thanks a lot
On behalf of this conversation, we finished our lunch in silence in a harmonious atmosphere. I ordered coffee again. Larry lit a pipe. I lit a cigar and looked at him thoughtfully. He noticed that my eyes glanced at me and it was naughty.
If you think I’m stupid, just scold me and I won’t mind.
I’m not scolding you. I’m wondering if life will return to normal if you get married.
He smiled before, and he must have smiled handsomely for more than 20 times. Every time, it is more warm, sincere and charming, reflecting his frank personality and not unique charm. But here again, because of his smile, he has a little more remorse and gentleness.
It’s too late. Maybe the woman I marry will pity Sophie.
I looked at him in surprise.
After everything that has happened, can you still say that?
She is beautiful, passionate, generous and determined to win. It is also a great tragedy for her to choose my destruction method at the end of her life.
I don’t know what to think of this unusual view.
Then why didn’t you marry her then? I asked
When she was a child, to be honest, I often went to her grandfather’s house to read poems with her in the elm tree. I really couldn’t imagine that this skinny kid had such a beautiful soul.
I’m really surprised that he didn’t see Isabel. After all, he can’t forget his past engagement. I guess he may regard the engagement as a farce. Two young people don’t know what they want without knowing what they want. I’m also convinced that he never found out that Isabel still loved him in loved one all these years.
At that time, we went to Larry’s parking square and took the old car to the morgue and funeral home. After keeping our promise, everything was done in an orderly way. In the dazzling day, the wind bent the cemetery and the cypress funeral added a touch of terror. After the funeral, the funeral home shook hands with us kindly.
Gentlemen, I hope you are satisfied. Everything is going well.
Well done, I said
Sir, if you need anything later, just tell me, no matter how far it is.
I thanked him. When we walked to the gate of the cemetery, Larry asked me what else I needed.
no
I want to get back to Sanari as soon as possible
Then I’ll go back to the hotel.
We didn’t talk about the hotel in the car. I immediately shook hands with each other, and he left. I paid for my accommodation, took my luggage, and took a taxi to the train, trying to leave as soon as possible.

A few days later, I left for England to go there directly, but after all this happened, I especially wanted to meet Isabel, so I decided to stay in Paris for one day. I took a newspaper and asked her if I could go there for dinner in the evening. As soon as I arrived at the hotel, I left a message for her. She came to Gray’s dinner bureau to meet me at about 5: 30 because she had to try on her clothes first.
It was rather chilly and the rain stopped. I guess Gray didn’t go to Mount Fontaine to play golf. These troubles were because I wanted to see Isabel alone, but when Isabel saw me at the apartment, she said that Gray had gone to the club to play bridge.
I told him not to come back too late if he wanted to see you, but we didn’t have dinner until nine o’clock. It would be nice to arrive around nine thirty and talk about it when it was enough. I have a lot to tell you.
They have sublet their apartment to Eliot, and the paintings will be auctioned in two weeks. At that time, they will participate in the current plan to move to the Ritz Hotel, and then they will return to China by boat. Isabel intends to sell the paintings and leave them in Eliot’s modern paintings in Antibou. Although she is not big, she thinks they will be hung at home to help raise their prices. I think so.
It’s a pity that Uncle Eliot is really out of date. It’s all Picasso, Matisse and Renoir. Of course, it’s still easy to hide, but I’m afraid it’s a little out of date.
If I were you, I wouldn’t mind that a new generation of painters will meet again in a few years, and Picasso Matisse will be less outdated than those impressionist painters.
Gray’s future work has almost settled Isabel’s capital. He is about to enter a new enterprise to take charge of the vice president. Because of his oil industry, they plan to move to Dallas.
We have to find a suitable room first. I hope that the beautiful garden Grayban will wander around when he comes back, and the living room must be spacious to entertain guests.
Why don’t you take Eliot’s furniture back?
I don’t think it’s suitable. I want a set of modern furniture with some Mexican styles so that I can feel the mood. As soon as I arrive in new york, I will ask which decorator is the most famous.
Anton brought in a plate with many wine bottles in his head. Isabel always knew very well that nine out of ten men knew that they could mix cocktails better than women, so she told me to mix two glasses. I poured some Gin French dry absinthe and mixed a little absinthe, which made the absinthe insipid. Martinis as delicious and mellow as the gods of Olympus. It was probably like Coca-Cola. I noticed the table when I handed the glass to Isabel.
Wow, Larry wrote this. I said
Yes, it arrived early, but I was too busy to do a lot of things. First, I went out for lunch, then I went to Morinaud Fashion Store, and I didn’t know when I would turn it over.
I feel a little disappointed. It took many months for my family to write and work hard to finish reading, but I just left things to do before I read them.
You should know that Larry stays in Sanali in winter, right? Have you met?
Yes, we were in Toulon the other day.
Really? What are you doing in Toulon?
