爱德华·博克《爱德华·博克自传》· The Americanization of Edward Bok · 领导
Years afterward when Edward was cruising up the Hudson with a yachting party one Saturday afternoon, the sight of Jay Gould's mansion, upon approaching Irvington, awakened the desire of the women on board to see his wonderful orchid collection. Edward explained his previous association with the financier and offered to recall himself to him, if the party wished to take the chance of recognition. A note was written to Mr. Gould, and sent ashore, and the answer came back that they were welcome to visit the orchid houses. Jay Gould, in person, received the party, and, placing it under the personal conduct of his gardener, turned to Edward and, indicating a bench, said: "Come and sit down here with me."

白话
多年后，爱德华乘游艇在哈德逊河上，看到古尔德的豪宅，女伴们想参观他著名的兰花收藏。爱德华说明自己曾与这位金融家共事，并写信询问能否拜访，古尔德回复欢迎。他亲自接待，让园丁带大家参观，却把爱德华叫到长凳边坐下。这个细节显示，古尔德对爱德华仍有私人兴趣，想单独聊聊。它也提醒我们：职场关系可以转化为长期人脉，但重逢时的对话未必只是寒暄，可能带着对方未放下的评判或期待。
