04 David and his aunt(6)

And so they washed me，and gave me clean clothes and deli cious food．While I was eating，my aunt stared at me，occa sionally whispering‘Good heavens！’to herself．When she could see that I felt better，she asked me question after ques tion，and I told her the story of my life．
　　‘Good heavens！’she said again，when I had finished．‘Why did your poor mother marry again？What a terrible mis take！’
　　‘Perhaps she was in love，’suggested Mr Dick，smiling his rather foolish smile．
　　‘In love！’said Miss Betsey crossly．‘Perhaps the poor silly girl thought she was in love！But now，Mr Dick，another question．What should we do with the boy？’
　　‘Well—'said Mr Dick，thinking．Then an idea suddenly came to him．‘You should put him to bed！’
‘Thank you again，Mr Dick，for your common sense！’said my aunt happily．‘Janet，put the boy to bed！’
于是他们就为我洗澡，给我干净的衣服和美味的食物。我吃饭的时候，姨婆盯着我看，偶尔自叹一声“我的天！”。她见我感觉好些了就一个问题接一个问题地问我，我就把我的生活经历统统讲给她听。
　　“我的天！”我讲完后，她又说了一句，“你可怜的母亲为何要改嫁呢？她犯了个多大的错误呀！”
　　“或许是出于爱情，”迪克先生猜测道，嘴角挂着笨拙的笑容。
　　“爱情！”贝茜小姐愤愤地说道，“或许是因为这位可怜的傻女孩自己认为谈上了恋爱！但是，现在，迪克先生，另一个问题是，我们拿这个孩子怎么办？”
　　“嗯——”迪克先生思索着说道。然后，他突然想出了一个主意，“你应该带他上床睡觉！”
　　“再次感谢你，迪克先生，你真懂常理、知常情！”姨婆高兴地说道。
