》
花园帐篷里的午餐即将结束。斯洛普先生觉得，向寡妇告白的时机已经到了。这之前，他一直在痛痛快快地喝酒，好给自己壮胆。这会儿，埃莉诺出了帐篷，快步走进了花园，园子里也如他所愿没什么人，于是他跟了上去。
读书笔记
是否公开刚一意识到有人跟踪，埃莉诺就转身面对斯洛普先生。“请不要为了我中途离席。”埃莉诺以尽量生硬的语气说，“我求您，斯洛普先生，回去吧。”
读书笔记
是否公开但是，斯洛普先生是不会让自己就这么被打发走的。他看得出她很生自己的气。可怜的女士！她这么不高兴，很可能是因为大家都在说她有可能会嫁给他，可她却没法公开宣布。“您一定得允许我陪伴您。”他说，“让您一个人走，我连想都不敢想。”
读书笔记
是否公开“说真的，您必须要走，斯洛普先生。”埃莉诺仍然态度十分生硬地说，“我特别希望一个人静一静。”
读书笔记
是否公开斯洛普先生明白，现在不说以后就永远没机会了。“别赶我走，博尔德太太，”他说，目光既温柔又炽烈，“要走也得等我说出我满腔的心里话之后。”
读书笔记
是否公开埃莉诺立刻明白自己即将要经历的一切，觉得十分难受。她可以拒绝斯洛普先生，然而，单是他向自己求婚的事实就足以证明执事长说得对，她自己是错了。
读书笔记
是否公开“我不知道，您有什么话非得跟我说，又不能在刚才吃午饭的时候说，斯洛普先生。”她一边说，一边用冰冷得可以把他吓呆的表情看着他。
读书笔记
是否公开不过，灌了一肚子酒的绅士可没那么容易被吓呆，斯洛普先生更是如此。“有些事情，博尔德太太，男人是没法当众表达清楚的。”他悄声说，再次流露出那种既温柔又炽烈的目光。
读书笔记
是否公开埃莉诺不想一动不动地站在花园帐篷跟前，在索恩小姐宾客的众目睽睽之下听他表白。于是她继续往前走，斯洛普则向她伸出了胳膊。
读书笔记
是否公开“谢谢您，斯洛普先生，我会跟您待一小会儿，然后我更想一个人走走。”
读书笔记
是否公开“只能是一小会儿吗？”他说，“只能——”
读书笔记
是否公开“是的，”没等他说完，埃莉诺就说，“越短越好，如果您愿意的话，先生。”
读书笔记
是否公开“我原本希望，博尔德太太——我原本希望——”
读书笔记
是否公开“请您别对我抱任何希望，斯洛普先生。我们的交情很浅，很可能也会一直保持这个状态。”
读书笔记
是否公开斯洛普先生仍然决意保持十分温柔的态度，同时也已经火冒三丈。看样子，这个寡妇对她自己即将得到的荣耀一无所知。“太残忍了，”他说，“就连我们当中最没出息的人，教会至少也会允许他们抱有希望！”说到这里，他顿了一下。“美丽的女人哪！”他终于喊道，“美丽的女人哪，你可不能假装不知道我爱你！是的，埃莉诺，是的，我爱你。除了进天堂以外，我最大的希望就是拥有你！”（斯洛普先生的记性在这儿出了点问题，要不他就该提到教士长的职位。）“这么说好了，埃莉诺，最亲爱的埃莉诺，我们一起踏上那条通往天堂的甜蜜道路吧，可以吗？”
读书笔记
是否公开埃莉诺压根儿没打算在将来跟斯洛普先生一起踏上任何一条道路，可她还是觉得，作出回答之前应该允许他把这番话说完。
读书笔记
是否公开“啊！埃莉诺，我们手牵着手穿越生命的山谷，难道不是一桩美事吗？啊！埃莉诺——”
读书笔记
是否公开“斯洛普先生，我的名字是博尔德太太。”埃莉诺说。他使用的亲昵称呼让她厌恶不已，再也装不出礼貌的样子。
读书笔记
是否公开“最甜美的天使，别这么冷冰冰的嘛。”他一边说，一边在酒精的驱使下伸出一只胳膊环住她的腰，以此证明自己对她的感情。
读书笔记
是否公开她一下子从他身边跳开，仿佛他是一条蛇似的，接着就以闪电般的速度扬起一只小手，狠狠打了他一耳光。那声音就像一记惊雷在树丛中回响。
读书笔记
是否公开刚打下去，她就开始后悔，因为这么做有失淑女风范。她忍不住想乞求他的原谅，幸而又改变了主意。“我绝对，绝对不会再跟您说一句话！”她气咻咻地说，沿着小路飞快地跑回宅子。
读书笔记
是否公开对于斯洛普先生而言，挨女人打的侮辱不亚于挨男人打。他的脸被打疼了，自尊心也受到了严重的伤害。他对寡妇忿恨不已，脑子里装满了强烈的报复念头。但他一会儿就恢复了平静，从与埃莉诺不同的方向慢慢走回了花园的帐篷。进了帐篷之后，他听说教士长刚刚去世，于是不再耽搁片刻，以最快的速度从乌拉索恩赶回了巴彻斯特。
