Matriarch of the Hockleys

"Yes." "No." Ruth and Jack replied in unison, Ruth looked at Jack with surprise.Fortunately, there was no disdain in Ruth's beautiful eyes.

oh!It's great that she doesn't have the idea of ​​those noble ladies looking down on commoners.Seeing that Ruth did not show a look of contempt, Jack was secretly happy.

"Then how did this passenger appear here? I remember that non-first-class passengers are not allowed in the first class, isn't it?" Hudson looked at Jack with sharp eyes.

"This passenger, may I ask which cabin you are in? Please go to the duty room to make a record." A crew member hurriedly said that he was promoted to the first-class cabin with great difficulty, and he could not be sent to the second-class cabin because of this incident. , You must know that the tips given by these first-class passengers in a day are hard to match in a month in the second-class cabin.

"What's going on?" Colonel Gesire and Carl had gone to the deck to get some wind and sober up, but they didn't expect to see so many people gathered together.

"Colonel Gesire," Hudson said in surprise,

"Ruth? Why are you here? What happened?" Carl saw Ruth who was a little embarrassed.

"You are?" Mr. Hudson's hostility towards this gentleman who directly called Miss Ruth as Ruth, wouldn't he also be Miss Ruth's suitor?

"I am a friend who went to the United States with Miss Ruth and Mrs. Ruth, Carl Hudson, you are Miss Ruth's suitor!" Carl deliberately teased.He looked at Hudson, whose eyes were full of admiration, with bitterness in his heart.What is the difference between my former self and Hudson? Unfortunately, I still haven't been favored by Ruth. My pursuit doesn't matter to Ruth!

"We just met, that's it. This Mr. Dawson somehow appeared on the deck of the first-class cabin and rescued Miss Ruth." Hudson changed the subject. He had a crush on Miss Ruth, but he He hasn't made up his mind to pursue Ruth yet, after all, he doesn't know Ruth well.

Ruth looked at Carl with a guilty conscience, but she was happy that she finally didn't need it, and she made false claims with him.

"I'm a third-class passenger. I was walking in the corridor, but I walked onto the deck of the first-class cabin without knowing it. I just saw Miss Ruth slipping, and I hurriedly tried to pull her, but stepped on the bead. It has slipped. The bead is on the side of the boat rail, you can look for it.” Jack said hastily.

"Yes, this Mr. Dawson is not lying." The crew picked up the beads and gestured to several gentlemen.

"Thank you for your help to Miss Ruth. Here is 20 dollars. I hope you will accept it. Don't rush into the first class next time." Mr. Hudson said with a smile on his face.

Is my life only worth 20 dollars? Ruth was very displeased with Hudson's behavior, "Why don't you come to the first class and have dinner with us tomorrow!" Ruth has a lot of love for Jack, who has the same hobby as her. good impression. "At seven o'clock in the evening, I'll meet you at the restaurant." Apparently Ruth didn't consider whether a third-class passenger would be turned away because of what he was wearing.

"Of course." Jack, who was immersed in joy, didn't think about this question either, he was ecstatic because of Ruth's invitation.

Seeing Ruth's kind face towards a boy in the third class, and the admiration for Ruth in Jack's eyes, Mr. Hudson's expression was a little bad.If he was not sure before, then at this time, Hudson has made up his mind to pursue Ruth.

"I'll take Ruth back!" It's time to get rid of Ruth, Carl said calmly.

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Hockley." Ruth felt a little uncomfortable seeing Hudson's darkened face.So when I heard Karl's words, I hurried to respond.

"Then goodbye, Mr. Hudson and Colonel Gesire." Ruth said goodbye to Hudson and the others with a smile.

When Carl sent Ruth to the room, Mrs. Ruth just came back. "Oh! Ruth, what happened to you?"

"Miss Ruth accidentally fell into the sea, and Mr. Hudson saved her. I just passed by and came back with Ruth." Carl looked at Mrs. Ruth with a half-smile.

"Ah, that's right, thank you for your help." Mrs. Lufu felt a little embarrassed, and was embarrassed to be seen through with her small plan.

"By the way, Mrs. Rufu hasn't found a hotel yet? When I arrive in the United States, it will be difficult to book a hotel at once. I'll go first, ma'am." Ignoring Mrs. Rufu's reaction, Carl went straight He left, completely ignoring the promise he had made when he invited Rufu's mother and daughter to the United States to help them find a place to stay.

"Come in," Madam Rufu said with a bad face, "Go and take a shower first, let's talk later,"

When Ruth entered the bathroom, Rufu sat on the sofa with a worried expression.Why did Mr. Hockley say that?Was it not because of Mr. Hudson that he had given up on Ruth?I'll have to ask Ruth about her and Mr. Hudson's progress later.I just hope she can get the favor of Mr. Hudson, otherwise...

