Walter's eyes filled with tears as he spoke; and so did those of Florence. Her father saw them glistening
though he appeared to look at Walter only.
'It is a very large sum
Sir
' said Walter. 'More than three hundred pounds. My Uncle is quite beaten down by his misfortune
it lies so heavy on him; and is quite unable to do anything for his own relief. He doesn't even know yet
that I have e to speak to you. You would wish me to say
Sir
' added Walter
after a moment's hesitation
'exactly what it is I want. I really don't know
Sir. There is my Uncle's stock
on which I believe I may say
confidently
there are no other demands
and there is Captain Cuttle
who would wish to be security too. I - I hardly like to mention
' said Walter
'such earnings as mine; but if you would allow them - accumulate - payment - advance - Uncle - frugal
honourable
old man.' Walter trailed off
through these broken sentences
into silence: and stood with downcast head
before his employer.
Considering this a favourable moment for the display of the valuables
Captain Cuttle advanced to the table; and clearing a space among the breakfast-cups at Mr Dombey's elbow
produced the silver watch
the ready money
the teaspoons
and the sugar-tongs; and piling them up into a heap that they might look as precious as possible
delivered himself of these words:
卡特尔船长觉得这是显示那些贵重物品的好时机，就向前走到餐桌跟前，在董贝先生身旁的餐杯中间清出一小片地方，取出了银表、现钱、茶匙和方糖箝子；又把它们堆成一堆，使它们看起来显得格外贵重，然后说出了以下的一番话：
'Half a loaf's better than no bread
and the same remark holds good with crumbs. There's a few. Annuity of one hundred pound premium also ready to be made over. If there is a man chock full of science in the world
it's old Sol Gills. If there is a lad of promise - one flowing
' added the Captain
in one of his happy quotations
'with milk and honey - it's his nevy!'
The Captain then withdrew to his former place
where he stood arranging his scattered locks with the air of a man who had given the finishing touch to a difficult performance.
When Walter ceased to speak
Mr Dombey's eyes were attracted to little Paul
who
seeing his sister hanging down her head and silently weeping in her miseration for the distress she had heard described
went over to her
and tried to fort her: looking at Walter and his father as he did so
with a very expressive face. After the momentary distraction of Captain Cuttle's address
which he regarded with lofty indifference
Mr Dombey again turned his eyes upon his son
and sat steadily regarding the child
for some moments
in silence.
--------①“流着牛奶与蜂蜜”原是圣经中形容肥沃的土地（巴勒斯坦）的话，船长用它来形容沃尔特年轻有为、前程远大。
