话说莫瑞先生虽然欺骗过她太太，她太太在意识到自己吃了这个哑巴亏后就没给过他好脸色。尽管如此，莫瑞先生好歹也是爱她的啊。

96'

Walter Morel remained as he stood, leaning on the table with one hand, looking blank. When he was sufficiently sure of his balance, he went across to her, swayed, caught hold of the back of her rocking-chair, almost tipping her out; then, leaning forward over her, and swaying as he spoke, he said, in a tone of wondering concern:

'Did it catch thee?'

He swayed again, as if he would pitch on the child. With the catastrophe he had lost all balance.

'Go away,'she said, struggling to keep her presence of mind.

He hiccoughed. 'Let's---let's look at it,'he said, hiccoughing again.

'Go away!'she cried.

'Lemme-lemme look at it, lass.'

She smelled him of drink, felt the unequal pull of his swaying grasp on the back of her rocking-chair.

'Go away,'she said, and weakly she pushed him off.

'What has it done to thee, lass?'he asked, in a very wretched, humble tone.

'You can see what it's done,'she answered.