Ruth was a little worried, and she walked towards the bedroom as if she had made a major decision. "Mother."

"Ruth, can you chat with Mr. Hudson?" Rufu rubbed his temples and said with a headache, "It seems that Mr. Hockley has given up pursuing you. We must catch Mr. Hudson. His Father was a wealthy furrier."

"It's okay," Ruth said with a guilty conscience, remembering Mr. Hudson's somewhat dissatisfied expression when he came back.

"You have to take care of Mr. Hudson, we don't have much cash on hand. It's time for your marriage contract to be signed. I have to find out where I live in the United States. It would be too expensive to stay in a hotel all the time." "You Rest first, you must perform well at the dinner party in the next few days." Lu Fu frowned.

"I will, Mom." Ruth didn't care a bit about what her mother said was running out of money.Because the upper class thinks that unmarried ladies are not allowed to touch money, Ruth has always been unclear about the management of the family.Because the quality of life at home has not declined significantly, Ruth always thought it was her mother's alarmist talk.

"Sir?" Leger looked at the angry Karl suspiciously. How could the sir be so angry?what happened?

"You go down first!" Carl sat on the chair and drank lipstick tea.No wonder Ruth refused to go to the dinner party with her tonight. It turned out that there was a better choice.He wants to see how she hooks up with Mr. Hudson. Not everyone is willing to take advantage of the huge debts owed by the Cabot family. "Hmph," Carl pursed his lips.

The sun rose above the sea level, and it was another sunny morning.

"Hey, Jack. Why were you in such a mess yesterday?" Ferbie asked his friend, "You didn't fail your love affair, did you?"

"What, don't talk nonsense. I rescued a lady yesterday, and she invited me to a banquet in the first-class restaurant tonight." Jack shared his joy with his friends.

"A first-class dinner?! Boy, you are so lucky, there must be a lot of delicious food, caviar, salmon, roast goose...it's so wonderful," Fabby exclaimed ecstatically, "Jack, you Good luck, did they tip you? $10? $15? Or $20?"

"I didn't charge it," Jack scratched his head, "that's what I should have done."

"Oh my God! Jack, you are so generous. You know we are penniless except for this ticket." Fabby exclaimed exaggeratedly.

"Don't worry, Phoebe, there will always be a solution. Do you have a decent dress after all?" Jack suddenly remembered that he didn't have any clothes for the dinner party, and he asked hurriedly.

"Why do I have that kind of thing? Why don't you go to the lady at night and ask her to find one for you, after all, she invited you." "It seems that this is the only way, is there anything to eat? I'm starving." Jack sighed.

"I just took a piece of smoked fish, bread, and a small piece of German sausage from the dining room." Hearing this, Fabby took a plate from the upper bunk and handed it to Jack, "I snatched this from the crowd. , I didn’t expect the food on the Titanic to be so good, the restaurant was so crowded that my feet were stepped on several times.”

"It's really rich. If I enter the first-class restaurant, I'll bring you some strange food." Jack said with a smile while eating.

Andrea sat in the coffee shop and ate desserts leisurely. The pastry chefs on board were really skilled. This mango pancake was really delicious. The springy dough, the cream with fresh lemon flavor, the rich mango aroma, and the slightly bitter black tea are not greasy at all, it is really too star lake! (☆w☆)

Fortunately, I didn't have lunch with my mother, otherwise my mother would have restricted her desserts at all.The star-eyed Andrea thought happily.

Karl looked up and found Andrea sitting in the corner inadvertently, and was taken aback by Andrea's happy eating.Mango pan halberd?Is it so delicious?

Carl suddenly had an appetite for mango pancakes, so he recruited a waiter, tipped him a dollar, and ordered him to serve the same mango pancakes as Andrea.

Carl cut open the mango pan halberd and bit into it. The taste is smooth, salty, sweet and soft, with all kinds of flavors entangled in it.It was really delicious, no wonder Miss Bruce showed such a happy expression.

Carl was also dispelled by the delicious dessert because of Ruth's gloomy expression.She's just the daughter of a down and out noble family, and she dares to hook up everywhere.I'd like to see what kind of man she finds.

Mr. Hudson looked at Ruth with some doubts.What's the matter with Miss Ruth today, why is she so absent-minded?Could it be that she didn't want to see herself?Mr. Hudson thought with some worry.

"Waiter, two fish steaks, add some lemon juice. The rest remains the same." Mr. Hudson instructed the waiter, "Ruth, do you want anything else?" Mr. Hudson looked at Ruth attentively.

"No, that's fine." Even though she said that, Ruth was still a little unhappy.You have already ordered, why do you ask me?It turns out that Mr. Hudson, like Carl, is a man who does not respect women's opinions.Ruth groaned.

"Ruth, is the fish steak still to your taste?" I heard that several ladies in London like this dish very much.

"It's not bad," Ruth said out of place, I don't like fish, I want lamb chops.
