Rimbaud's girl

The sound of whipping, cracking, weeping, and vague voices are really easy to make people imagine!

Vitaly was dying of curiosity, wanting to know what was going on in the room.In fact, there are two things that are most likely. She very much hoped that Arthur would give Verlaine a hard belt!right!That's it!

Arthur can be very cold. Last time he hurt Verlaine's hand. From his point of view, you are not even willing to pay for a little physical pain. How dare you have the face to say "love" him?Teenager's love likes drama, pursues "vigorousness", and must toss hard, but the time they are together is not too long, and the toss is limited, so maybe the hatred is also limited.

But anyway, now that he realized Verlaine's serious flaws, he wouldn't be stupid again.

The sound of whipping in the room finally stopped, the boy's voice was saying something, the low-pitched cry mixed with pleading words, the boy was very impatient and raised his voice, telling him to get out quickly.

After a while, the sound of dragging footsteps came towards the door.

Vitaly hurried away from the door, but did not go far, and stood by the door with her shoulders leaning against the wooden wall.

Paul Verlaine's clothes were disheveled, with tears on his face and the mark left by the belt on his face, crying and embarrassed.He stared at Vitaly by the door in surprise, and the little girl with beautiful blue eyes looked at him coldly and calmly.

Embarrassed and ashamed, he turned, "Arthur—Arthur—"

"Get out, you have such a mean face, I feel disgusted!" The young man's ruthless voice was accompanied by a pair of leather shoes thrown out one after the other.

Vitaly wanted to laugh so much, and managed to hold back her laugh: So, the two had a breakup fight, and then Verlaine was brutally beaten and humiliated, and kicked out of the room in the middle of the night.Tsk tsk, how miserable!However, you will not sympathize with him!This is what he deserved!

Arthur glared at her, "You are really disobedient if you don't sleep in the middle of the night."

"Your movements were too loud and woke me up."

Arthur was a little embarrassed, "Shut up and go back to sleep."

She tugged on the sleeve of Arthur's nightgown, "Do you want to go home with me?"

"Not going back." He shook his head.

"I want to come to Paris to study."

He thought for a while, "If mom is at ease, I will take care of you."

"But you're not yet 18."

"Soon, I will be 10 in October." He smiled and pinched her nose.

The Rimbauds soon forgot Verlaine.

The brother and sister first went back to Charleville together and persuaded Mrs. Rimbaud; they spent another day packing and brought a large suitcase, and uncle Felix still sent them to Paris.

Spring in Paris is beautiful. Walking on the Champs-Elysées, there are women in costumes everywhere.

The cityscape of Paris underwent a major transformation during the reign of Napoleon III, and the narrow streets in "Les Miserables" no longer existed, so things like barricades did not appear during the Paris Commune, so that when faced with the attack of government forces, Inability to organize effective resistance;

The streets became wider, and a ban was issued to prohibit random dumping of garbage, human or livestock excrement on the streets; sewers and sewage pipes were built, and the streets became clean. Feces, and the smell of feces is no longer in the air.

Such a street is almost no different from later generations.

The Champs-Elysées, as a business district and a wealthy district, is also a window to the outside world of Paris, a model street.

Vitaly was in a good mood.

My brother is a genius, and he doesn’t need to toss himself to communicate with the goddess of art. He should have a stable life, so that he can guarantee unremitting creation, find the right opportunity to make friends with famous bosses, and he will always be famous; many seniors have already left The path worked, and there's no reason he couldn't.For example, Balzac, he lived a rich life on his own royalties during his lifetime; Victor Hugo was a little bit worse, but it was because he was too active in politics, so he was forced to live in exile for many years, Arthur doesn't like politics, and he can avoid Hugo's predicament entirely.

Everyone has the desire to be "successful". "Nobleness" is something that will be considered only after you have no worries about food and clothing, and there is also a bit of "hypocrisy" that is pretentious.Besides, an artist also needs to "join the WTO" to better understand the sufferings of the world.

Arthur basically agrees with his sister. "You're right, you should have some life experience."

They bought books in the bookstore. He needed to buy books for the graduation exam. Vitaly had nothing to buy, so he bought a few.

"I see that the first book of many writers is about the things around them, and many of them are semi-autobiographical. It should be easier to write about the things you are familiar with." >

"Nothing is really 'simple'."

"But it shouldn't be a problem for you, as long as you know what story to tell."

"I think so." He looked forward to it.A genius is always extra confident, he can do everything well.

