当长长的豪华轿车开始发出咕噜声时，埃德温娜感觉自己仿佛是伊丽莎白，正扬帆起航，与西班牙无敌舰队作战。她是伊丽莎白，该死！她所建造的一切无人能从她手中夺走。不是她的房子，不是她的酒店，不是她的优良马厩——尤其是她睡在奥林匹克规模的室外游泳池边的那匹年轻的纯种马。她认为，有些乐趣太诱人了，让人无法放弃。
(As the long limousine purred to life Edwina felt as if she were Elizabeth, setting sail to battle the Spanish Armada. She was Elizabeth, damn it! What she had built no one was going to take away from her. Not her house, not her hotels, not her fine stable of horses -- and most especially not the young thoroughbred she had left sleeping by the side of her Olympic-size outdoor pool. Some pleasures, she decided, were simply too enticing to give up.)
