[中图分类号]：I106 [文献标识码]：A[文章编号]：1002-2139(2017)-18-111-01《新英格兰修女》里，女主人公露易萨独守闺房多年，早已习惯修女般生活方式的她对婚姻生活恐惧万分，在发现裘•戴格特和莉莉•戴尔的私密恋情后，她解除婚约，回归隐居生活。
弗里曼用高超的象征创作手法，简单、直接且深邃地刻画人物心理，从小说标题到女工物件，不留痕迹，确实浑然天成。
一、标题的象征主义效果A New England Nun让人眼前一亮，我们猜测露易莎不同常人，修女必须摒弃性欲和社交，追随一种相对高道德的生活方式，露易萨不是修女，而是新英格兰传统女性，为“老处女”。
她有婚约，和未婚夫裘•戴格特距离上的相隔掩盖了露易萨内心对于像修女那样厌弃尘世，隐居遁世生活的渴望，她渴望突破自我但对于突然闯入自己生活并打乱原本秩序的婚姻无限惶恐。
二、摆件物设的象征性效果缝纫刺绣这种传统女工能够很好地表现女性在男权世界为自己出声的精神。
露易莎独守一方田园，闲暇时喜欢在房间和田间忙碌，或静静地坐在窗边做针线活。
家居物件摆放井井有条，可用精致来形容。
这种近乎强迫症被弗里曼刻画地精细入微，露易莎远离外界尘世，通过料理日常来“做自己世界的女王”的生活方式，不但象征着露易莎的女性身份意识觉醒，还暗示着她很享受这种自得其乐的独居生活。

二理论基础根据韩礼德的语域理论，“文化语境决定着整个语言系统，即决定着语言使用者在这一文化语境中能够表达的语言。
而情景语境则决定着语言使用者在某一具体语境中的语言”。
因此，在一个具体语境中，讲话者究竟能用什么样的语言取决于语境中的各种因素。
韩礼德把这些语境因素归纳为三个组成部分：语场（field）、语旨（tenor）和语式（mode），他们分别对应于语言的三个功能，即概念功能、人际功能和语篇功能。

弗里曼《母亲的反抗》的女性主义研究摘要玛丽·威尔金斯·弗里曼(Mary Wilkins Freeman,1852-1930)是美国 20 世纪初从事短篇小说创作的女作家。
弗里曼以其对 19 世纪末 20 世纪初新英格兰地区风俗人情独到和切实的刻画而被划定为地方色彩主义作家。
《母亲的反抗》是弗里曼小说集中描述结果最成功的一部作品，主人公萨拉以爱为名，突破以牧师为性别政治意识形态的男权势力，并获得丈夫的理解和认可，超越了“真正女性崇拜”的束缚，赢得抗争胜利，为 19 世纪末的女性抗争提供了新的可能和导向。
本篇论文从女性主义的角度对弗里曼的作品《母亲的反抗》进行深入分析, 通过作者原著，论文首先简要介绍了作家作品和女性主义的定义与发展；紧接着又从四个层次来说明《母亲的反抗》中女主人公萨拉所体现的女性主义意识，即萨拉争夺话语权的尝试、萨拉挑战父权制胜利的萌芽、萨拉战胜父权制获得完全的胜利到两性和谐共处，层层递进。
又从家庭和社会两方面体现出了女性主义的产生、发展与胜利。
最后得出结论，从《母亲的反抗》这篇小说中我们更能了解女性主义思想，提升女性地位，来召唤女性反抗压迫，改变传统的世界观念，鼓励女性在新时代的背景下勇于追求独立的人格，实现自身的社会价值。

Freeman's parents are orthodox Congregationalist, so she has a very strict childhood. Religion bondage plays a key role in some of her works. Later she completed her studies in Siberia Brattleboro school. She spent most of her life in Massachusetts and Vermont. Freeman began to write stories and poems for children, when she was a child, she began to help to support her family and soon succeeded. As a writer and doctor and senior secretary of Wendell Olivier Holmes, she began to write some powerful new England style poems and novels. At that time the supernatural aroused her interest, the result is a set of combination of domestic realism and the supernatural short stories published. These have proven to be very influential. Her most famous work is written in 1880s or 1890s, when she lived in Randolph. She wrote and published twenty short stories and novels. Her the most famous two novels, "A Humble and Other Romantic Fiction" (1887) and "A New England Nun and Other Stories" (1891). Most of her novels are involved in the new life of England, it is the best kind in their life. Freeman also remember her novels "Pembroke" (1894), and she also collaborated on the novel "Family" and contribute a significant chapter (1908). In 1902 she married Dr. Charles M. Freeman of New Jersey. In April 1926, Freeman became the American Academy of Arts and letters of William Dean Howells first novel award recipients.She died in New Jersey and was buried in New Jersey, hillside cemetery in Scotland plain.1.2 "The Revolt of Mother"Mary Wilkins Freeman is one of America's most prestigious female writer and her works best features is the face to be in compliance with the traditional mode of the story showed resistance of women in traditional patriarchal concept, it known as "containing subversive themes." "The Revolt of Mother" is such a story that the women revolt patriarchal. Sarah lived in overcrowded shanty all the time in forty years with her family, her husband early promised her to cover new home to improvement home living environment. Finally, he prefers to build new warehouse while unwilling to fulfill the promise. Daughter, Nannie soon to be married, Sarah hopes daughter who is decently married from a new house, and constantly negotiate with her husband, requiring to cover a new house. After she is repeatedly ignored, while her husband went out to buy horses, put her family moved into a new warehouse. And do not yield