"My aunt will come down very soon, Mr. Nuttel," said a very calm young lady of fifteen years of age, "meanwhile you must try to bear my company."
Framton Nuttel tried to say something which would please the niece now present, without annoying the aunt that was about to come. He was supposed to be going through a cure for his nerves; but he doubted whether these polite visits to a number of total strangers would help much. "I know how it will be," his sister had said when he was preparing to go away into the country; "you will lose yourself down there and not speak to a living soul, and your nerves will be worse than ever through loneliness. I shall just give you letters of introduction to all the people I know there. Some of them, as far as I can remember, are quite nice."
Framton wondered whether Mrs. Sappleton, the lady to whom he was bringing one of the letters of introduction, was one of the nice ones.
"Do you know many of the people around here?" asked the niece, when she thought that they had sat long enough in silence.
"Hardly one," said Framton. "My sister was staying here, you know, about four years ago, and she gave me letters of introduction to some of the people here."
He made the last statement in a sad voice.
"Then you know almost nothing about my aunt7" continued the calm young lady.
"Only her name and address," Framton admitted. He was wondering whether Mrs. Sappleton was married; perhaps she had been married and her husband was dead. But there was something of a man in the room.
"Her great sorrow came just three years ago," said the child. "That would be after your sister’s time."
"Her sorrow?" asked Framton. Somehow, in this restful country place, sorrows seemed far away.
"You may wonder why we keep that window wide open on an October afternoon," said the niece, pointing to a long window that opened like a door on to the grass outside.
"It is quite warm for the time of the year," said Framton, "but has that window got anything to do with your aunt’s sorrow?"
"Out through that window, exactly three years ago, her husband and her two young brothers went off for their day’s shooting. They never came back. In crossing the country to the shooting-ground, they went all there swallowed in a bog. It had been that terrible wet summer, you know, and places that were safe in other years became suddenly dangerous. Their bodies were never found. That was the worst part of it." Here the child’s voice lost its calm sound and became almost human.
What did the young lady mean by "bear my company" in Paragraph 1 ?
选项
A、Stay with my friends.
B、Stay with me.
C、Talk with me about my business.
D、Have a look around my business.
答案
B
解析
英语词组bear one’s company是“与某人相伴”的意思,从整篇文章来看只有Framton和那位年轻的女士在一起谈话,因此选B。
