Mr . lorry knew miss pross to be very jealous , but he also knew her by this time to be , beneath the surface of her eccentricity , one of those unselfish creatures - found only among women - who will , for pure love and admiration , bind themselves willing slaves , to youth when they have lost it , to beauty that they never had , to accomplishments that they were never fortunate enough to gain , to bright hopes that never shone upon their own sombre lives 可是他现在也明白，她在她那古怪的外表之下却是一个毫不自私自利的女人-只有女人才可能这样-这种人纯粹为了爱与崇拜心甘情愿去做奴隶，为她们已失去而别人还具有的青春服务，为她们所不曾有过的美丽服务，为命运没有赋予她们的成功服务，为从未照临过她们那阴暗生活的光明希望服务。
