188: Chapter 131 Expansion of Intelligence Channels_3
And he didn’t just do this in Parliant; he acted the sa way whether he was at a sermon, in debates with colleagues, and even at dinner parties.
Viscount lbourne’s conduct naturally earned him high praise within Parliant.
mbers from both the Whig and the Tory parties declared that Viscount lbourne could truly be considered the most cultured mber in all of Great Britain, for no one had ever heard him curse soone in Parliant.
Perhaps it was because of this attitude that even when the Tory Party was in power, he would not be excluded from the Cabinet on party grounds, which was an important reason for Viscount lbourne’s appointnt as Minister for Irish Affairs.
Having said so much, the topic inevitably falls back on Viscount lbourne’s sister, Lady Copper.
Lady Cordington placed such importance on Lady Copper’s arrival because Lady Ponsonby, a female writer fond of literature, had also been a mber of the Bluestocking Society.
Therefore, to avoid the embarrassnt her sister-in-law had encountered, Lady Copper would usually tactfully decline the dinner invitations from mbers of the Bluestocking Society.
However, her willingness to visit a Bluestocking Society gathering today was certainly giving Lady Cordington face.
Of course, this might also have sothing to do with her sister-in-law, Lady Ponsonby, having passed away two years prior.
Perhaps it was for this reason that Lady Copper started to consider whether to extend her influence into the Bluestocking Society.
Arthur hid in a small corner of the lounge, pinching an onion ring, while he listened to Eld regaling him with these high-society gossip stories.
After listening, he couldn’t help saying to Eld, “Eld, perhaps you could consider becoming a novelist.
If you compiled all this stuff you know into booklets, I guarantee they would sell like hotcakes in London.”
Eld imdiately waved his hands, “Don’t joke about that!
Don’t you rember what happened to Lady Ponsonby when she wrote ‘Granarvan’?
Because Lady Jersey was displeased with her portrayal in the novel, she angrily expelled Lady Ponsonby from Almack’s Club.
As a result, many parties didn’t dare to invite Lady Ponsonby.
I still want to mix in London, could you not always suggest these bad ideas to ?”
Hearing this, Arthur just smiled and took a handkerchief from the table to wipe the grease from his hands.
“If you’re worried that publishing this stuff will have a negative impact, then why not just not publish it?”
Eld frowned, “How will I earn money if I don’t publish?”
Arthur smiled and took out a parchnt paper bag from his own bag and handed it to Eld, “After you go back, write down everything you know into manuscripts and put them in here.
Each of your stories will be treated as archival material.
It won’t appear before anyone’s eyes except for those who should see it.
And I assure you, for every piece of material you write, the paynt will not be cheap.
Although it might not compare to the gains from novel publishing, it’s safer and more stable.”
Eld looked at the parchnt paper bag, which was simply stamped with a few words—London Area Temporary asurent and Survey Statistics Bureau.
He raised an eyebrow, whistled, and said, “I see, so this is what you guys are investigating?
Just tell
straight, how much money have you prepared?”
Arthur cradled a glass of red wine and gently swirled it, the aroma wafting up.
“How much money I can prepare all depends on how much useful information you can provide .
Eld, you should know that only when useful to the higher-ups can one attain a more important position.
With position cos funding, and with funding, I can give more to you.
So, what kind of information do you think can help
increase my importance?”
