名人温斯顿丘吉尔致妻克莱门汀丘吉尔家书欣赏32D文惺网
My dearest one,32D文惺网
Alex and his aide-de-camp, who is the son ofLord Templemore, have left us after32D文惺网
staying twonights. IhopeAlex will come back again next weekend. He certainlyenjoyed himself32D文惺网
painting,and produced a very good picture considering it isthe first timethat he has32D文惺网
handled a brush for sixyears. Ihave now four pictures,three of themlarge,in an advanced32D文惺网
state, andI honestly thinkthey are better than any Ihave painted so far. IgaveAlex your32D文惺网
message and he was verypleased.32D文惺网
The painting has been a great pleasure to me,andI have really forgotten all my32D文惺网
vexations. It isa wonderful cure, because you really cannot thinkof anything else. This is32D文惺网
Saturday, and it is a weeksince we started. We have had newspapers up tillWednesday. Ihave32D文惺网
skimmed through them, and itcertainly seems we are going to have a pretty hardtime.32D文惺网
Icannot feel the Government are doing enough about demobilization, still less32D文惺网
aboutgettingour trade on the move again. Ido notknow how we are ever to pay our debts,32D文惺网
andit isevendifficult to see how we shall pay our way.Even if we were all united in a32D文惺网
Coalition, gatheringall the strength of the nation,our task might wellbe beyond our32D文惺网
powers. However, all this seems already quite remote from me on this lovely lake,where32D文惺网
nearlyall the days are full ofsunshine andthe weatherbright and cool.32D文惺网
Much better than the newspapers was your letter, with its amusing but rather macabre32D文惺网
account of the journey to Woodford.Iam longingto hear how our affairs are progressing. I do32D文惺网
hope you are not overtaxing yourself with all the business that there is to do. We shall32D文惺网
certainly notforget about Mary's birthday;but let me know what you have done about a32D文惺网
present.32D文惺网
Considering how pleasant and delightful the days have been,I cannot say they have32D文惺网
passed quickly. It seems quite a long time sinceI arrived,although every day has been full32D文惺网
of interest and occupation. Ihave converted my enormous bathroom into a studio with32D文惺网
makeshift easels,and there all this morning Alex andI tried to putthe finishing touches on32D文惺网
our pictures of yesterday.He has set his heart on buying a villa here on apromontory. Ihave32D文惺网
not seen it inside, but fromthe outside it looksthe most beautiful abode one can possibly32D文惺网
imagine, andI understand that insideit is even more romantic, going back to the fifteenth32D文惺网
century. He was a little startled when I pointed out to him that no one will be allowed32D文惺网
tobuy a foreign property across the exchange perhapsfor many years.32D文惺网
He beggedme to stay onhere as long as I like,butI think I shall come back the 18th or32D文惺网
19th.Iam doubtful whetherI shall stop in Paris.Iexpect in another ten or eleven daysI shall32D文惺网
be verykeen to get home again. Sarah has been a great joy, and gets on with everybody. She32D文惺网
andI both drive the speed-boats. They are a wonderful wayof getting about this lake, and32D文惺网
