原文
"You have two delightful old china dogs there. May I look at them
closely?" said Aline, crossing the room towards the fireplace and
thereby becoming the unconscious cause of the other accident. Picking up
Magog, she sat down on the cushion under which was secreted Priscilla's
chocolate cake. Priscilla and Anne exchanged agonized glances but
could do nothing. The stately Aline continued to sit on the cushion and
discuss china dogs until the time of departure.
