"Well, I did what she said, Mr. Holmes, and I carried the bird all the way to Kilburn.

"就這樣，我照我姐姐說的做了，福爾摩斯先生，于是我?guī)е@只鵝一路跑到基爾伯恩。

I told my pal what I had done, for he was a man that it was easy to tell a thing like that to.

我把我所做的一切都告訴了我的伙伴，因?yàn)樗且粋€(gè)可以將此類事情推心置腹地相告的人。

He laughed until he choked, and we got a knife and opened the goose.

他樂得喘不上氣來。我們持刀將鵝開了膛。

My heart turned to water, for there was no sign of the stone, and I knew that some terrible mistake had occurred.

我的心一下子涼了半截，因?yàn)猷寄依锔緵]有藍(lán)寶石的蹤影，我知道一定發(fā)生了什么很糟糕的差錯(cuò)。

I left the bird, rushed back to my sister's, and hurried into the back yard.

我置鵝于不顧，急步奔向我姐姐家里，匆匆走進(jìn)了后院。

There was not a bird to be seen there.

但是那里已經(jīng)一只鵝也不見了。"

"'Where are they all, Maggie?' I cried.

我喊道：'麥琪，那些鵝都到哪里去了？'

"'Gone to the dealer's, Jem.'

"'已經(jīng)送到經(jīng)銷店去了，杰姆。'

"'Which dealer's?' "'Breckinridge, of Covent Garden.'

"'哪家經(jīng)銷店？'"'考文特園的布萊肯里奇。'

"'But was there another with a barred tail?' I asked, 'the same as the one I chose?'

"'其中是否有一只尾巴帶有黑道的鵝？和我挑選的那只一樣的？'我問道。

"'Yes, Jem; there were two barred-tailed ones, and I could never tell them apart.'

"'有的，杰姆，一共有兩只尾巴帶黑道的鵝，連我都分不清它們。'
