Chapter 5: Where Did Ruth Go?

Although Wendy was just a faint sentence, it made Monet, who was originally drinking and drinking, suddenly feel cold, yes, he couldn't even save people at that time, so how did this dog survive? Although the dog does swim, he will not survive in such cold waters unless he is a fur seal, which means that the dog occupies the position of at least one lifeboat.

But, but that's outrageous, isn't it? In that life-and-death situation, instead of saving people, save dogs? It's so inhuman!

But Monet was still a little puzzled, so he asked, "But don't I remember that the dogs are all kept in the kennel in the F cabin?" Was there still time to go to the kennel to find her dog? (Many of the people on board had pets, but they were all in the F cabin.) οΌ‰

Wendy snorted coldly, "How could Lady Tommy's dog be kept in a kennel?" Then he asked bitterly: "But why can her dog get on the lifeboat, but my brother can't, is my brother's life worse than a dog?" ”

Although Monet was also very resentful of this, he knew that there was nothing to be done now, so he had to comfort: "Okay, Wendy, don't be sad, God will definitely punish these sinners!" ”

Early the next morning, Monet came to the New York Post on time for an interview, but what he didn't expect was that after the interview, the editor-in-chief Russell said to him again: "Mr. Monet, please wait a minute, there is a Mr. Carr who wants to see you?" ”

Monet now knows only one "Carl", that is, Ruth's fiancΓ©, the steel tycoon, so he asked: "Is it ...... who is also on the Titanic"

Before Monet could finish speaking, Russell nodded and replied, "That's right, it's Mr. Karl!" ”

"But I don't know him, why is he looking for me?" Monet asked puzzled.

"Eh, Mr. Karl said that there is something very important I want to ask you, a few words are enough, and I can't delay you for a few minutes!" Russell persuaded.

Because he had to point to Russell to make money later, Monet had to nod helplessly and agree.

So two minutes later, he saw the towering and domineering Carl, and he arrogantly asked Monet, "Did Ruth go to you?" ”

Monet didn't react for a moment, and asked rhetorically, "Miss Ruth?" What is she looking for me? ”

"In New York, she only has one friend like you, so who won't she look for you after she runs away from home?"

Monet retorted: "But the problem is that Miss Ruth really didn't come to me, and I only have a relationship with her, so I'm not a friend, right?" ”

"If you're not friends, then why do you know so much about her, don't you tell me that this novel is all your imagination?" Karl asked.

To be honest, this question is really not easy to answer, so Monet had to push it on the dead man: "These are all things that Jack told me, and you know that we are both painters, so we can talk very well, and then he told me all the stories about her and Ruth, and I was very moved, so I wrote it down." ”

"Even the end when he lay on the ice floe was told to you?" Carl asked.

"Well, that's what Ruth told me, and you know she and I were rescued in the same lifeboat, and she told me!" Monet continued his nonsense.

"You really haven't seen Ruth since you got off the boat?" Karl asked, staring at Monet.

Monet reluctantly stretched out his hands and replied: "Of course I haven't seen it, Mr. Karl, think about it, if Ruth has come to me after escaping from you, then how can I come here to contribute, isn't this obviously making you suspect me?" Do you think I'm so stupid? ”

Karl was right when he thought about it, so he changed his words and said: "Mr. Monet, if Ruth contacts you next, please let me know as soon as possible, and I will definitely thank you heavily!" ”

Although Monet wanted to go back directly, he knew that he had nothing in New York at the moment, and Carl wanted to clean up his words like playing, so he nodded lightly: "I know." ”

Monet waved his hand unmoved: "Thank you is not necessary, because I think there should be no such opportunity, as I said just now, in fact, I am not familiar with Miss Ruth." ”

Originally, Karl's inquiry had already made Monet feel very bad, but what he didn't expect was that not long after leaving the newspaper office, Ruth's mother, Mrs. Booker, stopped him on the side of the road, but she was not as domineering as Carl, but changed her routine and cried to him: "Mr. Monet, may I ask Ruth really didn't go to you?" I beg you to tell me the truth, for if you can't find Ruth, then Carl will drive me away, and I don't know anyone in New York as an old woman, and I'll starve to death if there's no one to take care of me!" ”

"Madam, I really didn't lie to you, Miss Ruth, she really didn't come to me!" Monet replied very depressedly.

But even Monet's repeated assurances, Mrs. Bookett still didn't believe it, and still talked to him about the miserable sale, which made Monet really annoyed, and finally found an opportunity to leave quickly.

After returning home, Monet told Wendy about it, and Wendy sighed: "God, I didn't expect Ruth to be really willing to give up such a good condition as Mr. Karl!" ”

"Everyone has their own pursuits!" Monet replied casually, and then turned to Wendy and asked, "If you were to be replaced, you would definitely not run away, would you?" ”

Wendy replied as a matter of course: "Of course, why give up such a good life and go to hard work?" ”

Although Wendy's answer made Monet a little uncomfortable, after all, it was Wendy's choice and she couldn't control it, so she changed the subject and said: "I feel that Carl shouldn't fully believe my words, he will still send someone to keep an eye on me, so you must be careful when you go out recently, if you really meet Ruth, don't let Carl's people find out." ”

"Don't worry, I know!"

PS: This story is based on a prototype, the textile tycoon at the time, Elizabeth Jane Anne Rothschild's wife Elizabeth Jane Anne Rothschild claimed that if her dog was not with her, she refused to leave the lifeboat, and in the end the crew really had no choice but to take the dog out for her, as for why, look at the surname Rothschild, everyone should be able to guess some, right?

PS2: Let's talk about the update, if there is a manuscript, there will be a chapter at 8 o'clock every day, and a chapter at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, if there is no manuscript, then when will it be finished and when it will be sent.
