Chapter 15

Chapter 15 Princess Magnolia minced into her tower room. "So sorry to keep you waiting," said Princess Magnolia. "All the birds are well and properly tweeting." Duchess Wigtower took a long sip of cold hot chocolate. She smiled.

第十五章白玉兰公主摇摇晃晃地走进她的塔楼房间。 “很抱歉让你久等了。”木兰公主说。 “所有的鸟都在叽叽喳喳地叫着。” 公爵夫人威格托尔喝了一口冰凉的热巧克力。 她笑了。

"While you were gone, I toured your castle," said the duchess. Princess Magnolia froze. "You did?"

“你不在的时候，我参观了你的城堡，”公爵夫人说。 木兰公主僵住了。“你做的?”

"Mm-hm," said the duchess. "And I discovered something in the broom closet." Princess Magnolia gulped. "You did?" "Yes," said the duchess. "These black stockings. I uncovered your secret!" Princess Magnolia gasped. "You did?"

“嗯，”公爵夫人说。 “我在扫帚间里发现了一些东西。” 木兰公主咽了口气。“你做的?”“是的，”公爵夫人说。 “这些黑袜子。我揭开了你的秘密!”木兰公主倒吸了一口气。 “你做的?”

"Princess Magnolia, these white stockings are so filthy, they've turned as black as coal! You really must wash them. Everyone knows princesses don't wear black." "Of course not!" said Princess Magnolia. "How clever of you." Princess Magnolia smiled. She knew at least one princess who did wear black. But that would remain her secret.

“木兰公主，这些白袜子太脏了，都黑得像煤了!”你真的该洗了。 每个人都知道公主不穿黑色。” “当然不会!”木兰公主说。 “你真聪明。”木兰公主笑了。 她知道至少有一位公主是穿黑色衣服的。 但这仍是她的秘密。
