The river was a lion that morning in strength, voice, and colour. Miss Bartlett insisted on leaning over the parapet to look at it. She then made her usual remark, which was "How I do wish Freddy and your mother could see this, too!" “很好，親愛(ài)的，”Bartlett小姐愉快地說(shuō)道，臉上帶著淡淡的紅霞，這使得Lucy羞愧難當(dāng)因而臉頰上紅暈密布。她對(duì)待Charlotte的方式是多么惡劣呀！一如既往。但現(xiàn)在她該轉(zhuǎn)變了。每天早晨她都得友好地對(duì)待她。她挽住她表親的手，然后兩人開(kāi)始沿著Lung' Arno漫步。那天清晨這條河流在力量、聲音和色彩上就是一頭獅子。Bartlett小姐堅(jiān)持要靠在矮墻上看它。然后她又搬出了她常說(shuō)的話，“我是多么希望Freddy和令堂也能看看此景！”
