"Would you like to hear Mademoiselle Reisz play?" asked Robert, coming out on the porch where she was. Of course Edna would like to hear Mademoiselle Reisz play; but she feared it would be useless to entreat her.

"I'll ask her," he said. "I'll tell her that you want to hear her. She likes you. She will come." He turned and hurried away to one of the far cottages, where Mademoiselle Reisz was shuffling away. She was dragging a chair in and out of her room, and at intervals objecting to the crying of a baby, which a nurse in the adjoining cottage was endeavoring to put to sleep. She was a disagreeable little woman, no longer young, who had quarreled with almost every one, owing to a temper which was self-assertive and a disposition to trample upon the rights of others. Robert prevailed upon her without any too great difficulty.

She entered the hall with him during a lull in the dance. She made an awkward, imperious little bow as she went in. She was a homely woman, with a small weazened face and body and eyes that glowed. She had absolutely no taste in dress, and wore a batch of rusty black lace with a bunch of artificial violets pinned to the side of her hair.

賞析：

你想聽到萊茲小姐彈鋼琴么?”羅伯特從門廊走出來并問她。埃德娜當(dāng)然很想聽萊茲小姐彈鋼琴,，但她擔(dān)心懇求她是無用的,。

“我會問她的”他說,。“我會告訴她,你想聽她彈鋼琴,。她那么喜歡你,，她會來的?！彼D(zhuǎn)身匆匆走到一個別墅去找萊茲小姐,。萊茲拖著一把椅子在房間里,不時地看著隔壁那個村舍里的護(hù)士努力把啼哭的孩子哄睡著。她是一個令人討厭的較小女人,不再年輕,幾乎和每一個人都吵過架,脾氣不好并且總是自作主張踐踏他人權(quán)利,。然而羅伯特說服她去彈琴這事兒卻沒有太大的困難,。

她跟隨著羅伯特走進(jìn)了一個大廳。她剛一走進(jìn),，就鞠了一個不是很恭敬的躬,。她是一個平凡的女人,有一張瘦干枯的臉、身體以及眼睛略微有些發(fā)紅,。她在穿著方面沒什么品味,，她在頭發(fā)上固定著一個黑色蕾絲邊的裝飾。