comment and ridicule of townsfolk for her actions, and force to counter the priests criticism of her. However, her husband only to give up.This short story was widely acclaimed, the reason that is clear resistant theme. Feminist critic Donovan pointed out in the analysis of Freeman's works: "women are in a dilemma. They can choose to stay in the world before the father of motherhood in the world. This means that they must have been at a disadvantage. If they enter the father language world , but it had to endure the exclusion to women." Here clearly pointed out that the division of power in sharp opposition to two areas of gender and between them: father to language for the signifier, and through this signifier has refers to: power; and maternal field is in early language acquisition, because of the lack of the power of language signifier and cannot express their desire and in gender politics is marginalized. Points out that the binary opposition at the same time, Donovan also discusses implied the road of the feminist struggle: first, completely abandon the male world, a pure feminine world; Second, after entering into a male world, try to fuzzy between male and female gender definition.”The Revolt of Mother" has involved in these two points, especially at second points on the discussion highlighted of Donovan.2. Feminism Ideas2.1 Definition of FeminismFeminism is a major source of female experience and motivation for social theory and political movement for promoting social equality and the creation. In the criticism of the social relations, analysis of many feminist supporters also focuses on gender inequality and issues of the promotion of the rights and interests of women. Feminist theory aims to understand the nature of inequality and focus on gender politics and power relations and consciousness. Concept basis of feminism is that the top of the existing society established in the male centered patriarchal system. Feminist research topics include discrimination, stereotyping, materialization (especially about sex), body, distribution of household, and the patriarchal oppression. The theory of feminism is a multitude of things, after all one sentence: the achievement of gender equality in all mankind. Overview of feminist theory, some like the intense fire, some calm such as water, some advocates to struggle or recognizes some compromise, but feminist theory all have a basic premise, that is: women in the world is a hierarchy of being oppressed and discriminated. In such a cross-historical and cross-cultural universal social structure, women in the fields of politics, economy, culture, ideology, knowledge, attitudes, and ethics are inequality with male, even in such a private sphere of family, women are in a position with male inequality. The patriarchal thought that the patriarchal gender order is not only widespread, and will not change, because it is naturally formed; But feminist’s view, the prevailing gender order is not, nor is it never change, because it is not "naturally formed", but is artificially constructed by the social and cultural.In different age and culture, men are also oppressed, but they are oppressed as belonging to a class or class member, and not due to oppression by men. The female is different, except for the reason of belonging to a class or class, just because she was a woman of oppression. The society constructed by men regard women as low that they have to challenge and change higher status of the men to change their low status.There are many challenges to the ruling group of revolutionary history, but only the feminism challenges the patriarchy itself.2.2 Development of FeminismThe history of human society and human rights concept already exist in more than