“Certainly not，” said Jack， “that shows what a villain he is.”
“Do they know this for certain， Jack？” asked Miss Laura.
“Well， they suppose so； they found some bottles of oil along with the bag he had for the silver.”
“How horrible！ You darling old Joe， perhaps you saved our lives，” and pretty Miss Bessie kissed my ugly， swollen head. I could do nothing but lick her little hand， but always after that I thought a great deal of her.
The next day the Drurys came home， and everything was found out about Jenkins. He was made to confess all this. Then for his wickedness he was sent to prison for ten years， and I hope he will get to be a better man there， and be one after he comes out.
在莫里斯家的第一个冬天，我经历了一场惊心动魄的冒险。那是圣诞节的前一个星期，天气有雾又寒冷。那天，我懒懒地躺在火炉旁，累极了。
门突然打开了，一个叫贝西？德鲁里的年轻女孩走了进来。
她从马路对面她父亲的屋子里跑出来，头上戴着帽子，脖子上围着围巾。“哦，莫里斯夫人，”她说，“你可以今晚让劳拉过来陪陪我吗？妈妈刚才接到从班格传来的电报，说她的姨妈，也就是科尔夫人重病，她要去看她，爸爸今晚陪她一起乘火车去，妈妈怕我没有劳拉陪伴会孤单。”
“好吧，” 莫里斯夫人说道， “我想劳拉很乐意陪你的。”
“那当然了，”劳拉小姐笑着对她的朋友说道，“半小时后我到你那里。”
“太谢谢你了。” 说完，贝西匆忙走了。
她走后，莫里斯先生从报纸里探出头来，说道：“除了这两个女孩子，屋子里还有其他人吗？”
“哦，当然，” 莫里斯夫人说道，“德鲁里夫人有个老奶妈，已经跟随她20年了，还有两个女仆，车夫唐纳德就睡在马厩里，他们会保护好她的。”
