After failing to recognize Olive in her transmuted condition, Nameless continued his inspection of the stable.无名者没认出变形后的奥利芙，继续检查马厩。1
He searched methodically in grim silence, slamming each stall door a little harder than the last.他阴沉地一言不发，有条不紊地搜查着，每扇隔间门都比上一扇摔得更重。2
Olive could sense the anger and frustration building in him.奥利芙能感觉到，他心中的愤怒与挫败感正不断加剧。3
Pulling a needle-thin dagger from his belt, he jabbed it into any bag of grain or stack of hay large enough to hide a halfling.他从腰带上抽出一把细如针尖的匕首，见到任何足以藏下一个半身人的粮袋或草垛，便一刀刺进去。4
Finally, when Olive began trembling at the thought that he might study her bestial form more carefully and realize he had her at his mercy, she heard the sound of someone unbolting the stable’s front door.终于，就在奥利芙想到他或许会更仔细地端详自己的兽形、意识到她已任他摆布而开始发抖时，她听见有人正在拔开马厩前门的门闩。5
Nameless cursed and began muttering another spell.无名者咒骂一声，又开始低声念起一道咒语。6
The stable door opened, and a young woman carrying a lantern strode in.马厩门打开了，一个提着灯笼的年轻女人大步走了进来。7
Olive recognized her as Lizzy Thorpe, the stable’s owner.奥利芙认出她是马厩的主人莉齐·索普。8
Whether Lizzy was aroused by the noise or was just checking on the animals wasn’t clear, but when she spotted the cloaked figure in her stable without permission, she gave a shout.莉齐究竟是被动静惊醒了，还是只来查看牲口，并不清楚；但她一发现那个未经许可便闯入马厩的斗篷人影，立刻大喊起来。9
The cloaked figure vanished.斗篷人影消失了。10
Lizzy ran out, still shouting for help.莉齐跑了出去，嘴里仍在大声呼救。11
Olive noticed a peculiar churning of straw where Nameless had stood, and it moved down the center aisle to the stable’s front door.奥利芙注意到，无名者刚才站立之处的稻草古怪地翻动起来，并沿着中央过道移向马厩前门。12
Olive also sensed the floorboards shift slightly and heard them creak from the weight of a human.奥利芙还感觉到地板微微下沉，听见木板在人类体重的压迫下吱呀作响。13
He’s gone invisible, she realized, but at least he’s leaving.他隐形了，她恍然明白，不过至少他正要离开。14
Lizzy returned less than a minute later with two of the night watch.不到一分钟，莉齐便带着两名巡夜守卫回来了。15
“He was standing right there when I came in,” she told them, pointing to where the cloaked figure had turned invisible.“我进来时，他就站在那儿，”她告诉他们，同时指向斗篷人影隐形的地方。16
Lizzy and the watchmen began to search the barn as methodically as Nameless had, though without his intense desperation.莉齐和守卫们开始像无名者刚才那样有条不紊地搜查马厩，不过并没有他那般强烈的绝望。17
Still hiding behind the sacks of grain, Olive heard Lizzy cry out, “Look what he’s done to my wall.奥利芙仍躲在粮袋后面，只听莉齐惊叫道：“瞧瞧他把我的墙弄成什么样了。18
Left a bloody huge hole in it, big enough to ride a paladin’s mount through!”留下了一个该死的大洞，大得足够让圣武士骑着坐骑穿过去！”19
The two guards made their way back to Snake Eyes’s stall.两名守卫一路来到蛇眼的隔间。20
“Wood’s just vanished, edges left smooth as butter cut with a hot knife,” the older night watchman noted.“木头就这么消失了，边缘光滑得像用热刀切过的黄油，”年长的巡夜守卫说道。21
“Looks like mage work to me.“依我看，这是法师的手笔。22
If it is magic, it’ll fade, and you’ll get your wall back, probably in an hour or two.”如果真是魔法，效力迟早会消退，你的墙也会恢复原状，大概一两个小时就行。”23
“You’re lucky this pony had the good sense to stay put,” the other watchman said.“幸好这匹小马还算懂事，乖乖待在原地，”另一名守卫说道。24
“Any horses missing, Lizzy?”“有马不见了吗，莉齐？”25
Before Lizzy noticed the addition of one small donkey to her stable, Olive snatched up Giogioni Wyvernspur’s purse in her teeth and slipped quietly out the open stable door.趁莉齐还没注意到马厩里多了一头小毛驴，奥利芙一口叼起乔吉奥尼·飞龙刺的钱袋，悄无声息地溜出了敞开的马厩门。26
The halfling waited what seemed an eternity for Giogi to come out of the Immer Inn.半身人等着乔吉从伊默旅店出来，感觉仿佛等了一个世纪。27
Olive wondered if she were succeeding at hiding in shadows in her new four-legged configuration or if the people passing by simply weren’t keen on donkey-snaring this late at night.奥利芙不知道，自己如今变成了四条腿的新模样，究竟是否成功藏进了阴影里，还是路人只因夜色已深，根本无心捉驴。28
Whichever was the case, no one approached her.不管是哪种情况，始终没人靠近她。29
For a while she savored the irony that the noble’s cursed purse had saved her life, but as the hour grew later and the night colder, she became annoyed.有一阵子，她细细品味着其中的讽刺意味：那贵族受了诅咒的钱袋竟救了她一命；可随着夜色渐深、寒意渐重，她开始恼火起来。30
Now that she was no longer in immediate danger, her situation appalled her.眼下既然不再有迫在眉睫的危险，她的处境便令她惊骇不已。31
By the time the young Wyvernspur finally emerged from the Immer Inn and wobbled down the street, she slunk after him, feeling considerable animosity.等年轻的飞龙刺终于从伊默旅店里出来，摇摇晃晃地走上街时，她满怀敌意，蹑手蹑脚地跟在了他身后。32
She realized, however, that the streets were too open for a confrontation and that she would have to follow him home.不过，她意识到街道太过空旷，不适合当面对质，只好一路跟他回家。33
Unfortunately, Giogi seemed to have no interest in going back.不幸的是，乔吉似乎根本没有回去的意思。34
He wandered along the lakefront.他沿着湖滨漫无目的地闲逛。35
Then the sound of music from the Five Fine Fish attracted his attention.随后，五条好鱼旅店里传来的乐声吸引了他的注意。36
