On this day, Dena and Alice were not disturbed in any way, and the second day, the third day, and the fourth day were like this.

"These guys are really useless!" Back in the small attic, Dena fell on the bed, stared at the glass tiles on the roof, and scolded.

"Dena, who are you talking about? Who you off? Alice grinned and poured herself and Dena a a glass of water, and then walked over gently, "Get up and drink water, I'm dying of thirst, and you're not thirsty at all?" ”

Dena sat up, took the glass from Alice's hand, and drank it all in a gulp.

Watching Dena's movements, Alice couldn't help but want to laugh a little. In her opinion, although Miss Dena is very powerful, she learns almost everything well, and in these days of getting along, Miss Dena's breadth of knowledge, profound and keen insights, and serious and capable of doing things have left a deep impression on her, but Miss Dena is a half-grown child after all, and sometimes she is obviously a little childish. For example, when she is outside, no matter what she is doing, Miss Dena is very polite. And once she returned to her room, she seemed to be deliberately trying to do something against the outside image, how to come if she was not a lady. For example, if her mother saw this action of drinking water, she would be very angry. Moreover, this kind of expression also reminded Alice of some descriptions of Dena in the materials she had seen before leaving.

"Miss Dena may have been so desperate for freedom because of the pressure of her family, and she was a deliberate rebel. Every time she goes out, Miss Dena deliberately creates something unexpected, and one of her favorite things is hide and seek with the people in charge of the guards. Therefore, when you are in charge of Miss Dena's safety and security, you must not only be careful of other external dangers, but also be careful of Miss Dena herself, so as not to be accidentally dumped by Miss Dena. ”

"Those guys he said are really useless, shouldn't he mean those hooligans? Maybe Miss Dena just wants to take advantage of the hooligans' troublemaking to get rid of me and the people who are secretly protecting her, and play hide and seek with us? It seems that we really need to be vigilant. Alice thought.

……

After a rather uneventful time in the UK, Dena completed her report on the state of care in the UK hospitals, and then left the UK to travel to France as planned.

France in 1889 was the bustling time, with the Paris Exposition Universelle taking place, where all sorts of new gadgets from all over the world gathered. At the end of June of that year, Dena and Alice arrived in Paris.

Dena soon found a new job in Paris, a female journalist.

More than 10 years ago, the rare Cheng dù of female journalists was still similar to the South China tiger of later generations, and now, although female reporters are still very rare, the rare Cheng dù has been reduced from the level of the South China tiger, which may or may not exist, to the level of at least whether it exists or not, and can still be seen in zoos from time to time.

This is mainly because in recent years, the second industrial revolution brought about by the popularization of electricity has caused a large number of large and small rioters to emerge in various countries. The children of these families are educated. At the same time, there is a growing demand for educated women. This has led to a significant increase in the number of women who have access to education, and more women have begun to leave the home and enter industries that were previously dominated by men. Journalists are one of them.

But the mainstream newspapers, or the conservative ones, still can't accept female journalists, so the newspapers that Dena now works for can only be left-wing newspapers. Most of these newspapers are very unstable, and they may open today, but tomorrow they will be closed down because they have published some out-of-date articles. Of course, this is definitely not to restrict freedom of speech, but to maintain social order.

But left-wing newspapers also have their own readership, so while there is such a danger, although left-wing newspapers are constantly being shut down, new left-wing newspapers are constantly appearing. Now Dena has found a left-wing newspaper that has just started to start, the Morning Star.

Strictly speaking, this newspaper is not a new newspaper, because its investors, editors-in-chief, and journalists have been working together for a long time. It's just that their newspaper used to be called "The Banner", then "Bright Light", then "Alarm Bell", and later ...... Now it's called the Morning Star.

"Miss Dena, do you know the tendencies of our newspaper?" Armand, the editor-in-chief, asked if their newspaper really needed reporters now, and that they were not conceptually averse to female journalists. However, it is better not to have the opposite political tendency of the journalist than the newspaper, otherwise everyone will find it very uncomfortable.

