她回到椭圆桌旁继续临蓽。他坐在椅子的扶手上，翻看那些风景明信片。然后他把明信片都翻过来，开始整理邮票。西班牙的邮票上有个秃头的男人，法国的上面有只雄鸡，德国 的上面印着搞笑的熏肉条，一张意大利的邮票上印着看起来是扫烟囱用的扫帚和一把短柄小斧。
"These are great," he said. "I haven't got any of them."
“这些邮票真是太棒了，”他说，“这些我一张也没有。”
"Just be careful how you take them off."
“注意好好把它们弄下来。”
"Can I take them downstairs?"

"Yes."
“是的。”

“那么也许你最好还是把水壶拿上来。”
