08 All play and no work(5)

　　Some days later，all four girls went on a picnic with Laurie and his tutor，Mr Brooke，and some other young people．Sallie Gardiner and her English friend，Miss Kate Vaughn，were among them．It was a sunny day and they had their picnic on a hill，under some trees．
　　After the meal，most of the young ladies and gentlemen played games，but Miss Kate sat under a tree and began to draw．Meg watched，while Mr Brooke lay on the grass beside her，with a book which he did not read．
　　'I wish I could draw，'said Meg．
　　'Why don't you learn？'replied Miss Kate．She was a little older than the other girls and was very much the fashionable young lady．
　　'I haven't time，'said Meg．'I have a job，teaching four children in a family．'
　　'Oh！'said Miss Kate，looking rather shocked．She said no more，but her face showed that she thought being a private teacher was little better than being a servant，and Meg's cheeks quickly became red．

几天之后，四个女孩子和罗瑞及他的家庭教师布鲁克先生，还有其他几个年轻人一起去野餐，萨丽•加迪那和她的英国朋友凯特•瓦格小姐也去了。那天阳光灿烂，他们在一个小山坡上的一些树下野餐。
　　餐后，大部分年轻姑娘和小伙子都去做游戏了，可凯特小姐却坐在一棵树下开始画画。麦格看着，布鲁克先生躺在她身旁的草地上，拿着一本书，但他并没有在看。
　　“真希望我会画画，”麦格说。
　　“你为什么不学呢？”凯特小姐问。她比其他的女孩稍大点，并且是最时髦的姑娘。
　　“我没时间，”麦格说，“我有工作，给一家四个孩子教课。”
　　“噢，”凯特小姐说，看上去很吃惊。她什么也没说，可从她脸上的表情可以看出她认为做家庭教师仅仅比做仆人好一些。麦格的脸很快变红了。
