Mrs Mann took his hat and coat, placed a chair for him, and expressed great concern for his comfort．“You’ve had a long walk, Mr Bumble’ she said, “ and you must be thirsty.” She took out a bottle from the cupboard．
曼太太接過了他的帽子和外衣，替他端過—把椅子，并且對他是否舒適表示了極大的關心。“班布爾先生，您大老遠地走來，一定是渴了。”她說著從櫥子里拿出了一個瓶子。
“No, thank you, Mrs Mann. Not a drop.” He waved the bottle away.”

“Just a little drop, Mr Bumble, with cold water,” said Mrs Mann persuasively．
