加兰德夫妇和他们的女儿维吉尼亚住在小镇上一栋很舒适的房子里，每天晚上七点钟的时候，他们会一起享用一顿可口的晚餐。饭菜是一位名叫艾格尼丝的女佣准备的，她厨艺很好，也把房间打扫得一尘不染，就是铺床叠被的技能实在不敢恭维。加兰德先生和太太分属于两个不同的镇上会所，聚会时，加兰德先生把小胡子梳理得很整齐，而加兰德太太已经不再穿正式的晚礼服，而改穿简便的晚宴装了。她还有两件皮外套，一件是豹纹的，另一件是材料质地稍逊的貂皮。维吉尼亚上高中一年级，正在和篮球队的队长约会。每逢周六的晚上，加兰德先生都会先和这位小伙子握握手，然后愉快地聊几句有关战争的情况，直到维吉尼亚浑身散发着她母亲的香水味，从楼梯上走下来。维吉尼亚十五岁，加兰德先生三十九岁，而加兰德太太四十一岁。
读书笔记
是否公开一天傍晚，在晚餐的时候——大约是七点二十分左右——维吉尼亚开口说：“妈，米莉说她今天晚上要来咱家，我可以不用帮艾格尼丝刷碗了吗？”
读书笔记
是否公开“米莉是什么呀？”加兰德先生问道，眼睛盯着艾格尼丝正端上来的一盘花椰菜，“一头奶牛？”
读书笔记
是否公开维吉尼亚咯咯笑着，“她看上去还真有一点儿像呢，”她说道，“只不过不是一头奶牛。她叫米莉，我们一个学校的，她要来找我，我们一起做代数作业。”
读书笔记
是否公开“你帮艾格尼丝刷碗的时候，米莉可以等着你。”加兰德太太说道。她看着维吉尼亚，想让她明白不能惹艾格尼丝不高兴。“用不了十分钟的，米莉可以等你。”
读书笔记
是否公开“我会招待米莉的，”加兰德先生打着圆场说，“在做代数作业方面，我和米莉都能帮你。我以前代数可是学得不错的。”他一本正经地对加兰德太太说道。
读书笔记
是否公开“你还擅长聊天。”加兰德太太说道，“在热的花椰菜变凉之前，再吃点儿吧。艾格尼丝也得吃点儿。”
读书笔记
是否公开“米莉来我们学校的时间不长，”维吉尼亚说道，“她是第二学期才来的，我正在帮她补课。”
读书笔记
是否公开“你真是太好了。”加兰德先生说道。
读书笔记
是否公开门铃响了，维吉尼亚放下了餐巾。“她说要早点儿来，还真就来了。”她说道。
读书笔记
是否公开“会是米莉吗？”加兰德先生问道。
读书笔记
是否公开维吉尼亚去开门，不一会儿，加兰德夫妇就听到了她的声音从门厅处传来，然后她领着米莉回到了餐厅。米莉很漂亮，但看上去并不太机灵，她画着很重的黑眼影，涂着很浓的口红。
读书笔记
是否公开“我的父母。”维吉尼亚一边向米莉介绍，一边打算再次落座在餐桌旁，“这位是米莉。拉把椅子过来坐这儿吧，米莉。”
读书笔记
是否公开加兰德太太微微皱了皱眉，“你吃过晚饭了吗，米莉？”
读书笔记
是否公开“吃了。”米莉说道。她看了一眼维吉尼亚，咯咯笑了起来。“我应该在客厅里等，”她说道，“可金妮说让我来这儿。”
读书笔记
是否公开“当然没问题。”加兰德先生说，“吃点儿花椰菜吗？”
读书笔记
是否公开米莉盯着加兰德先生又咯咯笑了起来。
读书笔记
是否公开“如果你不喜欢吃它，”加兰德先生说，“你也可以把它戴到你的头发上。”
读书笔记
是否公开“我爸爸总是满嘴跑火车，”维吉尼亚对米莉说道，“他老是这样，别理他。”
读书笔记
是否公开“也许你可以跟我们一起吃点儿甜点，米莉？”加兰德太太建议道。
读书笔记
是否公开“不了，谢谢你。”米莉说道。
读书笔记
是否公开“如果你吃了东西，”加兰德先生对着米莉故作怒视状，“你就得刷碗。这间屋子里的任何人只要吃了东西，在餐后就不得不去厨房里刷碗。”
读书笔记
是否公开“查尔斯！”加兰德太太说道，“你会吓着这孩子的。”
读书笔记
是否公开“米莉什么都不怕，妈妈。”维吉尼亚说，“米莉和我能做任何事情。”
读书笔记
是否公开“我敢打赌米莉能做任何事情。”加兰德先生说道。他的妻子抬头看着他。
读书笔记
是否公开“维吉尼亚，”她最后说道，“既然你和米莉得做代数，我会跟艾格尼丝解释，你没帮她，她不会介意的。”
读书笔记
是否公开“万岁。”维吉尼亚欢呼道，“来吧，米莉。那我们去了，妈妈？”
读书笔记
是否公开加兰德太太点了点头，维吉尼亚从椅子旁站起身，向米莉招手让她跟着，随即跑出了餐厅。
读书笔记
