5. 营救伯爵夫人|5. THE RESCUE OF THE COUNTESS

属类： 双语小说 【分类】双语小说 阅读：[6732]
要想在生活中取得成功，需要哪些条件?聪明、好看、善良、勤奋、诚实?或者仅仅只是运气好? 邓瑞·梅钦是个乐天派。当他遇到麻烦时，决不会认输言败，哭天抹泪。他会主动去寻找机会，一旦发现机会，便会牢牢把握。当然，幸运之神也很眷顾着他。幸运的是伯爵夫人打算办场舞会，可邓瑞是如何弄到请柬的呢?幸运的是科多林夫人跟邓瑞的老板起了争执，可邓瑞是如何成为科多林太太的收租人的呢?更幸运的是“亚尔马号”在兰迪德诺附近海域沉没——可邓瑞是如何从这件事上赚得1000英镑的?
邓瑞生活的小镇叫伯斯利。镇上的人们喜欢能让他们欢笑的年轻人。“他真是个传奇。”他们说。他们迫不及待地想知道他下一次的奇遇……
If you want to be successful in life, what do you need? Do you need to be clever, good-looking, kind, hard-working, honest? Or just lucky?
Denry Machin is a cheerful kind of fellow. When he meets a problem, he doesn't lie down and cry about it. He looks for a chance, and when he sees one, he takes it with both hands. He has a lot of luck too, of course. It's lucky that the Countess decides to give a ball, but how does Denry manage to get an invitation? It's lucky that Mrs Codleyn has an argument with Denry's employer, but how does Denry become Mrs Codleyn's rent collector? And it's very lucky indeed for Denry when the Hjalmar goes down in the sea off Llandudno – but how does Denry make a thousand pounds out of it?
The people of Bursley, the town where Denry lives, love a young man who makes them laugh. 'He's a real card,' they say. They can't wait to hear about his next adventure...

邓瑞的收租业务蒸蒸日上。他从兰迪德诺的那笔生意中赚到了1000英镑。两年后，他的资产已达到2000英镑。他的银行经理跟他说话时毕恭毕敬。邓瑞现在租了一间小办公室，雇了一名勤杂员。

1
-

他还买了一头骡子和一辆马车。他说这是出于工作需要。当然他也可以骑自行车去收租，自行车不吃东西，也不会跑掉。但邓瑞就是想要一头骡子。这对他的业务来说是一个好广告。

2
-

邓瑞很高兴现在人们把他的骡子当成他的“最新消息”来谈论，他也很高兴能赚到钱。但他想要的不只是金钱。他总在寻找新点子，总在找有意思的事情做——一些能保证他一直是五镇最伟大“传奇”的事情。

3
-

一天，一条新的告示贴在了邓瑞的门上：

4
-

五镇存款俱乐部

5
-

经理兼秘书——E.H.梅钦

6
-

五镇的很多店铺都有存款俱乐部。顾客每周向俱乐部交几个便士，圣诞节时他们便可以花掉他们在俱乐部的全部存款。邓瑞的想法是为五镇的所有店铺建立一个存款俱乐部。这是一个非常棒的想法。穷人只需每周交一点钱，而且为了简化手续，邓瑞可以上门收钱。邓瑞的存款俱乐部有个非常重要的与众不同之处：只要交给邓瑞的钱达到一英镑，便马上可在店里花掉两英镑——当然，人们必须每周继续往俱乐部交钱。

7
-

当然，邓瑞需要盈利，他的利润来自那些店铺。人们在店里每消费六便士，商店就得付给邓瑞一便士。他从五镇最大的服装店博斯托克斯店开始谈起。名单上一旦有了博斯托克斯店，再找其他店就容易多了。两周后他找到了将近一百家店铺。

8
-

现在他需要做点什么好让俱乐部有一个好的开端。邓瑞花25英镑就能在《信报》首页登个广告，但他更喜欢免费的广告。这时他想出个主意。他可以请切尔伯爵夫人做俱乐部的赞助人。她的名字应该是印在他信纸抬头上最好的名字了。她是五镇最富有的女人。有的人爱她，有的人恨她，但所有人都知道她。

9
-

“我要去问问她。我要请她做我的赞助人。”他心中暗想，“我要去斯尼德府。她不会吃了我的。”

10
-

于是一天早上，他来到切尔伯爵夫人的府第门口，没骑他的骡子。他以前曾去过斯尼德府，那里的花园对五镇居民开放。夏天的周日下午，那里常常聚集了数以百计的人。但今天花园都空无一人。

