Mrs. Flinders decided to have her portrait painted. She told the artist, "Paint me with diamond earrings, a diamond necklace, emerald bracelets and a ruby pendant."
"But you're not wearing any of those things."
"I know," said Mrs. Flinders." It's in case I should die before my husband. I'm sure he'd remarry right away, and I want her to go nuts looking for the jewelry."
福林德斯夫人決定讓人給她畫肖像。她告訴那位肖像畫家說：“畫我帶着鑽石耳環、鑽石項鍊、祖母綠手鐲，還有紅寶石垂飾。”
“但你現在沒帶這其中的任何一樣飾品。”
“我知道。”福林德斯夫人說，“萬一我先我丈夫死去，我肯定他會立刻再婚。我要讓那個女人爲尋找這些珠寶而發瘋。”