two hundred years, but the concept of human rights in the quite long historical period does not include feminism. Early in the French Revolution of 1791 women leaders Olympe De Gouges published “The Declaration on the Right to Feminism”and “Female Citizens”, or “Declaration of Feminist”. Feminist movement has opened the prelude. Feminism, original intention is "Women's Liberation" originated in France, was introduced into Europe and the United States, and gradually developed into a shares irresistible trend and movement. Feminism of the premise is that women in relative oppression and discrimination status. In the patriarchal society, women in long-term political oppression, social exclusion, economic subject poverty, cultural and ideological education by male autocratic depressed state. With the rapid development of feminism and the spread of the female literature came into being, but also to promote the country's feminism to some extent. Feminism initially can be traced back to France and Britain at the end of eighteenth Century. The center of women's movement spread from Europe to the United states in the mid nineteenth century. But in fact, "feminism" of the words in English until 1890s in circulation. The first wave of western feminism about lasts from nineteenth Century to 1930s or 1940s. The main point is the requirements of women and men have equality status in politics, education, employment and the family. The second wave began in 1960s in the United States, continued to 1980s. The movement is the symbol of 1963 Betty Friedan ”The Feminine Mystique”.The third wave began in 1980s, it is a product of post industrial society and post modern movement.3. A challenge to the patriarchy, try of Sara for the right words3.1 Sara repeatedly asked the husband houseworkThe novel "The Revolt of Mother" begins to vividly describe the dialogue between Sara and her husband. The dialogue is an important means of communication between people, but in between Sara and her husband, there is a clear fault. Sarah in order to know the purpose of husband hire work to dig in his own front door, sheasked four times. First, her husband did not want to respond her, his face sagging , keep his mouth shut. However, she ask her husband second, but husband roars and responds to her, let her not mind his own business. But she does not give up, and she asks him in the third,the husband looked at her with stubborn eyes, finally still don't want to respond her and go out to the barn. The three times husband's attitude is not only evaded, but also very impatient and rude bad attitude movement to response her. The husband threatens to say"Mind your own business, go back inside". Maybe it has nothing to do with her about housework. However, when Sarah persistent asks in the fourth , her husband finally tells her that cover the shack for cattle.Form the details of these a description, we can see the imbalance of the status of Sarah and her husband. Male control power of discourse. For the husband, he think a "real women" who should be a good wife and obey men and processing with housework well. In the resistance of novels, the same said to be the power relations of resistance or resistance of male discourse. The father in the family on behalf of patriarchy, and her mother became the other. At home, the father decided not to refer to the mother's opinion. Father also strictly control the discourse power, only the father can speak at any occasion. He can choose according to their own will to remain silent or refuse to disclose information.Obviously, the mother's opinion is not valued, but she does not keep silent, she insists on asking, demanding to know his father’s idea ; She says her own view and question, that is perfectly