Pitt Crawley was astonished to receive such a pleasant letter from his brother Rawdon Crawley. Jane was delighted, and expected that her husband Pitt would immediately divide his aunt’s inheritance (遗产) into two equal parts and send one to his brother.

The brothers did not meet for some time, however. Since the death of Miss Crawley, Pitt and his wife had been living down at Queen’s Crawley with his father Sir Pitt Crawley.

In fact, when the black-aged invitation to the funeral (葬礼) arrived in Curzon Street, the reactions (反应) were very far from sad.

“We don’t have to go, do we, Becky?” Rawdon said. “Pitt bores me to death, and a carriage there and back will cost too much.”

“Of course we’re going, you silly man!” cried Becky, jumping up in delight. “Your brother is now Sir Pitt, and a Member of Parliament. I want Lady Jane to present me at court next year, and I want Sir Pitt to get you a position of some importance — the Governor of the West Indies, or something like that. We must order our black clothes for the funeral at once.”

“Litter Rawdy comes too, of course,” said her husband.

“Of course not! Why pay for a third seat in the carriage?”

It was a great moment when the two Crawley brothers met again at last. The new Sir Pitt shook his brother warmly by the hand, while Lady Jane took both Becky’s hands, and kissed her.

This mark of kindness brought tears to Becky’s eyes, which was a rare event. When Lady Jane took Becky to her room, Becky at once began work on earning her sister-in-law’s approval.

“What I should like to do first,” Becky said, in a soft little voice, “is to see your dear little children.”

This request pleased Lady Jane very much. She led Becky away to meet her daughter and son, aged four and two, and in no time at all, she and Becky were close friends.

“You must be so sad,” Lady Jane said sympathetically, “to have left your little boy in London.”

“Dear, dear Rawdy!” sighed Becky. “I miss him so much.”

It was fortunate that her husband did not hear this remark. He was very fond of his son. He saw Rawdy every day at home, brought him presents and toys and played with him whenever he could. His mother took no notice of the boy at all. When he cried at night, it was a servant who came and took him to her room to comfort him.

Rawdon and Becky spent several days at Queen’s Crawley, and it was time well spent. Lady Jane thought Becky was delightful, and Sir Pitt also approved of her. She had shown interest in his ambitions (抱负) for government, and made admiring comments on his political ideas, which he had found very agreeable.

Becky was glad to escape from playing the part of a dutiful sister-in-law — listening with interest to dull conversations, inspecting the fruit garden, visiting sick villagers with soup and encouragement.

Lord Steyne was one of Becky’s admirers in London. High-society women still ignored her, but the men crowded to Mrs Crawley’s little house, Many of them lost money at the card-tables to Colonel Crawley. Not Lord Steyne, however, who was no fool. Becky amused Lord Steyne. He admired her charm and her intelligence and her cunning, which he saw was equal to his own, and her artful lies gave him much entertainment. He laughed a great deal at Becky’s account of her time at Queen’s Crawley.

“I should like to see you visiting the sick,” he said, “and being polite to those dull relations of your husband’s.”

Lord Steyne laughed again. “You were bored to tears by them all. Come now, admit it, Mrs Crawley!”

Becky gave a wicked little smile.

1.Why did Becky do lots of things against her will at Queen’s Crawley?

A.To show concern for her relatives. B.To bring out her talents.

C.To win Jane’s and Pitt’s favor. D.To kill the boring time.

2.From the underlined sentence, we can conclude that ________.

A.Becky told a lie, which would surprise Rawdon

B.Becky worried this remark would annoy Rawdon

C.Rawdon, like Becky, missed their son Rawdy

D.Rawdon took no notice of the remark

3.It can be inferred from the passage that ________.

A.Becky was a devoted mother B.Lady Jane was kind and generous

C.Lord Steyne was worth relying on D.Rawdon was as intelligent as Becky

4.Lord Steyne admired Becky for ________.
