The next day.

After breakfast, John said goodbye to Rorschach and took his family brother and three carriages to his return journey.

The goods on the carriage also changed from bottles of private wine to meat products such as bacon and sausage.

Since it is rare to come to Valentine, of course I have to bring some specialties back...

Standing at the entrance of the hotel and watching the Braceways family slowly move away, Roche suddenly heard a pleasant voice behind him:

"Mr. Rorschach, good morning!"

Turning around in the sound, what caught my eye was a fair and beautiful face.

It's Penelope!

Today's "Juliet" has changed into a more suitable outfit for fun:

The light blue tight high-neck jacket, paired with a slightly raised hip Basir skirt, is a waterfall-like blonde hair tied into an elegant bun with black ribbons.

Paired with the parasol in your hand and the khaki high-heeled leather boots under your feet, you look like an urban woman who travels from a big city to a small town!

It can also be seen that she has made sufficient preparations for this trip.

Taking off his hat and greeted Rorschach, smiling back, "Good morning, Miss Penelope. Did you sleep well last night?"

"very nice!"

Judging from her slightly red complexion, we can see that she is not exaggerating.

Perhaps it was because I was away from those annoying cousins ​​and my mood suddenly improved a lot, and even my complexion improved.

"Let's go for breakfast first, Valentine's fried egg bacon is pretty good, you can try it."

"Okay. Wait for me..."

Even Smith Tavern is diagonally opposite the hotel, less than ten meters away.

However, Penelope opened the exquisite parasol in his hand and supported it on his head with one hand.

Now, this is the elegance of the Western Lady!

Just as Roche was sighing in his heart, Penelope's next move surprised him:

She took a step forward, stood beside Roxar, and then held Roxar's arm with her hands:

"Okay, let's go."

Rorsch was slightly stunned by Penelope's sudden physical contact.

However, when I think that this may be a kind of etiquette for men in this era to show gentlemanly demeanor, I feel relieved.

He had to raise his left arm slightly, keeping his hand in a very stiff position, and walk side by side with Penelope.

Leather boots stepped on the muddy black street, frowned slightly, and Penelope said:

"I wanted to say yesterday that the taste here is really... special..."

Yes, it smells very bad.

I complained for the eldest lady in my heart. Roche had lived in Valentine for more than a month, but she was already used to this smell.

This rich lady who rarely leaves her family manor is not very adaptable and is normal.

"I get used to it as I smell it..."

While talking, the two walked into the Smith Tavern.

As soon as I opened the salon door, I saw that there were many guests enjoying breakfast in the tavern.

Seeing Rorschach and the elegant women beside him, the guests were stunned for a moment, and then they did not forget to say hello to Rorschach:

"Good morning, Mr. Rorsch!"

"Good morning, Mosen..."

"Good morning, Mr. Rorschach..."

"Good morning…"

Roxa smiled one by one and called out the other person's name.

This is politeness and a means to gain favorable feelings.

His reputation in Valentine has accumulated bit by bit...

"Two portions of fried egg bacon, one portion of butter bread, and another portion of fried lamb steak, two cups of tea..."

After placing the order, Rorschach took Penelope to a table he usually sat on.

As soon as he sat down, Penelope joked:

"Mr. Rorsch, you are such a great Valentine celebrity, as if everyone knows you..."

In response to this, Rorschach just shrugged and changed the subject casually: "Where do you want to go for a walk later?"

Penelope seemed a little surprised at Rorschach's question, "Oh, do you want to come together too?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Xia smiled helplessly, not knowing whether it was laughing at the insimplicity of this rich lady or her innocence.

"This is for sure, I dare not let you wander around alone."

"Why?"

"Because I'm afraid that the men of Valentine will fight for your beauty and elegance." Rorschach spread his hands casually and joked.

However, the speaker is unintentional and the listener is intentional.

Penelope's eyes flashed suddenly, and his face turned a light blush, "Do you really feel this?"

"Of course, you're the most beautiful woman I've ever seen so far."

Rorschach is telling the truth.

In such backward western towns, women's skin is mostly rough and dark yellow due to their hard work and environment.

Special women who often work at night are better, but they are not as good as those of a wealthy lady like Penelope who is pampered and has a wealthy family.

However, when he saw the rosyness on Penelope's face, he realized that he seemed to have said something he shouldn't have said.

You blushed and bubble teapot!

Rorschach could not say directly, "Don't misunderstand, I'm not praising you," so he had to change the topic: "And, the outside world is not as safe as the one in the manor..."

Thinking that Rorschach was worried about his safety, Penelope nodded shyly, "Okay, let's go shopping together."

Seeing this, Roxa had to smile helplessly...

...

Soon, a hearty breakfast was presented.

The two of them were having breakfast while chatting.

At this time, Penelope, holding a knife and fork, paused, suddenly moved his attention away from the fried egg on the plate, and looked at Rorschach:

"By the way, Mr. Rorschach, are you voting?"

"vote?"

After a moment of silence, Roxar remembered that he was in the United States, which adopted the electoral system, and replied casually:

"Oh, I don't care about politics."

"So did you participate in the parade when you were in Boston?"

"I don't think that verbal protests can affect the decisions of those politicians..."

After saying that, Rorschach noticed that Penelope's brow frowned slightly and immediately woke up.

He almost forgot that the rich lady in front of him was also a feminist with progressive ideas!

I remember that in a game plot, I was afraid that "Juliet" Penelope would be killed when he attended a feminist rally, and "Romeo" Bo Gray also asked the protagonist Arthur to protect her at the rally...

Thinking of this, Rorschach changed his tone in order not to attack this independent woman who fought for more rights for women:

"Of course! I am very supportive of those warriors who work hard to make their voices for their own rights."

Nodding with satisfaction, the eldest lady of the Braceway family raised another sharp question that made Rochelle's heart tremble:

"Then what do you think of women's voting rights?"

Equality between men and women is a hot topic that has entered modern society with the collapse of feudalism.

Can women gain as much power and status as men?

In modern society, the popularity of this topic has always remained high.

Although with the development and progress of the times, the status of modern women has improved a lot.

However, there is still a long way to go to truly achieve equality between men and women.

Especially those female boxers who often do boxing are helping and provoking opposition between men and women...

Even modern society is very troubled by this matter, let alone the western part of the United States in 1899!

At this time, all industries in the United States were about to be developed and were transformed into a legal country.

With men still mastering most of the resources of the entire society, it is almost impossible to improve women's social status in a row!

Rorschach now also understood why the rest of the Braceway family, led by Lady Catherine, were so cold and even disgusted with Penelope.
Chapter completed!