reasonable. The story begins with the profound significance of this dialogue is that one begins to create a specific atmosphere and shows status of women in nineteenth Century only to obedience without needing concern.But Sara did not present such a compromise compliance, it can more reflect requirements of the concept of feminist equality, and want to have their own power.3.2 Representations of Sara with her sonAbout this part, after Sarah knows that digging the cellar that is in order to build a new warehouse and through the dialogue of his daughter and son, she learned that son seems to know the thing, so she begin to ask the son if he know his father to build a new warehouse. The son reluctantly answers "Yes, I think I know". This tone isreally sounds very provoking. We can see the son has known that father will built a new warehouse in three months ago in the dialogue. But his son does not tell his mother about it. Sara asks why his son does not tell her. But her son casually say: "I don’t think that is not good". Logically speaking, the mother as an elder, she has right to know more things at home, but that is not so. Sara and his son dialogue further show ingrained male mainstream culture at the end of nineteenth Century. As Brian said, patriarchal society is son directly inherited from his father. As another male in the family, son inherits heritage of the male values, not only know this details that father purchases cattle in three months ago , but also the impatient tone and attitude of thinking mother know this matter is "no good" that the same with his father exactly . Two people's attitude represents requirement of the patriarchal society to obey the real virtues of women, that think field of women is only chores. However, Sara does not obey and use with harsh attitude to face the son's disdain.3.3 Sara to complain about father daughterAs a daughter, the same she is also a woman, in the era of such a male dominated society. She is in a an unequal position, two women together only complain. Daughter also agree with mother's idea, that the father should not built a new warehouse, but built a new house. After all, she will marry. She needs a new house to go to the wedding. Although the female is no right, Sarah is also not submissive attitude, lamentable said "You don’t find we are woman, you have not been able to understand the men?" From this sentence we can see that Sara has had her feminist liberation consciousness, equal consciousness, brave to speak their mind, brave to complain. In fact, the world of being ruled by male, existence of pure female is a debatable issue. In the patriarchal family,relationship of mother and daughter is composed of single women. A lot of women think them will be against the power of men. Yes, as a woman, should not always keep silent and should not always be at the mercy of men. They should listen to their own command and have own ideas, have their own right to speak.We should pursue a world of equality and freedom.4. Victory of Sara Challenges the Patriarchal4.1 Sara asked her husband to discuss itsAbout building the new house, husband of Sarah always delay and without any accurate answer. when her husband is unloading wood, Sarah decide to discuss the matter with her husband. But her husband regards unloading wood and gravel pack as an excuse not to negotiate. However, Sarah doesn’t keep silence and yield. She get more firm, such as novels written as "Sarah Penn like a queen at the door; she lift her head seems to be wearing a crown, very patient, which makes with the imperial power in her voice." Finally the husband get relented and come her. However, it is such a real women of submissive and housekeeping, but is driven by strong self desire