'Wal'r
my lad!'said Captain Cuttle. 'Stand by and knock again. Hard! It's washing day.'
Walter
in his impatience
gave a prodigious thump with the knocker.
'Hard it is!' said Captain Cuttle
and immediately drew in his head
as if he expected a squall.
“很有劲！”卡特尔船长说道，然后立即把头缩了进去，仿佛他预料到一场夹带冰雹的暴风就要来临似的。
Nor was he mistaken: for a widow lady
with her sLeeves rolled up to her shoulders
and her arms frothy with soap-suds and smoking with hot water
replied to the summons with startling rapidity. Before she looked at Walter she looked at the knocker
and then
measuring him with her eyes from head to foot
said she wondered he had left any of it.
'Captain Cuttle's at home
I know
' said Walter with a conciliatory smile.
'Is he?' replied the widow lady. 'In-deed!'
'He has just been speaking to me
' said Walter
in breathless explanation.
'Has he?' replied the widow lady. 'Then p'raps you'll give him Mrs MacStinger's respects
and say that the next time he lowers himself and his lodgings by talking out of the winder she'll thank him to e down and open the door too.' Mrs MacStinger spoke loud
and listened for any observations that might be offered from the first floor.
'I'll mention it
' said Walter
'if you'll have the goodness to let me in
Ma'am.'
For he was repelled by a wooden fortification extending across the doorway
and put there to prevent the little MacStingers in their moments of recreation from tumbling down the steps.
'A boy that can knock my door down
' said Mrs MacStinger
contemptuously
'can get over that
I should hope!' But Walter
taking this as a permission to enter
and getting over it
Mrs MacStinger immediately demanded whether an Englishwoman's house was her castle or not; and whether she was to be broke in upon by 'raff.' On these subjects her thirst for information was still very importunate
when Walter
having made his way up the little staircase through an artificial fog occasioned by the washing
which covered the banisters with a clammy perspiration
entered Captain Cuttle's room
and found that gentleman in ambush behind the door.
'Never owed her a penny
Wal'r
' said Captain Cuttle
in a low voice
and with visible marks of trepidation on his countenance. 'Done her a world of good turns
and the children too. Vixen at times
though. Whew!'
