Chapter 421 – Bao Zhongtang

“Is Mr. Allen busy?” Audrey Hepburn asked with some curiosity, “What kind of a man is he.”

You’re definitely asking the right person if you’re asking what an Indo-British man is like. Alim coughed softly and said, “Honorable lady, this is a very complex issue, each person is a complex individual, however, the merits of Allen’s body, lies in the acceptance of people above the humility, to everyone has goodwill, forgiveness and empathy above, he is undoubtedly a model, and the most important thing is to have a sense of social responsibility, and is willing to do everything in his power to help other people ……”

As a non-normative Brit, Alim’s complexion actually multiplies the effect of compliments, including, but not limited to, portraying Alan Wilson from his personal character to his work history.

“Even to you, I just contacted Mr. Allen, he instantly thought of the scene of meeting you in Riverside at that time, if it is not in the can not leave, to fly back from North America, to help you arrange your life in London, and then go back.”

“Rather do not need to be so important la, I’m okay.” Audrey Hepburn smiled somewhat shyly and said, “I just arrived in London, but also just happened to think, once Alan left contact information, said that if there is an opportunity to be in London, you can contact him.”

Alim after listening, heart decided to revise their own just made judgment, about Alan Wilson is not an old colorful batch of the assertion, after having this incident as a corroboration, the judgment is still too hasty, now it seems that the maharajah’s this British friend, the appetite is very good, and not very picky about food.

“Respectfully, madam, you may now speak frankly of any difficulty you may have.” As Ali Khan’s steward in London, in a certain sense Alim represented Ali Khan’s position in the eyes of London, for a long time he had been discriminated against because of the color of his skin, but Ali Khan’s huge financial power was obviously a powerful tool to overcome this discrimination, and Alim thought himself to be able to do things in London as well.

“I would like to further my studies at the Mary Lambert Ballet School, and I wonder if I can help.” Audrey Hepburn, upon hearing this, immediately stated that this was her biggest dream at this stage.

“Leave it to me to maneuver!” Although Alim was in two minds, his mouth did not find it difficult at all to agree. Being of Indian descent means having this confidence, regardless of whether it can be done afterward, it is always right to agree first, not to mention that this matter should not be difficult.

Through contacts, Alim knew that the owner of Mary Lambert Ballet School was Mrs. Lambert.

Mrs. Lambert was Polish, sixty years old this year, and was the soul of the English ballet world, having been sent by Poland to Paris to study medicine, but had thrown herself into the arts to study dance.

Mrs. Lambert then became a British citizen and in the thirties formed the Lambert Ballet, the first professional ballet company in the United Kingdom, which gave a series of performances in the United States and around the world with great success.

By now it was known around the world as the soul of British ballet, and Alim inquired about the details, but did not think it was necessary to go door-to-door to find Mrs. Lambert; after all, it was only a matter of enrollment, and could not be talked about as significant.

This matter Alim think, need to get a letter of introduction from Mrs. Lambert’s hands, but can not let Mrs. Lambert herself too much concern, grasp the fire is extremely important.

Whitehall Treasury civil servants, the most well-connected group, as it happens, as Ali Khan’s butler, Alim often deal with these people, since the revision of Alan Wilson whether there is a man and woman judgment, he has understood that this matter can not be borrowed by Alan Wilson’s network to do.

After all, the Mountbatten family has a high status in London, and Allen Wilson’s fiancée, Pamela Mountbatten, if she knows about this matter, it may make it difficult for Ali Khan’s Maharaja’s friends, so this matter he can only use the Maharaja’s connections to do it, to eliminate the influence on Allen Wilson.

Why else would the British Empire like to use Indians? And the United States in the latter days also liked to use people of Indian descent? Because, of course, Indian descent is really very dogged potential, subject to the telegram Allen Wilson are feeling that many things Alim more reliable than the real Britain.

Audrey Hepburn’s dream now is to be a ballerina, something Allen Wilson knows. In fact, Europe is much more old-fashioned than the United States, Vivien Leigh in London, but also think that stage actors and acting in the movie is not much different.

Of course, this situation is not only Europe exists, in the latter part of China also exists, many TV drama actors are from the drama stage, the hero does not ask for origin. Audrey Hepburn’s dream of wanting to be a ballerina is not surprising.

“It seems like Elizabeth Taylor, too, came from ballet.” Alan Wilson’s thinking was unconsciously a little skewed.

As a British civil servant, of course he hoped that his country’s actors and actresses, can stand on the world stage more often, this kind of thinking is very normal, not mixed with any evil thoughts, may be not mixed, maybe not mixed, so what if it is mixed?

