Comprehensive experience of time and space

Mr. Brown's gold mine can produce 135 pounds of gold per day, making him one of the most successful miners in the United States. Molly rose into the upper class because her husband owned a mine. However, many passengers in the first-class cabin, including Ruth's mother, Rufus, looked down on Molly and called her a "new money person." I'm polite, but deep down I think she is a nouveau riche.

Molly is an active advocate of feminism, promoting democracy, education and saving women. She usually travels around with her friends, but this time because her grandson was sick, she just happened to book a ticket back to New York that day and boarded the Titanic's first class cabin. But she obviously doesn't understand enough. With her current status, only by getting along well with the upper-class nobles can she better realize her ideals.

The dinner was interrupted several times, and although everyone wisely changed the topic, the relaxed and happy atmosphere before was no longer there, and it became a bit embarrassing. No one had any intention to continue. After being polite for a while, they left in twos and threes. Although it was a dinner party, it was only around four in the afternoon, and they usually had two meals on board.

Carl took Leger for a walk on the deck. He saw Ruth standing on the side of the ship from a distance, looking into the distance with a miserable expression. He turned his head and looked around, and sure enough he saw Jack not far away. Jack was sitting on a bench. He was holding a painting book in his hand and looking at Ruth with a look of obsession. It was an artist's persistence and fascination with beauty. Carl believed that Jack was really admiring a picture of beauty at this time, an appreciation that transcended desire and personal feelings.

However, in the end, Jack pursues love without hesitation and makes love with Ruth in public. He even crosses the last boundary between men and women and staged a car crash or something, which is really a bit too much. No matter how high the realm of art is, it cannot be divorced from reality. A high-profile love affair with a woman who has a fiancé without any guilt, eh, Karl said he couldn't understand it.

"Master, do you want me to inform Miss Ruth? There will be an important banquet later."

Lighting a cigarette, Karl showed a sarcastic smile, "No need, I believe her mother will bring her there on time."

Leger followed Karl's gaze and saw Rouf walking towards Ruth with a frown on his face. Then the two seemed to have an argument, but in the end, Ruth lowered her head and followed Rouf away.

As night fell, celebrities and dignitaries gathered in the spacious banquet hall of the first class cabin. There were many donations and crowds of people. People in the hall greeted each other and were polite. These are essential entertainment in social situations. Alcohol is like a stimulant, constantly stimulating people's nerve endings. As a result, the body under the evening dress warmed up, the language became bold and bold, and the behavior became frivolous.

Ruth sat alone at the table, her indifferent expression in sharp contrast to the lively banquet. The noisy crowd can only add to her boredom. Here, she cannot find the truth and the value of life. She felt that this life of a walking dead had consumed her youth and extinguished the flame of her life. As soon as she entered this hall, she felt suffocated, terrified and hopeless.

Finally, she couldn't stand the mental torture anymore, so she stood up and ran out.

In the aisle of the first-class cabin, a rush of footsteps broke the silence here. People were surprised to see a young lady in a dress rushing towards the stern of the ship like crazy. She completely ignored the etiquette and grace of the upper class, knocked away the oncoming pedestrians, and ran forward as fast as possible.

Many people noticed her in the banquet hall. Rouf stiffened her face in embarrassment. Karl shook the champagne in his hand expressionlessly and said, "I think I need to reconsider the engagement, Mrs. Cabot." ”

Everyone around her showed a look of understanding. No big family would accept such an uneducated fiancée who was often rude and embarrassing. Rufu's expression even changed, but on this occasion, she couldn't say anything more, otherwise, both she and Ruth would become a joke in the upper class society. I just made up my mind to educate Ruth well when I go back and make Ruth apologize to Karl.

Everyone here is considering whether to alienate Ruth and her daughter in the future, but over there, Ruth and Jack still staged a heroic drama of saving the beauty. Because of Ruth's willfulness, she almost lost her footing and fell into the sea. Jack grabbed her hand at the critical moment and pulled her back hard, and they both fell on the deck.

Several crew members not far away heard someone calling for help on the stern of the ship and quickly ran in their direction. When they arrived, they saw Ruth lying on her back on the deck, breathing heavily, and Jack, disheveled. Kneel beside her.

The three of them looked at each other, obviously thinking about the possible crime, and immediately realized that this was the crime scene. "Stay back, don't move!" a crew member ordered Jack sternly.

Jack stood up, feeling surprised at the crew's misunderstanding, but thinking there was no need to explain. He casually put his hands into his trouser pockets and followed the crew to the corner. At this time, the guards had arrived. After listening to the crew's description, they stood next to Jack and took custody of him.

When this happened, the guard immediately notified Leger. Karl, Rufu and some busybodies came to the scene together. Ruth had just almost died and had not recovered yet. All her clothes were soaked, including her hair, and she was in an extremely embarrassing state. Karl stood aside and had no intention of coming forward to comfort her. Ruf angrily asked the maid to get a blanket and put it on Ruth. She turned to Jack and said angrily: "You dirty bum, how dare you molest me?" Daughter! The guards will arrest him and take him away!”

