(41)So the mourning being ready，and Sir Pitt Crawley warned of their arrival，Colonel Crawley and his wife took a couple of in the same Highflyer couch by which had traveled in the defunct ＇s company，on her first journey into the world some nine years before.How well she remembered the inn yard，and the ostler to whom she refused money，and the insinuating Cambridge lad who wrapped her in his coat on the journey！Rawdon took his outside，and would have liked to drive，but his grief forbade him.He sat by the coachman，and talked about horses and the road the whole way;and who kept the inns and who kept the inns，and who horsed the coach by which he had traveled so many a time，when he and Pitt were boys going to Eton.At Mud bury a carriage and a pair of horses received them，with a coachman in `It＇s the old drag，Rawdon，＇ said ，as they got in.`The worms have eaten the cloth a good deal-there's the stain which Sir Pitt 一ha！I see Dawson the ironmonger has his shutters up一which Sir Pitt made such a noise about.It was a bottle of cherry brandy he broke which we went to fetch for your aunt from Southampton.How time flies ，to be sure！that can't be Polly Talboys，that bouncing girl standing by her mother at the cottage there.I remember her a mangy little urchin picking weeds in the garden.＇

　　孝服已經做好了，

畢脫·克勞萊爵士那裡也已經去信通知了，於是克勞萊上校夫婦坐上海弗萊郵車，動身到鄉下去。大約九年之前，利蓓加還是個初出茅廬的女孩子，跟著那死了的從男爵一同下鄉，坐的就是這輛車子。客店前面的院子她還記得清清楚楚，還有那當槽兒的問她要錢她沒有給，還有劍橋大學的學生要想巴結她，在路上把大衣她裹在身上，這一切都如在目前。羅登坐在外面，很想幫著趕車，可是家裡新近遭了喪事， 當然不好胡來。他坐在車夫旁邊，一路閑談，說起馬兒，說起路上的情形，說起他和畢脫小時到伊頓上學的時候，誰家開著旅館，誰家養的馬租出來拉郵車等等。到了墨特白萊，就看見家裡的馬車等著他們，由兩匹馬拉著，趕車的穿著一身黑衣服。他們進車的時候，利蓓加說:“羅登，還是那輛舊車子，瞧這些座位上的布給蛀掉好多了。為著弄髒了這一塊，畢脫爵士——喝！鐵器鋪子的掌櫃道生也把百葉窗關上了;——為著弄髒了這一塊，畢脫爵士還大鬧了一場。記得那一回到莎烏撒潑頓去接你姑媽，他打破了一瓶櫻桃白蘭地酒，就給弄上這一大塊。唉，時間過得真快！那小屋子門口站在她母親旁邊跳跳蹦蹦的女孩兒難道是寶萊·托爾博愛不成?我記得她從前是個怪肮髒的小東西，老是在園裡撿野草。”　　以上摘自英國小說《名利場》

　　懷舊，懷舊的內容，是風景的落差對比，和名利無關。

　　人類社會，個體生命出生，有儀式。亡而離開這個人間了，也有儀式。

　　製服是一種區分的標志。喪服是製服之一。

　　一輛舊馬車，連接著過去和現在，從過去變化至現在的人再坐上這個馬車，那是在走進未來了。

　　由過去至現在而走進未來的人們，在書寫著未來。

　　人們聚在一起組成利益集團，家庭是男人和女人基於法律條文規定規范財產的並同時基於男人和女人互相需求及吸引的小型、甚至於最小的利益集團。

　　而名與利始終慣穿於其中。
