第十二章贵族舞会(6/16)

                                            兰斯下定决心，一定要抵受住她的诱惑，撑到期满为止。那时，便要带著雅希蕾娜远远的离开艾哈迈和芬顿，到一个能够接受牧师的地方去，实现洛玛特神甫对他的期望。
                                                                                                                                                                牧师正想著自己的心事，夏尔蒂娜高举双臂，拍了拍手，像是在对某人致意。不一会，几个仪态优雅的贵妇人来到了两人身边。
                                                                                                                                                                他看了看，只有一位沙拉小姐算是相识。一位年纪最大看来有五十岁衣著最为华贵，派头也最大的贵妇人走在最前，俨然是女人们的领袖。
                                                                                                                                                                “夏尔蒂娜！”老妇人微笑著向夏尔蒂娜张开了双臂，“我的小宝贝！你一天比一天漂亮啦！艾哈迈的小公主，舞会的太阳！”“尤妮奶奶，你又取笑我！”夏尔蒂娜笑著扑进了老妇人的怀抱，撒娇道。女人们都笑起来，用扇子掩著嘴巴，以类似于窃窃私语的方式交谈。
                                                                                                                                                                她们的视线从不在兰斯脸上停留片刻，仿佛他只是一件家具。只有沙拉小姐以歉意的目光偷偷向兰斯示意。
                                                                                                                                                                兰斯知道，这大概是夏尔蒂娜的安排，索性扭过脸去，一边喝酒，一边观赏大厅里极尽豪奢的装潢。她们不理他，他乐得清闲，也不觉得难堪。
                                                                                                                                                                老妇人牵著夏尔蒂娜的手，领她走向大厅中央。人们纷纷让开道路，恭敬的垂手注目。
                                                                                                                                                                兰斯默默的跟在女人们身后，好奇的打量著贵族们的表现。无疑，这老妇人的地位极为尊贵。
                                                                                                                                                                艾哈迈的贵族们都对她礼让三分。他从人们的低语中反复听到了“元帅夫人”、“侯爵夫人”几个字眼儿，大概是老妇人的身份吧。
