[Titanic] Harbor

After laughing, everyone's attention gradually shifted to the lunch brought by the servant.

This is the Titanic. This huge ship brings together passengers from different countries all over the world. Purely British dining will not appear.

Even so, at least the item of serving dishes by the servants has been preserved.They appeared alternately between the two guests, holding various foods in their hands, and there were common knives and forks on the plate for the guests to use.

Most of the guests here are from the UK, but a few are Americans.

This means that traditional etiquette does not have to be followed, and they don't have to exchange a conversation partner every 10 minutes, or start with the weather stiffly, and then slowly cut to some innocuous content.

Mrs Buckett may not have known the red tape of an English lunch, but if she had, she would not have followed it.

Anyone who prevents Ruth from being with Carl will be the target of her hostility!

She can ignore everything else, she only cares that Karl treats Ruth very well, and he is willing to spend money on Ruth.Therefore, Karl will be Ruth's best destination, and she cannot tolerate anything that hinders Ruth and Karl from being together.

And Erica was listed at the top of them.

It is worth mentioning that the man named Jack, sitting next to Erica, took second place.

Or maybe, these two people are tied for first place, in no particular order?

"Miss Erica. Your dining posture is very standard."

"Etiquette is a compulsory course for ladies." Erica smiled, turned her head and whispered to the waiter, "I want some beef."

The waiter cut Erica some cold beef with a silver knife.The meat is of excellent quality and exhibits a tender colour.This made Erica very sure that she could eat more food.

"Lady? I heard from others that you already have a fiancé? When will we hear the good news?"

Erica picked up the beef and brought it to her mouth, but she heard what Mrs. Bucket said, she had to put down the meat that reached her mouth first, and she couldn't eat the meat at her mouth. This was definitely a kind of torture.Erica made a heavy note of Mrs. Bucket in her heart.

"I thought that after getting engaged, there is no rush to get married. After all, you have to leave some time to determine your own mind. A woman will not change for life until she has given it."

"Engagement itself is an expression of determination. How can a person who has no feelings get engaged?" Mrs. Bucket retorted with a sneer.

"I think Erica is right! I need to confirm my mind." Ruth put down the knife and fork. When she said this, she looked at Carl, as if she was really confirming something.

Mrs. Bucket felt she was going to explode.On the one hand, she felt that Erica really had bad intentions, and on the other hand, Ruth was too dishonest, and she thought it made sense when others said it casually!

Sitting next to Mrs. Bucket was a noble lady. She was happy to hear that Mrs. Bucket, a woman whose eyes were above her head, was torn down.

Because her daughter hooked up with a rich man, this woman showed off everywhere and even looked down on them.

Who will be worse than whom?

These are things that are changing rapidly. Even if he is the heir of the steel giant, it is hard to guarantee that one day he will not like Ruth.Let's see when the time comes, who can have the last laugh!

But even though I thought so, the scene was not easy to make too rigid.At least on the surface, it can't be too stiff.Moreover, she came out to smooth things over, so as to give Karl a good impression.

Finally, after much hesitation, this lady hits Mrs. Bucket where it hurts—university.

"Ruth is a very thoughtful girl. I heard that you went to college? Let me tell you, not all parents are so enlightened now! I believe you must have learned a lot from college."

"My dad was very supportive. It really is."

Ruth is a charming girl.She may not be the thinnest of them all, nor the one with the narrowest waist, but she has a special kind of beauty that is in a class of her own.When you see her and talk to her, you feel that she is very warm.

Her smile has always been a weapon that makes Carl fascinated.

And now, Ruth finally showed her first smile since lunch.

University is an absolutely unforgettable time for her.She determined her goals and pursuits there, and learned a lot of new ideas and useful knowledge.

The role of university for her is like a key, unlocking the lock on her body, allowing her to understand how big the world is and how many wonderful ways to live in a person's life.

But also because of this, because she knows more than anyone else.Therefore, in the social circle, she has been faintly excluded.

"I've been reading Freud recently and that's what my professor recommended."

"Freud? What is that? A great author?"

Erica was listening, and she saw Mrs. Bucket's face turn green. She obviously knew who Freud was.

Erica also knew that this author's book was once a bibliography circulated by students during her schooling, but when she first read this book, she just thought the content was more interesting.

"Floyd. He was a great doctor."

"Doctor? That is indeed a good profession, respected, and...heals the wounded."

"No, no, this gentleman is not a doctor in the ordinary sense. His greatness lies in the fact that he studies spiritual aspects. I am reading his "Three Essays on Sexuality""

"...."

There was a brief silence at the dining table. Everyone was startled by Ruth's bold words and didn't know how to answer.

Erica realized that she was listening to a classic conversation on the Titanic.But it seems that because of her intervention, the content of the conversation still has a lot of deviation.

But who cares?

The Titanic she knew was only the one in the movie, and the historical stories had already been buried under the sea.

Neither version counts.What her eyes see is what happens in this world.

Even so, Erica still tried to change something, from Ruth's words at this time, to the life of Mr. Green on the deck.She is willing to change everything she can, and only hopes that in the end, these changes will work in her unfavored life.

"I really envy you, Ruth! I don't know what you said, but I went to the library yesterday, and the collection of books there is told. The collection of books at your school must be richer!"

"Erica, if you like to read, I thought I could help you a bit. Sometimes we women know something about this that helps..."

"Ruth! I'm assuming you know what you're talking about, it's just...!" Mrs. Bucket interrupted her daughter. The direction of the conversation can only show Ruth's deviant, and the word, never Not a compliment.

She was a little afraid to look at Carl's face now. Ruth, a silly girl, never knew that she had seized the opportunity in front of her.

Therefore, I must help her.

"Miss Erica. I think this just happens to expose your ignorance! Ruth and Carl are getting married soon. They have a lot of preparations for the new couple. Therefore, my daughter has no time for you What books to explain."

Mrs. Bucket paused, and continued speaking very fast without waiting for Erica to speak.

"I don't know who has bad intentions for you. They spread negative news about you, saying that you were abandoned by your fiancé. Oh! Poor girl, if you need a hug, I think I will provide it for you at any time, but I Still curious, why are you going to America at this time?"

"Rumors stop with the wise, ma'am." Erica stopped the knife and fork in her hand. She was 12 helpless for this madam who was always targeting her, but Bukett's words had reached the bottom line. If she didn't refute today If anything, tomorrow, she will not be able to gain a foothold!

"I don't think this matter should have reached my ears." Erica paused meaningfully, her blue eyes looked at Mrs. Bucket, as if to confirm whether this woman The so-called wise men.

"However, I still want to thank you for everything you have done for me. Even at the risk of being a gossip woman, you insisted on telling me the truth. I am really grateful. As an aside, I think you can invest Newspapers."

"Newspaper? Why is that?" Jack sat beside Erica and answered Erica's conversation.

He didn't know much about dining etiquette, but Erica's movements were slow and standard, and he followed Erica's example without making too much of a fool.

Erica's movements were slowed down specifically to take care of him.Because Jack found that when he got used to the basic movements, Erica's eating speed increased a lot.

This lady named Erica is really amazing.While playing games with Mrs. Bucket, she did not eat less.These portions far exceed a 'lady' dining standard.

Erica grabbed the ladder that Jack handed over, and replied slowly: "Because Madam has managed to give the parties a right to know, which is the primary accusation for the newspaper industry. It's the same for me."

She looked at Carl and spoke word by word.

The matter was originally provoked by Karl.This man held a lot of hostility towards himself from the very first face.

Erica believed that such things as hostility never happened for no reason.

So if she could, she hoped she could still know where Jack's hostility came from.
