原文
There is an old proverb that really seems at times to be inspired . . .
"it never rains but it pours." The measure of that day's tribulations
was not yet full. Just as Mr. Allan had finished returning thanks there
arose a strange, ominous sound on the stairs, as of some hard, heavy
object bounding from step to step, finishing up with a grand smash
at the bottom. Everybody ran out into the hall. Anne gave a shriek of
dismay.
