The Tale of Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle — Page 7
and her gown--and her petticoat?
还有她的长袍——还有她的衬裙？
And _how_ small she had grown--and _how_ brown--and covered with PRICKLES!
她变得_多么_小——_多么_棕褐——还浑身长满了刺！
Why! Mrs. Tiggy-winkle was nothing but a HEDGEHOG.
哎呀！蒂吉-温克尔太太不过是一只刺猬。
(Now some people say that little Lucie had been asleep upon the stile--but then how could she have found three clean pocket-handkins and a pinny, pinned with a silver safety-pin?
（现在有些人说小露西一直睡在台阶上——但那她又怎么能找到三块干净的手帕和一条围裙，还用一个银色安全别针别着呢？
And besides--_I_ have seen that door into the back of the hill called Cat Bells--and besides _I_ am very well acquainted with dear Mrs. Tiggy-winkle!)
而且——_我_亲眼见过那扇通往猫铃山后面的门——而且_我_与亲爱的蒂吉-温克尔太太非常熟识！）