11
-

邓瑞在两旁遍植绿树的道路上走了长长一段，又上了长长的一段台阶才到门口。邓瑞按响门铃。门开了。

12
-

“什么事？”一个身穿黑衣的女士问。

13
-

“我能见伯爵夫人吗？”他问，顺手递给她名片。

14
-

“我去问问。”她说完便走进了房子，留下邓瑞一个人在大厅里。

15
-

过了片刻，他听到伯爵夫人的声音。

16
-

“哦，不行！我忙死了。我马上就得出门。”

17
-

邓瑞依然等着。没人来看他。几分钟过去了，还是没人来。他们把他忘了吗？随后，邓瑞从房子后面一扇开着的门望出去，看见了一个男人。那人叫乔克，是他母亲朋友的儿子。乔克在斯尼德府工作，替伯爵夫人赶车。

18
-

乔克不想隔着整间房子大声喊叫，因此他朝乔克走去。“乔克！”他轻声唤道。

19
-

乔克没听到，消失在另一扇门后。邓瑞跟着他，穿过一扇又一扇门，直到他突然发现自己置身于一个长长的大舞厅里，这里到处都是镜子、油画和贵重家具，房间一侧是高高的窗户，一侧是巨大的门。乔克不见了。邓瑞试着去敲那些大门，但所有的门都锁着。他回到他刚进来的那扇门，奇怪的是，那扇门现在也锁上了。接着他听到马嘶声，他跑到一扇窗前，看见伯爵夫人的马车驶走了。

20
-

邓瑞试着敲每一扇门，一开始是客气地敲，后来便大声地敲。他先是试着叫了几声，然后便放声大喊。没人应声。最终他意识到没有人会听到他的喊叫。他被囚禁在一所空房子里了。

21
-

他打量着房子四周，唯一可能的出路是打破一扇窗户，因此邓瑞选择等到晚上。他在斯尼德府巨大的舞厅里度过了一个长长的下午，欣赏那些油画和家具。夜晚来临，他打碎了一扇巨大的窗户，回到家里。五镇存款俱乐部没有等到伯爵夫人便开始了自己的业务。

22
-

第二天早上，邓瑞打开《信报》，突然觉得很不舒服。

23
-

斯尼德府抢劫案

24
-

昨日，窃贼闯进切尔伯爵夫人家斯尼德府的大舞厅。警方说未发现物品失窃。伯爵夫人（目前在意大利）将向提供窃贼信息的知情者支付20英镑酬劳。

25
-

邓瑞很幸运。这个抢劫案让镇上的人们谈论了几天，但好像没人记得邓瑞拜访过斯尼德府，也没人发现他的来访名片。由于没有物品失窃，警方也就不太关心。事实上，一两周之后，邓瑞发现可以利用一下这次冒险经历。那个漫长的午后，他一直呆在那个大舞厅里，他的眼睛也没闲着，记住了一切。很快，一篇署名邓瑞的文章出现在《信报》上。

26
-

最近发生在斯尼德府的抢劫案使我们有理由想起府里那些美丽的油画和家具。让人高兴的是，它们没有失窃。当然只有这个家庭的朋友曾见过这个大舞厅，但或许《信报》的读者想要了解一下这个精美的房间究竟是什么样子的……

27
-

大家自然都读到了这篇报道。人们都觉得，曾跟伯爵夫人跳过舞的邓瑞现在是这家人的好朋友。

28
-

存款俱乐部取得了极大成功；事实上，是太成功了。原因如下：顾客交了两英镑，就能在店里花四英镑。他们也的确毫不含糊地在店里花掉四英镑。而邓瑞就得付给那些店铺差额。顾客还在五便士、十便士地交着钱——但远不够邓瑞付给店铺的那些。邓瑞存在银行的2000英镑正在迅速地减少。不久，有传言说邓瑞著名的存款俱乐部运营不善，将要倒闭，到时所有人存在那里的钱都会打水漂。

29
-

邓瑞知道自己必须要做点什么——并且行动要迅速。他想到了伯爵夫人。

30
-

伯爵夫人非常擅长开设新机构。她开设的医院和学校遍布五镇。邓瑞从《信报》上得知她一周后要在汉布里奇开设一家新的警察俱乐部。俱乐部开张那天以及之前的一周发生了很多事情。有些人也许知道如何解释其中一部分情况。

