戈??爾??握??住??她??的??腰??枝??，??一??腳??踢??開??小??木??屋??的??門??，??在??床??上??用??比??之??前??耗??時??更??久??的??規??律??抽??插??，??非??常??清??楚??地??表??達??了??牠??的??思??念??。

        ??「??我??現??在??知????了??。??」??愛??麗??絲??在??數??次??高????後??，??全????痠??軟??地??對??泰??戈??爾??說??。

        ??「??妳??過??得??好??嗎??？??」??泰??戈??爾??眼??中??盡??是??柔??情??。

        ??「??嗯??，??你??呢??？??」

        ??「??非??常??非??常??的??忙??，??但??奇??怪??的??是??，??這??麼??忙??我??還??是??不??停??地??想??著??愛??麗??絲??小??姐??。??」??老??虎??的??臉??上??真??的??有??一??絲??困??惑??。

        ??「??愛??情??是??一??種??熱??病??。??」??她??喃??喃??地??說??。

        ??泰??戈??爾??這??次??也??照??樣??待??了??三??天??，??給??了??她??美??妙??無??比??的????愛??，??還??帶??著??她??到??鎮??上??的??餐??廳??吃??飯??。

        ??「??這??家??餐??廳??的??主??廚??是??個??老??媽??媽??，??牠??手??藝??非??常??好??。??」??泰??戈??爾??對??她??說??。

        ??主??廚??是??隻??胖??胖??的??袋??鼠??女??士??，??她??還??從??廚??房??出??來??跟??泰??戈??爾??致??意??，??招??待??牠??們??美??味??的??蘋??果??派??，????為??飯??後??甜??點??。

        ??「??如??果??不??是??因??為??泰??戈??爾??先??生??，??我??早??就??不??在??這??世??上??了??。??」??袋??鼠??女??士??對??她??說??。

        ??原??來??，??袋??鼠??女??士??曾??經??發??生??過??痛??苦??的??事??，??有??一??年??牠??因??為??太??過??疲??倦??而??趴??睡??，??壓??死??了??腹??袋??中??的??袋??鼠??寶??寶??，??因??此??崩??潰??。??泰??戈??爾??正??好??上??門??傳??教??，??引??導??牠??認??識??了??神??，??讓??牠??知????牠??自??己??並??沒??有??罪??，??讓??牠??在??極??度??的??自??責??中??學??會??寬??恕??自??己??。

        ??「??神??眷??顧??每??個??生??命??，??不??會??因??為??我??們??犯??錯??就??不??愛??我??們??。??」??袋??鼠??女??士????上??有??種??慈??愛??的??光??輝??，??讓??愛??麗??絲??想??起??自??己??的??媽??媽??。

        ??好??陣??子??沒??回??真??境??，??或??許??該??找??個??時??間??回??去??探??望??父??母??。??愛??麗??絲??想??。

        ??「??泰??戈??爾??先??生??可??是??個??好??對??象??呢??。??」??袋??鼠??女??士??對??愛??麗??絲??眨??眨??眼??，??轉????走??進??廚??房??。
