it was growing chill, and they had tired each other out. And she nestled up to him, feeling small and enfolded, and they both went to sleep at once, fast in one sleep. And so they lay and never moved, till the sun rose over the wood and day was beginning.

她默默垂泪，两人在壁炉前的地毯上倾倒，几番云雨后，才彻底平静下来。接着，两人即刻上床就寝，因为夜凉渐重，而且他们也被彼此折腾得疲惫不堪。她紧紧偎着他，显得那样小鸟依人，楚楚可怜。两人头刚挨枕，便沉沉睡去，进入梦乡。他们就这样静静地睡着，直到太阳爬上梢头，白昼再临大地。

Then he woke up and looked at the light. The curtains were drawn. He listened to the loud wild calling of blackbirds and thrushes in the wood. It would be a brilliant morning, about half past five, his hour for rising. He had slept so fast! It was such a new day! The woman was still curled asleep and tender. His hand moved on her, and she opened her blue wondering eyes, smiling unconsciously into his face.

他从沉睡中醒来，望着那亮光。窗帘并未放下。他倾听着林中清脆的鸟鸣，是乌鸫和画眉在唱和。准是个明媚的清晨，大约五点半，正是他平时起床的时间。昨夜，他睡得如此香甜！崭新的一天已经到来！女人依然蜷曲着，酣睡着，柔若无骨。他爱抚着她的身体，她睁开眼睛，蓝色的眸子闪烁着诧异的光芒，迷迷糊糊地对着他微笑。

"Fancy that I am here!" She said.

“真想不到我会来这儿！”她感叹道。

She looked round the whitewashed little bedroom with its sloping ceiling and gable window where the white curtains were closed. The room was bare save for a little yellow-painted chest of drawers, and a chair: and the smallish white bed in which she lay with him.

她环顾这间白色的小卧房，天花板是倾斜的，山墙的窗户上垂着白色的窗帘。房间陈设极少，只有一个黄漆的小衣柜，一把椅子，以及两人睡着的这张小白床。

"Fancy that we are here!" She said, looking down at him. He was lying watching her, stroking her breasts with his fingers, under the thin nightdress. When he was warm and smoothed out, he looked young and handsome. His eyes could look so warm. And she was fresh and young like a flower.

“想不到我们会在这儿！”她说着，低头望向他。他躺在床上，凝视着自己的爱侣，手指伸到薄若轻纱的睡衣下面，抚弄着她的酥胸。此刻他的身体温暖柔滑，样貌也显得青春洋溢，丰神俊朗。他的目光中充满温情。她娇艳得如同花朵。
