A month ago, however, a dear friend, whom I have known for many years, has done me the honour to ask my hand in marriage.
然而，一個月前，很榮幸有一位認(rèn)識多年的親密朋友向我求婚。

Two days ago some repairs were started in the west wing of the building, and my bedroom wall has been pierced,

so that I have had to move into the chamber in which my sister died, and to sleep in the very bed in which she slept.
所以我不得不搬到我姐姐喪命的那房間里去住，睡在她睡過的那張床上。
Imagine, then, my thrill of terror when last night, as I lay awake, thinking over her terrible fate,

I suddenly heard in the silence of the night the low whistle which had been the herald of her own death.

I was too shaken to go to bed again, however, so I dressed, and as soon as it was daylight I slipped down,

got a dog-cart at the Crown Inn, which is opposite, and drove to Leatherhead,
在邸宅對面的克朗旅店雇了一輛單馬車，坐車到萊瑟黑德，
from whence I have come on this morning with the one object of seeing you and asking your advice."
又從那里來到你這兒，唯一的目的是來拜訪你并向你請教。"
