贝思因性格太羞怯而没有上学;她也曾进过学堂,但感到极度痛苦,只得辍学在家,跟着父亲读书。父亲走后,母亲也被派去为"战士援助会"服务,贝思仍忠实不移,坚持尽自己的最大努力自学。她是个贤妻良母型的小姑娘,帮罕娜为工人们把家里打理得整洁舒适,从不乞求报偿,只要被人爱着便心满意足。她静悄悄地度过漫漫长日,从不孤独,从不懒散,因为她的小天地不乏虚构出来的朋友,而她天生就是个勤劳的小蜜蜂。
There were six dolls to be taken up and dressed every morning, for Beth was a child still and loved her pets as well as ever. Not one whole or handsome one among them, all wereoutcaststill Beth took them in, for when her sistersoutgrewthese idols, they passed to her because Amy would have nothing old or ugly. Beth cherished them all the more tenderly for that very reason, and set up a hospital forinfirmdolls. No pins were ever stuck into their cotton vitals, no harsh words or blows were ever given them, no neglect ever saddened the heart of the mostrepulsive, but all were fed and clothed, nursed andcaressedwith an affection which never failed.
每天一早贝思都要给六个玩具宝宝穿衣装扮,因为她还是个孩子,仍然喜欢宠物。她的小宝贝原来都是弃儿,个个残缺不全,都是两个姐姐长大后不要而传给她的,因为这样又旧又丑的东西艾美是不会要的。正因为如此,贝思对它们呵护有加,专为这些摇摇摆摆的小宝贝设了间医院。她给这些布娃娃一丝不苟地打针,给它们喂饭、穿衣、护理,从不打骂它们,并不忘奉上深情的一吻,即使是最丑陋的玩偶也不会被忽略。