He hurried over to the inn and disappeared inside.他快步赶到那家旅店，消失在门里。37
Olive imagined with longing the fish and chips and ale the Fish served, but apparently the same things did not interest Giogi.奥利芙满怀渴望地想象着五条好鱼供应的炸鱼薯条和麦酒，但乔吉显然对这些东西不感兴趣。38
He came out only a few minutes later and wandered over to the market green and began talking to one of the stone bandits.仅仅几分钟后，他便走了出来，晃悠到集市草坪上，开始和一个石头强盗说话。39
That’s just great, Olive thought sarcastically.这可真是太好了，奥利芙讥讽地想。40
My fate is in the hands of a man who talks to statues.我的命运竟掌握在一个会跟雕像说话的男人手里。41
She hung back in the shadows, and she was glad she had, for just as the fop began serenading the statue—with another one of her compositions—Samtavan Sudacar came out from the Fish and called out to him.她留在阴影中，远远地没有上前，而她也很庆幸自己这么做了，因为那个花花公子刚开始对雕像唱起小夜曲——唱的又是她创作的一首歌——萨姆塔万·苏达卡便从五条好鱼里走出来，扬声叫住了他。42
The local lord had never shown Olive anything but the utmost courtesy when she entertained in the Fish.奥利芙在五条好鱼献艺时，这位当地领主一向对她礼遇有加。43
There was something about Sudacar’s thoughtful gaze, though, that convinced Olive he suspected her of something.然而，苏达卡若有所思的目光中有某种东西，让奥利芙确信他在怀疑她做过什么。44
It wouldn’t do to be seen holding Giogi’s purse in her teeth, even if she were an ass.哪怕她如今是头驴，也绝不能让人看见她嘴里叼着乔吉的钱袋。45
Sudacar talked Giogi into re-entering the Fish, and Olive was forced to wait for a second eternity before they came out again.苏达卡说服乔吉重新进了鱼馆，奥利芙只得又等了仿佛一个世纪那么久，才见他们再次出来。46
They were the last patrons to leave the inn, and Lem locked the door behind them when they left.他们是最后离开旅店的客人；他们走后，莱姆便锁上了门。47
The moon had begun its descent as they crossed the market square to the statue of Azoun III.他们穿过集市广场，走向阿祖恩三世的雕像时，月亮已经开始西沉。48
They lingered, chatting, beside the stone carving.他们在石雕旁流连了一阵，闲聊不休。49
Olive considered creeping closer to eavesdrop on their conversation, but she was still wary of Sudacar.奥利芙考虑过悄悄靠近，偷听他们的谈话，但她仍对苏达卡心存戒备。50
Finally, the local lord left Giogi and strolled south.最后，这位本地领主告别乔吉，信步向南走去。51
Giogi watched Sudacar walk away, then headed west.乔吉目送苏达卡离去，随后转身向西。52
Olive, her spirit by now burning with a righteous wrath, trotted after the long-legged Cormyte, her hooves clattering on the cobblestones.此时，满腔义愤已在奥利芙心中熊熊燃烧；她小跑着追上那个长腿的科米尔人，蹄子踩在鹅卵石路面上，嗒嗒作响。53
She no longer bothered to avoid his detection.她已经懒得再躲着，不让他发现了。54
She was determined to give the Immersea fop a healthy piece of her mind.她下定决心，要狠狠数落这个伊默海的纨绔子弟一顿。55
“Only an irresponsible, thoughtless fool,” she planned to say, “would leave a cursed purse lying in the gutter where it would be found by some poor, defenseless halfling,” namely herself.她打算说：“只有不负责任、没脑子的蠢货，才会把一只受了诅咒的钱袋扔在阴沟里，等着某个可怜又毫无防备的半身人捡到。”那个半身人，当然就是她自己。56
First, though, she had to get him to change her back into the lovely, talented halfling she’d been born and bred to be.不过，她首先得让他把自己变回那个她生来便是的可爱又有才华的半身人。57
Giogi stopped in front of a large, well-kept townhouse surrounded by a high iron fence.乔吉在一栋宽敞整洁的联排宅邸前停了下来，宅子四周围着高高的铁栅栏。58
The noble hummed to himself as he fumbled with the gate latch and pushed his way into the front yard.这位贵族一边自顾自地哼着小曲，一边笨手笨脚地摆弄门闩，随后推开门，走进了前院。59
Before the gate could close, Olive nudged her way through, right behind the oblivious Giogioni.不等大门合上，奥利芙便挤了进去，紧跟在毫无察觉的乔吉奥尼身后。60
The gate swung shut behind her, its latch engaging with a sharp clang.铁门在她身后荡回原位，门闩“咣当”一声扣上了。61
Olive found herself in a small, formal garden.奥利芙发现自己身处一座小巧规整的花园。62
Straw mulch covered the square, raised beds and dormant vine stalks clung to wooden trellises along the path to the front door.方形的高畦上覆盖着稻草护根；通往前门的小径两旁，一株株休眠的藤蔓攀附在木架上。63
The sight of the dead garden in the moonlight gave Olive the shivers.月光下这座枯败花园的景象令奥利芙不寒而栗。64
It’s time, she decided, to announce myself.是时候了，她心想，该让他知道我在这儿了。65
Olive opened her mouth so Giogi’s sack of coins fell with a clink, and she gave a loud, annoyed bray.奥利芙张开嘴，让乔吉的钱袋叮当一声掉在地上，接着发出一声响亮而恼火的驴叫。66
Giogi whirled around with a shriek of terror.乔吉发出一声惊恐的尖叫，猛地转过身来。67
Upon spotting the beast that had been stalking him, though, he gave a cry of delight.然而，一看清那头一直尾随自己的牲口，他便欢喜地叫出声来。68
“What an adorable burro,” he said with a smile.“多可爱的小毛驴啊。”他笑着说。69
He put his hand out to pet her, but Olive backed out of reach.他伸手想摸摸她，奥利芙却向后退去，不让他碰到。70
With a forefoot, she kicked Giogi’s purse forward.她用一只前蹄把乔吉的钱袋踢到了他面前。71
“What’s this?”“这是什么？”72
Giogi bent over.乔吉弯下腰。73
“My purse!” he cried, picking it up and brushing the dirt off it.“我的钱袋！”他叫道，一边捡起来，掸去上面的泥土。74
“It wasn’t stolen at all.“原来根本没人偷走它。75
It must have fallen out of my pocket before I even got to the street.”一定是我还没走到街上，它就从我的口袋里掉出来了。”76
