This reference to Florence, who had been standing by the door not unobservant of what passed, directed the attention of the younger branches towards her; and had likewise the happy effect of leading to the formal recognition of Miss Nipper, who was not quite free from a misgiving that she had been already slighted.[qh]

這是指弗洛倫斯，她一直站在門邊，不是沒有注意到剛才發生的情形，這時她吸引了嫩枝們對她的注意，而且，同樣幸運的是，隨后波利就正式介紹尼珀；尼珀姑娘很有些擔心，她已經被怠慢了。[qh]

'Oh do come in and sit down a minute, Susan, please,' said Polly. 'This is my sister Jemima, this is. Jemima, I don't know what I should ever do with myself, if it wasn't for Susan Nipper; I shouldn't be here now but for her.'[qh]

“啊，請進來坐一會兒吧，蘇珊！”波利說道。“這是我的妹妹杰邁瑪，這就是。杰邁瑪，要是沒有蘇珊•尼珀，我自己真不知道該怎么辦；要是沒有她，那么我現在就不會在這里啦。”[qh]

'Oh do sit down, Miss Nipper, if you please,' quota Jemima.[qh]

“啊，請坐吧，尼珀姑娘，”杰邁瑪說道。[qh]

Susan took the extreme corner of a chair, with a stately and ceremonious aspect.[qh]

蘇珊莊嚴地、十分講究禮節地在一張椅子中的一個極小的角落里坐下。[qh]

'I never was so glad to see anybody in all my life; now really I never was, Miss Nipper,' said Jemima.[qh]

“我這一輩子從來還沒有見到誰能像現在見到您這么高興，尼珀姑娘，真是從來沒有過，”杰邁瑪說道。[qh]

Susan relaxing, took a little more of the chair, and smiled graciously.[qh]

蘇珊輕松下來，往椅子里多坐進去一點，親切地微笑著。[qh]
