One fact which has not been explained is the statement of Barrymore that his master's footprints altered their character from the time that he passed the moor-gate, and that he appeared from thence onward to have been walking upon his toes.

有一件尚未得到解释的事实就是：白瑞摩说，他主人的足迹在过了通往沼地的栅门后就变了样，好象是从那以后就换用足尖走路了。

My nerves tingled with the sense of adventure. Throwing aside my cigarette, I closed my hand upon the butt of my revolver and, walking swiftly up to the door, I looked in. The place was empty.

When the butler had gone I walked over to the black window, and I looked through a blurred pane at the driving clouds and at the tossing outline of the wind-swept trees.

管事的走了以后，我透过模糊的窗玻璃，望着外面奔驰的云朵，和那被大风横扫的树顶联成的高低不一的轮廓线。

She was stronger, she could walk better, and iii the wood the wind would not be so tiring as it was across the bark, flatten against her.

她现在更有气力了， 走起路来也更轻快了， 树林里的风， 不象花园里的风那么紧吹着她而使人疲乏。
