中文翻译
他们几乎还没来得及把蛋糕拿到手里——他们中没有一个来得及做更多的事,就在这时——他们三个都跳了起来,脸色苍白地转向门口——听着——听着。
有人正走上楼梯。
关于这一点,没有任何错误。
他们每个人都认出了那愤怒的、不断加剧的脚步声,并且知道一切事物的终结已经到来。
"是——是太太!" 贝基哽咽着说道,手里的那块蛋糕掉在了地板上。
“是的,”萨拉说道,在她那张小巧苍白的脸上,她的眼睛因震惊而睁得大大的。
明钦小姐已经发现了我们。
明钦小姐用手猛地一击把门撞开。
她自己脸色苍白,但那是因为愤怒。
她的目光从那些惊恐的面孔转向宴会餐桌,又从宴会餐桌转向炉栅里那张烧焦的纸的最后一点闪烁的火光。
