I'll show these scoundrels I'm an honest woman,said my mother.
我要让那些流氓知道，我是个诚实的女人，母亲说。

She began counting the money.

There were all kinds of gold coins in the bag-big French gold coins,

Spanish doubloons and pieces of eight.

It was slow work to find the English gold guineas that we needed.

We were half-way through when I heard a sound that filled my heart with fear;
钱才数了一半的时候，我听到一种可怕的声音，
the tap-tapping of the blind mans stick on the frozen road.
是那个瞎子用棍子探路的嗒嗒声。
Then it knocked against the inn door and we did not breathe.
接着我们听到棍子敲门的声音，我们屏住呼吸。
But then the tapping started again and slowly died away.

Mother,I said,take it all, and lets go before the blind man comes back with his friends.
妈妈，我说，把这些都拿上，我们得赶在瞎子和他的人到来之前逃走。
But my mother went on counting until we heard a low shout coming from the hill outside.
可是我母亲还是继续数钱。这时，从小山上传来一声很轻的呼哨。
I'll take what I have, she said, jumping to her feet.
我先把数好的钱拿走，她说，忽然跳起来。
