As they stood deliberating in the street
a man passed them
who glanced quickly at Walter as he went by
as if he recognised him; but seeming to correct that first impression
he passed on without stopping.
'Why
I think it's Mr Carker
' said Walter. 'Carker in our House. Not Carker our Manager
Miss Dombey - the other Carker; the Junior - Halloa! Mr Carker!'
'Is that Walter Gay?' said the other
stopping and returning. 'I couldn't believe it
with such a strange panion.
“是沃尔特•盖伊吗？”那人停下脚步，转过身来，说道，“您跟这样一位奇怪的同伴在一起，使我不敢相信了。”
As he stood near a lamp
listening with surprise to Walter's hurried explanation
he presented a remarkable contrast to the o youthful figures arm-in-arm before him. He was not old
but his hair was white; his body was bent
or bowed as if by the weight of some great trouble: and there were deep lines in his worn and melancholy face. The fire of his eyes
the expression of his features
the very voice in which he spoke
were all subdued and quenched
as if the spirit within him lay in ashes. He was respectably
though very plainly dressed
in black; but his clothes
moulded to the general character of his figure
seemed to shrink and abase themselves upon him
and to join in the sorrowful solicitation which the whole man from head to foot expressed
to be left unnoticed
and alone in his humility.
And yet his interest in youth and hopefulness was not extinguished with the other embers of his soul
for he watched the boy's earnest countenance as he spoke with unusual sympathy
though with an inexplicable show of trouble and passion
which escaped into his looks
however hard he strove to hold it prisoner. When Walter
in conclusion
put to him the question he had put to Florence
he still stood glancing at him with the same expression
as if he had read some fate upon his face
mournfully at variance with its present brightness.
'What do you advise
Mr Carker?' said Walter
smiling. 'You always give me good advice
you know
when you do speak to me. That's not often
though.'
'I think your own idea is the best
' he answered: looking from Florence to Walter
and back again.
'Mr Carker
' said Walter
brightening with a generous thought
'Come! Here's a chance for you. Go you to Mr Dombey's
and be the messenger of good news. It may do you some good
Sir. I'll remain at home. You shall go.'
'I!' returned the other.
'Yes. Why not
Mr Carker?' said the boy.
He merely shook him by the hand in answer; he seemed in a manner ashamed and afraid even to do that; and bidding him good-night
and advising him to make haste
turned away.
'Come
Miss Dombey
' said Walter
looking after him as they turned away also
'we'll go to my Uncle's as quick as we can. Did you ever hear Mr Dombey speak of Mr Carker the Junior
Miss Florence?'
“没有，”女孩子温和地回答道，“我不常听爸爸讲话。”
