Inzalelwane yaseCarnegie Hill, ungoyena mntu ulibbyist omncinci eWashington, DC Xa wayemncinci, watyelela eMontpelier, Va., Ukubona ikhaya likaJames Madison. U-docent wandixelela ukuba akukho sikhumbuzo sikaJames Madison-Ndothuke kakhulu, utshilo uNksk. Nagel. Khange ndimkholelwe ncam, ke ndiyiphandile kwaye ndafumanisa ukuba ewe, akukho litye lesikhumbuzo eMall, kwiHolo laseFederal, akukho nto, i-Independence Square, akukho nto! Waqala ukudibana noJoseph Ellis, umbhali-mbali owaphumelela amabhaso ePulitzer, waze waqalisa umbutho obizwa ngokuba ngamaMelika eMadison. Kwaye wangena ebhodini, U-Nagel uthe. Kwaye ndisebenza neenkongolo.
U-Louise Mirrer, umongameli woluntu, weza ngokuzanga. Uyamangalisa ngokwenene, UNks Mirrer uthe ngoHadley.
Umama kaNks Nagel, uSusan Nagel-umbhali onencwadi yakhe UMarie-Therese , malunga nentombi kaMarie Antoinette, isandula ukupapashwa kwiphepha elibhaliweyo-yeyona fan yakhe inkulu. Ndithi ndinqwenela ukukhula ndize ndibe nguHadley ngenye imini!
Isifuba sikaHadley siyamangalisa ngokwenene. Ngentwasahlobo ephelileyo, waqeqeshwa kwintengiso yeCason Nightingale. UHadley udibanisa lonke ulwazi anokulufuna kwixesha elizayo, utshilo u-CEO wenkampani kunye nomongameli (kunye nomhlobo wosapho), uCason Nightingale, emnxebeni. Andazi ukuba ikamva lakhe linjani. Mhlawumbi ubongameli? UHadley ukwangumsunguli we-www.Playintraffic.com, indawo yeWebhu yokuhamba yolutsha kwilizwe liphela. Ndiyakuthanda ukuhamba, utshilo.

Ukufumana kwam isifundiswa, utata wam-uJon Nagel, unobhala wenkampani kwinkampani yezezimali kwihlabathi liphela-wayecinga ukuba ngomnye wabahlobo bakhe osidlalayo, utshilo uHadley ehleka. Ndiyathetha, andizange ndifake isicelo sayo, ngoko kwakungekho ngokupheleleyo eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka!
‘Andazi ukuba ikamva lakhe linjani. Mhlawumbi kubongameli? ’—Umhlobo wosapho
USusan Nagel uthe yena kunye nentombi yakhe basebenzisana ngobuchule. Siyakhuthazana. Ngexesha lokuhamba kwethu, nanjengentombazana encinci kakhulu, uhlala enolwazi ngakumbi kunamaqhuqhuva. Wayekhe wanikwa umsebenzi kwiTower of London kuba ebuze indima kaLady Jane Grey kwinto ethile. EWinterthur, xa wayeneminyaka emithandathu kuphela, wakhomba ikhandlela wathi, ‘Ayibonakali ngathi yeyaseMelika.’ Yayiyinto ebuyiswe ngunozakuzaku evela eRashiya-ekuphela kwento endlwini eyayingeyoyaseMelika. Waye Ntandathu . Uza kujongana njani noxinzelelo lokwahlukana olusondeleyo? Ndikholelwe, sonwabile uya eBaltimore kuphela! Kukuhamba ngololiwe kuphela. Oku kufanelekile, njengoko uHadley eneebhola ezintathu zokuqala ezizayo: IBhola yeMbasa yeNew York Junior League; UMbutho iSt. Nicholas; kunye neJunior Assemblies.
Sisondelene kakhulu, utshilo uHadley malunga nonina. Ndicinga ukuba kubi xa abakwishumi elivisayo befihla izinto kubazali babo kuba emva koko ababathembi, kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo sinobudlelwane obuvulekileyo. Siyacebisana sobabini. Ndiyamthemba! Wayekwishumi elivisayo, naye. Xa abazali beba ngabahlobo abasenyongweni babantwana babo kodwa abangabazali, ayilunganga loo nto. Ngokuqinisekileyo ndiyazi ukuba yintoni loo mgca.
