7 A strange story

Chapter 7 A strange story Harry and Anna were more confused than ever, but Edmund had no time for other questions. "I'm afraid I have to go," he said, "but I'll be back soon. You'll be safe here." And he set off, with a scarf wound tightly around his head.

哈利和安娜比以前更困惑了，但爱德蒙没有时间问别的问题。 “恐怕我得走了，”他说，“但我很快就会回来的。 你在这里很安全。”于是他出发了，头上紧紧围着一条围巾。

"Did you recognize him?" Harry asked Anna, when they were alone. "I'm sure I've seen him before." Anna shook her head. "He seems friendly though," she said. Suddenly, there was a knock on the window and a loud scream. They're alive! "Miss Charlotte?" Harry dashed to the door to let her in. "I thought you were dead," she cried, "I can't believe you're here!" Quickly, she told them what had happened at Mystery Mansion.

“你认出他来了吗？”当他们单独在一起时，哈利问安娜。 “我肯定我以前见过他。” 安娜摇了摇头。“不过他看起来很友好，”她说。 突然，有人敲窗户，然后是一声尖叫。 他们活着!“夏洛特小姐?”哈利冲到门口让她进来。 “我以为你死了，”她叫道，“我不敢相信你在这里！”她很快地告诉了他们在神秘公馆发生的事情。

In the middle of last night, she had been woken by Mr. Paulfrey shouting at the servants. Wake up everyone! "Listen all of you! Is anyone missing?" he had demanded. Harry Grubb is missing, sir. So is Anna Sargeant. Then, in the morning, Mr. Paulfrey announced that Harry and Anna had stolen a silver cup.

昨天半夜，她被保罗弗雷先生对仆人大喊大叫吵醒了。 大家醒醒！“你们都听好了！”有人失踪了吗？”他问。 哈利·格拉布不见了，先生。 安娜·萨金特也是。第二天早上，保罗弗雷先生宣布哈利和安娜偷了一个银杯。

He said they'd dropped the cup before drowning in the marshes. The thieves left this evidence. But we're not thieves! "Don't worry," said Charlotte. "My father will sort this out." Harry took a deep breath. "It's not as simple as that," he said. "I think your father and Paulfrey are up to something together."

他说他们在淹死沼泽之前把杯子掉了。 小偷留下了这些证据。 但我们不是小偷！“别担心，”夏洛说。 “我父亲会解决的。” 哈利深吸了一口气。“事情没那么简单，”他说。 “我觉得你爸爸和保罗弗雷在密谋什么。”