是否公开维吉尼亚和米莉离开以后，加兰德夫妇沉默了好一阵子。加兰德太太终于开口道：“她看上去并不是一个很好的女孩，对吗，这个叫米莉的孩子？”
读书笔记
是否公开“我不知道。”加兰德先生边说，边放下了咖啡杯，“我看她还不错。”
读书笔记
是否公开又过了一会儿，加兰德夫妇又安静地坐在了客厅中，加兰德太太手里正在刺绣——她想给小凳子绣个坐垫——加兰德先生正在看《星期六晚邮报》。这时从楼上传来一阵维吉尼亚和米莉嘈杂的脚步声，随后她们风风火火地进了客厅。
读书笔记
是否公开“妈妈，”维吉尼亚进门时喊道，“妈妈，我们已经做完了家庭作业，我们能出门买瓶汽水吗，妈妈？”
读书笔记
是否公开加兰德太太沉吟了一下，“我想可以，”她慢条斯理地说道，“但要快点儿回来。”
读书笔记
是否公开“等一下。”加兰德先生一边说着话，一边把手伸到口袋里，“买些冰激凌回来，我们大家一起吃，你妈妈和我也想吃点儿冰激凌了。”
读书笔记
是否公开“我可不想……”加兰德太太说道。
读书笔记
是否公开维吉尼亚赶忙跑过来一把从她父亲手里抢过钞票。“两分钟就回来。”话音未落，她和米莉已经跑出了门。
读书笔记
是否公开“她们总是风风火火的，这俩孩子。”加兰德太太嘟囔着，又忙着手中的刺绣了。
读书笔记
是否公开“年轻人嘛，”加兰德先生说道，“让她们玩会儿吧。”
读书笔记
是否公开“我觉得我们不应该鼓励维吉尼亚找米莉这样的女孩做朋友。”加兰德太太说，“她看上去不像个正经的女孩。”
读书笔记
是否公开“我看着还行。”加兰德先生说道。
读书笔记
是否公开米莉和维吉尼亚把冰激凌放在小碟子里，把它们端到了加兰德夫妇的面前。加兰德先生故意装作不高兴的样子接了过来，“为什么呀，米莉，”他问道，“你拿走了那么多，只给我剩这么一点儿呀？”
读书笔记
是否公开米莉咯咯笑着，“我的并没有比你的多呀，加兰德先生。”
读书笔记
是否公开“是我自己舀出了一块。”维吉尼亚说道。
读书笔记
是否公开“你肯定也舀了，米莉。”加兰德先生还在不依不饶，“我被抢劫了。”他走到米莉跟前，把两碟冰激凌比较了一番，然后紧挨着她坐在了沙发上。“现在我就坐在这儿，”他说，“看你一口一口吃，然后数你吃了几口，这样你就会后悔没多给我舀一些了。”
读书笔记
是否公开米莉又咯咯地笑了起来，“快打住吧，加兰德先生，”她说，“我都笑得呛住了。”
读书笔记
是否公开“查尔斯，”加兰德太太嗔怪地说，“你在破坏姑娘们的快乐时光。”
读书笔记
是否公开“没有，加兰德太太，”米莉说道，“我觉得加兰德先生太逗了。”
读书笔记
是否公开“现在又说我逗了，”加兰德先生说，“你一开始抢了我的冰激凌，然后又认为我很逗，其实就是在说我是个傻老头，我想。”
读书笔记
是否公开“您并不老。”米莉说道。
读书笔记
是否公开“他岁数已经足够大了，没法再扮演小丑了。”加兰德太太尖刻地说道。
读书笔记
是否公开“我觉得您一点儿也不老。”米莉大不以为然，“说真的，我认为您还年轻。”
读书笔记
是否公开加兰德先生看着米莉，“你说我有多年轻？”他追问道。
读书笔记
是否公开米莉咯咯地笑个不停。
读书笔记
是否公开“我爸爸总爱这样，”维吉尼亚对米莉说，“他老是作弄人。”
读书笔记
是否公开“你不会跟我这样年纪的人约会吧？会吗，米莉？”加兰德先生说道。
读书笔记
是否公开米莉抬头看了看他，“我不能说。”她说道。
读书笔记
是否公开“那现在就别取笑我了。”加兰德先生说道。
读书笔记
是否公开加兰德太太站起身，放下了手中的针线活，向门口走去。她在门边停下来，迟疑了一下，“维吉尼亚，”她喊道，但并没有转身。“我想跟你谈一谈，请来一下。”
读书笔记
是否公开维吉尼亚站了起来，跟着她母亲走出了房间。“我去去就来，米莉。”她说道。
读书笔记
是否公开维吉尼亚走了以后，米莉向加兰德先生转过身子，“加兰德太太对我说的话或者做的什么事不高兴了吗？”她问道。
读书笔记
是否公开“别管她。”加兰德先生说道。他摸了摸米莉头发上的花。“花儿真漂亮。”他说道。
读书笔记
是否公开“我男朋友送我的。”米莉说道。
读书笔记
是否公开“有男朋友了？”加兰德先生说，“他约你出去过吗？你们在一起开心吗？”
