中文翻译
这意味着厄门加德设法悄悄溜上去看望了她。
这其中有一些安慰。
这比独自走进房间，发现里面空荡荡、一片荒凉要好。
仅仅是丰满、舒适的厄门加德裹着她的红色披肩出现在那里，就会让它稍微温暖一点。
是的；当她打开门时，厄门加德就在那里。
她正坐在床的中间，双脚安全地蜷缩在身下。
她从未与梅尔基塞德克及其家人变得亲密，尽管他们相当吸引她。
当她发现自己独自在阁楼里时，她总是更喜欢坐在床上，直到萨拉到来。
事实上，在这次场合中，她有时间变得相当紧张，因为梅尔基塞德克出现了，到处嗅了很久，而且有一次它用后腿坐起来，一边看着她，一边故意朝她的方向嗅，让她发出了一声压抑的尖叫。
“哦，萨拉，”她喊道，“我很高兴你来了。”
