Oliver starts another life (2)

 

As soon as the doctor arrived, he ran breathlessly into the house and burst into the room without knocking . He was clearly a good friend of the ladies.

 

'I never heard of such a dreadful thing ! You should both be dead of fright ! ' he said to Mrs Maylie . 'In the silence of the night , too! Are you both all right? Why didn't you send for me at once?'

 

'We are quite all right ,' said Rose , smiling . 'But there's an injured boy upstairs whom aunt wants you to see.'

 

Dr Losberne went up to examine Oliver , and was ther for some time. He came down looking rather puzzled, and asked the two ladies to see the boy with him.

 

'I can promise you there's nothing very frightening about him, ' he said.

 

Instedad of the evil-looking robber they expected to see, the two ladies found only a pale, thin child , lying peacefully asleep.

“我们倒是好好的没事”，罗斯微笑着说，“不过楼上有个受了伤的男孩子，姑姑想请您来看看。”

 

罗期限伯恩医生上楼去看奥利弗，待了好一阵子。他满脸迷惑不解地走下来，请两位女士一起上复查看看那孩子。

 

“我肯定这孩子没有什么可怕的，” 他说。

 

这两位妇女看到的不是一个相貌可怕的盗贼，而是一个花白、瘦弱的孩子，躺在那儿安静地睡着。
