I met her several times, became engaged to her, and have now married her."

"She brought, I understand, a considerable dowry?"
"我听说她带来了一份相当可观的嫁妆？"
"A fair dowry. Not more than is usual in my family."

"我确实没有去过问这件事。"
"Very naturally not. Did you see Miss Doran on the day before the wedding?" "Yes."

"Well, to tell the truth, I saw then the first signs that I had ever seen that her temper was just a little sharp.
"啊，老实说，这时候我看到了我从前没有看见过的第一个迹象。她的脾气有些急躁。
The incident, however, was too trivial to relate and can have no possible bearing upon the case."
不过那是件小事，不值一提，并且不可能与这个案件有什么关系。"
"Pray let us have it, for all that."
"尽管这样，还是请你讲讲。"
