布兰福德心碎了，他多想跟着那女孩啊，然而他又真切地渴望见这个女人，是她的精神一直陪伴他，激励他；而此时她就站在那儿，苍白丰满的面庞，温柔而理性；灰色的眼睛里闪着温和的光芒。
布兰福德没有犹豫，他紧抓着那本破旧的《人性的枷锁》，它是他向她证明身份的依据。

布兰福德摆正双肩，敬了个礼，然后把书递给那个女人，尽管他的失望之情似乎已经溢于言表，但他仍彬彬有礼地说道：“我是约翰·布兰福德，您——您是梅内尔女士吧，我可以——可以请您吃饭吗？”
女人微笑着。
“孩子，我不明白这是怎么回事，”
她说道，“那位穿绿衣服的年轻小姐请求我戴上这朵玫瑰花，她说如果你请我一块儿出去，就告诉你，她在街对面的餐厅等你。
她说这是一种考验。”
