We left at night. One of Cluny’s men guidedus. He carried our bundles and Alan ’s overcoat.
He took us first across Loch Ertocht to anotherplace of shelter.
我們在那天夜裏離開了。克盧尼手下一個人給我們領路，他扛著我們的幾個包袱和艾倫的大衣。他首先帶我們越過埃洛特灣，向另一個藏身之地走去。
I was still weak from my fever. For a longtime，we marched in silence. I was angry andproud； Alan was angry and ashamed，He was ashamedbecause he had lost my money； he was angrybecause I was angry with him.
我剛發過高燒，身體仍然很虛弱。我們默默地向前走著，好長時間誰也沒有說句話。我是因為生氣和高傲不開口； 艾倫卻是又生氣，又羞愧。他感到羞愧是因為把我的錢輸了； 感到生氣是因為我生了他的氣。
I thought I ought to separate from him. Whydid not Alan say，“Go，my compa ny is a d a nge r toyou？”I knew he loved me. I could not say to him，“You a re in g re a t da n ge r，but I am not. You mus t goa lone .”
我心想找應該和艾倫分手了。
艾倫為什麼不說“你走吧，跟我一起對你危險”呢？我知道他愛我，不忍心對他_說；“你的處境非常危險，我可不然，你不要和我一道走了。”
And Alan had behaved like a bad child. Hehad borrowed my money from me when I had a fever.
I had to beg it back. Now he had not a penny
而且艾倫象一個淘氣的孩子一樣，在我發高燒的時候借走了我的錢，使我不得不低三下四地向人家
in his own pocket，and had to depend on me.
要回來。現在他身無分文，隻得依靠我了。
I was ashamed of my thoughts，and I saidnothing.
我自己這麼想感到慚愧，所以什麼話也沒有講。
At last Alan could not bear the silence.
後來，艾倫憋不住了，說；“Da vid，”he said，“two frie nds ought not to qua rrel ove r a sma ll a cc ide nt. I mus t s a y I’m s orry. If youha ve to s a y a nything a bout it，s a y it now.”
“大衛，兩個朋友不應該為一件小事爭爭吵吵。我得讓你知道。我對不起你。你要是還有什麼話要說，就直說吧。”
“Oh ，”I said，“I ha ve nothing . ”Alan ’s voicetrembled.“But I ha ve a pologize d，Da vid .”
我 說：“哦，我沒有什麼可說的。”艾倫的聲音顫抖著說。“可我已經向你道歉了，大衛。”
“I ha ve not b lame d you，”I said. My voice wascold.
“我沒有怪你。”我冷冰冰地說。
“Mus t we pa rt？”he asked.“You s a id th a t oncebe fore ，Will you s a y it a ga in ？I will not s ta y if you donot wa n t me .”