to build new house, through the language began to affirm self recognition and self value, especially is the value of their labor, this is a question of Sarah to real women value standard. In contrast, the definition of fuzzy gender struggles of women is more common and feasible. By mastering this power of language, women can reflect discourse about themselves wishes, and in order to achieve the purpose of changing power relations. This is a revolutionary of “The Revolt of Mother”. Sarah skillfully use the language to force male to admit her existence. Finally she realizes her wishes. Sara's voice has been implemented, Sara obtains the preliminary victory about challenging the patriarchal.4.2 Building a new house of Sara’s demandBecause of a strong desire of building a new house, Sara began to identify herself through language and affirm self-worth, especially their labor value. At the beginning of Sara sincerely ask and emotionally tell her husband that she wants to build a new house and hope to get the understanding and support of her husband, "This is where we got married forty years ago, at the time you have promised for me, and you said you will be able to finish the houses within a year, in that place...... In the past forty years, you would have earned enough money.I save money for you all the time, but you build new warehouse, additions to the barn and cattle circle, and always refuses to build a new house. I really want to know your feel about your action, is that right? " However, the husband is still not any response,and continue to keepsilence and refuse to Sarah's proposal. Although Sarah doesn’t not get positive response and support from her husband, but Sarah was through language gradually highlight her self-consciousness and self value. She begin to wake up, no longer to worship "real women, change thought of housewife of long submissive and silent. And began to become wife or mother of selfless dedication because of her live. Her husband doesn’t understand and support Sarah, he still refused to build a new house with silence. However, her consciousness and value are gradually revealed in the language level. And this kind of self awakening helped Sara began to gradually get rid of blind fate.Sarah’s guidelines of resistance to male centralism is in the name with love, put changing the family life as a starting point, regard love for husband and children as the motivation and purpose of a series of acts of resistance to fight against, which is the key what she was finally able to get to success. Establishment of a new home is a start of Sarah desire, but in fact, she hopes her family to be able to have a good living environment. And she also hope that she can prepare is new house for the wedding of her daughter in the future. Through the expression of language, Sarah's own will and resistance behavior get more rationalized.4.3 Guilt of husbandAfter Sara and her husband have a long talk, her husband doesn’t not answer Sara's questions, only go away with dragged . Her husband remains in the patriarchal society's dominance, and must keeps his arrogant attitude. To her husband, to make money and success is more important, which is stable and wealth, social status, achievement together. For Sarah, her home is her scope of activity and focus. This is a place to live , and it is related to interpersonal relationship and human feelings, it is also maintain affection. First, the two kinds of culture and value is the opposite and unable to communicate. The husband wanted to build a stable, he does not know Sara's desire what want a new house. Later, Sara will put the new stable into a new home. So, home of female field is above on stable of male dominated. She forced her husband can