Alan Wilson felt that perhaps it was time for him to be a hero behind the scenes, watching the rising stars of the British Empire take to the world stage, so very fulfilling.

He did not know that his response to Audrey Hepburn left a deep impression, because Audrey Hepburn has been in the middle of life constraints, has had the idea of returning to the Netherlands. It was his response that allowed Audrey Hepburn to still have a foothold in London!

Now Alan Wilson, running his own radio persona, because of the arrival of four Hollywood actresses, knowing human nature, he directly made the fireside chat into a radio interview, these Hollywood actresses from the seemingly neutral, but in fact completely non-neutral point of view, to express the bullishness of Newfoundland, the United States, Canada can not be …… Newfoundland, the line ……

How could he have been so idle as Mountbatten at this time, practicing the code of wealth everywhere inspections; visiting schools and universities; laying the foundation stone of a new project; cutting the ribbon on the inauguration of a new hospital; accepting an honorary degree.

Constantly praising the Indian people of all virtues and ancient splendid culture, said as long as all the Indian people live in harmony, work together, India’s future is very promising. Everywhere he went, he was warmly received by his hospitable hosts.

Although the purpose of doing things is the same, but the inhabitants of Newfoundland is not as good as the Indians, want to successfully deceive, we must take out enough sincerity.

Some words Allen Wilson said, and these eye-catching big beautiful women say is completely different. As long as you follow his script and capture the hearts of the residents of Newfoundland with a melodious voice, who says it doesn’t require acting?

With four actresses on board, the effect was a step up, take an ordinary Newfoundland resident, Boris, whose life was of a very straitened kind in Newfoundland, and who, in addition to what he had accumulated before, was now left with only one set of clothes, with a shirt, a stiff collar, tie, a pair of shoes that were already almost worn out, and a pair of socks that had holes all over them. He also had an overcoat, which he would pawn as a last resort, and five pounds in cash. He had a suitcase, a broken thing made of cardboard.

What was in the chest was, in fact, medals and photographs and odds and ends. Despite this, Boris always managed to keep up a decent appearance.

He shaved with a razor blade that was two months old, didn’t use soap, tied his tie so you couldn’t see the holes in it, and carefully plugged the eyes in his shoes with newspaper. Finally, after dressing, he took out a bottle of ink to blacken the skin exposed by the holes in his socks.

Even this resident, who shares his name with the latter-day Great Britain’s Lt. Bow, is stirred by the appearance of the radio from time to time, not to mention some of the local residents who are getting by perfectly well.

For Boris, what he most thought to recognize was the special status of Newfoundland, coupled with the fact that he had enlisted in the army and believed some of Alan Wilson’s descriptions of the European market, and this time was prepared to use all his belongings to make a furtive attempt to show that he endorsed the views of the administrator of Newfoundland.

Although St. John’s is the capital of Newfoundland, it is actually only a few tens of thousands of people in size, and it is easy to find even a local administrator if one is so inclined.

Boris, a veteran with little else going for him, only had time to spare and actually blocked Allen Wilson at the Newfoundland Parliament building, nearly causing a couple of Ustashas to draw their guns.

“Mr. Allen, I’m a local resident.” Boris introduced himself, doing his best to maintain decency.

Reaching out to stop the Ustasha’s impulses, this was a perfect event to express an act of kinship, Allen Wilson had already seen a dozen or so residents not far away noticing this side of the street, and said in a pleasant manner, “Hello sir, no need to speak with detachment, just call me Allen, and if there’s anything you can tell me, you can say it straight away.”

“Hello Mr. Allen, my name is Boris, I’m a local.” Boris saw that his words were answered, barely maintaining this reserve he introduced himself.

“Bao? Boris?” Allen Wilson heard this name? Look up and down a bit, and his impression of Bao Zhongtang is far away, only wearing some similarities, the same unkempt, the same look exquisite, take a closer look to see the unique temperament, how good clothes to wear all look earthy.

Because of a name, Alan Wilson more polite, there is still some time today, first listen to what this Boris said, and said that the two can find a tavern to eat and talk, anyway, St. Johns is so big, there is nothing to go.

Once at the tavern, for the first ten minutes of the two men’s church, all he heard was that Boris had a slice of loyalty to the British Empire, and appeared to be supposed to be a member of the one-eighth of Newfoundland group.

Eventually Alan Wilson had to interrupt Bow’s slice of loyalty to indicate if he had any ideas on personal development.

“If you come to receive the company to settle things, do you have any ideas?” Allen Wilson took the initiative to ask.
