"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(kāi)，查看我的寶物是否安然無(wú)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(kāi)始到房子各處巡視一番，看看是否一切安全，沒(méi)有差錯(cuò)。
a duty which I usually leave to Mary but which I thought it well to perform myself that night.
在平時(shí)，我總是將這個(gè)任務(wù)交給瑪麗的，但我想當(dāng)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(dāng)我下樓梯時(shí)，我看見(jiàn)瑪麗一個(gè)人在大廳的邊窗那里，而在我走近她時(shí)，她把窗戶關(guān)上并插上了插銷。
'Tell me, dad,' said she, looking, I thought, a little disturbed,
'告訴我，爹，'她說(shuō)，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(dāng)然沒(méi)有。'
'She came in just now by the back door.
'她剛從后門進(jìn)來(lái)。
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(huì)見(jiàn)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(duì)她講講，假如你希望我講的話，那我就對(duì)她講好了。
Are you sure that everything is fastened?' 'Quite sure, dad.'
你肯定各處都關(guān)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。"