not only see his stables, but see the existence of the house. What make her value and culture successfully conveyed to her husband.However Sarah does not entangle her husband, instead of Sarah's sudden silence make his very surprised, he feel he is immoral. After a conversation of his son and he, gradually he begin to consider his wife's feelings, which is the first time over the years he tries to understand her form his wife's point. Silence is no longer Sarah’s obedience to"real women" values. On the contrary, she starts to get the attention of a male, breaks the deadlock of a male preside over the right to speak over the years. Sara used his speech and action to win understanding of her husband a little bit. Although there is no identity from her husband, she is not sinking down. She still help her husband to cut shirt and cook delicious food, with action to influence her husband. This is a rebellious skills, this kind of silently revolt, but it has also been substantial effect. Finally, she gets the husband's guilt and wins a preliminary victory.5. Sara win the complete victory of patriarchy5.1 Sara ordered to moveAfter Sara receives a letter from her brother's letter, her husband decided to buy horses. Sarah's heart beat is very powerful at that time. Perhaps because newly built warehouses soon became a real stable, and her new house is not forthcoming, so she get worried. Perhaps it is that she strongly wants to move into a new warehouse and desire of put into the new house to drive into practice in the past forty years. This is a awakening of her female consciousness. When her husband goes out. He gets serious and tense to look back his wife, which also make a hint for Sarah to move. When her husband left, Sarah's face constantly changing such as her work, her wrinkled forehead get smooth, her eyes is stable and her lips firmly closed. Sarah had already decided on the line of action. For Sarah, unexpected opportunity is what God arranged signs for the new direction of our life. In order to let the whole family live in spacious warehouse, let his daughter decently marry. Sarah will not give up this chance of course.Sarah grasps the opportunity, she ordered her children let them and she together to moved into the spacious, bright and new warehouse. Her words right the first change into the execution. It also marks the construction of female discourse and deconstruction of the male discourse. First of all, when her husband was out, first withthe identity of the family hostess forbids the workers putting grass into the new building, and then with the identity of the mother orders the children and she together to move to the new home. Description of Sarah’s appearance is very feminine, and she also more retains the virtues of the traditional women. She is a dutiful wife and mother. The reason of her revolt is what she consider her family rather than the pursuit of self realization. However on the other hand, with the development of the story, Sarah’s strong rebellious color independent personality is fully emerged. In the whole thing of moving, she is firm, decisive, determined and no concession. Sarah gradually unfold her power and rebellion that is not too conforms to female.She realized her own wishes, which is in the field of family life. Sarah with the identity of the wife and mother implementation against the first to win victory from the action , she was depicted to become an army fighting by Freeman reflecting the Sarah on the right of the first control5.2 Do not yield discussion of townsfolkThe next morning, the message of Sarah moved into new home spread throughout the town. The men gathered in shops to talk about that. Some people say, she is a deranged woman, and some people