Giogi pocketed the sack of coins, once more leaving the strings dangling in full view.乔吉把那袋硬币塞回口袋，又一次把系绳明晃晃地垂在外面。77
No!不！78
Olive thought with alarm.奥利芙惊慌地想。79
I just brought it to you, you idiot.是我刚刚把它给你送来的，你这个白痴。80
You have to change me back to a halfling.你得把我变回半身人。81
She tried to snatch at the purse strings with her teeth, but Giogi gave her a swat on the muzzle, and she missed.她试图用牙咬住钱袋的系绳，乔吉却在她的口鼻上拍了一巴掌，让她扑了个空。82
“Silly creature.“傻乎乎的小家伙。83
Mustn’t chew on them,” he said tucking the strings all the way into his cloak pocket.可不能咬这些绳子。”他说着，把系绳全都塞进了斗篷口袋。84
“They’re not good for you, you know.“你要知道，这东西对你可没好处。85
Now, what are you doing roaming loose in my garden?好了，你为什么会独自在我的花园里乱逛？86
Hmm?”嗯？”87
Olive glared at the nobleman in frustration.奥利芙懊恼地瞪着那位贵族。88
“Thomas must have had a reason for procuring you,” Giogi said.“托马斯把你弄来，肯定有他的理由。”乔吉说。89
“Not the sentimental type, ol’ Thomas.“托马斯那老家伙可不是感情用事的人。90
Very responsible.他非常可靠。91
Always spends my money wisely.”花我的钱也总是花得很明智。”92
Olive tried to protest that Thomas had not bought her, but, of course, she could only bray angrily.奥利芙试图抗议，说托马斯并没有买下她，可她当然只能愤怒地嘶叫。93
This she did, at a volume that would put a banshee to shame.她叫得震耳欲聋，就连报丧女妖也要自愧不如。94
“Shh.“嘘。”95
You’ll wake the neighbors.“你会把邻居吵醒的。”96
Thomas wouldn’t have left you untied.“托马斯不会不拴住你就离开的。”97
He’s responsible, you know.“你也知道，他做事很负责。”98
You must have chewed through the rope, eh?“你一定是把绳子咬断了，对吧？”99
Maybe we’d better tuck you in the carriage house.”“也许我们最好把你安置到马车房里去。”100
With those words, he unclipped the buckle fastening his belt and slid his belt from his waist with a whiplike snap.说着，他解开皮带扣，嗖地从腰间抽出皮带，发出鞭子般清脆的啪响。101
Olive’s eyes widened, and she backed away from the nobleman.奥利芙睁大了眼睛，连连后退，躲开那位贵族。102
She brayed now with fear.这回，她因恐惧而嘶叫起来。103
Her tail and hindquarters banged against the iron gate, which rattled but remained securely fastened, blocking her escape.她的尾巴和后臀撞上铁门，铁门哐啷作响，却依然牢牢关着，堵住了她的逃路。104
She dodged to the right, but before she could maneuver around him, Giogi had fashioned his belt into a noose and slipped it neatly over her head.她闪身向右，可还没来得及绕过他，乔吉已经把皮带挽成套索，利落地套过了她的头。105
Olive jumped away, hoping to jerk the noose free of Giogi’s grip, but the noble’s grasp was too firm.奥利芙猛地向后跳去，想把套索从乔吉手中挣脱，可那位贵族抓得太牢。106
The sudden choking sensation broke her spirit immediately.突如其来的窒息感立刻击垮了她的意志。107
This had been the worst night of her life.这是她有生以来最糟糕的一夜。108
Watching her best friend murdered had been awful.眼睁睁看着最好的朋友遭人杀害，实在可怕。109
Recognizing the murderer had been a shock.认出凶手，更令她震惊。110
Fleeing for her life had been terrifying.为保住性命而逃亡，让她恐惧万分。111
Being mistaken for a beast was completely humiliating.被误认成一头牲畜，则令她颜面尽失。112
More miserable than she’d ever been in her life, Olive walked docilely alongside Giogi as he led her to the carriage house.奥利芙从未如此凄惨过；乔吉牵着她前往马车房时，她温顺地走在他身旁。113
“Daisyeye,” Giogi called out softly as he opened the smaller of the carriage house’s two doors and led Olive inside.“雏菊眼。”乔吉轻声唤道，同时打开马车房两扇门中较小的那一扇，把奥利芙领了进去。114
“I’ve brought you some company, Daisyeye.”“我给你带了个伴儿来，雏菊眼。”115
Giogi lit an oil lamp beside the door.乔吉点亮了门边的一盏油灯。116
In the light, the carriage house looked warm and cheery.灯光下，马车房显得温暖而宜人。117
From her burro’s-eye-view, Olive could see a buggy painted vibrant yellow and green and two horse stalls, one occupied by a chestnut mare.从小毛驴的视角望去，奥利芙看见一辆漆成鲜艳黄绿色的轻便马车，还有两间马厩，其中一间里拴着一匹栗色母马。118
The other stall was empty, and Giogi led Olive into it.另一间马厩空着，乔吉把奥利芙领了进去。119
He fussed about her—the perfect host trying to make his guest comfortable.他围着她忙前忙后，俨然一位力求让客人舒适自在的完美主人。120
Olive realized he meant well, but she could have wished he weren’t trying so much in his drunken state.奥利芙明白他是一片好意，可她真希望他喝成这样后别再如此卖力了。121
He laid only half the amount of bedding straw she needed, but left her with twice as much hay as a horse could eat in a day and sloshed more water on the floor than in her water trough.他铺的垫草只有她所需的一半，留下的干草却足够一匹马吃上两天；倒水时，洒在地上的比倒进水槽里的还多。122
Ignoring the hay, Olive dipped her muzzle in the water and gulped thirstily, thinking how much she really needed something stronger to drink.奥利芙没碰干草，只把嘴鼻浸进水里，饥渴地大口吞咽着，同时心想，自己真正需要的其实是更烈一些的饮料。123
When she finally came up for air, her gaze wandered idly around the walls of her stall.等她终于抬起头来喘气时，目光漫不经心地扫过马厩四周的墙壁。124
Hanging on the outer wall was a portrait of a man with birdlike features, silky black hair, arid piercing blue eyes.外侧墙上挂着一幅男子肖像：那人长着鸟一般的面容，一头丝绸般的黑发，还有一双冷漠而锐利的蓝眼睛。125
His powerful hands rested on a seven-stringed yarting.他那双有力的手搭在一把七弦雅廷琴上。126
A silver brooch glistened on his tabard.他身穿的罩袍上，一枚银胸针闪闪发亮。127
