Those fools down at the office would have it that Beresford wasn't here any longer — hadn't been here since Wednesday.

办公室里的那些傻瓜会认为贝雷斯福德不再在这里了——自星期三以来就没来过这里。

I wanted him to have been called Beresford, to which he had a kind of right, but your father thought he had better not.

我希望他被称为贝雷斯福德， 他有某种权利， 但你父亲认为他最好不要。

Next thing I did was to write out a wire to Beresford saying where I was, and that I was laid up with a sprained foot, and telling him to come down if he wasn't busy.

接下来我做的是给贝雷斯福德写一封电报， 告诉他我在哪里， 我的脚扭伤了， 并告诉他如果他不忙就下来。
