不知何故，他逐渐喜欢上了这个不快乐的人。
他自己是如此健康快乐，被欢乐和爱所包围，以至于荒凉和破碎的健康状况显得可怜得令人难以忍受。
如果房子里曾有过哪怕一个欢快、尖细的小声音，它也不会显得如此凄凉。
而且，一个人被迫在胸中怀有这样一种想法——他似乎冤枉并抛弃了一个孩子——这是一件让人无法面对的事情。
"好啦，好啦，"他用欢快的声音说道；"我们会找到她的。"
“我们必须立刻开始。
“一刻也不能耽误，”卡里斯福德先生焦急地说道。
“你有什么新的建议要提吗——任何建议都行？”
卡迈克尔先生感到相当坐立不安，他站起身，开始在房间里踱步，脸上带着一副若有所思却又犹豫不决的表情。
“嗯，也许吧，”他说道。
