MR JONES, of the Manor Farm, had locked the hen-houses for the night, but was too drunk to remember to shut the pop-holes. With the ring of light from his lantern dancing from side to side he lurched across the yard, kicked off his boots at the back door, drew himself a last glass of beer from the barrel in the scullery, and made his way up to bed, where Mrs Jones was already snoring.
马诺农村的琼斯先生,把鸡关在鸡窝里,然而他喝多了以至于忘记关上门了。在灯笼的光线照射下,他边哼着歌边跳着舞蹒跚的穿过院子,将靴子甩在门后,拖着从厨房的他自己的酒桶里拿了最后一瓶啤酒,躺在了床上,可惜琼斯夫人早就已经睡着了
