The Sensory Animals of Ston Hill

This shy man looked at Grace with admiration, and he asked Grace to call himself "Citizen Durand".

Grace smiled a little strangely: "I'm still not used to this new name, because you are still calling me 'Miss Grace'."

Dr. Durand's eyes showed excitement caused by joy, and he stuttered even more than before: "Because, because you are so, so, so special! People are willing, willing, to use special methods to call you! "

Grace believed that he really admired her.

This is very strange.Because he published some profound theories when he attended the meeting for the first time, and then he only spoke as a supporter of Constantinos, because those really brilliant insights have been taken away by Constantinos in advance .

But he understood at once, and Dr. Durand knew it, and he knew that he was also supplying Constantinos, just as he himself had always done.

Konstantinus trusted Dr. Durand more than he expected!

Grace could hardly restrain her excitement, and she couldn't help but say after only a few sentences: "Compared with the economic difficulties, the difficulties on the front line are obviously more important! I heard that a group of surrendered officers were executed two days ago. Are we There are no qualified generals anymore? Several provinces have already been occupied, if the defeat continues, the enemy will enter the capital sooner or later!"

He asked that sentence almost tremblingly. He explained Britain to Constantinos and supported a full-scale counterattack in the meeting, just for this sentence: "Is there no military officer who can win the battle in our country?"

Dr. Durand was lost in thought.

Konstantinos began to give a speech, and Dr. Durand immediately stopped everything he was doing, and focused on the man who exudes a strong charm as soon as he stepped on the podium.

This is not a formal statement and it will be over soon.Grace applauds enthusiastically with the others, while keeping an eye on the sidelines.He saw that Dr. Durand clapped his hands especially hard. If he looked at him with admiration just now, then the look he looked at the podium now can be described as admiration.

Konstantinos' speeches always elicited sustained applause.Dr. Durand overcame his embarrassment in such pursuits, and couldn't help saying to Grace: "Miss Grace, I agree with all your theories about economic development, except that you need to focus on the development of the textile industry! Textile industry The cotton needed is all grown in the New World, but the colonies must be independent! The slaves there need freedom more urgently than us!" He looked at the podium with even more admiration, and he didn't even stammer: "I know , only Konstantinos can lead all people to realize true democracy and freedom!"

After the banquet, Konstantinos and Dr. Durand walked Grace back to her residence.

Konstantinos often did this, walking the streets without a carriage, like a common citizen.Sometimes he also brings Grace, so that people can see the most popular leader of the common people walking with the most popular goddess of the common people.

Dr. Durand was added today, because Dr. Durand hoped to have more conversations with Grace, but unfortunately their conversation kept being interrupted by pedestrians' greetings.

Hats are now out of fashion, and poor people no longer need to wear nightcaps in the streets, because hats also remind people of aristocratic vices.The townspeople had nothing on their heads, but they were still used to the gesture. They passed their hands over their heads and called out to them: "Citizen Constantinos! Citizen Durand! Miss Grace!"

Even some of the armed citizens did not wear hats, in fact, they did not have a complete uniform, because uniforms had to be purchased at their own expense.It was Konstantinos who proposed that "people who cannot pay taxes have the right to protect the revolution" and helped them apply for guns at public expense.

They also belonged to the National Guard, and in order to distinguish them from those guard soldiers who bought uniforms and guns at their own expense, they called themselves "hatless men".

The hatless men passed them in little file, calling out to them also: "Citizen Constantinos! Citizen Durand! Miss Grace!"

Grace now lived in a citizen's house, arranged for him by the General Assembly, and the rent was paid by the Assembly.Because the royal property and debts were taken over by the council, Grace had no money.

Constantinos and Dr. Durand escorted him to the door and hugged him goodbye.Grace noticed that Konstantinus hugged him longer today than usual.

After parting, Grace looked at Konstantinos quietly.The other party's eyes flickered, avoiding his sight.

On the contrary, Dr. Durand, who was next to him, said with emotion that the walk just now reminded him of the story George once told him.

He didn't finish, and was interrupted by Konstantinos with some reproach.

Dr. Durand said with a good-tempered smile: "You clearly said, said several times, that walking with Grace and Miss Lace was the happiest time for you. I'm so happy that you and you are reconciled."

Konstantinos looked at Grace silently, as if acquiescing.

But Grace knew that wasn't the case, he knew very well that the applause from the podium was more exciting to Konstantinos than a walk in the woods.How can love have the power to stimulate?

But looking tenderly back into Konstantinos' dark eyes, he replied, "It's the same for me."

Konstantinos and Dr. Durand remained at the house for dinner that evening.At the dinner table, Grace boldly proposed: "Officers who can fight in prison should be sent to the front line."

The author says:

Ah... Allen came back to save the king, a proper royalist, it is too difficult to save... My brother will appear in the next chapter! !

After writing the article, I found out that Desmoulins also stuttered, but Dr. Durand was not based on Desmoulins, and Constantinos was not Robespierre.The eloquence and stuttering here are just a symbolic meaning, not an allusion to any historical figure.