"Wait! Mom, what are you talking about?" Ruth raised her head and looked around. Then she realized that everyone had misunderstood Jack. She calmed down and said, "Mom, please stop, there was an accident just now. …”

"Accident?" Rouf frowned and looked at Ruth in confusion.

"It was an accident. It was really silly. I was leaning on the railing too far forward and suddenly lost my footing because I wanted to go see..." Ruth was speechless for a moment and didn't know what to say about what she wanted to see. Of course she wouldn't confess. The suicidal thoughts I had had and the dangers I had incurred as a result.

"Propeller?" A crew member helped Ruth out of trouble in a smart way. In fact, Ruth didn't know what a propeller was.

"Yes, I was looking at the propeller. Suddenly I lost my footing and almost fell into the sea. Fortunately, Mr. Dawson saved me. He almost fell into the sea himself."

It’s really a statement full of mistakes. There are elites from the business and political circles present. How can you not see that Ruth is lying? Even Lu Fu felt that her daughter's excuse was too forced. Because Karl had previously expressed that he would reconsider the engagement, so except for the crew member who was confused about the situation, no one came out to smooth things over and rescue Ruth. After all, the situation at the scene seemed too easy to associate with bad things. .

Carl glanced at Leger, who stepped forward and asked Jack: "Sir, Miss Cabot suddenly lost her footing, and you still had time to take off your coat and loosen your shoelaces? Can you tell me why?"

As soon as these words came out, some people who originally thought Jack was a hero who saved people also became suspicious.

Jack lowered his head and saw the loose shoelaces. Thinking that Ruth didn't want to reveal what had just happened, he shrugged and said nothing. When Ruth heard Leger's questioning question, she shouted irritably: "I already said it was an accident, what do you mean by asking like that?"

Karl waved his hand for Leger to step back, and said slowly: "I think my butler just wants to find out the truth of the matter. After all, as the future young lady of the Hockley family, you represent the face of the Hockley family."

Ruth raised her head and wanted to retort, but Karl didn't give her a chance to speak, "Oh, but you don't have to worry about the Hockley family anymore in the future. I think you won't like the rule-based life of the Hockley family. "Am I right, Miss Cabot?"

Rufu was shocked when he heard this and blurted out: "Karl, getting engaged is a serious matter..."

Karl interrupted her and said: "Mrs. Cabot, it is precisely because engagement is a very serious matter that I cannot tolerate your daughter's repeated rude behavior. It is obvious that she does not want to join the Huo family. The Klee family. Please don’t mention the engagement again in the future. I will personally apologize to the friends who received the invitation when I get ashore.”

When Jack saw that the girl he liked had his engagement broken off, he finally showed an angry expression and said, "Sir, your fiancée just almost lost her precious life. How could you treat her so indifferently?"

Karl smiled at him and said: "Sir, I don't think you understand the situation between me and Miss Cabot. It is not polite to interrupt rashly. And I don't see Miss Cabot at all." What a sad performance.”

After hearing this, everyone looked at Ruth in unison. Although she was a little stunned, the joy and relief in her eyes were so obvious. Thinking of her previous behavior, they felt that she might have lost her mind. Everyone in the first class cabin had heard about the huge debt owed by Cabot. Now that she has lost Carl's support, Ruth is still happy. I am afraid that mother and daughter will have to go to work to pay off the debt soon.

Molly came relatively late. After figuring out what happened, even though she knew Ruth had lied, she still couldn't help but said to Carl: "Mr. Hockley, as a gentleman, should you let Cabot go first?" Miss, are you going to change your clothes?"

Karl glanced at her and smiled: "Mrs. Brown, my engagement with Miss Cabot has been cancelled. From now on, I will no longer be responsible for Miss Cabot's life. It is up to her to decide whether she needs to change clothes. I'm sorry. ”

The upper class attaches great importance to face and reputation, but after these two days of getting along, no one will think that Carl is heartless. If these things happen after marriage, the reputation of the Hockley family will be greatly damaged. Moreover, their engagement ceremony was held a week later. Although invitations were sent, the relationship was not publicly confirmed on a formal occasion. No one paid much attention to Ruth's status. Since Karl said that the engagement was cancelled, they naturally ignored it. That mother and daughter.

Carl ignored the matter, and the person involved, Ruth, insisted that Jack saved her. The guards looked at each other and had to give up.

The crowd dispersed. Ruth glanced at Rouf cautiously, and then smiled reassuringly at Jack, who had worried eyes. The two seemed to be in perfect harmony.

With a sound of "Pa!", Ruth covered her face and looked at her mother in disbelief. Jack exclaimed and ran to Ruth, supported her and anxiously touched her face to check.

Lu Fu felt that her hands and feet were cold. Although slapping was extremely rude and beneath her status, she really didn't care about that much now. The rich son-in-law was gone, and the family's huge debt instantly overwhelmed her, but her daughter was still flirting with a poor man. Ruf wanted to pry open Ruth's head to see what she was thinking. !
