“Certainly not，” said Jack， “that shows what a villain he is.”
“Do they know this for certain， Jack？” asked Miss Laura.
“Well， they suppose so； they found some bottles of oil along with the bag he had for the silver.”
“How horrible！ You darling old Joe， perhaps you saved our lives，” and pretty Miss Bessie kissed my ugly， swollen head. I could do nothing but lick her little hand， but always after that I thought a great deal of her.
The next day the Drurys came home， and everything was found out about Jenkins. He was made to confess all this. Then for his wickedness he was sent to prison for ten years， and I hope he will get to be a better man there， and be one after he comes out.
在莫裏斯家的第一個冬天，我經曆了一場驚心動魄的冒險。那是聖誕節的前一個星期，天氣有霧又寒冷。那天，我懶懶地躺在火爐旁，累極了。
門突然打開了，一個叫貝西？德魯裏的年輕女孩走了進來。
她從馬路對麵她父親的屋子裏跑出來，頭上戴著帽子，脖子上圍著圍巾。“哦，莫裏斯夫人，”她說，“你可以今晚讓勞拉過來陪陪我嗎？媽媽剛才接到從班格傳來的電報，說她的姨媽，也就是科爾夫人重病，她要去看她，爸爸今晚陪她一起乘火車去，媽媽怕我沒有勞拉陪伴會孤單。”
“好吧，” 莫裏斯夫人說道， “我想勞拉很樂意陪你的。”
“那當然了，”勞拉小姐笑著對她的朋友說道，“半小時後我到你那裏。”
“太謝謝你了。” 說完，貝西匆忙走了。
她走後，莫裏斯先生從報紙裏探出頭來，說道：“除了這兩個女孩子，屋子裏還有其他人嗎？”
“哦，當然，” 莫裏斯夫人說道，“德魯裏夫人有個老奶媽，已經跟隨她20年了，還有兩個女仆，車夫唐納德就睡在馬廄裏，他們會保護好她的。”
