Piccadilly Jim

The residence of Mr. Peter Pett, the well-known financier, on Riverside Drive is one of the leading eyesores of that breezy and expensive boulevard.

彼得·佩特先生，这位知名金融家的住所，位于河滨大道上，是那条时髦昂贵的大街上的主要丑陋建筑之一。

It was probably for this reason that Mrs. Pett insisted on her husband buying it, for she was a woman who liked to be noticed.

可能就是因为这个原因，佩特夫人坚持让她的丈夫买下这所房子，因为她是一个喜欢被人注意的女人。
