茶已經結束，布朗太太把小客廳收拾好了。火燒得很旺，一盞燈給所有人足夠的光亮。凳子上有一個裝滿好蘋果的盒子，他們似乎在說:“你不想要一個嗎?”
Harry and Kate read a story in a new book. The father reads his newspapper, and the mother mends Harry’s stockings.
哈里和凱特在一本新書中讀了一個故事，父親在看報紙，母親在補哈利的襪子。

慢慢地，他們就會把讀到的東西告訴對方，並就當天發生的事情進行交談。
Harrry and Kate’s bedtime will come first. I think I see them kiss their dear father and mother a sweet good night.
哈里和凱特的就寢時間是第一位的，我想我看見他們親吻他們親愛的爸爸和媽媽，甜蜜地道晚安。