"I know something, you're left-wing newspapers." Dena replied, "If not, you wouldn't have a female reporter." ”

"Ah, yes, supporting equality between men and women, equal pay for men and women for equal work is what we have always believed." Armand laughed. Then he began to take the examination for Dena's knowledge.

"I can't say I've gone to college, in fact, I'm raising money for college." "I'm from Cleveland, and you know there's a good polytechnic school. Unfortunately, although they admit female students, their tuition fees are very high. I completed high school in Cleveland and taught myself some sociology, math, and engineering, as well as French and German. I think I'm up to the job of a journalist. In particular, my math and science and engineering subjects are just pretty good, and now that the World Exposition is being held in Paris, there are a lot of new science and engineering related things, which is my advantage. ”

In this era, few women would study mathematics and science and engineering, and even later generations would have a habitual belief that this profession should be men's territory. So Armand was immediately interested, and he himself studied mathematics when he was studying at the Ecole Normale Supérieure de Paris (the name of the École Normale Supérieure in Paris is very earthy, but this school is definitely the top university in France and even in Europe). So he randomly gave Dena a few math problems that were not too difficult. And this kind of Cheng dù's question is not difficult for Dena at all, she can easily solve it.

"Well, that's good." Armand said, "So in the social sciences, what books have you read?" ”

"In liberal terms, I have read The Wealth of Nations, and in left-wing social economics, I have read The Economic Manuscripts of 1844, Critique of Political Economics, The Theory of Surplus Value, and part of Capital." Dena replied. And the list of books she said made Armand's eyes widen at once—a reading volume that even weighed on most college students who specialized in sociology.

So Armand came up with several social phenomena and asked Dena to use her knowledge to analyze them. As a result, he was once again surprised to see that Dena was indeed not bragging, and that not only had she read these books, but she could even understand them and use them. Her analysis of some socio-economic phenomena is even more profound than Armand's own answers.

"How can a young girl have such an opinion?" Armand thought so, he certainly didn't know how many similar cases the retired Scrooge had analyzed for Dena and them in Duck Castle.

Of course, Dena's analysis is not flawless, at least, there is one problem that is very obvious. That is, Dena's expression is too direct and too sharp.

"Very good analysis." "It's just that in terms of expression, it's too direct." Miss Dena, if such language were published directly in the newspapers, I am sure that in a few days our newspapers would be shut down again. But that's nothing? It's just a different name. It's just that sometimes our reporters will be arrested for a while. Miss Dena, you're a lovely young lady, and we don't want you to be caught in that kind of place. Therefore, when you analyze this kind of problem in your article in the future, it is better to be more tactful. Anyway, your talent conquered me...... Welcome, Comrade Dena! You are welcome to join us in the fight for the truth! Armand held out his hand to Dena.

The theory of socialism, Dena has been exposed to for a long time, but she is more exposed to some political and economic things. Scrooge was very careful when choosing teaching materials for his children, after all, children are easily motivated by the great goals of justice, and if they are taught to become proletarian fighters, will it not be a shooting at their own feet? So to those works that point to the elements of the revolution, such as the Manifesto, Scrooge would not let such children learn. Of course, even economics in its purest form contains revolutionary ideas, but Scrooge doesn't teach there, and Dena, although she has a hazy feeling, doesn't seriously think about it, and in general, her attention is almost entirely on the question of "what the world is", and she doesn't think much about "how the world should be". Naturally, there is limited interest in the socialist movement. So now Armand suddenly showed this enthusiasm, which made Dena a little surprised. But surprise to surprise, Dena felt a kind of sincerity from Armand's enthusiasm, a sincerity without a calculation of interests. And that's exactly what you don't have in Duck Castle. In the duck castle, there is Mephistopheles (the devil who seduces Faust), a negating genie who constantly tears off the veil of warmth that hangs over family relationships and replaces them with clear and intelligible calculable monetary ties. He taught the children wisely, and he also taught the children cold. And this sudden appearance of sincere enthusiasm made Dena resist and like it at the same time.

"Comrade Dena," said Armand, "we will soon have a heavy job, which is to interview the ...... of the 'Socialist International'" r1o58