31
-

那些情况是这样的：第一，一天邓瑞拜访了布鲁厄姆街的肯普太太。肯普太太是乔克的母亲。乔克是邓瑞的老朋友，也是伯爵夫人的车夫。第二，一两天后，乔克来看望他母亲，邓瑞也来了。邓瑞和乔克一起散了会儿步。第三，警察俱乐部开张的那天下午，伯爵夫人的车在从斯尼德府到汉布里奇的路上坏了一个轮子，此时离汉布里奇还有五公里。第四，大约五分钟后，邓瑞驾驶他的骡车，穿着最好的行头路过那里。第五，邓瑞路过时，乔克喊道：“打扰一下，先生！”邓瑞停了下来。情况就是这样。

32
-

“下午好，伯爵夫人。”邓瑞说，抬了抬自己的帽子。

33
-

“哦，是你啊！”伯爵夫人说，“下午好。”

34
-

“看来你们出了点小问题。”邓瑞说，“你们要去什么重要场合吗？”

35
-

“是的，我正去一个很重要的场合！ 我必须得在三点前到达警察俱乐部，但我赶不上了。现在已经晚了。”

36
-

“我能在三点前把你送到。”邓瑞说。

37
-

离汉布里奇还有五公里，17分钟后他们就到了。骡子以最快的速度前进着，但当他们进入主广场时，骡子突然停了下来。警察俱乐部外面聚集了几百个警察，他们正在恭候伯爵夫人的到来。

38
-

“哦，天哪！”邓瑞说，“它讨厌警察。”

39
-

“我走过去。”伯爵夫人说。

40
-

“哦，不。”邓瑞说，“没关系。”他用鞭子抽打骡子的头。骡子冲了出去，却偏离了警察俱乐部的方向。他们撞上了一辆装满蔬菜的马车，把对方撞翻了。然后，他们飞快冲下一座小山。随后伯爵夫人注意到邓瑞没有用自己的右臂。

41
-

“我想是撞上那辆车的时候把胳膊撞断的。”他说，“别担心。我准备把车朝这座山上赶——这会让它停下来。”

42
-

邓瑞设法使骡子走向伯奇斯街，这条街依山而上。骡子慢了下来，然后停住了。

43
-

“要不要我来把车赶到俱乐部去？”伯爵夫人问。她看得出邓瑞的胳膊很疼。

44
-

于是伯爵夫人坐着邓瑞的骡车到达了警察俱乐部。她邀请邓瑞参加了俱乐部的开幕式，并在开幕式上向五个镇长和五镇所有的头面人物讲述了邓瑞营救她的故事。

45
-

开幕式后，邓瑞和伯爵夫人一起离开了俱乐部，帮她找马车。但马车还没来。

46
-

“我可以驾我的车送你回家。”邓瑞主动提议到。

47
-

“我想我还是等等。”伯爵夫人说。

48
-

“好吧，我们一边喝茶一边等吧。”邓瑞说，“附近有个不错的茶馆。”

49
-

伯爵夫人很爱喝茶。没一会儿，他们就坐在了茶馆的一个角落里。伯爵夫人紧紧盯着邓瑞。

50
-

“你从哪里得知斯尼德府房间里的那些情况的？”她问。

51
-

这问题一问，后面的聊天变得精彩起来。

52
-

那天晚上《信报》上登出一条消息，称伯爵夫人现在是五镇存款俱乐部的赞助人。几天内，一千多人加入了俱乐部。邓瑞不用再担心钱的问题了。

53
-

Denry’s rent-collecting business grew and grew. He had come back from the Llandudno adventure with a thousand pounds. Two years later he had two thousand pounds, and his bank manager spoke to him with great politeness. Denry now rented a small office, and employed an office-boy.

He also bought a mule and cart. He said he needed them for his work. He could, of course, collect rents on a bicycle, and a bicycle doesn’t eat much, or run away. But Denry wanted a mule. It was a good advertisement for his business.

Denry was happy that people talked about the mule as his ’latest’, and he was happy to be making money. But he wanted more than money. He was always looking for new ideas, exciting things to do – things which would make sure that he was always the greatest ’card’ in the Five Towns.

Many shops in the Five Towns had savings clubs. Every week customers paid a few pence into the club. At Christmas the customers could spend all the money they had paid in. Denry’s idea was for a savings club for every shop in the Five Towns. It was a fantastic idea. A poor person could pay just a little money every week, and to make it easier, Denry could come to the house and collect the money. Denry’s savings club was special in one very important way. After paying a pound to Denry, someone could spend two pounds in the shops immediately – although they must then, of course, continue to pay into the club every week.

Denry needed to make a profit, of course, and his profit would come from the shops. For every six pence spent in a shop, the shop had to pay him one penny. He started by going to Bostocks, the biggest clothes shop in the Five Towns. With Bostocks’ name on the list it was easier to find other shops. In two weeks he had nearly a hundred.

