Lucy was suffering from the most grievous wrong which this world has yet discovered: diplomatic advantage had been taken of her sincerity, of her craving for sympathy and love. Such a wrong is not easily forgotten. Never again did she expose herself without due consideration and precaution against rebuff. And such a wrong may react disastrously upon the soul. Lucy遭受著世界上還未發(fā)現(xiàn)的最嚴(yán)重的不公：她的真摯以及她對(duì)同情和愛的渴望被人利用以服務(wù)外交。此等不公沒可能輕易忘記。沒有經(jīng)過深思熟慮和做好應(yīng)對(duì)斷然拒絕的預(yù)防措施她不會(huì)再次出現(xiàn)在大眾面前。并且此等不公對(duì)一個(gè)人的靈魂來(lái)說(shuō)可能是毀滅性的打擊。
