After a moment Danielspoke.He looked suddenly much older.‘I wish I'd drownedhim when I had the chance!But it's too late now.There's no peace for me here while my dear girl is away.I'm going tolook for her,and bring her back home.Don't any of you tryto stop me!Ham,you must stay here in Yarmouth.Keep a light alwaysburning in the window of this house,so that if the poorgirl ever comes back,she can find her way home across the sand.I'm going toLondon,and France,and all over the world if necessary.I'm prepared tospend my whole life travelling until I find her.If anything happensto me,if I don't come back,tell her I forgive her—tell her my love for her is unchanged!’
过了一会儿,丹尼尔说话了,他突然像是苍老了许多。“要是有机会我会溺死他!但现在一切都晚了!我亲爱的孩子不在这儿了,我是不会安宁的。我要去找她,把她带回家。你们谁也别拦我!哈姆,你必须守在雅茅斯。让屋子窗户上永远亮一盏灯,这样,可怜的孩子一旦回来,也好让她穿过沙滩找到回家的路。我要去伦敦、法国,以至全世界,如果必要的话。要准备一辈子流浪下去,直到我找到她。要是我出了什么事,要是我回不来了,告诉她我原谅她——告诉她我对她的爱永远不变!”
