狄更斯雙語小說:《董貝父子》第15章Part15
“是的，理查茲大嫂，是我，”蘇珊說，“我真巴不得不是我纔好呢，雖然我這麼說似乎不太客氣，可是小保羅少爺病得很重，他今天跟他爸爸說，他想看看他從前的奶媽的臉，他和弗洛伊小姐希望您能跟我一道去——還有沃爾特先生也一道走，理查茲大嫂——把過去的事情忘了吧，給可愛的小寶貝幫幫忙吧，他活不長了。啊，理查茲大嫂，他活不長了，就要離開人世了。”
Susan Nipper crying, Polly shed tears to see her, and to hear what she had said; and all the children gathered round (including numbers of new babies); and Mr Toodle, who had just come home from Birmingham, and was eating his dinner out of a basin, laid down his knife and fork,and put on his wife's bonnet and shawl for her, which were hanging up behind the door; then tapped her on the back; and said, with more fatherly feeling than eloquence, 'Polly! Cut away!'蘇珊·尼珀哭着；波利流着眼淚看着她，聽着她所說的話；所有的孩子們（包括一些新的嬰孩）聚集在周圍；圖德爾先生剛剛從伯明翰回到家裏，正從一個盆裏取出飯菜吃着，這時他放下刀叉，把他妻子掛在門後的帽子和圍巾取下給她穿戴上，然後拍拍她的後背，懷着深厚的父親般的感情，但卻不善於言辭地說道，“波利，走吧！”
So they got back to the coach, long before the coachman expected them; and Walter, putting Susan and Mrs Richards inside, took his seat on the box himself that there might be no more mistakes, and deposited them safely in the hall of Mr Dombey's house—where, by the bye, he saw a mighty nosegay lying, which reminded him of the one Captain Cuttle had purchased in his company that morning.這樣他們就回到了馬車跟前，比車伕預料的時間早好多。沃爾特把蘇珊和理查茲大嫂扶進馬車以後，自己坐在馬車伕的座位上，以防再發生什麼差錯；最後把他們安然無恙地送進了董貝先生公館的前廳裏。——順便說一句，他在前廳裏看到了一個很大的花束擺在那裏，這使他想起了卡特爾船長那天早上跟他一道買下的那一束。
He would have lingered to know more of the young invalid, or waited any length of time to see if he could render the least service; but,painfully sensible that such conduct would be looked upon by Mr Dombey as presumptuous and forward, he turned slowly, sadly, anxiously, away.
他本很願意在那裏多逗留一些時候，好多瞭解一些病人的情況，或者就在那裏一直等待着，看他能不能稍稍幫點兒忙；可是他痛苦地意識到，這會被董貝先生看作是一種冒昧的、唐突的行爲；所以他就緩慢地、悲傷地、憂心忡忡地轉身離開了。
He had not gone five minutes' walk from the door, when a man came running after him, and begged him to return. Walter retraced his steps as quickly as he could, and entered the gloomy house with a sorrowful foreboding.他走出門不到五分鐘，就有一個人追趕上來，請他回去。他順着原路儘快地走回去，並懷着悲哀的預感，走進了那陰沉的公館。
