Well, I was perfectly honest and square with her; told her I hadn’t a cent in the world but just the million-pound note she’d heard so much talk about, and it didn’t belong to me, and that started her curiosity; and then I talked low, and told her the whole history right from the start, and it nearly killed her laughing. What in the nation she could find to laugh about I couldn’t see, but there it was; every half-minute some new detail would fetch her, and I would have to stop as much as a minute and a half to give her a chance to settle down again. Why, she laughed herself lame –she did, indeed; I never saw anything like it. I mean I never saw a painful story–a story of a person’s troubles and worries and fears–produce just that kind of effect before. So I loved her all the more, seeing she could be so cheerful when there wasn’t anything to be cheerful about; for I might soon need that kind of wife, you know, the way things looked.
鉴定过了，
空手道高手一枚，
晚会玩的真是高兴，
都开始规划，
未来的小日子了。
不过，
才初次见面，
就亮光底牌，
如此的坦诚相告，
在这样一个，
上流社会的场合，
实属不易，
还真有一点点希望，
这个故事的结尾，
一个好结局。
