I can’t go either. I interrupted that as soon as I heard about your evening, I called Susan Rouvier and made an appointment to have dinner with her.

Who is Susan Rouvier? Isabel asked.
Larry, a female friend, I deliberately sought her heart.
I have long suspected that Larry was secretly hiding his beauty in the golden house, gray said with a smile
Nonsense. Isabel said, I know Larry’s private life very well. No, I don’t
Well, let’s have another cocktail at last, Gray said.
After we finished the cocktail, I said goodbye to them and they walked with me to the hall. When I was wearing my coat, Isabel snuggled up to Gray’s arms and looked at him with gentler eyes. I just said that she lacked this trait, and her eyes pretended to be vivid.
Gray, you can’t lie to me. Do you think I’m affectionate?
No, honey, it won’t. What’s the matter? Does anyone say you’re in love?
not
She turned her head so that Gray couldn’t see her expression, and then she spat out her tongue at me. Eliot would definitely feel disgraced if she knew it.
It’s two different things. I mumbled and closed the door.

When I passed Paris again, the Matulins had left Eliot’s apartment and moved into someone else. I missed Isabel, who was both pleasing to the eye and elegant in speech. Everything was easy to communicate and harmful to people. But I haven’t seen her since. I wrote a letter, and Isabel didn’t write a letter. It was news that Christmas that year, I went to her greeting card. There was a beautiful room with photos of the colonial style porch. It should be a farm house. At the beginning, they were willing to leave it when they needed money. Today, the postmark shows that they are willing to send the card to Dallas. The details
I’ve never been to Dallas, but I think it’s the same as other American cities. Residential areas, car markets, suburban clubs are all very convenient. The rich people live in beautiful mansions. Outside is a spacious garden. Looking out from the living room, there are spectacular hills or valleys. Isabel’s new home must be similar to a mansion. From the cellar to the attic, it’s the most fashionable style. It’s carefully designed by popular designers in new york. I hope that compared with her Renoir paintings, Monet paintings, Monet landscape paintings and Gauguin paintings, it won’t look old-fashioned. Her restaurant must Isabel regularly holds luncheons, and there is also a lot of wine and food. Isabel has gained a lot of knowledge in Paris. If she thinks that the living room is not enough, she will definitely not stay, otherwise she will do her best to hold the adult dance of her two daughters. Jon Priscilla should be of marriageable age now, and I believe they are all well-educated. Isabel also ensures that they behave well in all aspects, so that the young talents can see that Gray’s face is redder and her hair is thinner. Isabel is still more beautiful than her two daughters. The Matulins must have brought honor to the district. However, Isabel is funny, elegant, attentive and harmonious. Hugret is of course a standard common custom.

