seventeen

Five years later, I was tired of life in London and decided to stay in Paris for a while. My days in London remained unchanged, like a pool of stagnant water, without any novelty. Even meeting with friends was so boring, I was tired of the so-called gossip. We were like trams arranged, with the starting point and end point set. This kind of calm life was simply terrible, so I decisively handled the unfinished matters in London and made up my mind to throw myself into Paris' arms immediately.

Before leaving, I went to Mrs. Strickland's house and said goodbye to her. I haven't visited her for a while. When I met this time, I found that she had changed a lot. She looked old, had thinner figure, had more wrinkles on her forehead, and even her personality had changed a certain way. Her career is progressing well, and there is an office on Changsaili Street. Although she typed very quickly, she rarely typed. Because she hired four female typists, her main job was to proofread their typescripts. She took these manuscripts very seriously, first decorating them with red and blue words, and then binding them with light-colored coarse paper, which was very exquisite. The manuscripts she wrote were not only very neat.

, and very precise and rarely make mistakes, so her business is very good. However, she is still a little inferior. After all, she was a rich wife who didn't have to worry about her livelihood, but now she has to support herself. When she communicates with others, she not only wants to show that she has a noble background, but also talks about those well-known big names, which makes people dare not underestimate her. However, she is embarrassed to talk about her experience in doing business over the years. Her son was at Cambridge University, and she was proud of this and was very happy to talk about this topic with others. She also likes to talk to others about her daughter's passion for attending dances. Once when I talked to her, I also said a brainless thing.

"Do you need to ask her to come to your typing center for help?"

"Ah, no. She'd better not do this." Mrs. Strickland replied, "She's pretty, and marrying a good family in the future is the most important thing."

"You are right, that will help even more, and I actually forgot."

"Someone suggested that she take the path of acting, but I object. I know all the famous dramatists who can easily help her take a show as long as I am willing to speak, but I absolutely do not agree with her being in a mess with such a mess."

This attitude of Mrs. Strickland made me a little nervous.

"Do you know your husband's current situation?"

"No, no information, maybe he's dead long ago."

"I'm going to Paris, and I might meet him there. If I know about him, do you need me to tell you?"

She hesitated for a few minutes.

"Well, if he is too poor to survive, tell me that I will help him. Then I will send you some money, and if he needs it, you can give it to him several times."
