That would be great.
Then a navy motorboat came to the dock, and a group of sailors glanced at them one after another.
My boyfriend came, and she waved to one of them, but he had a drink, and then he’d better leave quickly. He was Corsican and as jealous as Yahua. 46 A young man came up and saw me, and he was stunned. But before Sophie greeted us, he was tall, dark and shaven, with deep eyes and aquiline nose and wavy black hair. He looked only twenty years old. Sophie introduced me to him as her childhood American friend.
A little dull but handsome, she said to me
You’re a tough guy, right
The harder the better.
I think your throat will be cut sooner or later.
That’s expected, too. She grinned and died early.
French should be spoken here, shouldn’t it? said the sailor Shirley
Sophie turned and smiled at him with a hint of ridicule. She spoke French with a lot of slang and a strong American accent, which made her swear words on her lips look funny and make people laugh.
I told him that you were handsome, but I was afraid that you would be embarrassed to speak English. Then she told me that he was super strong and muscular like a boxer. Feel it.
When the sailor heard these compliments, he was elated and smiled proudly, then tightened his arms and brightened his biceps.
Touch him. Come on, touch him.
I touched it and expressed my admiration. After we talked for a few minutes, I paid for the wine and got up.
I have to go.
Nice to meet you. Don’t forget that.
no problem
I shook hands with them and said goodbye. On the way from the cafe, I passed by the store and bought the novel. I wrote my own Sophie’s name. Suddenly, I didn’t know how to write well in French. The only sentence in my mind was the first sentence recorded in Longsha 47, a major anthology.
Baby, let’s go and see that rose.
I gave it to Sophie Hotel, which is near the pier. I often call the sailors who stay out at night to get in place at dawn, and the horn will wake me up. The hazy sunlight falls on the calm water of the harbor, and the phantom ship looks particularly beautiful. The next day, I set off for Casis Town to buy some wine, and then I went to Marseille to get the new sail. I didn’t return home for a week.

Joseph, an Eliot, wrote that he was ill in bed and wanted to see me, so the next day I drove to Antibu. Joseph took me to the building and said that Eliot was suffering from uremia. The doctor thought it was quite serious. At present, he has survived the critical period, but his kidney function is impaired, so he can’t fully recover. Joseph and Eliot have been loyal for 40 years, but although they are very sad, they can still see people in common. In fact, they will steal when their master’s family suffers from disaster.
Poor sir, he sighed. Although he has some shortcomings, he is kind-hearted. Things often happen, and he will die sooner or later.
He spoke as if Eliot was about to die.
Joseph, I believe he has already arranged your life, I said seriously.
I hope so, he lamented
He led me into Eliot’s room. I didn’t expect Eliot to be full of energy, pale and old, but full of energy, with a well-shaved beard and combed hair. He was wearing a light blue silk pajamas with initials embroidered in his pocket, and the earl’s crown was embroidered on the other side to enlarge the same pattern.
I inquired about his physical condition.
It’s wonderful. He said that he is temporarily ill and will be able to get up and move in a few days. I also invited Grand Duke Dimitri to have lunch on Saturday. I have told the doctor that I must cure the disease then.
I chatted with him for half an hour. After he left, Joseph noticed that if his illness recurred, he would let me know. A week later, I attended the neighbor’s luncheon, and Eliot was even here, although he was dressed up, but he was awkward.
You should stay at home and recuperate Eliot, I said to him
Don’t talk nonsense. My old friend Freda invited Princess Mafalda, and the Italian royal family and I have been friends for many years. We have known each other since Louisa was stationed in Rome. I can’t let Freda down.
I really don’t know whether to admire him for his perseverance or pity him for his age and serious illness, but he is still keen on life. Others will never guess that he is a patient. Eliot Wan, a dying actor, asked for makeup and stepped on the stage, and immediately threw away his illness. He was always calm. If he played a polite courtier, he was friendly and kind, and he knew how to understand the needs of princes and nobles and was also good at transporting vicious irony to make everyone happy. I have never seen him so hard to show his talent. When Princess Eliot bowed after she left, her elegant figure showed both reverence for the princess and long admiration for the beautiful woman. It
A few days later Eliot fell ill again, and the doctor banned his door, which made him very angry.
It’s too bad to be sick at this time. This summer is particularly lively.
He read a long list of dignitaries’ names, and they were all going to spend their holidays in the Blue Coast.
I visit him every three or four days. When he is lying in bed, he wears a dressing gown and sits on a couch. He seems to wear several bathrobes because they are different every time. At the beginning of the month, I visited him and found that he was unusually silent. When Joseph took me into the house, he said that he seemed to be better. Unexpectedly, I told him the rumors of local hexagrams to make him happy, but he obviously didn’t appreciate it, but his eyebrows were frowning and his eyes were depressed. It was unusual.
Will you go to Edna Novomali’s party? He asked suddenly.
No, of course not
