Chapter 15 Shelter for Magwitch
第15章節 馬格韋斯隱藏起來
I spent a restless night at a hotel，worrying about the reasons for Wemmick's warning．
我在一家旅店度過了一個不眠之夜，為文米克警告的原因擔憂。
Early in the morning I went to see him at the Castle．He told me he had heard I was being watched，and that someone was looking for Magwitch．
一大早我去那個城堡見他，他告訴我，他聽說有人正監視我，有人正在尋找馬格韋契。
He also knew that Compeyson was alive and in London．While I was absent，Wemmick had warned Herbert to move our guest to a safer place．
他還知道康培生還活著，在倫敦。當我不在的時候，文米克已經提醒赫伯特把我們的客人轉移到安全的地方。
Clara，the girl Herbert was in love with，lived with her old father in a house on the river，quite near the open sea，
克萊拉，這個和赫伯特相愛的姑娘，和她父親住在靠近河邊的一座房子里，離寬闊的大海很近。
and Herbert had arranged to rent rooms for Magwitch in this house．
赫伯特已經安排了在這座房子里為馬格韋契租間房子，
It was further away from the centre of London and our home，and we could easily take Magwitch abroad by boat from there．
這座房子離倫敦市中心和我們的家很遠。從這里，我們能很容易地通過船把馬格韋契送往國外。
Our friend is there now，’said Wemmick，and you can visit him tonight，but don't go back there after that．
現在，我們的朋友在這里，文米克說，你今晚就能拜訪他。
And remember，Mr Pip，’he added firmly，remember to get his cash．You don't know what may happen to him．Don't let anything happen to his cash．’
不過，在這之后不要回那兒。記住，匹普先生，他緊接著說，記住得到他的錢，你不知道對他來說會發生什么，不要讓他的錢發生任何事情。
I could not explain to Wemmick how I felt about Magwich's money，so I said nothing．
我高不清文米克怎么會惦記馬格韋契的錢。因此，我什么也沒說。
That evening I visited the house，and met Clara，a lovely girl，obviously in love with Herbert．How lucky she and Herbert were！I thought of Estella，and felt very sad．
那天晚上，我去了這座房子，遇上了克萊拉，一個可愛的姑娘，顯而易見，和赫伯特相愛。她和赫伯特是多么的幸運！我想到艾絲黛拉，感到十分傷心。
關于《遠大前程》
期間他還聽說了一件故事：20多年前，老處女在結婚典禮上，被弟弟亞瑟和未婚夫康生合謀騙了一大筆錢，然后整天萎靡不振，停留在過去的回憶里。