The eyes in the portrait seemed to stare right at Olive, boring into her soul, so that she imagined the man was watching her, undeceived by her magical disguise.画像中的眼睛仿佛直盯着奥利芙，洞穿了她的灵魂，令她觉得那男人正在监视自己，丝毫没有被她的魔法伪装蒙骗。128
Instinctively Olive backed away, braying with alarm.奥利芙本能地向后退去，惊恐地嘶叫起来。129
Giogi looked up at the wall where the burro’s gaze was fixed.乔吉抬头看向小毛驴目光紧盯着的那面墙。130
He seemed startled by the portrait, too, for a moment, at least.至少有那么一瞬间，他似乎也被那幅画像吓了一跳。131
Then he laughed, reached up, and took the painting down.随后他笑了起来，伸手摘下了那幅画。132
“Nothing to worry about,” he murmured soothingly.“没什么好担心的。”他柔声安抚道。133
“Look, silly,” he said, holding the frame up to her muzzle so she could sniff at the painting.“瞧吧，小傻瓜，”他说着，把画框举到她嘴鼻前，让她闻闻那幅画。134
“It’s only the picture of some old, dead ancestor.“不过是某个早已作古的祖先的画像。135
Completely harmless.”完全无害。”136
Wrong, Olive thought.不对，奥利芙心想。137
He’s not dead, and he’s not just some old ancestor, and he’s not harmless.他没有死，也不只是某个早已作古的祖先，更不是什么无害之人。138
He’s the Nameless Bard, and he’s a mad murderer.他是无名者吟游诗人，是个疯狂的杀人凶手。139
“His name should be on the back somewhere,” Giogi muttered, searching the canvas.“他的名字应该写在背面某个地方，”乔吉一边嘟囔，一边翻找着画布。140
“How odd.“真奇怪。141
The name’s been blotted out.”名字被涂掉了。”142
Naturally, Olive thought.那当然，奥利芙心想。143
The Harpers went to a great deal of trouble wiping his name from the Realms.竖琴手同盟费了九牛二虎之力，才把他的名字从诸界抹去。144
“Doesn’t matter,” Giogi said.“没关系，”乔吉说道。145
“He could be any Wyvernspur.“他可能是飞龙刺家族里的任何一个人。146
Wyvernspurs all look alike.飞龙刺家族的人全都长得一个样。147
Except me, of course.当然，我除外。148
I take after my mother, you see.”你瞧，我长得像我母亲。”149
Giogi hung the picture back up and offered Olive a handful of oats, sweetened with molasses, from a wooden bucket.乔吉把画重新挂好，又从一只木桶里抓出一把拌了糖蜜的燕麦，递给奥利芙。150
“See what I have?“瞧瞧我有什么？151
Num-nums,” he said.好吃吃哦。”他说。152
The halfling-turned-burro declined to even sniff at the grain.变成小毛驴的半身人连闻都不肯闻一下那些燕麦。153
“Not hungry, eh?“不饿，是吧？154
Well, we’ll leave them for you as a midnight snack, in case you get peckish.”好吧，我们把它们留给你当宵夜，万一你半夜嘴馋呢。”155
Giogi dumped the oats back into the bucket and left it against the wall.乔吉把燕麦倒回桶里，将木桶留在墙边。156
“Nighty night,” he said, scratching Olive between her ears before she had a chance to dodge away.“晚安安，”他说道，趁奥利芙还没来得及躲开，挠了挠她两耳之间。157
He slipped his belt off her and left the stall, closing and latching its door behind him.他从她身上解下自己的皮带，离开畜栏，随手关上栏门并插好门闩。158
Before he left the stable, he blew out the lamp.离开马厩前，他吹灭了油灯。159
Left alone in the dark, Olive tried to make plans.独自留在黑暗中后，奥利芙试着盘算起接下来的计划。160
I have to think of a way to get out of here, she thought.我得想办法离开这里，她心想。161
I have to get someone to turn me back the way I belong.我得找个人把我变回原来的模样。162
I have to avenge Jade’s death.我得为杰德报仇。163
All she could think about, though, was Jade.然而，她满脑子想的只有杰德。164
Olive had benefited from her association with Jade, as with no other person.奥利芙与杰德相伴所得的益处，是任何人都不曾带给她的。165
Of course, there had been the practical benefits.当然，其中也有实际的好处。166
Like Alias, Jade could not be detected magically, and this protection extended to her companions.杰德和阿莉亚丝一样，无法被魔法探测到，而且这种保护也会惠及她的同伴。167
Jade had also been an appreciative audience for all Olive’s songs—unlike Alias, whose habit of performing better songs had constantly pricked Olive’s jealousy.杰德也一直是奥利芙所有歌曲的忠实听众——不像阿莉亚丝，她总爱演唱更出色的歌，不断刺痛奥利芙的嫉妒心。168
Most importantly, though, Jade had simply been the best friend Olive had ever had.但最重要的是，杰德就是奥利芙有生以来最好的朋友。169
Jade had been a perfect companion.杰德是个完美的伙伴。170
She had enjoyed all the things Olive did: practicing her craft, celebrating with food and drink, gossiping, traveling—but only in fair weather—and meeting new people.凡是奥利芙喜欢的事，她也都喜欢：磨炼手艺，以美食佳酿庆祝，闲聊八卦，旅行——但只在天气晴好时——以及结识新朋友。171
Olive had once wondered if, instead of getting a spirit and soul from a paladin, as Alias had, Jade’s spirit and soul had been cleft from the halfling’s own.奥利芙曾经想过，杰德的精神与灵魂会不会并非像阿莉亚丝那样来自一名圣武士，而是从她这个半身人的精神与灵魂中劈分出来的。172
That would have explained why Olive felt so drawn to the human.那便能解释奥利芙为何会如此亲近这个人类女子。173
Whether it was true or not, Olive knew for a fact that the last six days without Jade had been the loneliest she could recall in her lifetime.无论这猜想是真是假，奥利芙都确信，失去杰德的这六天，是她一生记忆中最孤独的日子。174
Not only had she missed the woman, but secretly she’d been worried sick about Jade.她不仅思念这个女人，暗地里还为杰德担心得几乎发疯。175
Olive had been able to think of only one reason why Jade would disappear, but she could hardly go up to Lord Sudacar and ask, “Have you arrested my friend Jade for picking someone’s pocket?”奥利芙只能想到一个杰德会失踪的理由，可她总不能直接跑去问苏达卡领主：“你们是不是因为我的朋友杰德掏了谁的口袋，就把她抓起来了？”176
