Summary of Works

Dick Dev, a psychiatrist, came from an ordinary family. During World War I, he practiced medicine in the army and met Nicole, a psychopath. Nicole is a middle-class rich girl with beautiful appearance. Because of her abnormal relationship with her father, she became insane and was sent to Dick's clinic. Nicole soon fell in love with Dick, actively and enthusiastically pursued him, and Dick slowly developed feelings for Nicole and finally married her. After marriage, Dick gave up his medical research career and concentrated on nursing Nicole. However, Nicole's illness has been uncertain, and her contempt for Dick has become increasingly cold. Dick is exhausted and the relationship between the two people has cracked. One summer, Dick and his wife went to the Riviera for a holiday and met the young actress Rosemary. Rosemary fell in love with Dick at first sight, and Dick was moved by her, but because of family and moral constraints, Dick finally rejected her. Later, Nicole moved on and asked Dick for a divorce. Dick agreed to her request and went to a remote town to open a clinic alone.

Selected Works

Although Mr. and Mrs. Devers are really indifferent to artificial fashion, they are very keen and will not abandon the style and rhythm that accompany this fashion-Dick's party is full of excitement and * * *. There is an occasional breeze blowing in the fresh and cool night sky, which is an extremely valuable pause for those who are in the midst of noise and commotion.

The party that night went on with a funny comedy rhythm. Twelve people here, sixteen people over there, in groups of four, rode through Paris quickly. Everything is expected. People seem to be possessed, and they flock to accompany them as experts or even guides, spend a period of time, and then scatter and be replaced by others. At first glance, everyone is full of vitality, as if they are saving their energy for this moment all day. Although the scale of the party in Hollywood is huge, Rosemary appreciates this feast and its completely different style. Among the many entertainments, there is also the special car of the Persian king. It doesn't matter where Dick got the car or what kind of bribery he used. Rosemary only admits that it is one aspect of unbelievable things, and her life has been full of such things in the past two years. This car is made on a special chassis made in America. The wheels are silver, and so are the coolers. There are countless jewels embedded in the carriage. When the car drives to Tehran next week, these jewels may be replaced by real jewels by court jewelers. There is only one real seat at the back of the car, because the king must always ride alone, so they have to take turns to sit in it for a while and sit on the bottom of the car with mink.

But Dick is always everywhere. Rosemary assured the image of her mother, who was always with her, that she had never, never seen anyone as decent and cultured as Dick that night. She compared him with the two Englishmen, whom Abu solemnly called "Major Henjester and Mr. Hosa", and with the Scandinavian heir to the throne and the novelist who just returned from Russia. She also compared Dick with Abu, who was reckless and humorous. Compared with collis Clay, collis joined somewhere and stayed with them. Through this series of comparisons, she felt that no one could compare with Dick. The enthusiasm and selflessness of the whole activity made her feel relaxed and happy. He has the skills to mobilize different types of people, who have no initiative and rely on his care as an infantry battalion depends on supplies. He used this skill so skillfully that he kept his most secret self for everyone.

—— Later, she recalled her happiest contact. For the first time, she danced with Dick. At first, she felt that her beauty was sparking happiness and cheerfulness against his tall and strong body, generate. They danced as if they were living in an interesting dream. He took her around, suggesting to everyone in a subtle way that she was just like a dazzling bouquet of flowers, like a precious piece of cloth under the gaze of 25 pairs of eyes. Sometimes, instead of dancing, they just snuggle up to each other. At some time in the morning, when they were alone, her sweaty, powdered and youthful body clung to his side in a shabby and wrinkled dress, and they stood there hugging each other, while other people's hats and headscarves were behind them ...

Later, she smiled the most happily. At that time, there were six of them, the six most outstanding people, and the most memorable noble people that night. Standing in the dark front hall of Ritz Hotel, they told the doorman on duty at night that General Pershing was outside and he wanted some caviar and champagne. "He can't tolerate any delay. Everyone, every gun is at his command. " The waiter who was crazy with excitement appeared out of nowhere, and a table was placed in the hall. Abu came in on behalf of General Pershing, and then they stood up and sang the fragmented battle songs that they still remembered. It was only when the waiter expressed anger at such a spoil the fun that they suddenly found themselves ignored by people, so they set a trap for the whole waiter. The so-called trap is just a huge and strange device made up of all the furniture in the hall, and its function is almost the same as the strange machine in Goldberger's cartoon. Abu shook his head suspiciously at the device.

"Maybe it's better to steal a playing hacksaw, and-"

"That's enough," Mary interrupted him. "When Abu starts taking that thing out, it's time to go home." She confided to rosemary anxiously,

"I think Abu must go home. The train that he wants to take will leave at eleven o'clock. This is too important-I think the whole future prospect depends on whether he can catch the train, but whenever I quarrel with him, his attitude is always the opposite. "

"I'll try and see if I can convince him." Rosemary volunteered.

"Are you willing to persuade him?" Mary said doubtfully. "Maybe you can."

At this moment, Dick came to Rosemary and said,

"Nicole and I are going home. We thought maybe you would like to come with us."

because of fatigue, her face looks very pale in the illusory morning light. The two bloodless black spots on the cheeks are the places where the face is ruddy during the day.

"I can't go," she said. "I promised Mary North that I would stay with them-otherwise Abramovich wouldn't sleep. Maybe you can do something. "

"don't you know that you can't do anything for people?" He persuaded her to say. "If Roman Abramovich lived in a room with me in the university and was strict with him from the beginning, it wouldn't be like this. But now there is nothing anyone can do. "

"However, I have to stay here. He said he would go to bed as long as we went to Hall's house with him. " She said almost in a challenging tone.

he kissed her elbow quickly.

