那位印度绅士
但对厄门加德和洛蒂来说,去阁楼朝圣是一件危险的事。
他们永远无法完全确定萨拉何时会在那里,而且他们几乎永远无法确定阿米莉亚小姐不会在学生应该入睡后巡视卧室。
因此他们的来访很少,而萨拉过着一种陌生而孤独的生活。
当她待在楼下时,生活比她待在阁楼里时更加孤独。
她无人可倾诉;当她被派出去办事,走在街上时,那是一个孤独的小小身影,提着篮子或包裹,风起时努力按住帽子,下雨时感觉雨水浸透鞋子,她觉得匆匆而过的人群使她的孤独感更加强烈。
当她还是萨拉公主时,乘坐四轮马车穿过街道,或是在玛丽埃特的陪伴下步行,她那明亮、热切的小脸以及别致的外套和帽子常常引得人们注目相看。
一个快乐、被精心照料的小女孩自然会吸引注意力。
衣衫褴褛、穿着破旧的孩子们并不足够罕见和漂亮,以至于让人们转身看他们并微笑。
这些日子里,没有人看萨拉一眼,当她匆忙地走在拥挤的人行道上时,似乎也没有人看见她。