It certainly wouldn’t have helped Jade any.那肯定对杰德毫无帮助。177
Olive had searched through Immersea as subtly as she could.奥利芙已经尽可能不动声色地搜遍了伊默海。178
She didn’t want Jade to think she kept tabs on her, but the halfling had felt responsible for the human.她不想让杰德觉得自己一直在盯着她的动向，可这个半身人又觉得自己对那个人类女子负有责任。179
She’d felt that way ever since she’d spotted Jade in the streets of Arabel—picking the pocket of a purple dragoon.自从她在阿拉贝尔的街头发现杰德——当时杰德正在掏一名紫衣龙骑兵的口袋——她就一直有这种感觉。180
Jade’s technique had been superb, but, of course, purple dragoons were never paid in anything but royal script, which civilians were not allowed to have.杰德的手法精妙绝伦，但紫衣龙骑兵的饷钱当然从来都只有王室票券，而平民是不准持有这种票券的。181
If someone doesn’t warn her about that, Olive had thought, she’ll end up a bonded servant, and those talented fingers will be wasted scrubbing floors.奥利芙当时想，要是没人提醒她这一点，她最后准会沦为契约仆役，那双灵巧的手指也只能浪费在擦洗地板上。182
Right then Olive had realized she was the perfect candidate to look after the girl, train her, and offer her guidance, just as Alias had a saurial paladin to keep her safe.就在那一刻，奥利芙意识到，自己正是照顾这个姑娘、训练她并指点她的最佳人选，就像阿莉亚丝有一位蜥蜴人圣武士保护她一样。183
Who better, Olive had thought, than I?还有谁能比我更合适？奥利芙当时想。184
Not only do I know more about her than she probably knows about herself, but we share the same craft.我不仅比她自己更了解她，而且我们还干着同一门行当。185
Nonetheless, Olive had been surprised at how easily Jade had accepted her offer to become her apprentice, how quickly Jade had come to depend on her, and how completely the human had trusted her.尽管如此，杰德如此轻易便接受了做她学徒的提议，如此迅速便开始依赖她，又如此彻底地信任她，还是令奥利芙颇为惊讶。186
Because of all this, Olive had come to think of Jade as a daughter.正因这一切，奥利芙渐渐把杰德当成了自己的女儿。187
An overgrown daughter, but a beloved daughter.一个长得过了头的女儿，却也是她深爱的女儿。188
When Jade had said she’d been visiting family, Olive had felt an unreasonable flare of jealousy.当杰德说她去探望家人时，奥利芙心中竟莫名地燃起一阵嫉妒。189
Now she wondered angrily, Who was this phony family member who’d kept her Jade away for six days, tempting her with magic sacks and the gods knew what else?如今她愤怒地想，这个让她的杰德一走六天、拿魔法袋子和天知道还有什么东西诱惑她的冒牌亲人，究竟是谁？190
A fat lot of good he’d been to her when she’d been murdered on the street.杰德在街上被杀时，他可真是帮了她的大忙。191
A fat lot of good you’d been to her, Olive derided herself.你又帮了她多大的忙，奥利芙嘲讽自己。192
You failed her.你辜负了她。193
You knew there was something evil about the mark she went after.你明明知道她追查的那个目标透着邪气。194
Why didn’t you stop her?你为什么不阻止她？195
If you’d insisted harder, she would have stayed.如果你再坚持一些，她就会留下来了。196
Why did you let her go?你为什么放她走？197
You’ll never see her again, now.现在，你再也见不到她了。198
Never, ever.永远，永远都见不到了。199
Unable to weep in her burro body, Olive found herself banging her head against the stall door in a mindless fury.困在毛驴的身体里，奥利芙无法哭泣，只能在失去理智的狂怒中一头又一头地撞向畜栏门。200
Daisyeye nickered nervously, upset by the noise Olive made.雏菊眼不安地嘶鸣起来，被奥利芙弄出的声响吓坏了。201
With some effort, Olive controlled herself.奥利芙费了一番力气，终于控制住自己。202
She took a deep breath and another drink of water.她深吸一口气，又喝了些水。203
Its not all my fault, she thought with a flash of anger.这不全是我的错，她心头怒火一闪，想道。204
Nameless killed her, though why he should murder one of Alias’s copies is a mystery.是无名者杀了她，尽管他为什么要杀死阿莉亚丝的一个复制品，仍是个谜。205
Face it, Olive-girl, she told herself, he’s never been completely sane.认清现实吧，奥利芙姑娘，她对自己说，他从来就没有完全正常过。206
He could have a reason, albeit a twisted one.他或许有自己的理由，哪怕那理由十分扭曲。207
The first thing that had occurred to her, because of what Nameless had said to Jade on the street, was that he’d judged Jade to be unfit because she was a thief, and that he’d taken it upon himself to destroy her because he’d been partly responsible for creating her.由于无名者在街上对杰德说过的那些话，她最先想到的是：他认定杰德是个小偷，因此不合格；而且因为他对她的诞生也负有一部分责任，便自作主张地将她毁掉了。208
“You’ve escaped,” he’d said to Jade.“你逃出来了，”他当时对杰德说。209
Had he kept her prisoner for the past six days?过去六天里，他一直囚禁着她吗？210
Was that what Jade had meant when she said she’d been “visiting family”?杰德说自己一直在“走亲戚”，指的就是这件事吗？211
In a way, Nameless was kin to Jade.从某种意义上说，无名者和杰德也算亲人。212
He thought of himself as Alias’s father, and Alias was Jade’s older sister, sort of.他把自己视为阿莉亚丝的父亲，而阿莉亚丝姑且算是杰德的姐姐。213
Who else could she have meant?除此之外，她还能指谁呢？214
Of course!当然了！215
Olive thought with a start.奥利芙猛然想到。216
She could have meant one of Nameless’s relatives!她指的可能是无名者的某个亲戚！217
If the portrait on the wall of Giogi’s carriage house was Nameless, as Olive was sure it was, and if, as Giogi claimed, the man in the portrait was some ancestor, then Nameless was a Wyvernspur, and Jade would be kin to all the Wyvernspurs, at least in as much as she was kin to Nameless.如果乔吉马车房墙上的画像画的是无名者——奥利芙确信那就是他——而且如果画像中的男子真像乔吉所说，是他的某位祖先，那么无名者就是飞龙刺家族的一员，杰德也就和飞龙刺家族的所有人都是亲族了，至少，她和他们的亲缘关系与她和无名者的亲缘关系一样。218
