“媽媽，”他說。
"Yes?"
“嗯？”
"Did Aunt Mary say anything about me—before she died?"
“瑪麗叔祖母提到過我嗎——在她死前？”
"Not that I know of—the poor thing was too far gone to speak, God rest her."
“據(jù)我所知沒有——那件不幸的事已經(jīng)過去太久了，不會(huì)被提起了。上帝保佑她安息。”

他感覺到自己如鯁在喉，他把自己的頭埋進(jìn)書中。眼淚流到了他的臂彎里，為這位曾是他叔祖母的未婚女人，為這位曾為他講故事的女人，也許她已經(jīng)原諒了他。
