He was not in any of the lower rooms.

I asked Mrs. Fairfax if she had seen him.
我問費爾法克斯太太有沒有見到過他。
Yes, she believed he was playing billiards with Miss Ingram.
不錯，她想他跟英格拉姆小姐在玩臺球。
To the billiard-room I hastened. The click of balls and the hum of voices resounded thence.
我急忙趕到臺球房，那里回響著臺球的咔嗒聲和嗡嗡的說話聲。
Mr. Rochester, Miss Ingram, the two Misses Eshton, and their admirers, were all busied in the game.
羅切斯特先生、英格拉姆小姐、兩位埃希頓小姐和她們的傾慕者正忙著玩那游戲呢。
It required some courage to disturb so interesting a party.
要去打攪這批興致勃勃的人是需要有勇氣的。
My errand, however, was one I could not defer, so I approached the master where he stood at Miss Ingram's side.
但我的事兒又不能拖延。于是我便向我主人走去，他站在英格拉姆小姐旁邊。
She turned as I drew near, and looked at me haughtily.
我一走近，她便回過頭來盛氣凌人地看著我。
Her eyes seemed to demand, "What can the creeping creature want now?"
她的眼睛似乎在說，“那個遲遲疑疑的家伙現在要干什么？
and when I said, in a low voice, "Mr. Rochester," she made a movement as if tempted to order me away.
當我輕輕地叫了聲，“羅切斯特先生”時，她移動了一下，仿佛按捺不住要命令我走開。
I remember her appearance at the moment. It was very graceful and very striking.
我還記得她那時的樣子。優雅而出眾。
She wore a morning robe of sky-blue crape.
她穿著一件天藍的皺紗睡袍。
A gauzy azure scarf was twisted in her hair.
頭發上纏著一條青色薄紗頭巾。
She had been all animation with the game, and irritated pride did not lower the expression of her haughty lineaments.
她玩興正濃，雖然觸犯了自尊，但臉上驕矜之氣未減。
"Does that person want you?" she inquired of Mr. Rochester.
“那人找你嗎？”她問羅切斯特先生。
And Mr. Rochester turned to see who the "person" was.
羅切斯特先生回頭看看“那人”是誰。
He made a curious grimace -- one of his strange and equivocal demonstrations -- threw down his cue and followed me from the room.
作了個奇怪的鬼臉--異樣而含糊的表情--扔下了球棒，隨我走出了房門。
"Well, Jane?" he said, as he rested his back against the schoolroom door, which he had shut.
“怎么啦，簡？”他關了房門后，身子倚在門上說。
