"When he was gone I unlocked my bureau, made sure that my treasure was safe, and locked it again.

"等他走后，我將大柜櫥打開，查看我的寶物是否安然無事，然后我再把柜子鎖上。

Then I started to go round the house to see that all was secure

接著我開始到房子各處巡視一番，看看是否一切安全，沒有差錯。

a duty which I usually leave to Mary but which I thought it well to perform myself that night.

在平時，我總是將這個任務交給瑪麗的，但我想當晚最好由我親自巡視。

As I came down the stairs I saw Mary herself at the side window of the hall, which she closed and fastened as I approached.

當我下樓梯時，我看見瑪麗一個人在大廳的邊窗那里，而在我走近她時，她把窗戶關上并插上了插銷。

'Tell me, dad,' said she, looking, I thought, a little disturbed,

'告訴我，爹，'她說，神情似乎有些慌張，

'did you give Lucy, the maid, leave to go out to-night?' 'Certainly not.'

'是你允許侍女露茜今天晚上出去的嗎？' '當然沒有。'

'She came in just now by the back door.

'她剛從后門進來。

I have no doubt that she has only been to the side gate to see someone, but I think that it is hardly safe and should be stopped.'

我相信她剛才是到邊門去會見什么人，我想這樣很不安全，必須制止她。'

'You must speak to her in the morning, or I will if you prefer it.

'明早你一定對她講講，假如你希望我講的話，那我就對她講好了。

Are you sure that everything is fastened?' 'Quite sure, dad.'

你肯定各處都關好了嗎？' '十分肯定，爹。'

'Then, good-night.' I kissed her and went up to my bedroom again, where I was soon asleep."

'那么，晚安！'我親了她一下便上樓到臥室里去，不久就睡著了。"