They also bought several packs of manuscript paper for writing, a dozen wooden pens, and half a dozen good black inks from the stationery store next to the bookstore.A Denmark-made "Hansen Writing Ball" was placed prominently in the store. This was the earliest commercialized typewriter, but it was too expensive and had a strange shape. The Rimbaud brothers and sisters watched with interest for a while.

Arthur was very interested in new things, wanted to know the principle of the typewriter, and even wanted to buy a writing ball to study at home, but after looking at the price, he decided to forget it.

Vitaly did not tell him that Verlaine and Mathilde had already left Paris for the seaside city of Upper Normandy, and they would not return to Paris until at least a year or so.Madame Fleville took little George with her daughter and son-in-law, while M. Flewell remained in Paris alone.

Mr. Fleville sent someone to send a letter, saying that he had found a suitable private teacher for Vitaly, and he was afraid that she could not afford the tuition fee, so he helped her pay the tuition fee. She just needs to prepare some stationery and go to class on time. .Thinking about it, Mr. Fleville is also quite aggrieved. For the sake of his daughter, he has to spend money to settle this terrible situation.

Vitaly is not rich enough to refuse Mr. Flewell's "good intentions". In fact, she took money from the Flewell family, which made his family feel more at ease.Cannibals are soft-spoken and short-handed, this principle is the same no matter where and what era.Mr. Flevel, whose money had not been spent directly on Arthur, would probably not have been too offended.

She spent 5 minutes thinking about whether Verlaine was willing to compromise on this, hide her bisexuality again, recognize the reality, and be a good husband and father honestly. Make another mistake, but this is what Mathilde will worry about. As long as he doesn't bother Arthur anymore, she will happily pretend that he doesn't exist.

To say that she still has one ruthless trick - Verlaine had a good job in the Paris Commune before, as the director of the press office, but this person was quite astute, and ran away before the collapse of the Paris Commune. The May Massacre, but because of this, she has never been able to find a stable job; she only needs to send a letter to the current Paris City Hall, and report on Verlaine.But this move is too harmful, and it will hurt Mathilde and her parents. Mathilde is the most innocent one in this disgraceful extramarital affair-incident, unless there is no other way, she will not use this trick.

Mathilde no longer wrote to Vitaly, and Vitaly had very little contact with the Flevel family.

Verlaine tried to learn about Arthur's situation through Fulan, and Vitaly warned Fulan seriously that if he dared to mention Arthur to Verlaine, he would stop eating and drinking with him.Foran chose to bow his head to Vitaly, who was willing to take him to eat and drink.

She lives in the attic of a small apartment, and it is quite comfortable to live in a small apartment with two brothers and sisters; in summer, Foran's apartment lease expires, and she wants to live with them, willing to pay one-third of the rent , So the three of them changed to a larger apartment with three bedrooms, and the rent was not too expensive. On average, one person paid 230 francs a year, and the landlady also included breakfast, which was pretty good.

Fulan is also a guy who spends money without counting. His parents give him a fixed amount of living expenses every year. After they live together, Fulan will hand over the living expenses to Vitaly for management.He has an occasional income, which he usually spends on alcohol.He also has an irregular female patron who gives him a small sum of money from time to time. He uses the female patron's money to buy paints and canvases, and he lives fairly well.

Vitaly takes classes 4 days a week and has a lot of homework; she doesn't have classes for 3 days on weekends, and learns sketching and sketching from Foran.

Arthur passed his baccalaureate in June, then the entrance examination at the University of Paris, and enrolled in the Faculty of Letters in October.

The savage boy followed the rules and went to a serious university in Paris, which surprised Verlaine's old friends and made them look at him with admiration.

The Rimbauds occasionally attended Madame Nina's salon and a limited number of other salons.Arthur Rimbaud was appreciated by Mrs. Beverly, and Mrs. Beverly became his patron, giving him 2000 francs a year for living expenses, and paid for him the cost of the University of Paris, even including the installation fee All for him.

Vitaly felt that her brother was being taken care of by someone, but the other party only asked him to attend the salon on schedule.

There is nothing wrong with it, 2000 francs is more than enough for him to eat alone, and he can still eat quite well, consisting of high-calorie and high-protein foods. He has grown a lot this year, and now stands at 1 meters.

Vitaly doesn't have to bear her brother's living expenses, and she can eat better. Her height has jumped a lot this year, and she has reached 1 meters, and she is not so thin anymore. A healthy, happy girl; shoulder-length hair, with a perfectly Parisian accent, and wearing Parisian dresses, not at all recognizable as a provincial country girl.

Oh, to say that the most important achievement of this year was meeting Flaubert, a famous literary figure, in Mrs. Beverly's salon.