Even better than that, though, was the inevitable conclusion that if, as Giogi also claimed, the portrait could have been of any Wyvernspur, since they all looked alike, then Jade’s murderer might not have been Nameless at all, but some other Wyvernspur.不过，更妙的是，一个必然的结论随之浮现：如果也像乔吉所说的那样，由于飞龙刺家族的人全都长得一模一样，那幅画像画的可能是其中任何一人，那么杀害杰德的凶手或许根本不是无名者，而是飞龙刺家族的另一个人。219
With the realization that Nameless wasn’t her only suspect, a feeling of relief swept over Olive.意识到无名者并非唯一的嫌疑人后，奥利芙顿时如释重负。220
She hadn’t wanted to believe he would murder anyone.她一直不愿相信他会杀害任何人。221
From the day she’d freed him from the sorceress Cassana’s dungeon, Olive had respected his talents as a bard, and he had gained her sympathy with his tale of being stripped of his name and exiled to another plane.自从那天把他从女术士卡萨娜的地牢里救出来，奥利芙便一直钦佩他身为吟游诗人的才华；而他讲述自己如何被剥夺姓名、放逐到另一个位面的经历，也博得了她的同情。222
Of course, Olive had not approved of the callous way Nameless had risked people’s lives in order to satisfy his egotistical desire to create an immortal vessel to sing his music.当然，无名者为了满足自己想要创造一个不朽载体来传唱其音乐的自负欲望，竟然冷酷地拿别人的性命冒险，奥利芙对此并不赞同。223
On the other hand, his treatment at the hands of the Harpers had been nothing short of tyrannical.但另一方面，竖琴手同盟对他的所作所为，简直称得上专横暴虐。224
Exiling him had been cruel enough, but repressing his songs was unforgivable.将他放逐已经够残酷了，压制他的歌曲更是不可饶恕。225
The halfling could not help but admire the way Nameless had defied the Harpers a second time.这位半身人忍不住钦佩无名者第二次反抗竖琴手同盟的方式。226
His scheme had been mad, but it had ended in the creation of Alias and Jade.他的计划虽疯狂，却最终造就了阿莉亚丝和杰德。227
On the whole, Olive had really liked Nameless.总的来说，奥利芙其实很喜欢无名者。228
She was pretty sure he’d liked her, too.她相当肯定，他也喜欢她。229
After all, he’d spent hours teaching her new songs on his yarting, possibly the same yarting he held in his portrait.毕竟，他曾花上好几个小时，用自己的雅廷琴教她新歌；那把琴很可能就是他在画像中抱着的同一把。230
He’d also given her his Harper’s pin, the same silver brooch he wore in the portrait.他还把自己的竖琴手徽针送给了她，也就是画像中他佩戴的那枚银胸针。231
The piece of jewelry fashioned in the shape of a harp and crescent moon was pinned somewhere in Olive’s vest pocket—wherever that was beneath her burro hide.那件制成竖琴与新月形状的饰品，正别在奥利芙背心口袋里的某个地方——至于那个口袋在她这身驴皮底下的什么位置，就说不准了。232
Some might have interpreted his presenting the pin to a halfling thief as an act of defiance against the Harpers, but Olive chose to think of it as a reward for helping Alias gain her freedom.有些人或许会把他将徽针赠给一个半身人窃贼的举动，解读为对竖琴手同盟的反抗，但奥利芙宁愿认为，这是他为她帮助阿莉亚丝获得自由而给的奖赏。233
Now that she thought about it, Olive recalled that there had been something about Jade’s murderer that was different from Nameless.这么一想，奥利芙回忆起，杰德的凶手身上有个地方与无名者不同。234
The murderer’s hair was as dark and silky as the hair in Nameless’s portrait.凶手的头发像无名者画像中的头发一样乌黑柔顺。235
The portrait was done two centuries ago, though.不过，那幅画像是两个世纪前画的。236
The last time Olive had seen Nameless, his hair had been splotched with gray and was somewhat lusterless.奥利芙上次见到无名者时，他的头发已经斑白，也有些失去光泽了。237
So it couldn’t have been Nameless who killed Jade, unless he’d found some potion of youth.所以杀死杰德的不可能是无名者，除非他找到了某种返老还童的药水。238
Olive shook her head, unwilling to believe Nameless capable of such treachery as long as there were other possibilities in the Wyvernspur family.奥利芙摇了摇头；只要飞龙刺家族中还有其他人可能是凶手，她就不愿相信无名者会做出如此背信弃义之事。239
Giogi might know who those other possibilities were, she realized.她忽然意识到，乔吉或许知道那些可能的人是谁。240
Remaining with him would be my best opportunity to discover the identity of Jade’s murderer.留在他身边，是我查明杰德凶手身份的最佳机会。241
And when I find out which Wyvernscum murdered my Jade, Olive thought, I can avenge her death.等我查出飞龙刺家哪个败类杀了我的杰德，奥利芙心想，我就能为她报仇。242
Having settled her mind about Nameless and realizing that her transformation and captivity might have some tactical advantage, Olive’s thoughts turned to more mundane matters.想通了无名者的事，又意识到自己的变形和被囚或许能带来某种战术优势后，奥利芙开始考虑起更为实际的问题。243
Her stomach was rumbling.她的肚子正咕咕作响。244
She’d missed dinner, and her appetite had not diminished upon her transformation.她错过了晚餐，而变形并没有让她的食欲有所减退。245
She sniffed experimentally at the bucket of oats.她试探着嗅了嗅那桶燕麦。246
Giogi tossed uneasily in his sleep.乔吉在睡梦中不安地辗转反侧。247
He was dreaming that he was soaring over a meadow on a spring morning.他梦见自己在一个春日的清晨翱翔于草地上空。248
He knew that he was asleep.他知道自己正在做梦。249
He hadn’t the ability to soar over anything except dream things.除了梦中的事物，他可没有能力飞越任何东西。250
Besides which, he’d had this particular nightmare before.更何况，这个噩梦他以前做过。251