say, she has the soul of illegal rebellion. Although women of wearing scarf haven't finished work and flee into their house, Sarah doesn't hide in her house. She is not scared people of discussing her. She knows that is right to do their own thing. She is in accordance with their own ideas to do. She think she has such rights. In this quiet city, any deviation from the normal life behavior is enough to stop all progress. Everyone stop on the roadside to see the calm and independent woman. For her, there are always some different opinions. While Sarah hides her husband to move into warehouse, and this matter with the obvious personal in nature. Action of Sarah means to initiate to silently challenge her husband as the representative of the man at home in the habit of authority. While she not only to resist her husband or her individual behavior, but also to challenge the male authority with the nature. So not only is the husband of Sara, the whole village is horror by Sara's bold and rebellious action.。

She is sewing now.
What is Louisa doing in her garden?
• Louisa tied a green apron round her waist, and got out a flat straw hat with a green ribbon. Then she went into the garden with a little blue crockery bowl, to pick some currants for her tea. After the currants were picked she sat on the back door-step and stemmed them, collecting the stems carefully in her apron, and afterwards throwing them into the hen-coop. She looked sharply at the grass beside the step to see if any had fallen there.
A New England Nun
tired farmers
• A New England Nun • It was late in the afternoon, and the light was waning. There was a difference in the look of the tree shadows out in the yard. Somewhere in the distance cows were lowing and a little bell was tinkling; now and then a farmwagon tilted by, and the dust flew; some blue-shirted laborers with shovels over their shoulders plodded past; little swarms of flies were dancing up and down before the peoples' faces in the soft air. There seemed to be a gentle stir arising over everything for the mere sake of subsidence -- a very premonition of rest and hush and night.
解析《新英格兰修女》中的三重景观
解析《新英格兰修女》中的三重景观张月桂【摘要】文学作品对于空间的展呈方式多样,其体现形式也各自迥异,本文旨在分析景观作为空间因子在玛丽·维尔金斯·弗里曼的短篇故事《新英格兰修女》中如何融入并发展主题,此部作品勾勒了自然、居家生活以及社会文化三重景观,而此三维空间的转向以及交映阐释了女主人公路易莎内心两种声音(保守与进步)的呼唤,揭示了美国十九、二十世纪之交的社会时代特征,作为当时社会文化及其思想意蕴的产物,路易莎既展示出其难以摆脱新英格兰清教遗毒与父权机制禁锢的时代局限性,又表现出其勇于摒弃婚姻赢得自主与独立的进步性.【期刊名称】《北京化工大学学报（社会科学版）》【年(卷),期】2017(000)001【总页数】6页(P58-63)【关键词】《新英格兰修女》;三重景观;声音;世纪之交【作者】张月桂【作者单位】北京外国语大学英语学院,北京100089【正文语种】中文【中图分类】I712.074玛丽·维尔金斯·弗里曼（1852-1930）是美国十九、二十世纪之交著名的乡土女性作家，纵观弗里曼的小说，我们可以深刻感受到她对寻常农民的认同，对乡野恬淡生活的热爱和对清教徒意识的批判［1］。
通常弗里曼作品中在安静惬意的田园生活外表下掩盖的往往是女性渴望独立、追求平等的诉求，隐形的张力与矛盾总能透过其平淡别致的叙述方式体现出来。
通过婉约的笔调与丰满的人物形象塑造，弗里曼赋予其作品浓郁的新英格兰地方色彩与乡土气息，也在很大程度上为我们绘制了美国十九世纪末二十世纪初的瑰丽图景。
其短篇小说的女性角色大致分为两类，一类极其传统，偶尔被迫做出一件不可思议的反叛之事；一类则一直公然藐视并挑战社会传统［2］，而《新英格兰修女》(A New England Nun)的女主人公路易莎·埃利斯属于前者。
作为短篇故事集《一个新英格兰修女及其他故事》（A New England Nun and Other Stories 1891）中脍炙人口的名篇，《新英格兰修女》讲述了一位娴静独居的大龄女子路易莎，静静地等待外出务工的未婚夫裘·戴格特，待其未婚夫归来后解除婚约的故事。

【阅读】新英格兰一修女2010-08-30 20:56作者：玛丽·威尔金斯·弗里曼译者：戎逸伦天时不早了，天色渐渐暗了下来。
外边院里，树影也变换了模样。
老远不知什么地方牛声哞哞，夹上一个小铃在叮当作响；不时一辆农家大车晃晃悠悠过去了，扬起一片尘土；有些身穿蓝上衣的庄稼汉，肩扛铁锹，拖着沉重的步子走了过去；小股小股的苍蝇迎面拥来，在和风里不住上下起舞。
万物好象就因为要平静下来，才稍稍振作一番——正是一个先兆，预示着夜晚来临，万籁俱寂。
白昼这一番不紧不慢的折腾也传到了露易萨·艾丽丝身上。
她本来一下午都坐在起居室的窗前，安安静静做着针线。
这时候她把银针仔细别在针线活上，东西叠得方方正正，跟顶针、丝线、剪子一起放到一只筐里。
她这一生，这些妇女用的小搭配，记得从来没有一件放错过地方；东西用久了，常年不离手，成了她身上的一部分了。
露易萨拦腰系上一条绿围裙，拿出一顶扁平的草帽，上面还扎着一根绿丝带。
接着她端起一个蓝色的小瓦钵走进园子里，去摘点红醋栗烧茶喝。
摘完红醋栗她坐在后门的台阶上，把秸梗去掉，拿围裙小心兜着，过后扔进鸡笼。
她仔细看了看台阶边上的小草，怕有秸梗落在草上。
露易萨一举一动从容文静，她烧茶就烧了好久；不过茶好了一摆出来，那份讲究就象是她在请客，而来客正是她本人。
小方桌端端正正摆在厨房中央，上铺一块浆过的桌布，四边的镶花图案斑斓夺目。
露易萨在茶盘上盖了一块织锦餐巾，盘里摆好了一只盛满茶匙的雕花玻璃杯，一个银制的奶油罐，一个瓷糖缸，一只带茶托的粉色瓷茶杯。
露易萨是天天用瓷器的——左邻右舍谁家也不这样。
就为这事大家都在窃窃私议。
人家每天上桌的是常见的陶器，上等瓷器都是成套的摆设在客厅的壁橱里，何况她露易萨·艾丽丝一点也不比别人富裕，不比别人有教养。
