  I may tell you now, that Watty Oliver knows it was your child, for he saw her limping along after the gypsy at Galla-Brigg; 现在可以告诉你们,沃蒂·奥利弗认识你们的女儿,当时在加拉·布瑞格,他看见露西一跛一拐地跟在那吉卜赛女人身后,
  but, having no suspicion, he did not take a second look at her, but one look is sufficient, and he swears it was bonny Lucy Forester. 由于压根没怀疑,他只不过看了那孩子一眼,一眼就足够了。他发誓,那孩子就是漂亮的小露西·福斯特。
