At exactly eleven Sir Percival knocked and entered,with anxiety and worry in every line of his face.This meeting would decide his future life,and he obviously knew it.
"You may wonder,Sir Percival,’’ said Laura calmly,“if I am going to ask to be released (免除)from my promise to many you.I am not going to ask this.I respect my father's wishes too much.“
His face relaxed a little,but one of his feet kept beating the carpet.
"No,if we are going to withdraw.(退出)from our planned marriage,it will be because of your wish,not mine.
“Mine?” he said in great surprise.“What reason could I have for withdrawing?’
"A reason that is very hard to tell you," she answered."There is a change in me.”
His face went so pale that even his lips lost their color.He turned his head to one side.
"What change?" he asked,trying to appear calm.
“ When the promise was made two years ago,” she said,44 my love did not belong to anyone.Will you forgive me,Sir Percival,if I tell you that it now belongs to another person?”
“I wish you to understand,“ Laura continued,“that I will never see this person again,and that if you leave me,you only allow mc to remain a single woman for the rest of my life.All I ask is that you forgive mc and keep my secret."
‘I will do both those things,“ he said.Then he looked at Laura,as if he was waiting to hear more.
"I think I have said enough to give you reason to withdraw from our marriage,“ she added quietly.
“ No.You have said enough to make it the dearest wish of my life to marry you,“ he said.
11点,珀西瓦尔先生准时敲开了那扇门,带着满脸的焦虑和不安走入了房间.他清楚地知道这个会面将决定他未来的人生.
“珀西瓦尔先生,如果我打算放弃和你结婚的承诺,你可能会感到奇怪吧.”劳拉平静地说:“但是我不打算这样,因为我太尊重我父亲的愿望了.”
他的脸放松了一点儿,但是他的一只脚一直敲打着地毯.
“不,如果我们打算退出这场计划婚姻,这也是因为你的愿望,而不是我的.”
“我的?”珀西瓦尔先生惊讶地问道,“我有什么理由要退出呢?”
劳拉回答道:“有一个原因,我不知道怎么告诉你——我有一些变故.”
他的脸变得很苍白,嘴唇也失去了血色.他将脸转向一边,试图镇定地问道:“什么变故?”
她回答道:“我们的约定是在两年前,那个时候我44 岁,我的爱不属于任何一个人.珀西瓦尔先生,如果我告诉你我的爱现在属于另一个人,你会原谅我吗?”
“我希望你能理解”劳拉继续说道,:“我不会再见那个人了,而且如果你离开我,你只能允许我在剩余的人生里仍然是一个单身女郎.我恳求你做的就是原谅我和保守秘密.”
“我会的.”他说.然后他看着劳拉,好像是等她说没有说完的.
“我想我已经给足了你退出这场婚姻的理由了.”她安静地补充道.
“不,你说的已经足以让我在以后的人生中怀着最甜蜜的愿望和你结婚.”他说.
希望能对你有所帮助.
