Creighton was going along a West End square when he saw a little fellow trying to reach the knocker of a large house.

Can't you reach up so high? queried¹ the Bishop² kindly³.

No, sir, said the small youngster.

The little boy glanced hastily（匆忙地） at the gentleman of the cloth. Come on, he yelled, we must both run.

当克莱顿主教沿着伦敦西区的一个广场走着的时候，他 看见一个小家伙正试图抓住一所大房子的门环。

你是不是够不到这么高的地方呢？主教好意地问。

是的，先生。那小孩说。

那个小男孩急忙给教士递上一个眼色。快跑，他喊着：我们俩都得跑。