读书笔记
是否公开走近宅子的时候，埃莉诺看见了夏洛特·斯坦诺普，于是就跑过草坪，跟她的朋友会合。
读书笔记
是否公开“哦，夏洛特！”她抽抽搭搭地说，“碰上你可太好啦！”
读书笔记
是否公开“怎么啦，出什么事了？”看到埃莉诺脸上泪水涟涟，双手颤抖，斯坦诺普小姐问，“我能帮上什么忙吗？需要伯蒂帮忙吗？”
读书笔记
是否公开“哦，不，不，不，”埃莉诺说，“没什么，只是那个可恨的家伙——”
读书笔记
是否公开“哪个可恨的家伙啊？”夏洛特好奇地问。
读书笔记
是否公开“斯洛普先生。他是个既恶心又卑鄙的家伙，我要是把全部的事情告诉主教的话，他肯定得受一顿教训！”
读书笔记
是否公开“相信我，你要是想找他的麻烦，那倒不如告诉普劳蒂太太。可他究竟干了什么呢？”
读书笔记
是否公开“他凭什么觉得他可以追求我呢？我从来没给过他任何暗示，只是在别人抨击他的时候替他说了话而已。”
读书笔记
是否公开“那就是啦，亲爱的。你的话传到了他的耳朵里，所以他以为你爱上了他。”
读书笔记
是否公开埃莉诺心里明白，夏洛特对斯洛普先生的判断是正确的，跟她的家人一样。她打心眼里后悔为他辩护，并且暗自决定绝不再为任何不公正的事情出头。
读书笔记
是否公开“可他究竟干了什么呢？”夏洛特又问了一遍。
读书笔记
是否公开“他——他说了一大堆让人讨厌的废话，宗教啦，天堂啦，爱情什么的。然后——他搂住了我！”
读书笔记
是否公开“搂你的腰吗？”
读书笔记
是否公开“是啊。”埃莉诺说，打了个哆嗦，“接着我就从他身边跑开了，给了他一个耳光，一路跑过来，看见你才停下！”
读书笔记
是否公开“哈，哈，哈！”想到斯洛普先生的尴尬境地，夏洛特开怀大笑。不过，她的目的只是拉近跟博尔德太太的关系，于是便迅速止住笑声，向她表示同情。
读书笔记
是否公开她急切地盼着弟弟尽快向埃莉诺求婚，尽快得到埃莉诺的同意。伯蒂已经债台高筑，斯坦诺普博士对儿子的不满之情也已经十分强烈，因此伯蒂可能得立刻离开英格兰，除非他确定可以得到寡妇的财产。幸运的是，斯洛普先生显然已经不再是伯蒂的情敌，眼下正是他表白并赢得这位女士芳心的绝佳机会。
读书笔记
是否公开于是，夏洛特走出了下一步棋，并且希望这是最后一步棋。她说动了埃莉诺，由她来安排离开乌拉索恩的行程。马德琳、夏洛特和仆人们会坐斯坦诺普家的马车先行离开，然后马车会折回来接斯坦诺普博士、伯蒂和埃莉诺回家。至于斯洛普先生，她只能请他自己另想办法回去。（他已经回去了，只是他们还不知道而已。）
读书笔记
是否公开为了征得内罗尼太太对这番安排的认可，夏洛特把埃莉诺领进了会客厅。进去之后，她们看见阿拉宾先生在马德琳的沙发旁坐着。看到埃莉诺，他立刻站了起来。夏洛特姐妹俩交谈的时候，他尴尬地跟埃莉诺聊了几句。
读书笔记
是否公开“这场园会真让人愉快。”阿拉宾先生说。
读书笔记
是否公开“非常愉快。”埃莉诺附和着，虽然她这辈子就数今天最不开心。
读书笔记
是否公开“希望哈丁先生玩得开心。”
读书笔记
是否公开“哦，是的，很开心。”埃莉诺说。除了刚来不久的那会儿，她再没看见自己的父亲。
读书笔记
是否公开“希望格兰特利太太身体安好。”
读书笔记
是否公开“她看起来很好。她还在这儿呢，除非，我是说，除非她已经走了。”
读书笔记
是否公开“哦，是的。我刚刚还跟她说话，她看上去确实气色很好。”接下来，阿拉宾先生发现自己已经无话可说，只好默默地站着等夏洛特说完，博尔德太太也是一声不吭地站在那儿，忙着摆弄自己手上的几枚戒指。
读书笔记
是否公开最后，夏洛特和埃莉诺出发去找伯蒂。她们发现他舒舒服服地坐在草地上，一边抽烟，一边跟一个刚认识的小伙子讲意大利的事。
读书笔记
是否公开“伯蒂，我还在到处找你呢。”夏洛特说，“赶紧过来。”
读书笔记
是否公开伯蒂抬起头，看见了她们。自从第一次遇见埃莉诺·博尔德，他就喜欢上了她。如果她一贫如洗，如果他追她不是为了遵从夏洛特的命令，他早已疯狂地爱上了她。然而，眼下她在他心目中并不是一个美丽的女人，而是一条赚钱的途径。对他来说，这种名叫婚姻的新行当完全没有吸引力。
