玛丽从未出席董事会会议。狡猾的伊丽莎白索性安排她表弟的网球教练“耽误”了她一两个小时。这个男人显然是一位出色的运动员,尽管玛丽后来睡着了,这完全是玛丽的错。当天下午,伊丽莎白以六比一的投票结果控制了公司,而玛丽则心满意足地睡着了。这个傻女孩永远不知道是什么击中了她。
(Mary never made it to the board meeting. Cunning Elizabeth simply arranged for her cousin's tennis instructor to "delay" her for an hour or two. The man was evidently a superb athlete, though it was entirely Mary's fault that she fell asleep afterwards. Elizabeth took control of the company that very afternoon, by a vote of six to one, while a sated Mary slept. And the silly girl never knew what hit her.)
