Almost at the same moment, the bell of the great gate rang again, and a loud noise of feet and voices came pouring into the courtyard.

几乎就在同一时间，大门的钟声再次响起，一阵嘈杂的脚步声和说话声涌入院中。

Louis entered the gates, rang the bell, and looked around. Here the trees and rooks seemed older, if possible, than those in the Close behind him. Everything was dignified, and he felt himself like Punchinello in the king's chambers.

路易斯走进大门，按了门铃，环顾四周。如果可能的话，这里的树木和白嘴鸦似乎比他身后小巷里的那些要老。一切都很庄严，他觉得自己就像国王寝室里的笨蛋。
