And Grace could stop at Ma Ginger's window quite content:ascertain that only two of the little china figurines remained, and were thus the only two she had not yet been able to save up enough to purchase.

2.Tom向Grace表白心意。
Tom:I've got so much going on in my head...
我的脑袋里有太多的念头...
Grace:That must be very tiring for you!
那你一定很累!
Tom:I think I've done a pretty good analysis of the folks in this town and I think I understand them in a meaningful way.

你想说些什么?

Tom:No.You should probably get back anyway.
没有,不管怎么样你也许该回去了。
I will see you at the wedding. Next celebration..
我们在婚礼上...庆祝活动上见。
【评】庆祝活动之前，Tom向Grace表白了心意。初看之时，觉得甚是感动和欣喜，就连他把“庆祝活动”误说成了“婚礼”都觉得很甜，两个心灵相通的人终究还是在一起了。
再看时，带着已知的结局，仿佛更能理解这一段了。在Tom述说心意时，他始终带着一颗很纠结、不确定的心在述说着，或许就像他自己一开始说的，他并不太确定这是不是爱。
在Grace的追问之下，他得出结论：是的。然而当Tom得知Grace也同样也喜欢他时，他所表现出的并不是欣喜，而是一种很奇怪的情绪，像是陷入了更深的忧虑，他又一次的逃避、畏缩了。这种犹豫，可能就预示着后来的背叛吧。

（未完待续…）
这一次，又将作出怎样的抉择呢？
