For the next few days she was very miserable. She could have made it up with the others quite easily at any moment if she could have brought herself to say that the whole thing was only a story made up for fun. But Lucy was a very truthful girl and she knew that she was really in the right; and she could not bring herself to say this. The others who thought she was telling a lie, and a silly lie too, made her very unhappy. The two elder ones did this without meaning to do it, but Edmund could be spiteful, and on this occasion he was spiteful. He sneered and jeered at Lucy and kept on asking her if she’d found any other new countries in other cupboards all over the house. What made it worse was that these days ought to have been delightful. The weather was fine and they were out of doors from morning to night, bathing, fishing, climbing trees, and lying in the heather. But Lucy could not properly enjoy any of it. And so things went on until the next wet day.

高老头(世界文学名著典藏)
《高老头》以1819年底至1820年初的巴黎为背景,描写了一个发人深省的故事:面条商高里奥老头靠粮食卖起家,养大女儿反而被女儿遗弃,悲惨的死在沃凯公寓的阁楼上;青年拉斯蒂纳纳在巴黎上层的社会的腐蚀下渐渐地走了堕落之路。高老头既是金钱的追逐者,又是拜金主义的牺牲品。他临死前一大段交织着爱与恨的泣嚎,是一篇对金钱罪恶的血泪控诉书,被人们誉为“千古绝唱”。作品通过高老头的悲剧,细致入微地描写了统治阶级的卑鄙罪恶,抨击了物欲横流、人性丑恶的社会现实,暴露了在金钱势力支配下资产阶级的人格沦丧和人与人之间赤裸裸的金钱关系。O侯爵夫人:克莱斯特小说全集(德国浪漫派文学丛书)
