence, treat the guests politely and deal with the current situation. But today is not "normal.".

"It seems that you have rediscovered the drama worth watching." Lan Li said on his own initiative.

In the beginning, Arthur caught some clues, but he didn't know why; But ALF understood.

The year before last, when Langley returned to London to shoot "crazy love", Alf met with Langley. She asked him to recommend some dramas worth watching in the west end, but at that time, Langley said that he had nothing to recommend. As time goes by, they meet again in the west end.

Such a scene is like a samsara.

However, the surface of ALF is still, "it's 2012, we can't ask for more." The subtext is that the Almeida theater version of "les miserables" is still not an ideal choice. "However, I heard that Trafalgar Studios is rehearsing a pioneering drama, which is worth looking forward to."

Trafalgar theatre is a small theatre on the outskirts of the west end of London. It is extremely crowded, with actors and audiences almost close to each other; However, some bold and innovative avant-garde plays have been staged repeatedly.

"The witch?" Langley caught the message in an instant. "Yes, I heard it was a play worth looking forward to. If I have time later, I'm going to have a look. "

"Have you started watching the play again? I don't think that's popular in American life. Broadway has been completely occupied by tourists, which is much worse than the west end of London. " ALF actually began to communicate seriously.

"God Arthur, who was standing beside him, finally could not help it any more. He patted his head in chagrin. "Jesus Christ, can't you see the elephant in the room?"

They are now in the Almeida theatre. They have just watched the performance of Langley on the stage. They are here tonight as representatives of the hall family. They have now become the focus of discussion in the upper class of London... But Langley and alf are discussing a pioneering drama, as if the "tragic world" had never happened.

What's more ridiculous is that Langley is wearing a costume now. However, they are still hiding their ears and ignoring the elephants in the room. This is a black absurd comedy.

ALF's face was unmoved, while blue Li chuckled and looked up at Arthur. "Why, do you want to see that elephant? Or, dare you see that elephant? "

Today's situation is very clear. George and Elizabeth choose to be absent, escape and ignore, just like ostrich. Even though Langley was in London, even though Langley was rehearsing in the west end, even though "les miserables" was on, they still pretended that nothing had happened and that Langley never existed.

It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous; But it's also true.

The elephant in the room, for some people, really "doesn't exist.".

In the face of Langley's understated but sharp rebuttal, Arthur opened his mouth, but all his words were swallowed in his throat, and he couldn't make a sound. He sighed with depression, "Damn it, why doesn't Edith come back?"

He hated this situation. It was like a knot. Langley refused to give in, George and they refused to compromise. Then they were deadlocked and both sides were hurt.

But in fact, for many aristocratic families, this is nothing more than normal. The father lives the life of the father, the mother lives the life of the mother, and the child lives the life of the child. There is no fetter or connection between them. It seems that they are just a group of strangers connected by blood.

Deep down, Arthur admired and envied Langley. He now understood why Edith was always leaving.

"ALF, remember? When I was a child, you told me that elephants are used to tolerating animals. They always bear everything silently; But you didn't tell me, one day, the elephant is angry, what will happen? " Langley looked at ALF with a smile and said seriously.

The elephant in the room, everyone can see it, it is so huge, so strong, so threatening, but it is so gentle, so silent. Everyone pretended to be invisible and avoided talking about it. Over time, people began to get used to its existence and took everything for granted. Until one day, the elephant got angry.

ALF met blue Li's eyes. Those dark brown eyes were so calm, sparkling, full of smart light, confident and calm, sincere and elegant. They were brave and persistent; Unknowingly, it made ALF a little embarrassed.

She slightly raised her chin, gathered her eyes, and met those eyes without avoiding; However, after all, he was not able to speak, let alone refute.

All of a sudden, the radian of lanli's mouth rose slightly. It seemed that he could smell ALF's inner struggle and hesitation, and he never seemed to care. "Thank you for your visit. But I have to go back now, you know, there's still a lot of work to be done. Give my best regards to George and Elizabeth

Turning around, Langley was about to leave, but he thought of something. He turned back again and said, "also, Tell Philip, I hope he can enjoy it."
