13-PLEASE, LET ME FAINT IN PEACH!

PLEASE, LET ME FAINT IN PEACE! "I still don't understand how you convinced Count von Ratoff to let you stay," Thea remarked. "I mean, he doesn't exactly seem like Mr. Friendly Rat." More like Mr. Frightening, I thought. But I didn't say a word. They would just call me a scaredy mouse. "Old Ratoff doesn't know about my research," my cousin chuckled. "I just got myself hired as a cook. Which reminds me, tomorrow they'll be having a great ball here at the castle. I have to figure out the menu. The count and his niece have unusual tastes. They cannot stand garlic, but they love all kinds of insects! Strange, huh? I don't ask. I

请让我安静地昏倒吧!“我还是不明白你是怎么说服冯·拉托夫伯爵让你留下来的。”西娅说。 “我是说，他看起来可不像友好的鼠先生。” 我想，更像吓人先生。 但我一句话也没说。他们会叫我胆小鬼。 “老拉托夫不知道我的研究，”我表姐笑着说。 “我刚找到一份厨师的工作。 这倒提醒了我，明天他们会在城堡里举行一场盛大的舞会。 我得弄清楚菜单。 伯爵和他的侄女有不同寻常的嗜好。 他们不能忍受大蒜，但他们喜欢各种昆虫!奇怪,是吧? 我不会问的。我

just cook. Maybe I should make a nice BLOODSUCKER'S PE, with my hearty BLOOD SAUSAGE filling," Trap said thoughtfully. "A creamy BLOOD PUDDING would make a tasty dessert. What do you think, Cousin?" My head was beginning to spin. "Gee, Gerster, you're looking paler by the minute," Trap said. "You look like you just gave ten pints of BLOOD down at the sick mouse clinic." I closed my eyes. Maybe if I wished really hard, my cousin would disappear into thin air. I opened my eyes. No luck. he was still staring at me as if I were some silly mouse science experiment. "Ugh! stop talking about BLOOD. Can't

只是做饭。也许我应该用我那丰盛的血肠做一个不错的吸血鬼PE，”特拉普若有所思地说。 奶油血布丁是一道美味的甜点。 你觉得怎么样，表哥?”我开始头晕目眩。 “哎呀，格斯特，你脸色越来越苍白了，”特拉普说。 “你看起来好像刚在病鼠诊所捐了十品脱血。” 我闭上眼睛。也许如果我真地许愿，我的堂兄就会消失得无影无踪。 我睁开眼睛。没有运气。 他仍然盯着我，好像我是一个愚蠢的科学实验老鼠。 “哎!别再谈血了。 不能

you see it upsets me?" I whispered. Trap snorted. "Heys don't blame me if you've got high BLOOD pressure. I'm not trying to burst your BLOOD vessels. I was just talking about my menu. After all, I'm a BLUE-BLOODED mouse now, you know. I don't have time for silly games." I began to see Stars. No, I'm not talking about movie stars. Then I blacked out. Suddenly, my sister was squeaking in my ear. "Geronimo! Take a deep breath!" she screeched, gently slapping my snout. My cousin leaped to my side and began smacking me hard on the other cheek. My eyes popped open. I glared at Trap. "Please, please, please, just let me faint in peace," I begged.

你看，这使我心烦意乱。”我低声说。 陷阱哼了一声。“嘿，如果你有高血压，不要怪我。 我不是想让你的血管破裂。 我只是在说我的菜单。 毕竟，我现在是一只纯种老鼠了。 我没有时间玩愚蠢的游戏。” 我开始看到星星。不，我说的不是电影明星。 然后我昏过去了。突然，我妹妹在我耳边吱吱叫。 “Geronimo !深呼吸!”她尖叫着，轻轻地拍了拍我的鼻子。 表妹跳到我身边，开始重重地打我另一边的脸。 我的眼睛突然睁开了。我怒视着特拉普。 “求求你，求求你，求求你，就让我安静地昏倒吧，”我恳求道。
