The first update

"Edgar Allan Poe? Oh, are you talking about that unknown American author? ”

Carlyle deliberately pretended to be suddenly enlightened, clapped his hands and said with a smile, "The reasoning is good, and it is very suitable for passing the time in his spare time, but although this subject may bring His Excellency Trotsky a great income, it is difficult for the eyes of literary critics, right?" They will only classify this subject matter as a third-rate work, and they will be ashamed of it. ”

After hearing the mockery in the other party's tone, Garion also deliberately did not speak. After Carlyle published the book "The French Revolution", the whole person began to become proud, after all, this book is his greatest achievement. When The French Revolution was published unscripted, it was immediately praised and the book was a great success, and many people began to invite him to give lectures, and the original financial dilemma was solved.

Just as the academics looked down on the pioneers of Impressionism, Carlyle also believed that Sherlock Holmes was like a third-rate person who passed the time, and had no impact on the development of society.

"I don't know why when I see you, I always think of another Parisian writer, who is supposed to be as young as you, but who writes books that are hundreds of times better than yours. Surely you've heard his name, his name is Garion. ”

Except for Turgenev, even Dickens didn't know Gallian's identity in London, they just regarded Garion as a mystery writer who suddenly became popular from London two years ago, but no one followed him

Turgenev was about to say something, but was stopped by Galian reaching out. He smiled and nodded, making a gesture of please.

"I think the principal is right, and he doesn't hesitate to teach."

Looking at Garion's mischievous expression, Turgenev did not pierce the layer of paper, but stayed aside and continued to watch the excitement. even looked at Carlisle in front of him with some distress - I didn't expect this old man to have today.

Dickens stood aside, not wanting to turn on the others present, but still asked Turgenev in a whisper if he needed to end the conversation. Then Turgenev approached his left ear, and after a few words to him, Dickens let out a small exclamation.

"You can still do that."

Turgenev deliberately made a silent gesture to signal him to continue watching the plot unfold.

Carlisle coughed deliberately, put on a straight face, and began to educate Galian.

"I can still see the work written by that guy named Garion. In particular, his first book, 1984, simply turned my imagination on its head. It turns out that it can still play like this. Your "Sherlock Holmes" series is just a mystery that disrupts the storyline, and when it comes to social responsibility, less than one percent. ”

Garion nodded and said in agreement, "Yes, some people write books for the people, some people write books for money, and some people write books for status, so I want to ask Your Excellency Carlisle, when you wrote "The French Revolution", what was it for?" Saying that you are for the sake of the people, you are obviously British, but you ran to write the history of France, are you a traitor to Great Britain who loves France? ”

"Poof."

Everyone present desperately held back the shaking of their shoulders, and Garion's words were so gloomy that they blocked Carlisle's mouth at once. The other party blushed and retorted, "I, as an Englishman, why can't I write the history of France?" ”

Garion looked into his eyes, pretended to be ignorant, and asked rhetorically, "Don't you know that England and France were all enemies before?" ”

Carlisle replied eloquently, "History has nothing to do with position. I was purely interested in this history. ”

The charcoal in the fireplace burned red, snapped in two with a click, and sparks flew everywhere.

As in response to Carlisle's response.

The atmosphere was a little dreary, and Tennyson felt a little stuffy, and he didn't have time to pay attention to the two of them, so he walked to the window and pushed it open.

A cold wind poured into the hall, instantly sobering the drowsy minds of everyone present.

"Then why don't you write a history of the British Revolution? Do you feel that after writing the history of the British Revolution, no publisher will dare to accept your manuscript? ”

“……”

Carlisle walked to the table on his own, feeling that he was losing his identity to continue. However, Garion did not give up and gave up on questioning him.

"Okay, let's put it another way, in fact the Chancellor of the University of Edinburgh is a republican sympathizer who cares about the revolution, and he wants to write articles about the innocent rebels against the royal power to continue fighting, but he can't write anything about the revolution in his own country, otherwise the present glory and wealth will disappear in an instant. So he chose the history of France, which is half an ally and half an enemy on the other side of the English Channel, and skillfully used the way of satirizing the past and the present to write a best-selling work in London. Am I right? ”

The hand that was about to pick up the cup retracted in an instant, and Carlisle turned around, looking angry, and yelled at Garion, "It's nonsense, it's nonsense. How could I possibly oppose a constitutional monarchy in the UK, which is the best system. ”

Garian pretended to be innocent and said, "But you fanatically advocated a republic in 'The French Revolution'. It's hard to think that you don't harbor bad intentions. ”

Garion said earnestly, "I don't know if the people before have noticed this, if someone detects it, I'm afraid I won't be able to sit still in the headmaster position with an annual salary of four or five hundred pounds." ”

After some excessive interpretation and misinterpretation, Carlisle finally realized that the person in front of him was not simple.

"And to tell the truth, you simply reduce the revolution to stupid and selfish retribution for dynasties and nobles. In support of this concise and understandable concept, a large number of valuable literature is also cited; It's just a pity that this is only a superficial factor. You don't see the deeper, about society, about capital, about the land, and as society develops, the collapse of the Bourbons is a matter of course. As for why the Glorious Revolution took place in England, it was only a compromise between the bourgeoisie and the feudal royal family. With the development of history, the influence of the royal family on politics will become smaller and smaller, and in less than a hundred years, it will only become a political mascot. ”

Garrian's deafening analysis and alarmist remarks frightened Carlisle back several steps, and he asked in horror, "Who the hell are you?" Why do you know so much? ”

Garion smiled slightly, raised his head again, looked at the headmaster of Edinburgh in front of him, and said calmly, "I am the author of the Sherlock Holmes series, with the pen name Conan Doyle and the pseudonym Trotsky. ”

What he said next made Carlisle stunned in place.

"As for his real name, it's the Garion you just touted."
