Hint:
Miss ElizabethIt was no consolation to Miss Elizabeth that she was losing weight. The constituents of her company were very conservative and they had constricted her to a consistent and constrained diet. She had considerable power herself, but they had consolidated together in order to keep her weight at a constant level of decline so as to best increase sales of the clothing line they sold. Her thinness was becoming conspicuous, however, and television consultants were beginning to tell her to consume more food, for God' s sake! They were forming a sort of loose consortium of considerate people willing to console her and give her positive consultation. This constituted a mutiny to her company, however, and they were planning to lock her in a conservatory to control her before any one else could.体重正在减轻对伊丽莎白小姐而言并非是一种安慰。公司成员是些非常保守的家伙，他们约束她，让她坚持强制节食。她自己当然有相当大的权力，可是为了最大限度地增加他们公司的服装销售，他们却联合起来让她的体重保持不断下降的水平。 然而，她的消瘦变得很引人注目，电视顾问开始要她看在上帝的份上多消费点儿食物!他们正在建立一个松散的关心他人者协会，他们愿意安慰伊丽莎白并且给她一些积极的咨询。但这对她的公司构成了反叛，所以他们打算在别人之前把她关进一家音乐学院控制起来。
