Everyone brought presents for the house, bric-a-brac, pictures, a silver spoon or two, linen pillow cases, napkins, rag rugs, small articles which they had saved from Sherman and treasured but which they now swore were of no earthly use to them.

• 每个人都给她带了礼物，有装饰品，画片，一两把银汤匙，麻布枕套，餐布，碎呢地毯等。 这些小东西都是他们设法保存下来没有被谢尔曼抢走的，所以非常珍贵，不过他们说这些东西现在自己不大用得着，一定请她收下。
