Part 5 A Woman At Moor House
Chapter 73 Finding shelter
I was put down at Whitcross， a crossroads on the moor， after traveling for two days in the coach. As it rolled away， I realized I had left my parcel inside， and given the coachman all the coins in my purse. I was alone on the open moor ，with no money or possessions. Lonely white roads stretched across the great，wide moors as far as the hills. I was glad to see there were no towns here because l did not want people to question me or pity me. So I walked across the moor， until I found a dry place to sleep， in the shelter of a small hill. Luckily it was a warm night，with no rain. The next day was hot and sunny， but I needed food and water， so I could not stay on the moor.
Taking one of the white roads，I eventually found a small village. I needed all my courage to knock on some of the doors， asking if there was any paid work I could do. None of the village people could help me， and I could not bring myself to beg for food， although by now I felt weak and faint. At the baker’s ，I offered to exchange my leather gloves for a small cake， but the baker’s wife looked at my dirty clothes and said，“ I'm sorry， but how do I know you haven’t stolen them？” All I ate that day was a piece of bread，which I begged from a farmer eating his supper. I spend another night on the moor，but this time the air was cold and the ground was damp. Next day I walked from house to house again， looking in vain for work. I was now very weak from lock of food， and I began to wonder why I should struggle to stay alive， when I did not want to live.
It was getting dark again ，and I was alone on the moor. In the distance I could see a faint light， and l decided to try to reach it . The wind and rain beat down on me， and I fell down several times， but finally I arrived at a long， low house，standing rather isolated in the middle of moor. Hiding near the door，l could just see into the kitchen through a small uncurtained window. There was an elderly woman， who might be the housekeeper， mending clothes， and two young ladies，who seemed to be learning a language with dictionaries. The kitchen looked so clean and bright ，and the ladies so kind and sensible， that l dared to knock at the door. The elderly woman opened it， but she must have thought I was a thief or a beggar， because she refused to let me speak to the young ladies. The door closed the firmly，shutting me out from the warmth inside.

Part 5 在摩尔屋
Chapter 73 寻找栖身地
乘马车行进了两天后，我在威特考斯下车，一个沼泽地上的十字路口。马车走后，我才意识到自己把包裹忘在了车上，钱包里的所有硬币又都给了车夫。我孤零零的站在旷野上，身无分文，一无所有。白色的道路孤独的延伸在广阔的草地上，一直通到山脚下。我很高兴，这里看不到乡镇，因为我不想让别人问我或是可怜我。于是我走过沼泽地，直到在小山脚下的避风处找到一块可以睡觉的干地方，所幸夜晚是温暖的，没有下雨。第二天阳光灿烂，天气很热，但我需要食物和水，所以不能站在沼泽地上呆下去。
我沿着一条白茫茫的路走着，终于找到一个小村子。我鼓起自己所有的勇气，敲响了一些人家的门，打听是否有什么能挣钱的活可干。村里没人能帮助我，而且尽管我感到虚弱头晕，却不能让自己去乞讨。在面包店，我想用皮手套换一小块点心，但面包师的妻子却看着我的脏衣服说：“对不起，可我怎么知道这不是你偷的呢？” 一整天我只吃了一片面包，是从一个正吃晚饭的农民那儿讨来的。我在沼泽地上又过了一夜，但这夜天凉了，地上湿乎乎的。第二天我又挨家挨户的去找工作，一无所获。现在我因为没有食物，已变得非常虚弱，不想活了时开始纳闷自己为什么还拼命地要活着。
天又黑了，我只身一人在沼泽地上。看到远处有微弱的灯光，便决定到那儿去。风裹着雨打在我的身上，我跌倒了好几次，但终于还是走到了一幢孤零零立在沼泽地中间的长长的矮房子前。我藏在门边，只能从一个没挂帘子的小窗看到厨房。一位上年纪的妇人，可能是管家，正在补衣服，还有两个年轻姑娘似乎正借助字典学外语。厨房看上去干净明亮，姑娘们显得那么善良知理，于是我壮着胆子敲了门。年长的妇人开了门，但她一定以为我是一个小偷或乞丐，因为她不让我和两位年轻姑娘讲话。门紧紧关上了，把我和屋里的温暖断然隔开。