far safer than theawfulwindingroads aroundwhichtheItalians career with motorcars and32D文惺网
lorries at all sorts ofspeeds and angles.32D文惺网
Charles plays golfmost days. There is a verypretty link here, and he has fierce32D文惺网
contests withhimself or against Ogier. His devoted care ofme isdeeply touching.32D文惺网
You maybe amused to see the elaborate form in which your telegram, whichI rejoiced to32D文惺网
receivetoday,was sent.32D文惺网
His dictation over, Churchill continued in his own handwriting:32D文惺网
My Darling I think a great deal of you& lastnight when I was driving the speed-boat32D文惺网
back therecame into mymind your singing to me'In theGloaming’ years ago. What a sweet song32D文惺网
&tune&howbeautifully you sang it in all its pathos. My heart thrills and I love to feel32D文惺网
you near me in thought. Ifeelso tenderlytowards you mydarling&the more pleasant&agreeable32D文惺网
the scenes&days, the moreI wish you were here to share them& give me a kiss.32D文惺网
You seeI have nearly forgotten how to writewith a pen.Isn't awful my scribbles?32D文惺网
Miss Layton has heard from her'boy-friend’in S. Africa that she is to go out there32D文惺网
(notCanada) immediately ifpossible to marry him. Soshe is very happy. Yesterday the South32D文惺网
Africanofficers came from their hotel&took her out to'water-plane’ behind their speed32D文惺网
boat. She look edvery handsome whirling along in the water&madethree large circles in32D文惺网
front of the villa before shetumbled in. Sarah is writing you now. The DB isstarting.32D文惺网
Always your loving husband.32D文惺网
我最亲爱的:32D文惺网
亚历克斯和他的副官坦普莫尔勋爵的儿子,到我们这里来呆了两个晚上。我希望亚历克斯下周末再32D文惺网
来。他十分喜欢作画,而且果真画了一幅特棒的画,就他摆弄了六年的画笔而言,这也是他前所未有的32D文惺网
。现在我画画十分娴熟,画了四幅,其中三幅还是大幅的。老实讲,这几幅画是迄今为止我画的最棒的32D文惺网
了。我把你的情况告诉了亚历克斯,他听后很高兴。32D文惺网
作画可谓其乐无穷,我的一切烦恼也因此而冰释雪融。作画真不失为一个奇特的疗法,因为此时人32D文惺网
们不会再有其他杂念。今天星期六,我们出发至今已有一个星期了,可直到星期三我们才收到一些报纸32D文惺网
。我浏览了一下,预感到我们肯定将经历一段艰难的日子。我感到我们的政府并没有竭尽全力去裁军;32D文惺网
也没有重新大力开展我们的贸易。我不知道我们如何去偿还债务;更不知道如何可以不举债。即使我们32D文惺网
都组成一个联邦,集中起全国的所有力量,要想完成我们所面临的这个任务也是鞭长莫及。不过,这一32D文惺网
切似乎离我很遥远,在这片美丽的湖上,几乎每天我所感受到的唯有明媚的阳光和凉爽宜人的气候。32D文惺网
你的那封讲乌德福有趣且相当惊险之行的信比报纸可好看得多。我想知道我们的事情进展如何,真32D文惺网
希望你不要给自己负担过重。我们不会忘记玛丽的生日,不过,请告诉我你准备了什么礼物。32D文惺网
在此的日子虽说很轻松愉快,但仍感过得很慢。每天都很充实、有趣,但依然感到似乎来此已很久32D文惺网
很久。我把那间大浴室改成了一个带有临时画架的工作室,今天一上午亚历克斯和我都呆在那儿,努力32D文惺网
完成昨天的画。亚历克斯决心在这儿的一个海角上买一幢别墅。我没有看过里面的陈设,但就外表而言32D文惺网
,确是人们所能想象得出的最漂亮的住宅。我听说室内更为浪漫,充满了15世纪的情调。不过,当他得32D文惺网
知多年来不允许通过交易购买外国地产时,颇感惊讶。32D文惺网
亚历克斯说如果我愿意,可以继续待在这儿。但我想18或19号就回来。我还在犹豫途中是否在巴黎32D文惺网
停留,但我多么希望再过10天或11天之后能回到我渴望已久的家。莎拉给我们带来了极大的快乐,她和32D文惺网
大家相处得很好。我们俩一起驾着快艇驰骋于湖上,好不刺激,好不惊险,而且比起意大利职业赛车手32D文惺网
在糟糕的崎岖不平的小路上全方位、全速驾驶小汽车或卡车可是安全得多。32D文惺网
查尔斯大多数时间都在打高尔夫球。这里有一个很漂亮的高尔夫球场。有时他自己打,有时与奥吉32D文惺网
尔对打。他对我悉心的照料使我深受感动。32D文惺网
很高兴今天收到了你的电报,想必你对精心策划的电文格式也感到好笑吧。32D文惺网
亲爱的,我太想你了。昨晚我驾着快艇返航时,耳边便萦绕着你多年以前对我唱的一首歌“在黄昏32D文惺网
”。多么动听的歌!多么优美的曲调!你唱得又是那般地哀婉动人!我的心在激烈震颤,炽热的爱使我32D文惺网
感到你就在我身边,是那样的温柔!亲爱的,这里的风光愈是赏心悦目,我就愈强烈地渴望着你能来到32D文惺网
我身边与我分享这一切。请来吻吻我吧!32D文惺网
瞧,我几乎不知道如何拿笔了,胡画一通,一定糟糕透顶。32D文惺网
雷顿小姐收到了她“男朋友”从南非的来信。如有可能,她会立即去南非(不是加拿大)与他成婚32D文惺网
,因此她高兴极了。昨天几个南非官员从旅馆来,把她带到一架“水上飞机”上,那玩意就停在快艇的32D文惺网
后面。她在水上旋转着,在别墅的前方转了三个大圈才跌落下来,真是棒极了!萨拉现在也在给你写信32D文惺网
。晚餐铃响了。32D文惺网
永远爱你的丈夫32D文惺网
温32D文惺网
