If, indeed, by any strange mischance his father should have gained intelligence of what she had dared to think and look for, of her causeless fancies and injurious examinations, she could not wonder at any degree of his indignation.

如果真因为某种奇怪误会，他父亲得知了她所和期待一切，得知了她那毫无根据幻和无理猜测，她也不会对他到惊讶。

A glance at the old chest, as she turned away from this examination, was not without its use; she scorned the causeless fears of an idle fancy, and began with a most happy indifference to prepare herself for bed.

她转过身去，不再查看那个旧箱子，这一眼并非毫无用处；她鄙视那些无端幻带来无稽之谈，开始以一种极为轻松态度准备睡觉。