Now he needed something to give the club a good start. For twenty-five pounds Denry could put an advertisement on the front page of the Signal, but he preferred free advertisements. Then he had an idea. He could ask the Countess of Chell to be the patron of his club. Hers was the best possible name to have at the top of his letter paper. She was the richest woman in the Five Towns. Some people loved her and some people hated her, but everybody knew her.

So one morning he arrived, without his mule, at the home of the Countess of Chell. He had been to Sneyd Hall before; the gardens were open to the people of the Five Towns, and there were often hundreds of people there on Sunday afternoons in summer. But today the gardens were empty.

Still Denry waited. Nobody came to see him. Minutes passed and still nothing. Had they forgotten him? Then, through an open door in the back of the house he saw a man. It was Jock, the son of a friend of his mother. Jock worked at Sneyd Hall, where he drove the Countess’s carriage.

Jock didn’t hear, and disappeared through another door. Denry followed, through door after door, until suddenly he found himself in a long ballroom, full of mirrors, paintings and rich furniture, with high windows to one side and big doors on the other. Jock had disappeared. Denry tried the big doors, but they were all locked. He went back to the door he had used to come into the room. But strangely, that was now locked as well. Then he heard horses outside, and running to a window, he saw the Countess’s carriage driving away.

Denry tried knocking on all the doors, first politely, then noisily. He tried calling out, then shouting as loudly as he could. Nothing. At last he realized that there was nobody to hear him. He was a prisoner in an empty house.

He looked around the room. The only possible escape was to break a window, so Denry preferred to wait until night. He spent a long afternoon in the great ballroom of Sneyd Hall, looking at pictures and furniture. When night fell, he broke one of the big windows and went home. The Five Towns Savings Club began life without the Countess.

Yesterday, thieves broke into the great ballroom at Sneyd, home of the Countess of Chell. The police say that nothing seems to be missing. The Countess(who is away in Italy) will pay twenty pounds for any information about the thieves.

Denry was lucky. The robbery was the talk of the town for a few days, but nobody, it seemed, had remembered his visit to Sneyd Hall, or found his visiting card. And because nothing was stolen, the police were not very interested. Indeed, a week or two later, Denry saw a chance to make something out of his adventure. All that long afternoon he had been in the great ballroom, and he had used his eyes well. He remembered everything. Soon, a report appeared in the Signal under Denry’s name. It began:

The recent robbery at Sneyd Hall gives us a reason to remember the beautiful paintings and furniture which it contains and which, happily, were not stolen. Only friends of the family, of course, ever see the great ballroom, but perhaps readers of the Signal will be interested to read a description of this fine room...

The Savings Club was a great success; in fact, it became too successful. The reason was this. When customers had paid in two pounds, they were allowed to spend four pounds in the shops. They did spend four pounds in the shops. And Denry had to pay the shops. Customers were still paying in their five pence and their ten pence – but that wasn’t enough to help Denry. His two thousand pounds in the bank was going very quickly. And then a whisper began to go round that Denry’s famous Savings Club was not healthy, that it was going to fail, and that everyone would lose their money.

The Countess was very good at opening things. She opened hospitals and schools all over the Five Towns, and Denry read in the Signal that she was going to open a new Police Club in Hanbridge in a week’s time. There are a number of facts about what happened on the day of the opening, and during the week before it. Some people may have ideas to explain some of these facts.

The facts are these. First: Denry called one day at the house of Mrs Kemp in Brougham Street. Mrs Kemp was the mother of Jock, Denry’s old friend and carriage-driver to the Countess. Second: a day or two later, Jock came to visit his mother, and Denry also came to visit. Denry and Jock went for a short walk together. Third: on the afternoon of the opening of the Police Club, the Countess’s carriage broke a wheel between Sneyd Hall and Hanbridge, about five kilometres from Hanbridge. Fourth: about five minutes later, Denry drove past in his mule cart, wearing his best clothes. Fifth: as Denry drove past, Jock called out, ’Excuse me, sir!’ and Denry stopped. These are the facts.

It was five kilometres to Hanbridge, and they were there in seventeen minutes. The mule was moving as fast as he could, but when they came into the main square, he stopped suddenly. There were several hundred policemen outside the Police Club, waiting for the Countess.

Oh no,’ said Denry. ’It’s all right.’ He hit the mule over the head with his whip. The mule dashed off, but away from the Police Club. They hit another cart, full of vegetables, and turned it over. They dashed down a hill, fast. Then the Countess noticed that Denry was not using his right arm.
