《小妇人》第15期_第3章 劳伦斯家的男孩(5)

　　Jo smiled．'All right，'she said．'Thank you．'
　　When the music stopped， they sat down and began to talk，but Jo saw Meg waving at her． She went over and followed her sister into a side room．
　　'I've turned my foot over and hurt my ankle，'said Meg．'I can't walk on it， and I don't know how I'm going to get home．'
　　'I'm not surprised you turned your foot over in those stupid high shoes，'said Jo．'You'll have to get a carriage or stay here all night．'
　　'A carriage will cost a lot，' said Meg，'and I can't stay here for the night because the house is full． I'll just rest until Hannah comes to fetch us，then do the best I can．'
　　'They're going in for supper now，'said Jo．'I'll stay with you．
　　'No，run and bring me some coffee，' said Meg．
　　Jo found the coffee， but immediately dropped some down the front of her dress． She was cleaning it off with Meg's glove when a friendly voice spoke to her．

琼笑了。“好吧，”她说，“谢谢。”
　　音乐停下的时候，他们坐下来开始聊天，可琼看见麦格在向她招手。她走过去，随姐姐走进旁边的一个房间。
　　“我的脚转得太多，脚踝都疼了，”麦格说，“我都不能走路了，真不知道该怎么回家。”
　　“你穿着那双蠢笨的高跟鞋，跳得过度我一点也不吃惊，”琼说，“你得要一辆马车，或者在这儿呆一晚上。”
　　“要辆马车会花好多钱，”麦格说。“我也不能在这儿呆一晚上，因为房间都住满了。我只好在海娜来接我们之前休息会儿，然后再想办法。”
　　“他们正进去吃晚饭，”琼说，“我陪着你。”
　　“不，快去给我弄些咖啡来，”麦格说。
　　琼找到了咖啡，可马上就洒到了裙子上。她正用麦格的手套擦拭时听到一个友好的声音在跟她讲话。
