When this night had worn away thus far the child would close the window, and steal softly down stairs.

当黑夜消磨到更深人静时，孩子便把窗户关上，轻轻地摸着下楼。

On these occasions Mother would steal out quietly, watching me from a place where I could not see her.When I calmed down, she would come back softly and gaze at me with sad eyes.

母亲就悄悄得躲出去，在我看不见的地方偷偷地听着我的动静。当一切恢复沉寂，她又悄悄地进来，眼边红红的，看着我。
