Picnic in the Dining-Room
She handed me a typewritten list made up of twenty-four separate items, from shrimps to sugared almonds, including an order for a chicken, four sliced loaves, a half-litre of fresh cream and some Camembert,all to be delivered at the house before five 0'clock. .
.
她交给我一张打好的单子,上面列出了24样东西,从小虾米一直排到糖杏仁,再加上一张订单,预订了一只鸡,四个切片面包,半升鲜奶油和一些卡门贝奶酪,这些东西要在五点之前送到家。
That still left me with plenty to carry myself, and it seemed that if only I could manage to stagger home with my load, there would be no danger of starving the next afternoon .
还有好多东西得由我自己带回来,看来只要我能设法摇摇晃晃地搬回家,第二天下午就不至于挨饿了。
