But nobody was more surprising than Dr Thorneycroft Huxtable.

但没有人比桑尼克罗夫特·赫克斯塔布尔博士更令人惊讶了。

And why does Dr Thorneycroft Huxtable come to ask for my help three days later? '

为什么三天后桑尼克罗夫特·赫克斯塔布尔医生来寻求我的帮助？

The soap-works with their smoke-vomiting chimneys were gone; the engineer's works gone; the lead-works gone; and no sound of rivetting and hammering came down the west wind from Thorneycroft's.

连着冒着烟的烟囱的肥皂厂都不见了； 工程师的作品不见了； 铅厂不见了； 没有铆钉和锤击的声音从桑尼克罗夫特的西风中传来。
