15 Miles the Impostor

CHAPTER 15 Miles the Impostor E dward and Miles sat in the front room of Hendon Hall thinking about their next move. Or rather, Miles was thinking about what to do next. Edward was beginning to wonder why no one was searching for him. "They must have realized by now that a fraud is living in the palace," Edward said. "Why has no one come for me?"

第十五章骗子迈尔斯爱德华和迈尔斯坐在亨顿府的前厅里，考虑着下一步的行动。 或者更确切地说，迈尔斯在考虑下一步该做什么。 爱德华开始纳闷为什么没人找他。 “他们现在一定已经意识到宫殿里住着一个骗子，”爱德华说。 “为什么没有人来接我？”

There was a light tap on the door, and Edith entered the room. Miles sprang forward to greet her, but she held her hand up slightly. Miles stopped in his tracks. She was still beautiful but very sad. "I have come to warn you," she said. Her voice was quiet and she turned to look behind her several times. "My husband is master of this region. He has power over everything and everyone." She paused for a moment. "He always gets his way." Miles ignored her comments. "Don't you recognize me, Edith? Don't you see that I am Miles?" She swallowed and took a deep breath. She could not look him in the eye. "I can only warn you. You must escape. You must leave now." "I will not leave my home again," Miles said firmly.

有人轻轻地敲了敲门，伊迪丝走进了房间。 迈尔斯跳上前去迎接她，但她轻轻地举起了手。 迈尔斯停住了脚步。 她仍然很漂亮，但很悲伤。 “我是来警告你的，”她说。 她的声音很平静，几次回头看了看身后。 “我丈夫是这个地区的主人。 他对每件事、每一个人都有权力。” 她停了一会儿。“他总是为所欲为。” 迈尔斯没有理会她的话。 “你不认识我了吗，伊迪丝？” 难道你看不出我就是迈尔斯吗？”她咽了口气，深吸了一口气。 她不敢直视他的眼睛。 “我只能警告你。你必须逃跑。 你现在必须离开。”“我不会再离开我的家了，”迈尔斯坚定地说。

"Don't you understand?" Her cheeks were red and she was breathing heavily. "This is not your home anymore. My husband is a tyrant. You are not safe here." She turned to look behind her again. "None of us are truly safe here." "You ask me to leave after saying something like that? Are you worried that he will hurt you?" Miles moved closer, but she

“你不明白吗？”她两颊通红，呼吸急促。 “这里不再是你的家了。 我丈夫是个暴君。你在这里不安全。” 她又回头看了看身后。 “我们在这里没有人是真正安全的。” “你说了那样的话就叫我离开？” 你担心他会伤害你吗？”迈尔斯走近了，但她

stopped him again with a wave of her hand. "Please take this money. It will help you on your travels." She held a purse toward him. "Do one favor for me," Miles said. "Look me in the eye just once. Look me in the eye, and say you do not recognize me." At that moment, the door burst open. Several servants rushed into the room and grabbed the two visitors. After a terrible struggle, Miles was overpowered. He and Edward were dragged away and thrown into prison.

她一挥手，又拦住了他。 “请收下这笔钱。这对你的旅行很有帮助。” 她向他拿了一个钱包。 “帮我一个忙，”迈尔斯说。 看着我的眼睛，就一次。 看着我的眼睛，说你不认识我。” 正在这时，门突然开了。 几个仆人冲进房间，抓住了两位客人。 经过一番激烈的斗争，迈尔斯被制服了。 他和爱德华被拖走扔进了监狱。