可她还老是用的瓷器。
她晚饭吃的是满满一玻璃碟子的糖渍红醋栗，一盘小蒸糕，一块浅色的发面饼。
还有一两片生菜，切得煞是细巧。
露易萨非常爱吃生菜，她自己在小小的园子里种了一些，出色极了。
她吃得可香了。
但是，看那细嚼慢咽的斯文劲儿，简直很难相信那顿饭菜会被她吃光。
喝完茶，她盛了一盘烤得正到火候的薄玉米饼，端到屋外后院去。
“西塞！”她喊了起来。
“西塞！西塞！”一声急窜，铁链啷当一响，只见花草深处，一间小棚隐约可辨，门口出现一只黄白相间的大狗。
露易萨拍了拍它，把玉米饼给了它。
接着她又回得屋来涮洗茶具，把瓷器一点点擦得锃亮。
暮色已深，蛙鸣四起，从敞开的窗口飘了进来，尖声尖气噪得出奇，不时还穿插一只雨蛙刺耳的长吟。
露易萨解下绿方格的围裙，露出一条短围裙，白底上套着桃红的印花。
她掌上灯，又坐下来拿起针线。
约莫过了半个钟头，裘·戴格特来了。
她听到他沉重的脚步踏在走道上，起身解下白底红花的围裙。
里边还有一条——白色的布料，兜底是窄窄的一道细纺滚边；这是露易萨待客的围裙。
她有条不紊的匆匆叠起那条白底红花的围裙，刚把它放进饭桌的抽屉，门就开了，进来了裘·戴格特。
他象是把整个房间都占满了。
南面窗口的绿色鸟笼里，一只小小的黄金丝雀本来睡得好好的，这下闹醒了，瞎扑腾起来，小小的黄翅膀不住拍打着铁丝网。
每逢裘·戴格特进屋，它总是这样。
“晚上好，”露易萨说。
她伸出手去，亲切里带着几分庄重。
“晚上好，露易萨，”来人答话，声音响亮。
她拿了一把椅子给他，两人面对面坐下，中间隔张饭桌。
他坐得笔直，沉重的双脚端端正正朝前放着，拘谨而又不失轻松，四下里张望了一眼。
她彬彬有礼的挺身坐着，纤细的两手搭在白布围裙上。
“天真爽啊，”戴格特说。
“可不是，真爽，”露易萨轻轻应了一声。
“你一直在割草吗？”她稍后又问。
“嗯，我割了一整天了，就那块十英亩的地。
干得可热了。
”“那敢情的。
”“嗯，顶着日头干，可热了。
”“你母亲今天可好？”“嗯，母亲满好。
”“眼下想必莉莉·戴尔陪着她吧？”戴格特脸红了。
“嗯，是她陪着，”他慢声慢气答着腔。
他不怎么年轻了，可是宽阔的脸上还露出几分稚气。
露易萨没有他那么大，一张脸比起他来又白又细嫩，可是给人的印象倒是她大。
“她想必给你母亲帮不少忙，”她又说。
“我看也是；要不是有她，母亲都不知怎么过了呢，”戴格特说，热切里有点不好意思。
“她看样子真是个能干姑娘。
再说人长得也俊，”露易萨说。
“嗯，她长得是满俏的。
”戴格特说着说着翻起桌上的书来。
有一本是四四方方的红皮纪念册，还有一本“少女赠书”，本来归露易萨的母亲所有。
他拿起一本又一本，把书打开；过后又放下，纪念册摞在“赠书”上。
露易萨不住盯着书本，有点不自在。
她终于站起身来，把两书的位置调换一下，纪念册放到了下边。
原来一直是这么个摆法。
戴格特轻轻憨笑了一声。
“管它哪本书放顶上，不都一样吗？”他说。
露易萨望着他笑了笑，表示不赞成。
“我一向这么放的，”她咕了一句。
“你真是事事都要强，”戴格特说，又想笑出声来。
他宽阔的脸涨得通红。
他又呆了约莫一个时辰，这才起身离去。
他正往外走，叫一块小地毯绊了一下；他一心想站稳身子，又碰倒了露易萨放在桌上的针线筐，把它打翻在地。
他看看露易萨，又看看滚了一地的线轴；他手忙脚乱的纵身去捡，叫露易萨拦住了。
“不要紧，”她说，“你走了我捡就是。
”她这话说得生硬了些。
也许是她自己有点心烦，要不就是戴格特的紧张影响了她，所以她尽管要他放心，听起来总显得勉强。
裘·戴格特出得屋来，倒吸了一口傍晚的清新空气，又叹了一声，那心情活象一头清白无辜、好心好意的熊才从瓷器店里出来。
至于露易萨，她那心情，又活象是熊从瓷器店里走后那个受够了罪的好心店主。
她系上围裙，先是桃红的那条，再套上绿的。
她把撒满一地的宝物一一捡起，重新放进针线筐，再把小地毯铺平。
接着，她把灯放到地板上，对着大地毯仔细察看起来。
她甚至还伸出手指头在上边蹭了一下，再抬手看看。
“他脚上带了不少土进来，”她嘟囔着。
“我早料到了。
”露易萨拿来畚箕和刷子，把裘·戴格特的脚印仔细扫净。
这要是叫戴格特知道了，他该越发不知所措，越发拘谨了，尽管他的忠诚丝毫不为所动。
他一个星期来两回，看看露易萨·艾丽丝；每回坐在她这间赏心悦目的雅室里，他都觉得象是置身于一圈用花饰编扎的篱笆之中。
他不敢动弹，生怕笨手笨脚的一下子捅穿了小巧玲珑的篱网，而且他感到露易萨一直在顾虑重重的提防着，唯恐他生事。
无奈花饰也好，露易萨也好，都要求他不得不做到毕恭毕敬，坚韧忠诚。
再过一个月，他们就要结婚了，而在这以前的求婚倒很奇特，竟拖了十五个年头。
这十五年，有十四年他俩没有见过一次面，彼此也很少通信。
这些年裘一直在澳大利亚；他去本来是图的发家致富，图不到手他就呆着没走。
哪怕是呆上五十年才能娶上露易萨，他也要呆下去，不是老态龙钟的回得家来娶她，就是一辈子干脆回不了家，娶不成她。
不过这十四年发了家了；整整十四年，女的一直在耐心等他，毫不犹疑，如今他回来娶她了。
当初订婚不久，他就告诉露易萨，他决心出去闯闯，另辟生路，等确保过得丰衣足食，他俩再结婚不迟。
露易萨听从了他，依然是平素那般恬静，即使临到情人启程远行，前途未卜，她也毫不动容。
裘呢，别看他决心坚定不移，精神也为之一振，临走不免有点伤感。
倒是露易萨半红着脸吻了他，道了别。
“走不长的，”伤心的裘说过，嗓子都沙哑了；可是这一走就是十四年。
这段时间有不少变故。
露易萨的母亲和哥哥都死了，就剩她孤零零一个人活在世上。
但是最要紧的是——一个微妙的情况，他俩都太单纯，无法理解——露易萨踏上了一条小径，尽管上有晴空如洗，脚下是坦途，但是这路太直太正，只有走到她的墓地才看得到尽头；这路又太窄，她身边容不下旁人同行。
裘·戴格特回到家来（他没有通知她要来），露易萨先是感到惶惶不安，尽管她不肯对自己承认这一点；裘则是从来没有想到。
十五年前她爱上了他——至少她自以为如此。
正是在那个时候，她一味温顺的默默听从少女的天性所驱，把日后的婚姻看作生活的一个入情入理的特征，一个值得向往的前景。
她静心恭听母亲对这个问题的见解。
她母亲头脑冷静，生性平和可亲，非同一般，裘·戴格特找上门来的时候，她对女儿一番谈吐很有见地，于是露易萨毫不犹豫，答应了他。
他是她生平第一个情人。
她这些年一直对他忠贞不渝。
她从来没有想到过另嫁别人。
她的生活，尤其是后来这七年日子，一直过得非常安宁，心情舒畅。
情人不在身边，她从来没有感到不满或心烦。
她始终指望他回家完婚，认为这是出于常情的必然归宿。
可是，她又没法不把这门婚事老往后捱，这样遥遥无期，简直无异于捱过今世，只待来生了。
裘来了，本来她一直在盼他来，盼了十四年就等结婚，可如今她又觉得意外，吃了一惊，好象从来不曾想过这事。
裘后来也惶惶不安了。
他细看看露易萨，当初的倾慕之情油然而生。
她并没有多大变化。
她旧日的风韵还在，依然是温文尔雅，而且在他看来，就连妩媚动人也丝毫不减当年。
至于他自己，也算尽到了本份，一门心思已经不用在发家致富上了。
他两耳只听得风声呼啸，奏出了往日的绵绵情意，依然那般嘹亮，那般温存。
风声里他一向只听惯了一支曲子，名字就叫露易萨，而且历久不衰，这是他长期以来笃信不疑的。
但是现在他终于觉得，那支曲调虽然音犹在耳，曲名却换了一个。
倒是在露易萨听来，这阵风声始终不过是低声细语而已，如今已经消静下来，无声无息了。
她似想非想的注意聆听了一小会儿，随后悄悄转过身去，动手做起结婚穿的礼服来。
裘已经把住宅里边大改了一番，气派很是豪华。
房基地是家传的；新婚夫妇就在这里住家，因为裘不能撇下母亲不管，而他母亲又不肯离开老家。
所以露易萨只好舍了娘家。
她每天早上起得床来，在自己那些整整洁洁的闺秀家私当中穿来穿去，总觉得象是对着贴心朋友的一张张面孔看上最后一眼。
不错，她多少可以带着点走，可是时过境迁，这些东西也就改头换面，简直认不出来了。
再说，她孑然一身，快活自在，过起来也自有一番独到的特色，怕是通通都非得舍弃不可了。
眼下的家务优闲雅致而又可有可无，将来可就艰苦多了，恐怕都要堆在她身上。
一大幢房子放在那儿，要人照管吧；来了客人，要人接待吧；裘的老母亲又是苛刻又是衰弱，要人伺候吧；而她要是雇上不止一个佣人，又违背历来勤俭持家的乡俗。
露易萨有一个小小的蒸馏器，夏天里她常常兴致勃勃的忙着采撷玫瑰、薄荷、留兰香，从中提取芬芳扑鼻的香精。
早晚她的蒸馏器也得埋进土里。
她已经贮藏了不少香精，往后就是兴致还在，也没有时间提取了。
要不裘的母亲又该嫌傻了，她对这事的看法早就有所流露。
露易萨特别喜欢把布块缝连上，倒不一定回回都要用上，只因为她有这份兴致，乐在其中。
她不止一回拆了缝口又连上，就为图个高兴，自己不肯承认罢了。
风和日丽的日子，下午时间又长，她坐在窗前，手捧精致的织品，来回轻挑银针，身心浑然一片安宁。
可是今后就难得碰上这种傻里傻气的惬意事了。
