The little triangular space walled off by the sailcloth was a sixth bedroom, quite private and exclusive;

"You can't sleep here," he said. "I can do better for you than this." "Better!"

A two-roomed pine shanty, board walls, board floors, board ceilings,

To have been entertained at Windsor Castle would not have made us half so grateful. It was late before the "city" grew quiet;

and, long after most of the lights were out, and most of the sounds had ceased,
在大多数灯光都熄了后很久，这里陷入一片寂静，
I heard one solitary hammer in the distance, clink, clink, clink. I fell asleep listening to it.
只是远处传来一柄锤子锤击的声音，叮当，叮当，叮当。听着听着，我渐渐睡了。
