摇篮车  perambulators
>>>>

>>>>
On both sides of the straight road there were tall hedges 篱笆 , and the
nursemaids lay in the wide shadows on the rich summer grass, their
perambulators 摇篮车 at a little distance.
>>>>
The hum of the town died out of the

ear, and the girl continued to imagine the future

she was about to enter on with increasing distinctness.
>>>>
Looking across the fields she could see
two houses, one in grey stone, the other
in red brick with a gable 山墙
三角墙 covered with ivy 常春藤; and between them, lost in the north,
the spire of a church.
>>>>
On questioning a passer-by she learnt that  the first house was the Rectory, the second was Woodview Lodge.

If that was the lodge 小屋 门房, what must the house be?

Two hundred yards further on the road branched, passing on either side of
a triangular 三角形的 clump of trees 树丛 ,
entering the sea road; and under the leaves
the air was green and pleasant, and the lungs of the jaded town girl
drew  in a deep breath of health. Behind the plantation she found a large
white-painted wooden gate.

It opened into a handsome avenue, and the  gatekeeper told her to keep straight on,
and to turn to the left when she got to the top. She had never seen anything
like it before, and stopped  to admire the uncouth 粗俗 怪异的 arms of elms 榆树,
like rafters above the roadway; pink  粉红色的 clouds showed through,
and the monotonous dove 鸽子 seemed the very heart of the silence.

Then the roadway opened into a handsome yard overlooked by the house, the
back premises of which had been lately rebuilt in red brick. There were
gables 山墙 三角墙 and ornamental porches 门廊 , and
through the large kitchen windows the
servants were seen passing to and fro. At the top of this yard was a gate.
It led into the park, and, like the other gate, was overhung by bunched 未聚束的
evergreens. A string of horses came towards this gate, and William ran to
open it.

The horses were clothed in grey cloth. They wore hoods 头巾 兜帽, and
Esther noticed the black round eyes looking through the eyelet holes. They
were ridden by small, ugly boys, who swung their little legs, and struck
them with ash plants  带灰的植物 when they reached their heads forward chawing 咀嚼 at the
bits. When William returned he said, "Look there, the third one; that's
he--that's Silver Braid  辫子 ."

An impatient knocking at the kitchen window interrupted his admiration,

This way." The door let into a wide passage covered with coconut matting 椰衣垫.
They walked a few yards; the kitchen was the first door, and the handsome room
she found herself in did not conform to anything that Esther had seen or
heard of kitchens. The range almost filled one end of the room, and on it
a dozen saucepans 长柄有盖的深锅 were simmering 慢慢地煮沸;
the dresser 碗柜 reached to the ceiling, and
was covered with a multitude of plates and dishes.

Esther thought how she
must strive to keep it in its present beautiful condition, and the elegant
white-capped servants passing round the white table made her feel her own
insignificance.

"This is the new kitchen-maid, mother."
"Ah, is it indeed?" said Mrs. Latch looking up from the tray 托盘 of tartlets 小果馅饼
which she had taken from the oven 烤炉 烤箱 and was filling with jam. Esther noticed
the likeness that Mrs. Latch bore to her son. The hair was iron grey, and,
as in William's face, the nose was the most prominent feature.

"I suppose you'll tell me the train was late?"
"Yes, mother, the train was a quarter of an hour late,"
William chimed in. （ chime  鸣,打,和协 插话 ）

The two housemaids, both in print dresses 印花外套, stood listening. Esther's face
clouded, and when Mrs. Latch told her to take her things off and set to
and prepare the vegetables, so that she might see what she was made of,
Esther did not answer at once. She turned away, saying under her breath,
"I must change my dress, and my box has not come up from the station yet."

A sloping roof formed one end of the room, and through a broad, single

flowers. Print dresses hung over the door. On the wall were two
pictures--a girl with a basket of flowers, the coloured supplement of an
illustrated newspaper 作图解的报纸 , and an old and dilapidated

And in a low, narrow iron bed, pushed close against the wall in the full
glare 刺眼 of the sunlight, Esther lay staring half-awake, her eyes open but
still dim with dreams. She looked at the clock. It was not yet time to get
up, and she raised her arms as if to cross them behind her head, but a
sudden remembrance of yesterday arrested her movement, and a sudden shadow
settled on her face.

She had refused to prepare the vegetables. She hadn't

from the house under the momentary sway 使摇动,支配 of hope that she might succeed in
walking back to London; but William had overtaken her in the avenue, he
had expostulated 抗议 告诫 with her, he had refused to allow her to pass.

She had striven to tear herself from him, and, failing, had burst into tears.

would make it all right with his mother.

 But Mrs. Latch had closed her

say? He would drive her from the house. But she had done nothing wrong.
Why did cook insult her?

As she pulled on her stockings she stopped and wondered if she should
awake Margaret Gale. Margaret's bed stood in the shadow of the obliquely 斜
falling wall; and she lay heavily, one arm thrown forward, her short,
square face raised to the light. She slept so deeply that for a moment
Esther felt afraid. Suddenly the eyes opened, and Margaret looked at her
vaguely, as if out of eternity. Raising her hands to her eyes she said--
"What time is it?"
"It has just gone six."
"Then there's plenty of time; we needn't be down before seven. You get on
with your dressing; there's no use in my getting up till you are
done--we'd be tumbling 翻跟头 筋斗 over each other. This is no room to put two girls
to sleep in--one glass not much bigger than your hand. You'll have to get
your box under your bed.... In my last place I had a beautiful room with a
Brussels carpet, and a marble washstand. I wouldn't stay here three days
if it weren't----" The girl laughed and turned lazily over.
Esther did not answer.
"Now, isn't it a grubby little room to put two girls to sleep in? What was
your last place like?"
Esther answered that she had hardly been in service before. Margaret was
too much engrossed 全神贯注于 in her own thoughts to
notice the curtness 简略 草率 of the answer.
