Nws tau mus rau lub chav tsev, raws li nws yog - qhov zoo tshaj plaws qhov chaw nyob qhov twg koj yuav quaj thiab xav tias thov txim rau koj tus kheej; vim hais tias nws yog tsaus ntuj nti thiab nyob ntsiag to. Room cluttered nrog cov laus rooj tog, uas tsaus nti yuav kub hnyiab tau thiab tseem ceeb portraits ntawm cov laus gentlemen nyob rau hauv wigs, frilly tej hauv siab kaus mom, thiab cov me nyuam, hnav khaub ncaws nyob rau hauv ib tug luv luv-haired lub tsho tiv no los yog ib tug hnav ris tsho nrog lub siab lub duav rov sauv. Qhov no yog ib qho zoo heev qhov chaw nyuaj siab, thiab ib tug drizzly caij nplooj ntoos hlav los nag, raws li yog hais hais tias, khob ntawm lub qhov rais pane: "quaj, quaj: Kuv nrog koj."

Thaum Rose nws yog tiag ib tug yog vim li cas rau txoj kev xav: nws twb tsis muaj leej niam, thiab nws nyuam qhuav tau poob nws txiv, uas tau sab laug nws tsis muaj dab tsi tab sis cov neeg laus cov phauj. Nws nyob nrog lawv xwb ib lub lim tiam, thiab yog li ntawd, poj niam laus sim tig lub sij hawm no nyob rau hauv qhov zoo tshaj plaws lub sij hawm ntawm koj nyob twj ywm nrog lawv, txawm hais tias lawv yog tsis heev ua tau zoo, vim hais tias kuv tus phauj coj kev kho mob ntawm nws, tsis muaj teeb meem yuav ua li cas muaj lwm yam tus me nyuam, lawv crushed nws nrog nws zov, cia li tawg tawm ntawm nws tis zoo li ib tug npauj npaim.

Lawv tau muab nws txoj kev ywj pheej nyob hauv tsev, thiab rau ob peb hnub, nws entertained nws tus kheej taug kev los ntawm cov chav. Vim nws yog ib tug laus tsev loj, nws yog tag nrho ntawm tag nrho cov hom ntawm nooks, charming chav thiab mysterious cai huv nam. Lub qhov rais qhib nyob rau hauv cov chaw npaj txhij, heev romantic zoo me me lub sam thiaj overhanging hauv lub vaj, tiam sis tseem muaj ib tug ntev txheej tsev sab saud, crammed nrog mas yam, coj los ntawm tag nrho cov qhov chaw hauv lub ntiaj teb no; txij li thaum Campbell tsev neeg los ntawm tiam mus rau tiam twb hiav txwv captains.

Zoo phauj Pease sim tag nrho cov hom ntawm cov tshuab xaws thiab menyuam roj hmab wardrobe npaj li hais tias nws yuav kov lub plawv ntawm txawm tias ib tug neeg laus tus me nyuam. Tab sis Rose tsom me ntsis kev txaus siab rau cov liab satin lub kaus mom thiab ib tug tin hlau, uas nws tau xaws li mloog lus mus txog rau thaum tus phauj ntes tau nws so lub kua muag ntawm kev ua hauj lwm nyob rau hauv ib tug kab tshoob tiab, thiab qhov kev tshwm sim tau hla tag nrho cov hauj lwm hais txog xaws.

Ces ob tug qub poj niam, kev hais lus, raws li ib lub taub hau yog zoo, tab sis ob tug - zoo xaiv ib tug qauv tus me nyuam nyob ze, yog li nws ua si nrog lawv tus muam tus ntxhais. Tab sis Ariadne Blish yog qhov phem tshaj ntawm tag nrho cov kev Rose, uas yuav tsis tau dais nws tsos, nws hais tias nws zoo li ib tug ciab menyuam roj hmab, thiab ces nws mus txog tawm thiab pinched nws saib yuav ua li cas nws pisknet. Yog li, ib tug me ntsis pedantic Ariadne twb muab xa los tsev, thiab sab sab phauj Rose nyob ib leeg nrog nws rau ib hnub los yog ob tug.