读书笔记
是否公开然而，他还是扔掉香烟，过来和女士们在一起，还把胳膊伸给埃莉诺。夏洛特把斯洛普先生的恶劣行为全部告诉了他，并让弟弟保护埃莉诺。接着，她急匆匆地走开了，留下伯蒂跟这位寡妇一起散步。
读书笔记
是否公开伯蒂·斯坦诺普虽然懒散，人品却并不低劣。夏洛特打算让他俘获博尔德太太的心，靠她的钱而不是父亲的钱过日子。如今他开始觉得，这样的盘算对他来说太精明、太无情了。而且，说实在的，就算他娶到了埃莉诺，又能得到什么回报呢？无非是在巴彻斯特寡妇家的壁炉旁安安静静地过完一辈子，最兴奋的事不过是偶尔到普拉姆斯特德去吃一顿晚饭，当然还得是在执事长乐意接待他的时候。他暗自盘算有没有什么办法，既可以不违背夏洛特的命令，又可以不让寡妇嫁给他。
读书笔记
是否公开“博尔德太太，”他十分严肃地开口道，“我可能得离开巴彻斯特了。我必须得有个什么工作。”
读书笔记
是否公开“照我看，您可以对什么工作提起兴趣，斯坦诺普先生。”埃莉诺说。她对他有一种朋友之间的好感。
读书笔记
是否公开“在这件事情上，我决定完全听从您的指引。”伯蒂说，在路上转过头来看着她。到这会儿，他们已经走到了埃莉诺扬手给斯洛普先生一记耳光的地方。特遣牧师刚刚才在这里求过婚，她这么快就要在同一个地方面对另一个人的求婚吗？“我们一直都是很要好的朋友，博尔德太太，对吧？”伯蒂接着说。
读书笔记
是否公开“是啊，我想是的。”
读书笔记
是否公开“千万别生我的气，博尔德太太，我得把全部实情告诉您。我亲爱的姐姐夏洛特一心想着我的幸福，就——就希望我娶您！”
读书笔记
是否公开埃莉诺恍然大悟，怪不得一直以来，夏洛特总是那么讨她喜欢，对她那么殷勤——这全都是个阴谋，为的是得到她的收入，让伯蒂捞好处！她吓坏了。
读书笔记
是否公开“我得让您知道，”伯蒂尴尬不已地接着说，“我姐姐对我的期望比我自己还高。”
读书笔记
是否公开“可是，既然您自己并不想娶我，跟我说这些干什么呢？”埃莉诺问，这样一场伤人颜面的假求婚让她很是恼火。
读书笔记
是否公开“因为我不能惹她发火。还有啊，照我看，我是不可能说服您嫁给我的。我希望您能告诉她，我已经向您求了婚，只是您拒绝了我。”
读书笔记
是否公开这可比什么都过分！埃莉诺怒气冲天，觉得自己受了很大的冒犯。她当然不会去撒谎，就为了让伯蒂的姐姐不对他发怒。“抱歉告诉您，斯坦诺普先生，事已至此，我看我跟您家所有的来往最好立刻结束。”
读书笔记
是否公开但说到这里，她突然失去了自制力，剧烈地抽泣起来。“您怎么能这样？我还当您是朋友呢！哦，真希望我这会儿是在家里！”
读书笔记
是否公开可怜的伯蒂深受感动。“别担心，我不会再惹您生气了。我这就带您上马车。您跟我父亲一起走，我走路回去，或者去别的什么地方——我怎么着都行。”
读书笔记
是否公开他温柔地递给她一条手帕，让她擦干泪水，然后陪着她朝宅子走去。等她跟索恩一家告别之后，他又把她扶上了等在一旁的马车。马车驶离的时候，埃莉诺望向窗外，看见伯蒂手拿帽子鞠了一躬，脸上挂着一贯的快乐笑容。多年之后，他俩才再次相见。
读书笔记
是否公开In the garden tent, the meal was coming to an end. Mr Slope decided that it was the right time to make his declaration to the widow. He had not hesitated to drink his share of wine, in order to give himself the necessary courage. And now he followed Eleanor as she left the tent and walked quickly out into the gardens, which were almost as deserted as he could wish.

Yes, Eleanor, yes, I love you.
