"If he has heard nothing of my child," thought Michael, "this man must care little for his own fireside."

"Oh, speak, speak," said Agnes; "yet why need you speak? All this has been but a vain belief, and Lucy is in heaven."
“哦，說吧，說呀，”艾格尼絲焦急地問，轉而又說：“還說什么好呢？所有不過虛妄之想，露西已經走了。”

"Do you hear that, my beloved Agnes?" said Isabel;
“親愛的艾格尼絲，你聽到這消息嗎？”伊莎貝爾急切地問道，然后接著說，
she will have tramped away with Lucy up into Ettrick or Yarrow;

but hundreds of eyes will have been upon her; for these are quiet but not solitary glens;
可好幾百雙眼睛不會放過她的，那些山道關隘盡管人煙稀少，但總會有人蹲守，
and the hunt will be over long before she has crossed down upon Hawick.

I knew that country in my young days, What say you, Mr. Mayne? There is the light of hope in your face.
我打小對這塊地區相當熟悉，你想說什么？梅恩先生？你的臉上露出希望。
There is no reason to doubt, ma'am, that it was Lucy. Everybody is sure of it.