That’s why he tossed uneasily.所以他才会不安地辗转反侧。252
While most people would find the beginning of this dream enchanting, or even exhilarating, Giogi was too well acquainted with the ending to appreciate the soaring part.大多数人或许会觉得这个梦的开头如梦似幻，甚至令人兴奋不已，但乔吉对它的结局实在太过熟悉，根本无心享受翱翔的乐趣。253
His chestnut mare, Daisyeye, galloped into sight beneath him.他的栗色母马雏菊眼疾驰而来，出现在他下方。254
Giogi swooped down on the horse more silently than an owl on a rabbit.乔吉俯冲向那匹马，悄无声息，甚至比猫头鹰扑向兔子还要安静。255
He sunk his talons into the mare’s haunches and his fangs into her neck and snatched his prey from the ground.他把利爪深深扎进母马的臀部，将獠牙刺入它的脖颈，一把将猎物从地面攫起。256
Daisyeye neighed in terror and pain as Giogi beat his wings harder and faster and climbed back into the air.乔吉更加用力、更加迅速地扇动翅膀，重新升上空中，雏菊眼则因恐惧和疼痛而嘶鸣。257
The horse writhed in his grasp for a few moments, then went limp.那匹马在他爪中挣扎扭动了片刻，随后便瘫软下来。258
Giogi landed back in the meadow.乔吉落回草地上。259
Blood flowing from Daisyeye’s neck and haunches steamed in the cool air.鲜血从雏菊眼的颈部和臀部涌出，在凉爽的空气中冒着热气。260
Her bones snapped as Giogi began swallowing her whole.乔吉开始将她整匹吞下，她的骨头咔嚓咔嚓地断裂。261
Giogi awoke with a gasp, trembling with fear.乔吉猛吸一口气惊醒过来，吓得浑身发抖。262
“Why me?” he moaned.“为什么偏偏是我？”他呻吟道。263
That was the question he’d been asking himself since he’d come of age and he’d started having the dream.自从成年后开始做这个梦以来，他一直在这样问自己。264
At first, the prey in his dream had been wild creatures: stags and boars and mountain goats, and while the dream had disturbed Giogi greatly, at least he was accustomed to hunting such creatures for real—with a bow, of course.起初，他梦中的猎物都是野兽：雄鹿、野猪和山羊；这个梦虽然令乔吉深感不安，但至少他对在现实中猎杀这类动物并不陌生——当然，是用弓箭。265
Ever since the dragon who’d waylaid him last spring had eaten the first Daisyeye—not Daisyeye II, who was safe in the carriage house—the prey in Giogi’s nightmares had become Daisyeye.自从去年春天拦路袭击他的那条龙吃掉了第一匹雏菊眼——不是雏菊眼二世，她正安然待在马车房里——乔吉噩梦中的猎物就变成了雏菊眼。266
Like all Cormyrian nobles, he loved his horses, and the idea of slaughtering and devouring them appalled him.和所有科米尔人贵族一样，他深爱自己的马，一想到要屠宰并吞食它们，他就觉得毛骨悚然。267
Just to reassure himself, Giogi padded barefoot over to his bedroom window to look out at the carriage house, where Daisyeye was stabled.为了让自己安心，乔吉光着脚悄悄走到卧室窗边，望向雏菊眼所在的马车房。268
Giogi could make out the silhouette of the carriage house and see that nothing had burned it down or broken in looking for an equine snack.乔吉能辨认出马车房的轮廓，看得出它既没有被烧毁，也没有什么东西为了找一顿马肉点心而破门闯入。269
The moon had set, but the sky was not completely dark.月亮已经落下，但天空还没有完全漆黑。270
The sun would be up soon.太阳很快就要升起来了。271
“Oh, my gosh.“哦，我的天哪。272
I have to be at the crypt,” Giogi remembered aloud.我得去墓室。”乔吉出声提醒自己。273
Thomas was awakened by a thumping noise followed by the clatter and clash of metal on metal, like the sounds made by gladiators battling in an arena.托马斯被一声闷响惊醒，紧接着便传来金属相互碰撞的叮当铿锵声，仿佛角斗士正在竞技场上厮杀。274
Thomas listened more intently, trying to determine if the noise wasn’t coming from outside the house, created perhaps by a band of drunken adventurers with no respect for the conventions of town living—such as sleeping at night.托马斯更加仔细地听着，想确定声音是不是来自屋外，也许是一群醉醺醺的冒险者弄出来的，他们毫不尊重城镇生活的惯例——比如夜里应该睡觉。275
A second thump and more bashing noises reached his ears.又一声闷响和更多的撞击声传入他耳中。276
Now he was able to tell for certain that the disturbance came from within the house.这下他可以确定，动静来自屋内。277
The noise originated from his own kitchen.声音是从他自己的厨房里传来的。278
It was early dawn, the sky just beginning to lighten to iron gray.此时天刚破晓，天空才开始泛起铁灰色的微光。279
Presuming the noises had been made by some very careless burglar, the servant picked up the poker from beside his fireplace and carefully eased open his bedroom door.仆人认定这些声响是某个极其粗心的窃贼弄出来的，便拿起壁炉旁的火钳，小心翼翼地推开卧室门。280
A bright light shone across the hall.一道明亮的光芒横照过走廊。281
A very brazen, as well as careless, burglar, Thomas thought as he tiptoed to the kitchen door and peeked around the doorjamb.真是个既胆大包天又粗心大意的窃贼，托马斯一边想着，一边踮着脚走到厨房门口，从门框旁探头窥视。282
His kitchen was in complete disarray.他的厨房里一片狼藉。283
Serving trays and mixing bowls lay scattered about the table and floor.托盘和搅拌碗散落在桌上和地板上。284
All the cabinets stood open—most of them emptied of their contents.所有橱柜都敞开着——大部分已经被搬空了。285
One stack of plates sat balanced so precariously on the edge of the linen chest that it appeared as if a passing breeze could send them plummeting to the stone floor.一摞盘子摇摇欲坠地搁在布草柜边缘，仿佛一阵微风吹过，就能让它们坠落到石板地面上。286
In the midst of the chaos stood the intruder—a lean young man who scowled at the tabletop with a long, sharp knife in his hand.那闯入者就站在这一片混乱之中——一个身形瘦削的年轻男子，手里握着一把细长锋利的刀，正皱眉瞪着桌面。287
