'It's a very nasty one
' said Paul.
'There's a worse place in it than this though
' said Mrs Pipchin
'where we shut up our bad boys.'
'Has he ever been in it?' asked Paul: pointing out Master Bitherstone.
“他有没有在里面待过？”保罗指着比瑟斯通少爷，问道。
Mrs Pipchin nodded assent; and Paul had enough to do
for the rest of that day
in surveying Master Bitherstone from head to foot
and watching all the workings of his countenance
with the interest attaching to a boy of mysterious and terrible experiences.
At one o'clock there was a dinner
chiefly of the farinaceous and vegetable kind
when Miss Pankey (a mild little blue-eyed morsel of a child
who was shampoo'd every morning
and seemed in danger of being rubbed away
altogether) was led in from captivity by the ogress herself
and instructed that nobody who sniffed before visitors ever went to Heaven. When this great truth had been thoroughly impressed upon her
she was regaled with rice; and subsequently repeated the form of grace established in the Castle
in which there was a special clause
thanking Mrs Pipchin for a good dinner. Mrs Pipchin's niece
Berinthia
took cold pork. Mrs Pipchin
whose constitution required warm nourishment
made a special repast of mutton-chops
which were brought in hot and hot
beeen o plates
and smelt very nice.
As it rained after dinner
and they couldn't go out walking on the beach
and Mrs Pipchin's constitution d rest after chops
they went away with Berry (otherwise Berinthia) to the Dungeon; an empty room looking out upon a chalk wall and a water-butt
and made ghastly by a ragged fireplace without any stove in it. Enlivened by pany
however
this was the best place after all; for Berry played with them there
and seemed to enjoy a game at romps as much as they did; until Mrs Pipchin knocking angrily at the wall
like the Cock Lane Ghost' revived
they left off
and Berry told them stories in a whisper until ilight.
--------①公鸡巷的鬼怪（theCockLaneGhost）：十八世纪中叶，伦敦人都听说公鸡巷33号的住宅中出现了鬼怪，实际上却是这个住宅中的居民威廉•帕森斯（WilliamPar－sons）和他的妻子、女儿耍弄腹语术的把戏，来欺骗轻信的伦敦市民。后来 骗局被揭穿。1762年，全家人被判处绑在耻辱柱上示众，并蹲坐监狱。For tea there was plenty of milk and water
and bread and butter
with a little black tea-pot for Mrs Pipchin and Berry
and buttered toast unlimited for Mrs Pipchin
which was brought in
hot and hot
like the chops. Though Mrs Pipchin got very greasy
outside
over this dish
it didn't seem to lubricate her internally
at all; for she was as fierce as ever
and the hard grey eye knew no softening.
