原文内容
10 句英文原文
" You have not undertaken an easy charge," she said to the Indian gentleman, as she turned to leave the room;" you will discover that very soon.
中文翻译
克鲁小姐同学们的家长不太可能拒绝她邀请他们去她监护人家中拜访的请求。
卡里斯福德先生会处理那件事的。"
必须承认,就连明钦小姐也退缩了。
这比那位可能脾气暴躁、容易因侄女所受待遇而生气的那位古怪单身汉叔叔还要糟糕。
一个思想卑劣的女人很容易相信,大多数人不会拒绝让自己的孩子继续与一位钻石矿的小女继承人做朋友。
而且,如果卡里斯福德先生选择告诉她的某些主顾萨拉·克鲁曾经多么不快乐,许多不愉快的事情可能会发生。
“你接下的可不是个轻松的差事,”她对那位印度绅士说道,一边转身要离开房间;“你很快就会发现的。”
这孩子既不诚实也不懂得感恩。
我想"——对萨拉说——"你现在感觉自己又是一位公主了。
萨拉低下头,脸微微泛红,因为她觉得她这种奇特的爱好可能不容易让陌生人——即使是友善的陌生人——一开始就理解。
