Chapter 7

CHAPTER SEVEN That evening the Five sat by the fireplace. George gave Timmy a hug and ruffled his ears. 'You were very good today, she said. 'You stopped us from making a mistake about an innocent person.'

第七章那天晚上，五个人坐在壁炉旁。 乔治给了蒂米一个拥抱，揉了揉他的耳朵。 “你今天表现得很好，”她说。 “你阻止了我们对一个无辜的人犯错误。”

'Us?' Dick echoed. 'Er, I think it was you and Julian. Anne and I didn't say anything. George scowled. 'You didn't stop us.' 'We couldn't have even if we'd wanted to, Dick shot back.

'Mrs Patel sent you some of the scones with cream and strawberry jam as a thank-you for solving the mystery of the missing lid, she said. 'Hurray!' Dick shouted.

“我们?”迪克回荡。“呃，我想是你和朱利安。 安妮和我什么也没说。 乔治皱起了眉头。“你没有阻止我们。“即使我们想要，我们也做不到，”迪克反驳道。 范妮姨妈走了进来，端着一盘烤饼和一些热牛奶。 她说：“帕特尔太太送给你一些奶油和草莓果酱的烤饼，以感谢你解开丢失盖子的谜团。” “加油!”迪克喊道。

They tucked into the scones and licked the cream and jam from their lips with joy. Even Timmy was allowed to have one. 'This is the perfect ending to the day, said Dick, as berry-red jam dripped from his spoon on to his pyjama top.

他们狼吞虎咽地吃着司康饼，高兴地舔着嘴唇上的奶油和果酱。 就连提米也被允许有一个。 “这是今天的完美结局，”迪克说，红莓果酱从他的勺子上滴到了他的睡衣上。

Anne rolled her eyes. Timmy agreed. 'Woof!'

安妮翻了个白眼。提米同意了。 “汪!”
