After tea, Berry brought out a little work-box, with the Royal Pavilion on the lid, and fell to working busily; while Mrs Pipchin, having put on her spectacles and opened a great volume bound in green baize, began to nod. And whenever Mrs Pipchin caught herself falling forward into the fire, and woke up, she filliped Master Bitherstone on the nose for nodding too.
喝过茶以后,贝里取出一只盖上绘有皇亭的小针线盒,忙碌不停地干起活 来;皮普钦太太则戴上眼镜,打开一本以桌面呢做封面的大书以后,开始打瞌睡。每当皮普钦太太身子往前倾斜,快要扑进炉火里,因而猛醒过来的时候,她总是用指头弹弹比瑟斯通少爷的鼻子,因为他也在打瞌睡。
At last it was the children's bedtime, and after prayers they went to bed. As little Miss Pankey was afraid of sleeping alone in the dark, Mrs Pipchin always made a point of driving her upstairs herself, like a sheep; and it was cheerful to hear Miss Pankey moaning long afterwards, in the least eligible chamber, and Mrs Pipchin now and then going in to shake her. At about half-past nine o'clock the odour of a warm sweet-bread (Mrs Pipchin's constitution wouldn't go to sleep without sweet-bread) diversified the prevailing fragrance of the house, which Mrs Wickam said was 'a smell of building;' and slumber fell upon the Castle shortly after.
终于到了孩子们就寝的时间,做完祷告之后他们就上床睡觉。由于幼小的潘基小姐害怕单独在黑暗中睡觉,皮普钦太太总认为有必要由她亲自把她像羊似地赶到楼上去;听到潘基小姐在这根本不合适的卧室里仍长久地呜咽不停,皮普钦太太则不时走进去摇晃她,这是有趣的。大约九点半钟的时候,房屋里主要的芬芳气味(威肯姆大娘认为是建筑的气味)中又增添了一种热乎乎的羊胰脏的香味(按照皮普钦太太的体质,不吃小羊胰脏是睡不着觉的。)
