10 句英文原文
" That is what has happened to me!" she cried.
" I was always so sure of his payments that I went to all sorts of ridiculous expenses for the child."
中文翻译
克鲁船长去世时没有支付我们最后的账单——而且那是一笔大账单。"
明钦小姐从门口转过身来,更加愤怒了。
这比任何人所能想象的还要糟糕。
"这就是发生在我身上的事!" 她喊道。
“我一直对他的付款如此确信,以至于我为这孩子承担了各种荒谬的开销。”
我为那个荒谬的娃娃和她那荒谬又奇妙的衣柜付了账单。
这个孩子可以得到任何她想要的东西。
她有一辆马车、一匹小马和一个女仆,而且自从上次支票到账以来,所有这些费用都是我支付的。"
巴罗先生显然不打算留下来听明钦小姐的抱怨,在他已经明确了自己公司的立场并陈述了那些枯燥的事实之后。
他对那些愤怒的寄宿学校管理者并没有感到任何特别的同情。
