_________(guilt).托尼給克萊爾做了一個(gè)新發(fā)型,還改善了她的妝容。但是,由于托尼被禁止陪同克萊爾去商店,所以他開了一張裝修房子所需材料的清單。克萊爾去市中心購(gòu)買了這些東西。她按預(yù)約去美甲后,走進(jìn)了一家高檔時(shí)裝店。女店員對(duì)她很粗魯,于是她打給托尼,告訴他說自己受到了不禮貌的對(duì)待。托尼同店員交談之后,店員立刻改變了態(tài)度?？巳R爾向托尼道謝,稱托尼為“親愛的”。當(dāng)她轉(zhuǎn)過身來,卻看到格拉迪絲?克拉芬正站在那里。被她發(fā)現(xiàn)了,這多么難堪啊,克萊爾心想。從她臉上的表情判斷,克萊爾知道格拉迪絲認(rèn)為自己出軌了。畢竟她知道克萊爾丈夫的名字是拉里,而不是托尼。雖然完全無事,克菜爾還是感到內(nèi)疚。WhenClairegothome,she__________(weep).GladyswaseverythingClairewishedtobe.
