“走过去"这个计划一直在乔的脑海里纠缠;这天下午雪花飘落时,乔决定采取行动。她看到劳伦斯先生坐车出了门,便开始挖路,一直挖到树篱边,这才停下来望望。四处悄无声息--楼下窗户帘幕低垂,佣人也全无踪影,独见楼上窗边露出一个黑色鬈发的脑袋靠在纤薄的手掌上。

"Thereheis,"thoughtJo, "Poorboy!Allaloneandsickthisdismalday.It'sashame!I'lltossupasnowballandmakehimlookout,andthensayakindwordtohim."

“他在上头呢,”乔想,“多可怜的人!这么阴沉沉的日子孤独一人,郁郁不乐。简直,岂有此理!我要抛个雪球上去,引他望过来,再跟他好好说上几句话。”

乔抛出一捧软绵绵的雪花,楼上的人马上转过头来,脸上无精打采的神情一扫而光,大眼睛闪闪发亮,嘴角露出笑意。乔点点头笑了,挥舞着手中的扫帚叫道—-

"Howdoyoudo?Areyousick?"Laurieopenedthewindow,andcroakedoutashoarselyasaraven. . .

“你好吗?是不是病了?”劳里打开窗,像个渡鸦般嘶哑着嗓子答道--

"Better,thankyou.I'vehadabadcold,andbeenshutupaweek."

“好点了,谢谢你。我得了重感冒,在屋里关了一个星期了。”

"I'msorry.Whatdoyouamuseyourselfwith?"

“真遗憾。有什么消遣吗?”

"Nothing.It'sdullastombsuphere."

“没有。这里头闷得像个坟墓。”

"Don'tyouread?"

“你不看书吗?”

"Notmuch.Theywon'tletme."

“不大看。他们不让我看。”

"Can'tsomebodyreadtoyou?"

“没有人念给你听吗?”