Thomas gasped in surprise.托马斯惊讶地倒吸了一口气。288
Giogioni looked up from the kitchen table at Thomas, who stood in the doorway with a raised poker clenched in his fist and his mouth hanging open.乔吉奥尼从厨房桌旁抬起头，看向托马斯；他站在门口，拳头里紧攥着高高举起的拨火棍，嘴巴张得老大。289
“Ah, good morning, Thomas,” the young noble greeted him and smiled.“啊，早上好，托马斯。”年轻的贵族微笑着招呼道。290
“Didn’t mean to wake you.“没想吵醒你。291
Just getting together some tea.我只是想弄点茶。292
Why are you waving that poker about?”你为什么把那根拨火棍挥来挥去的？”293
“I—I—I thought you were a burglar, sir,” Thomas explained, carefully leaning the iron rod against the wall.“我——我——我以为您是个窃贼，先生。”托马斯解释道，小心翼翼地把那根铁棍靠在墙上。294
“Now why would you think that, Thomas?“你怎么会这么想呢，托马斯？295
You know I have scads of money.你知道我有的是钱。296
Why should I become a burglar?”我为什么要去当窃贼？”297
“No, sir, I meant that I heard a sound, sir, and that I thought at this hour down in the kitchen, it must have been made by a burglar.“不是的，先生，我是说，我听见了响声，先生，而且这么早，声音又是从楼下厨房传来的，我就以为一定是窃贼弄出来的。298
Couldn’t you sleep, sir?”您睡不着吗，先生？”299
Giogi snorted.乔吉哼了一声。300
“With all I had to drink last night?” he replied.“昨晚喝了那么多酒，我还能睡不着？”他答道。301
“I went out like a snuffed candle.”“我一下就睡死了，像一根被吹灭的蜡烛。”302
“Bad dreams again?”“又做噩梦了？”303
Thomas guessed.托马斯猜测道。304
Eager to forget the dream, Giogi denied it with a shake of his head.乔吉急于忘掉那个梦，摇头否认了。305
“I am awake at this ungodly hour,” he explained, “because Aunt Dorath has condemned me to crypt-crawling with Steele and Freffie.“我会在这个鬼都不醒的时辰起床，”他解释道，“是因为多拉丝姑妈罚我跟斯蒂尔和弗雷菲一起钻地穴。306
They’ve put me in charge of provisions, so I’ve boiled water for tea and now I’m hacking at this cheese for sandwiches.他们让我负责准备吃的，所以我烧了水泡茶，现在正费劲地切这块奶酪，准备做三明治。307
I made a bit of a mess looking for that earthenware tea jug.我找那个陶制茶壶时，把这里弄得有点乱。308
Sorry.对不起。309
I seem to be having trouble with this knife.我好像不太会用这把刀。310
Since you are up anyway, would you oblige, please?”既然你反正也起来了，能劳驾你帮个忙吗？”311
The young Wyvernspur waved the knife at the servant, handle first.年轻的飞龙刺把刀柄朝前，向仆人递了递。312
Thomas picked his way across the kitchen to the table—carefully pushing the stack of dishes back from the edge of the linen chest on his way.托马斯小心地穿过厨房走向桌子，途中还把亚麻布柜边缘那摞盘子往里推了推。313
Large crumbs and chunks of cheddar littered the table, but none could be even charitably described as a slice.桌上到处都是大块大块的切达奶酪碎屑，但即使再宽容，也没法把其中任何一块称为奶酪片。314
Thomas took the remnants of the wheel of cheese and carved through it neatly six times.托马斯拿起那轮奶酪的残余，利落地切了六刀。315
“Will that be sufficient, sir?”“这样够了吗，少爷？”316
“Excellent,” Giogioni said, stacking the cheese slices between chunks of bread.“好极了。”乔吉奥尼说着，把奶酪片夹进一块块面包中间。317
He lay each sandwich on a piece of oiled paper.他把每个三明治分别放在一张油纸上。318
“And would you slice them into those cute little triangles like you always do for tea?”“你能不能再像平时准备茶点时那样，把它们切成那些可爱的小三角形？”319
Automatically Thomas quartered the sandwiches, wrapped them in the oily paper, and stuffed them into the waterproof sack Giogi held out.托马斯下意识地把三明治切成四份，用油纸包好，再塞进乔吉递过来的防水袋里。320
Finding his master not only awake at this hour, but fully dressed, shaved, and alert was enough to confuse Thomas; discovering Giogi also making an attempt at self-sufficiency in the kitchen had left the servant dazed.主人不仅在这个时辰醒着，还穿戴整齐，刮过脸，精神抖擞，这已经够让托马斯困惑的了；如今又发现乔吉居然还试图在厨房里自力更生，更令这个仆人目瞪口呆。321
“I swiped those leftover tea cakes and some apples.“我顺手拿了那些吃剩的茶点蛋糕，还有几个苹果。322
Is that all right?” the nobleman asked.没问题吧？”这位贵族问道。323
“Yes, of course, sir.”“当然没问题，少爷。”324
Thomas replied.托马斯答道。325
“Oh.“哦。326
I told Bottles you’d stop by the Immer Inn first thing this morning and pay my tab from last night.”我告诉博特尔斯，你今天早上一早会去一趟伊默旅店，把我昨晚欠的账结了。”327
“Very good, sir,” Thomas replied.“好的，少爷。”托马斯答道。328
Giogi packed the waterproof sack, the earthenware jug, some teacups, teaspoons and a jar of tea leaves into a picnic basket.乔吉把防水袋、陶壶、几只茶杯和茶匙，还有一罐茶叶装进了野餐篮。329
He strapped on his fencing foil, pulled on his cloak, and unlatched the back door.他佩上花剑，披上斗篷，拉开了后门的门闩。330
“By the way,” he said, pausing in the doorway, “I thought I’d take the burro with me to carry my supplies.“对了，”他在门口停下来说，“我想带上那头小毛驴，让它替我驮东西。331
That won’t be any problem, will it?”这不会有什么问题吧？”332
“Of course not, sir,” Thomas said automatically as he nested a set of mixing bowls and stacked them back into a cupboard.“当然不会，先生。”托马斯一边不假思索地回答，一边把一套搅拌碗依次套好，放回橱柜里。333
It wasn’t until Giogioni’s servant had finished tidying the kitchen and had his morning cup of tea that he was sufficiently awake to wonder to which burro his master was referring.直到乔吉奥尼的仆人收拾完厨房，喝过早茶，才彻底清醒过来，开始纳闷主人说的究竟是哪头小毛驴。334
