When she was seven years old, Bayo Randle’s great-great-grandmother Sarah Forbes Bonetta was presented to Queen Victoria at Windsor Castle as a “diplomatic gift” from an African king.(她七岁那年，巴约·兰德尔的玄祖母萨拉·福布斯·博内塔在温莎城堡被作为一位非洲国王送上的“外交礼物”呈献给维多利亚女王。)

Victoria would go on to pay for Bonetta’s education, approve her marriage to one of west Africa’s wealthiest men, and become godmother to her eldest daughter.(此后，维多利亚出资供博内塔读书，批准她嫁给西非最富有的男人之一，还做了她长女的教母。)

But while Victoria took a genuine interest in Bonetta’s welfare(福祉；福利), making the orphan a royal protege(受庇护者；门生) and meeting with her over the years, their relationship was part of a bigger agenda(更大图谋的一部分).
然而，尽管维多利亚确实关心博内塔的福祉，把这个孤儿收为王室庇护对象，多年来也一直与她见面，但两人的关系终究服务于更大的图谋。
