Allgood Newton paused again and his blue eyes twinkled.

奥尔古德·牛顿又停了一会儿，两只蓝眼睛亮闪闪的。

" You're wonderful, Allgood, " said Mrs. Barton Trafford.

" 你真行，奥尔古德，" 巴顿·特拉福德太太说。

" Perhaps it would be better if you told him the facts, Allgood, " said Mrs. Trafford.

" 也许还是由你来把事情经过和他说一下的好，奥尔古德，" 特拉福德太太说。

Mrs. Barton Trafford looked from Allgood Newton to her husband and back again as though mutely demanding their help.

巴顿·特拉福德太太看看奥尔古德·牛顿，又看看她丈夫，随后又回转脸看看牛顿，仿佛默默地要他们帮助。

At this rate I thought Allgood Newton would never finish his story and Mrs. Hudson would be vexed with me for turning up to dinner half an hour late.

照这种速度讲下去，我想奥尔古德·牛顿永远都讲不完他的故事，而如果我晚半小时回去吃饭的话，我的房东赫德森太太一定会对我很恼火。

" Do you know Allgood Newton" ? asked Mrs. Barton Trafford, with a gesture toward a man who had been sitting in a big armchair when I was shown in, and now got up. " I expect you've met him at Edward's" .

" 你认识奥尔古德·牛顿吗？" 巴顿·特拉福德太太指着一个人问道。 我进去的时候这个人正坐在一把宽大的扶手椅中，这时他站了起来。 " 我想你在爱德华家里见过他。"