I would still meet Susan Rouvier at three o’clock, and then the situation changed unexpectedly, so she left Paris and disappeared from my life. Two years later, one afternoon after the above incident, I spent an hour in the art gallery of Odeon Theatre, and then I wanted to visit Susan. At that time, we had not seen her door for six months, and my thumb was buttoned with a palette, and I wore a blouse with paint all over my head.
Oh, you’re here. I didn’t expect her to be so polite. After all, we usually match you and me. I walked into the living room as a studio and saw an oil painting on an easel.
I’m in a hurry now, but I’m going to keep busy for half a minute. You won’t believe it, but I have to prepare 30 paintings for my solo exhibition at Meyerheim Art Gallery.
Meyerheim is amazing. How did you do it?
Meyerheim is not a good painter along the Seine River. Most of their small shops are often closed because they don’t pay the rent. Maybe Meyerheim runs a high-end art gallery on the bustling Seine River, and his reputation is internationally renowned. Anyone who includes him as a Tibetan painter will definitely rise.
Mr. Yakhil brought him to see me. He thought I was talented.
D 39 auresavielle, I said that the best translation of this sentence should be that ghosts believe in old women
She gave me a look and giggled.
I’m getting married.
With Meyerheim.
Don’t be silly. She put the paintbrush palette on. I’ve been working all day. It’s time to have a rest. Let’s have a glass of port and I’ll tell you the whole story.
The characteristics of French life make people dare not flatter. They are not forced to drink a cup of sour port wine when they are drinking, but they have to do as they are told. Susan took a bottle of wine and two cups, then filled the glass and sat down with a sigh to relieve the burden.
I have been suffering from varicose veins for several hours, and my legs are sore and painful. The thing is that Mr. Yakhil’s wife died at the beginning of this year. She is very kind and devout Catholic, but Mr. Yakhil married her for business reasons. Although he respected her, now she is not so sad that Yakhil is dead. His son’s marriage is not bad, and his daughter’s marriage has been settled. Although she is a Belgian, she is a noble. She has a beautiful castle near namur. Mr. Moore thinks that his wife will never let herself delay the happiness of young people, although she is still in mourning. Once the property is completed, a wedding will be held. Mr. Yakhil will be very lonely if he lives alone in Lille Mansion. He needs a woman to take care of his life and play outside the mansion. Simply put, he wants me to take the place of his wife. My first marriage was to smooth the competition between the two companies. I don’t regret it, but the second marriage can’t be what I want.
I really admire you, I said
Of course, this means that I will lose the restraint of my past life, but I still have to consider the future. To tell you the truth, I am in my forties, and Mr. Yakhil is also old. What should I do in case he suddenly wants to pursue a 20-year-old girl? I also have to think about my daughter. She should be as good-looking as her father at the age of 16 and have received a good education, but the fact is that she is neither talented as an actress nor qualified as a prostitute as her poor mother. Then I ask you what she can expect to be a secret clerk or postman. Mr. Yakhil really generously promised to keep her and give her a substantial dowry so that she can marry a good family. Honestly, no matter what others say, women are most satisfied with their careers or marriage. I accepted Mr. Yakhil’s proposal without saying anything about my daughter’s happiness, and I didn’t hesitate to talk less about pleasure. As the years went by, more and more people didn’t want me. I still want to be faithful to women after marriage, because according to my years of experience, the key to a happy marriage is that husband and wife are loyal to each other.
Very noble sentiment, beauty. I said, will Mr. Yakhil come to Paris every two weeks to do business?
Oh, baby, what do you take me for? When Mr. Yakhil proposed to me, I said the first thing was to listen to me and say that I love you and come to the board of directors. That’s settled. I don’t trust you alone. He said that at my age, how could you do stupid things? I told him that Mr. Yakhil is in the prime of life. I know better than anyone your enthusiasm and temperament. You are graceful and charismatic, and you are the most likely to attract bees and butterflies. I think you should stay away from temptation. Finally, he promised to transfer the board of directors to a son to replace him. When I came to Paris, Mr. Yakhil acted as if I didn’t talk about it. In fact, Susan sighed with satisfaction. Poor woman. If men were not vain to this extent, our life would be even more bitter.
It all sounds good, but what does this have to do with your solo exhibition in Meyerheim?
Why are you so stupid today, little fool? Didn’t I say that Mr. Yakhil is brilliant? He has to consider his own status. People in Lille are particularly picky. Mr. Yakhil hopes that I will occupy a place now. After all, he is a big shot and his wife is a big shot. You know that foreigners love to meddle. They will ask Susan Rouvier who she is and tell them that she is a famous painter. She has been well received in the exhibition of Meyerheim Art Gallery recently. It is a shame that Susan Rouvier was colonized. For many years, the widow of an officer of the Corps has supported her family with her own talent, cared for her young and lost lovely daughter, and showed typical French women’s perseverance. Thanks to Mr. Meyerheim, who has a unique eye, she will soon have a chance to appreciate her exquisite brushwork and skillful painting style at his flag gallery.
What nonsense? I said, ears pricked up.
Dear, this is Mr. Yakhil’s announcement, and all major newspapers in France will publish this news. He is so amazing that he even accepted Mr. Meyerheim’s harsh conditions without blinking an eye. A VIP reception will be held to celebrate the fact that the Minister of Fine Arts owes Mr. Yakhil a favor. He will give a forceful speech, first appreciating our painting talent, and then going to the state to reward our merits. He has bought a painting. When the country is hidden in Paris, people from all walks of life will greet those painting critics personally to make sure that they not only write a face-to-face evaluation, but also take a considerable share. Those spiteful guys are poor, and
You should be ashamed of all this, dear. You came with a kind heart.
Easeur56 But the grammar translation of her sentence is not finished yet. Mr. Yakhil bought a villa on the seaside of St. Rafael in my name. My title in Lille Circle is not only a famous artist but also a lady of the class. He will retire in two or three years, and then we will live in the blue coast like a gentleman. He can row boats and catch shrimps in the sea, and I will concentrate on painting. I will show you the paintings.
Susan finally found her own style after imitating many old painting styles for many years. She still can’t sketch, but she is very sensitive to colors. She showed me a lot, including the landscape paintings of Versailles Palace Garden Fontainebleau Forest when her mother lived in Anjou Province, and the street scenery in the suburbs of Paris attracted her. Her paintings were often superficial, but with flowers, they were elegant and refined. I especially said that one of them was pleasing to her, and the theme I wanted to buy seemed to be woodland or white scarf. Although I checked it again and again afterwards, I was still sure that I found it quite suitable on the spot after asking the price.
That’s very kind of you. She shouted that this is the first painting I sold. Of course, I can’t give it to you until after the exhibition, but I will. They will say in the newspaper that it’s not a bad thing to help you publicize this painting after all. You really have a good eye. This is my pride. She picked up a magnifying glass and studied it very emotionally. She narrowed her eyes as she said it. I’m sure it’s right. How rich and delicate the various green tones are, and how white it is. It’s a stroke of genius to give the composition a very unique sense of body. This is called talent and it
It seems that she has moved towards a professional painter.
All right, baby, we’ve chatted long enough. I have to work
I have to go, too, I said
