本期简介:
在维多利亚时代伦敦Pimlico区那些整齐的联排别墅里,中产阶级的体面生活像一层熨贴入微的丝缎,缎面之下,是粘稠的秘密和欲望。Adelaide Bartlett与她的丈夫Edwin Bartlett,就住在这样一栋红砖房子里。
他们的婚姻,从表面看,无可挑剔——他慷慨,她温顺;他精明能干,她美丽端庄。邻居们常常看见他们并肩散步,低声交谈,仿佛一对恩爱夫妻的典范。
直到某个寒夜,Pimlico的宁静被撕裂。医生们聚集在那栋房子里,警察的靴子踏过印花地毯...

Edwin Bartlett信件原文:
”Dear George, permit me to say that I feel great pleasure in thus addressing you for the first time, to me it is a privilege to think that I am allowed to feel towards you as a brother, and I hope our friendship may ripen as time goes on without anything to mar its future brightness. Would that I could find words to express my thankfulness to you for the very beautiful loving letter you sent Adelaide to-day; it would have done anyone good to see her overflowing with joy as the read it whilst walking along the street, and afterwards as she read it to me I felt my heart going out to you. I long to tell you how proud I felt at the thought I should soon be able to clasp the hand of the man who from his heart could pen such noble thoughts. Who can help loving you. I feel that I must say to you two words, 'Thank you,' and my desire to do so is my excuse for troubling you with this. Looking towards the future with joyfulness I am yours, affectionately, EDWIN."
亲爱的乔治:
请允许我说,第一次给你写信,我感到非常愉快。对我来说,能以兄弟之情看待你,是一种荣耀。我真诚地希望,随着时间的推移,我们的友谊能够愈加深厚,而不被任何事物所破坏其未来的光辉。
我多么希望自己能找到合适的言语,来表达我对你今天写给阿德莱德那封美丽而深情信件的感激之情。看到她在街上阅读时满面喜悦的模样,任何人都会被打动。稍后她将信读给我听时,我的心也随之向你敞开。我迫切地想告诉你,当想到不久后就能亲手握住那位能从内心写出如此高尚思想之人的手时,我感到无比自豪。谁能不爱你呢?
我觉得必须对你说两个字:“谢谢。”正是这个愿望促使我写下这封信,冒昧叨扰,还请见谅。
满怀喜悦地展望未来,我是你挚诚的
埃德温