读书笔记
是否公开米莉忍不住又傻笑了，“那是当然。”她说道。
读书笔记
是否公开“他都带你去了哪儿？”加兰德先生问道，“他带你去过镇中心的一个地方吗，他们称为‘蓝灯笼’的俱乐部？”
读书笔记
是否公开“我去过那儿。”米莉回答道。
读书笔记
是否公开加兰德先生起身，走到房间的另一侧去拿了一根香烟。然后思忖了一下，又递给了米莉一根。
读书笔记
是否公开“她快回来了吗？”米莉问道，伸出了手。
读书笔记
是否公开“加兰德太太吗？可能一时半会儿还回不来。”
读书笔记
是否公开米莉拿着香烟，加兰德先生为她点着了烟。
读书笔记
是否公开“她不喜欢我。”米莉说着，身子靠了过来。
读书笔记
是否公开“我不这么认为。”加兰德先生说道。
读书笔记
是否公开“可维吉尼亚是个非常好的伙伴。”米莉说道。加兰德先生哈哈大笑了起来，米莉困惑地抬头看着他，“我说什么了，这么好笑？”她问道。
读书笔记
是否公开维吉尼亚回到了门口，在那儿站了一会儿。
读书笔记
是否公开“米莉。”她叫道，而米莉正拽着加兰德先生的手，执拗地想让他拿着她的烟。“米莉，”维吉尼亚说道，“我妈想知道，我们还能不能再跑一趟，去商店帮她买点儿东西。你想去吗？”
读书笔记
是否公开米莉迟疑着，这时加兰德太太也回到了门口，在维吉尼亚身后站着。“查尔斯，”她说道，“我跟维吉尼亚说了，如果她和米莉为我跑一趟商店，就像好孩子那样，你会给她俩每人十美分的硬币。”
读书笔记
是否公开“我们用它再买瓶汽水。”维吉尼亚说道。
读书笔记
是否公开“吃完冰激凌后还喝汽水？”加兰德太太宽容地问道，“你也想要一枚十美分的硬币，对吧，米莉？”
读书笔记
是否公开米莉犹豫了一下，“走吧，米莉，”维吉尼亚不耐烦地说道，“爸爸，给我们钱。”
读书笔记
是否公开加兰德先生看着他妻子，伸手向兜里摸去，然后掏出了一枚二十五美分的硬币。“给你。”他说道。
读书笔记
是否公开维吉尼亚上前拿了硬币，然后拉着米莉的胳膊，向大门走去。
读书笔记
是否公开加兰德太太坐了下来，又拿起了她的针线活。“查尔斯，”她若无其事地问道，“你难道不觉得孩子们吃了太多的冰激凌吗？”
读书笔记
是否公开Mr. and Mrs. Garland and their daughter Virginia lived in a pleasant house in a pretty town and every night at seven they ate the agreeable dinner cooked by Agnes, the maid who cooked well and dusted adequately and made beds abominably. Mr. and Mrs. Garland belonged to two country clubs and Mr. Garland had a mustache; Mrs. Garland had given up evening gowns in favor of dinner dresses and had two fur coats, a leopard and an inferior mink. Virginia was in first year high school and went out with the captain of the basketball team. Every Saturday night Mr. Garland shook hands with this young man and they chatted jovially about the war until Virginia came down the stairs wearing her mother’s perfume. Virginia was fifteen years old, Mr. Garland was thirty-nine, and Mrs. Garland was forty-one.
