She invited all the people from the blue coast, didn’t she
Princess Novomali, a wealthy American, married a Roman prince, but not those ordinary princes with low status in Italy, but a noble family. In the 16th century, the parents obtained a large fief, and the widow of the descendant of a well-known military general, Princess Novomali, who had reached the age of 10, was dissatisfied with the fascist government’s imposition of high taxes and taught her to leave Italy and built a Florence-style villa near Cannes. She ordered large stones from Italy to fill the living room walls and hand-painted ceilings by foreign painters. She even collected exquisite and unique bronzes. Eliot, who doesn’t like Italian furniture, has to admit that these furniture are gorgeous and noble, and there is a delicate swimming pool in the garden. She often holds grand banquets, and every time there are 20 guests. She plans to hold a masquerade ball on the full moon, although it is still three weeks away, it is already a hot topic in the Azur. On that night, not only will fireworks be set off, but many dead princes and nobles will also perform in the Paris symphony orchestra. They are both envious and jealous of this event, and think that the funds for this event are equal to their life for one year.
It’s so luxurious, people say
It’s crazy. People say
It’s so tacky that the family says
What are you going to wear? Eliot asked me.
Didn’t I tell you, Eliot, I’m not going to join you? Can I still dress in colorful clothes at my age?
She didn’t invite me. He sighed and looked at me with tired eyes.
Oh, she will invite you. I said indifferently that the invitation letter has not been sent yet.
She won’t invite me. His voice is hoarse. It’s a deliberate embarrassment.
Come on, Eliot, I don’t believe she was careless.
I can’t be ignored.
Anyway, you can’t go in such poor health.
Of course I’m going. It’s the best party of the season. Even if I’m really dying, I’ll climb to the table. I’ll wear Count Loria’s clothes.
I don’t know what to say to be silent.
Shortly before you entered the door, Paul Barton also came to see me, Eliot suddenly said
I must have forgotten this character’s writing, so I have to turn to the front to see if I have taken the name Paul Barton, that is, Eliot introduced the American youth to the London circle. Later, he recognized Eliot’s value and left him out. Eliot was bitter. Paul Barton recently became a semi-public figure, first naturalized in Britain, and then married the daughter of a newspaper tycoon, who was even knighted. He had a tough background and exquisite prospects. Eliot was really mean about this.
Every time I wake up in the middle of the night and hear rats scratching around in the clapboard, I say Paul Barton wants to climb again. Believe me, he will definitely enter the house. Fortunately, I won’t live to see it then. Thank God.
What’s he doing here? I asked. It was clear that this guy would never visit for no reason.
I’m telling you, Eliot said angrily that he actually wanted to borrow the gift from Count Gloria.
I’m so embarrassed
Do you know what he means? He knows that Edna hasn’t invited me yet, and she doesn’t intend to invite me. She persuaded him to come to this bitch. If it weren’t for me, she wouldn’t have held many banquets for her today. She knows her friends and I introduced you. It’s Barton who told me that she was going to light the garden and set off fireworks. Barton also said that many people pestered Edna to get an invitation letter, but she refused to make sure that the banquet was all over the nebula. He said this as if I didn’t get an invitation letter, it was incredible.
Did you lend him your clothes?
Lend him to hell first, and I’ll use it as a shroud. Eliot sits up and wobbles. Crazy woman, alas, it’s cruel. He said I hate them. I hate people. When I gave them a banquet, people all praised me. Now I’m old and sick, so I can’t give it away. I haven’t visited me for ten months since I fell ill. This week, it’s even more shabby. I try my best to arrange all the meals and drinks. I’m responsible for the errands. I’ll arrange the big and small banquets. I don’t even
This old man, who has stepped into the coffin with one foot, cried like a child because he was not invited to the party. It is really regrettable that this scene does not shock me, but also makes me feel sad and unbearable.
No Eliot, I said it wouldn’t rain that day, so the party was ruined
He laughed before the tears dried when he grabbed me as the drowning man caught the straw.
I didn’t expect that. Then I’ll pray more devoutly than usual for rain. You’re right, so the party will be ruined.
I finally diverted Eliot’s attention from trivial matters. Although he was not particularly happy when I left, he was much calmer, but I didn’t want to stop there. When I got home, I immediately told Edna Novomali that I had to go to Cannes the next day and ask her if she could have lunch. She said that she was very welcome, but there was no banquet that day. Even though I saw ten guests besides her the next day, she was actually not bad, generous and hospitable. The biggest problem was that she couldn’t be gossiped about her friends even if she was familiar with it, but this was because she was too much. There is no other way to attract people’s attention except to speak ill of others. Her bad words are widely hurt by her. Usually, she doesn’t, but she holds a lively party. Most people will forget about it after a while. If I directly ask her to invite Eliot to the party, Eliot will lose face, so I decided to sound out first. She is looking forward to this great event. She kept talking during lunch.
Eliot will be glad that I have the opportunity to wear Philip II’s ceremony.
I didn’t invite him, she said
What? I asked, pretending to be surprised
What do you want him? He’s already important in the circle. He’s annoying and snobbish. He likes to tell ugly things about others.
These criticisms can also be heard in her body and ears, which really satirizes the woman’s ignorance
Besides, I have asked Paul to borrow Eliot’s gift. He must look handsome in it.
I didn’t speak again, but I made up my mind to get Eliot’s unforgettable invitation letter by hook or by crook. After lunch, Edna took the guests around the garden to give me a chance. I had been a guest here for a few days, so I knew the family pattern and guessed that the invitation letter should be redundant. I hurried to put it in a secret room and write Eliot’s name. I knew very well that he was seriously ill and would definitely go to dinner, but I was shocked when I knocked on the door. Because Edna was sitting at the table secretly, she was still eating lunch, said a middle-aged Scottish woman.
She didn’t invite you.
