尽管食人鱼尖牙利齿，凶悍无比，可是，天敌，如鳄鱼、河豚、水蛇等。而且，在千百年的进化过程中，许多水中动物都有了对付食人鱼的本领，比如有些鱼浑身长满了刺，使食人鱼不敢轻举妄动。也许正是由于这些原因，凶猛的食人鱼才没有在巴西肆意繁衍蔓延，保持了生态的平衡。51Testing软件测试网1m0U&WCJ

Tonight, as I prayed for the souls of those who died so terribly...yet so bravely...I admit that I also prayed for personal glory. Is that wrong to want to distinguish myself gloriously... in combat as my father did? Tristan and Alfred watch over me so carefully... I may never get the opportunity.51Testing软件测试网_ BS bM lf

Susannah: I try to guard against despair... but there are moments when it seems that all human decency is broken down. Alfred will recover from his wounds...but he and Tristan seem to have drifted apart, or worse. I cannot understand it. I miss you more than you can imagine. You are all that is clean and cool and pure. I close my eyes and think of you. I now regret that we listened to everyone and waited to marry. Even more, I regret that I left before we could be together... as we planned, my beloved. Please stay on at the ranch and wait for me. Don 't let Father worry. I know God's mercy will protect me... aided considerably by Tristan... who seems to be in France less to fight the Germans... than to act as my nursemaid. Be well, my love.