"Don't let Rosemary go home alone," Nicole stopped Mary when they left. "We should be responsible for her mother."

-Later, Rosemary, Mr. and Mrs. North, together with a girlish factory owner from Newark, sat in a market van with thousands of carrots, together with the ubiquitous collis and a man named George T. Hosplotek's new Indian in fat and conspicuous oilcloth pants. The soil on the carrot smells sweet in the dark, and Rosemary sits high above the goods, so she can hardly see the people in the long shadow between the infrequent street lamps. Their voices came from far away, as if they had completely different feelings from her, which seemed different and far away, because she only wanted to be with Dick and felt a little sorry for going with the North couple. She wants to be in the hotel, and he sleeps across from her room, or she can come here and wait for her with the warm and warm night.

"Don't come," she called to collis. "All the carrots will roll off.". She threw a carrot at Abu, who was sitting beside the driver like an old man ...

Later, she finally went home when it was bright, by this time, the pigeons had already flown out of the church of St. Sarpis. They all laughed in unison, because they knew it was still night, but the people in the street had the illusion that it was morning with morning glow all over the sky.

"I finally attended a frenzied party," Rosemary thought, "but it was no fun without Dick."

She felt a little misguided, so she was very sad, but then a moving object jumped into her eyes. It turned out to be a tall European horse chestnut, which was full of flowers. At this time, the tree had been bundled on a long truck and was being transported to the Elysee Garden Street for planting. At this time, the tree can only tremble and cry-like a noble person in adversity, he still has no confidence: he is noble. Rosemary looked at the big tree with deep affection and could not help comparing herself with it. Then she was elated and laughed. At this time, everything seems to suddenly look beautiful and gratifying.

At four o'clock the next afternoon, a taxi at the station stopped at the door and Dick got out of the car. Nicole lost her balance and stumbled down from the platform to meet him. As she was trying to control her feelings, she felt a little suffocated.

"where is our car?" She asked.

"I left it in Yael. I don't want to drive anymore. "

"From your letter, I thought you would be back in a few days."

"I was caught in a dry and cold northwest wind and caught in the rain."

"Did you have a good time?"

"Just as happy as all the people who run out of everything. I took Rosemary to avignon by car, and then put her on the train there. " They walked to the platform together. At the platform, Dick put down his handbag. "I didn't tell you this in my letter, because I was afraid that you would think."

"You are very considerate." At this time, Nicole felt more confident.

"I wonder if she has given anything-the only way is to see her alone."

"Does she have anything to offer?"

"Rosemary is immature," he replied. "That may be better. What have you been doing? "

she felt her face tremble like a rabbit.

"I went dancing last night-with Tommy Baban. We also went to-"

Dick was stunned and interrupted her.

"don't tell me about it. It doesn't matter what you do casually, but I don't want to know so much. "

"Then there is nothing to know."

"No,no." At this time, he seemed to have been away from home for a week and asked with concern, "How are the children?"

the phone in the room rang.

"If it's for me, just say I'm not at home," said Dick, and immediately turned and walked away. "I have something to do in the studio over there."

Nicole waited until his figure disappeared behind the well, then went into the room and picked up the phone.

"Nicole, how are you?"

"Dick is back."

he sighed.

"Come and see me here in Cannes," he suggested. "I have something to tell you."

"I can't go."

"tell me you love me." Nicole said nothing, but nodded into the microphone. He repeated, "Tell me you love me."

"Oh, of course I love you," she assured him. "However, there is nothing to think about at the moment."

"Of course," he said impatiently. "Dick saw that the relationship between you two was over-it was obvious that he had given way. What else does he expect you to do? "

"I don't know. I have to-"She stopped suddenly, instead of saying" when I can ask Dick ",she changed her tune and said," I'll write to you and call you tomorrow. "

she walked around the room triumphantly, content with what she had achieved. She is a troublemaker now, which makes her satisfied. She is no longer Huntress hunting in the corral. At this time, yesterday's situation reappeared in her mind with countless details-these details began to obscure the same moment in her memory, when her love for Dick was still fresh and intact. She began to disdain that kind of love, which made their love mixed with emotional elements from the beginning. With this speculative woman's memory, she hardly remembers her feelings in the month before she married Dick. At that time, they admired each other in this unknown corner of the world and were inseparable. Just like this, she lied to Tommy last night and swore to him that she had never loved him so completely, completely and unreservedly before ................................................................................................................................................. This idea arrogantly denies her life for ten years. Regret made her turn and walk towards Dick's temple-like studio.

When she approached quietly, she saw him staying at the back of the hut, sitting on a couch beside the cliff. She stared at him quietly for a while. He is thinking and living in his own world. His face trembled slightly, his brow wrinkled and loosened, his eyes narrowed and widened, his mouth opened and closed, and his hands kept twisting. She could see that the experience in his heart was spiraling out of his chest, moving from one stage to another. The experience belongs to him, not to her. On one occasion, he clenched his fist and leaned forward; On one occasion, there was a tortured and disheartened expression on his face-when this expression passed over his face, its traces still lingered in his eyes, and she felt sorry for him for almost the first time in her life-it was not easy for people who had suffered from mental illness to feel sorry for healthy people. Although Nicole often thanked Dick for bringing her back to the lost world, she always really thought that he had inexhaustible strength and never worked tirelessly. She forgot the troubles she sometimes caused Dick, and at such moments, she had forgotten all the troubles that drove her. Now, he no longer controls her-does he know that? All this is done by pressing
