Matriarch of the Hockleys

[-]. Board the Titanic

"G60...G60...Here, Fabby, this way, I found our cabin." Jack waved to his friend.The Titanic was really magnificent. He had never built such a luxurious ship in his life. It seemed that he was finally patronized by the goddess of luck today.

"Jack, there are so many people, I almost got pushed to the other side." Panting, Fabby put down the bag on his shoulders and sat down on the bed.

Although it is a third-class cabin, there are only eight beds in a cabin, and they are all two bunk beds, with a round table and a few stools in the middle.The environment here is much better than the hotel they stayed in before. There is no separate bathroom in the cabin, but there is a separate toilet.

"Phoebe, who told you to sleep in the lower bunk? That's my bed." Jack was a little mad when he saw Fabby wearing a stained coat.

"Jack, don't be so particular. Let me lie down first, and I'll give you the bed later." Fabby said with a smile.

London is still a bit chilly in April, but the air is good today.Under the clear blue sky, a group of seagulls were hovering and shouting. People on the pier waved hats and handkerchiefs to bid farewell to their relatives and friends on board. The Titanic made a deafening whine.Everything looks so beautiful.

"Ms. Ruth, Ruth. Your room is here. My room is in front. If you need anything, you can ask someone to find me at No. B52. I'll see you in the restaurant." Farewell, "Okay, goodbye. Dear Mr. Hockley." Ruth smiled and looked at Carl like his favorite jewelry. "Goodbye, Carl." Ruth said reservedly with her eyes downcast.

When Carl walked into his room, Leger was telling the waiter to tidy up the room. "The bouquet in the vase is a bit wilted, go and get a fresh bouquet of flowers with dewdrops." As he said, Leger opened a suitcase, and he quickly put the red wine, tea set, and Carl's favorite records in the last Suitable place.

"Leger, help me prepare some clothes. I will wear them to the restaurant for lunch after I take a shower." Carl loosened the tie around his neck and ordered.

"Yes, sir." Leger bent over Carl and continued, "Do I need to order a snack for you? After all, it will take a long time for lunch to start."

"You can figure it out! Don't be too sweet." After speaking, Carl walked into the bathroom.

"Ruth, I'm going to take a shower first, you get ready. We're going to the restaurant later." Rufu asked her daughter and walked into the room.Ruth looked at her mother's room expressionlessly, feeling very helpless in her heart.She walked into her room quickly, and closed the door with a "bang" before the maid came in to tidy up.She bit her lips tightly, lying on her back on the bed, tears streaming from her eyes, her gray-blue eyes staring at the ceiling were full of helplessness.

Does she have a future worth looking forward to?

"Andrea, how about this dress with sapphires? It matches your blue eyes very well!" Countess Bruce asked her little daughter, "Is this one? Not bad, then this one Come on! Mom, help me pull the waistband." Andrea has a very slender figure, even without a waistband, she can still have a slender waist that women envy and men love.But in order not to be rude, she should still wear it.She asked her mother to help her pull the girdle, knowing that a person cannot tie the girdle by himself.

"Mom, how about this pearl necklace?" Andrea took out a necklace from the jewelry box. The bright white pearls on it were round and full, and there was a delicate ruby ​​inlaid with silver in the middle.

"My little Andrea looks good in anything she wears." Countess Bruce put on the delicate necklace for Andrea.That pearl necklace made Andrea's already white as snow skin more delicate.The dazzling ruby ​​under the collarbone made Andrea, who was originally slightly childish, reveal a unique girlish style, which is something that fashionably dressed glamorous women can hardly match.

"Mom, I packed it up, let's go." Andrea smiled at herself in the mirror with satisfaction, and elegantly took her mother's arm and walked to the restaurant.

The first-class Palm Palace restaurant is the most magnificent existence on the Titanic.The facilities inside are complete, with exquisite and expensive dishes, gorgeous decorations, exquisite porcelain from the mysterious East, and the most famous band in London presenting wonderful music one after another for wealthy businessmen and celebrities from different places.

The restaurant at this time is not the busiest, there will be a dance in the restaurant at night, and almost all the first-class passengers are there at that time, they dance and talk, and the flow of people is surging, like dancing butterflies flying among flowers.

"Mrs. Bruce, long time no see. Is this your daughter, Miss Bruce? What a lovely person." A plump woman asked Mrs. Bruce, "Oh! Yes, this is my daughter, Ender Leah Bruce. Andrea, this is Mrs. Smith." Mrs. Bruce introduced to Andrea with her head tilted. "Nice to meet you, Mrs. Smith." Andrea replied.

"Oh, Andrea, Mrs. Bruce, Mrs. Smith, hello." A freckled girl took Andrea's arm so familiarly.

"Miss William, nice to meet you." Mrs. Bruce didn't expect to see her close friend's daughter on the Titanic. "Are you here with your mother?"

"My dad is reluctant to let my mother go to the United States with me. I received an invitation from my aunt to attend my cousin's birthday party in the United States." Miss William smiled and poked Andrea secretly.

"Mom, Mrs. Smith, I'm sorry. Miss William and I will go out for a while." After speaking, Andrea and Miss William walked to the dining table on the other side.

"Okay, let's go play!" Mrs. Bruce turned her head and continued talking to Mrs. Smith about the most famous jewelry store in London.

"Oh! Doris, you didn't tell me in advance that you were going to the United States." Andrea accused her friend a little unhappy.

"Forgive me! Dear Andrea, you know, I didn't do it on purpose." As she spoke, Miss William sent a donut from the dinner plate to Andrea's dinner plate as if begging for mercy. .

"Forgive you this time, and next time, heh." Andrea poked the dark chocolate cake on the plate again and again with a knife.

"Ah!" Andrea was hit by someone, and all the desserts on the plate fell to the floor. Fortunately, she didn't stain her skirt.Andrea, who showed displeasure on the surface but couldn't help roaring in her heart, looked at the dessert she had been coveting for a long time on the ground, and turned to look at the culprit who caused this embarrassing scene.

It was a blonde girl in a brown evening dress. She seemed to be in a bad mood, and she just said sorry and wanted to turn around and leave.But what does this have to do with Andrea, she only knows that the person who ruined her dessert must have tried to leave without realizing his mistake.Never underestimate dessert's place in a sweet tooth's heart.

And this girl is Miss Ruth who thinks that the surrounding is disgustingly hypocritical.Ruth managed to get rid of her mother and Carl, who was always courting her, but unfortunately bumped into Andrea before she walked out of the restaurant.

"Miss, haven't you taken etiquette lessons? Is this the attitude you should have after getting into trouble?" Andrea put the dinner plate on the table and shot Ruth a sharp look .Miss William seemed to see the dark breath emanating from behind Andrea.

"Miss, I've said too much to you. Can't you hear me?" Miss Ruth Cabot, who was always accommodating herself since she was a child, was very upset.Obviously, I have already said too modestly, why is this domineering lady still making trouble for no reason?

"Apologize? Do you mean your indifferent attitude or just a word of sorry?" Miss William felt dissatisfied with this rude lady who bumped into her friend.

The author has something to say: Karl first met Miss Bruce, and the first glimpse made him have a good impression of Miss Bruce.
