可以在房里自由自在地飛來飛去,把家具和墊子上弄得到處都是白色的小點(diǎn)。有一次,苔絲站在掛著一排鳥籠子的窗戶像往常一樣教小鳥兒唱歌時(shí),她覺得她聽見床后有一種細(xì)小的摩擦聲。那個(gè)老太太當(dāng)時(shí)不在,姑娘轉(zhuǎn)過身去,在她的印象中好像看見帳沿下有一雙靴子的尖頭。因此,她吹的口哨立刻就亂了調(diào)子,如果真的有人的話,那么那個(gè)人也肯定發(fā)現(xiàn)苔絲懷疑到他的存在了。自此以后,她每天早晨都要搜查一遍帳子,但是從來沒有發(fā)現(xiàn)有人在那兒。顯然阿歷克·德貝維爾已經(jīng)完全想到了他的怪誕行為,如果他用那種埋伏的把戲,肯定要把苔絲嚇壞的。[/cn] [cn]①石碑上雕刻的急躁女神(like Impatience on a monument),可參考莎士比亞《第十二夜》第二幕第四場第113頁“她坐在那兒,就像石碑上雕刻的忍耐女神”(She sat like a Patience on a monument)一句。[/cn]
