The Undomestic Goddess 精彩片段:

第十八章

关键的是不能让这个律师认出我。所以在接下来的下午,我准备好房间以后就跑回自己房间,用卡子把头发夹到头上,让大束的头发披散下来遮住脸。然后我又在梳妆台抽屉里找到一副旧的看起来像是90年代的太阳眼睛。这么打扮后,尽管做的不算最好-但是我看起来已经一点也不像以前的我了。

我下楼时纳撒尼尔正气冲冲地从厨房出来。他看见我后惊讶地停住脚步。

“萨曼塔…你做什么了?”

“哦,我的头发?”我随意地摸摸。“我就是想换个发式。”

“那是你的太阳眼镜么?”

“我有点头痛。有什么事么?”我匆忙转换话题。

“Irish.”他咆哮。“她一直在给我讲噪声的事。我不能除草。我不能没有事先说明就修剪树木。我要踮起脚走沙砾路么。踮脚。”

“为什么?”

“因为那个该死的客人。我们都要围着她跳舞。一个讨厌的律师。”他不相信地摇头。“她的工作重要?我的工作才重要!”

“她来了!”崔施的尖叫声忽然从厨房传出,接着她急匆匆地走出来。“我们都准备好了么?”她打开前门,我听到车道上车门打开的声音。

来了。我又多拉了几缕头发遮住脸,双手握拳放在两侧。如果我认识这个女人,我就要低头、小声说话,扮演我的角色。我是管家。除了管家我其他什么都没有做过。

“梅利莎,你在这可以清净很多,”我听见崔施说。“我交代员工对你特殊照顾了…”

我跟纳撒尼尔交换一个眼色,他转转眼睛。

“我们到了!我来把门打开…”

作品简介:

Book Description

The Undomestic Goddess is a genuinely funny, sweet book. Kinsella is a comic whiz who consistently delivers what her readers crave: a good read with lots of laughs.

 ——Miami Herald

Workaholic attorney Samantha Sweeting has just done the unthinkable. She's made a mistake so huge, it'll wreck any chance of a partnership.

Going into utter meltdown, she walks out of her London office, gets on a train, and ends up in the middle of nowhere. Asking for directions at a big, beautiful house, she's mistaken for an interviewee and finds herself being offered a job as housekeeper.

Her employers have no idea they've hired a lawyer - and Samantha has no idea how to work the oven. She can't sew on a button, bake a patato, or get the #@%# ironing board to open. How she takes a deep breath and begins to cope - and finds love - is a story as delicious as the bread she learns to bake.

But will her old life ever catch up with her? And if it does...will she want it back?

A light-as-Tofutti novel you'll devour.

——Glamour
