第五十章温沙女王(1/26)

老枢密官奥尔森自芬顿九九四年退休以来，曾多次乘坐金鲨号游览，对德容至阿穆尔的航线早已熟悉得不能再熟悉。这次受族兄霍华德公爵请托，陪三个女孩出来散心，已是他第五次乘坐游船了。
                                                                                                                                                                敏锐的老枢密官察言观色，知道三个女孩各有心事，郁郁不乐，心里不免担忧。但他作为长辈，很难介入女孩们中间，深感为难。
                                                                                                                                                                为此，老枢密官在游船上的第一晚过得很不塌实，第二天一早便穿戴整齐，来到几个女孩的船舱附近，想找个机会和他的佷女伊丽莎白谈话。他看得清楚，三个少女中虽属夏菲年长，但那个女孩却是她们中最不爱与人交流的，要协调几个少女之间的关系，使她们不出矛盾，度过愉快的海上假期，须得从伊丽莎白入手。
                                                                                                                                                                而伊丽莎白似乎也有此自觉。刚走下船舱，便看见伊丽莎白站在走廊，将手探出舷窗以外，让微凉的海风轻拂。
                                                                                                                                                                只见她闭上眼楮，深吸了一口带著咸味的空气，缓缓呼出。“管他呢！”公爵女儿大吼道，“出来玩就是为了开心！一次都没坐过金鲨号的家伙，在这儿都得听我的！”老枢密官立刻退回甲板。
                                                                                                                                                                见到这副情景，他实在不知该怎样面对伊丽莎白为好。
                                                                                                                                                                伊丽莎白有个毛病，平时是人见人爱的乖乖女，可一旦发作起来，就什么都不顾了，喜欢到处发号施令，气势极其骇人，即使是霍华德公爵也不敢触她逆鳞。看来一切只能顺其自然了。
