Wheels grated in the drive, a carriage and pair stood at the steps; there was a stampede from the dining-room, and the loud voices died away, to burst forth presently from the porch.

车轮在车道上发出磨擦声，一辆马车停在台阶上。餐厅里传来一阵踩踏声，响亮的声音逐渐减弱，很快就从门廊里传了出来。

For it is a solid, heavy, handsome door, and must once have been in the habit of shutting with a sonorous bang behind a liveried lackey, who had just seen his master and mistress off the grounds in a carriage and pair.

因为这是一扇坚固、沉重、漂亮的门，而且一定曾经习惯于在一个穿制服的仆人身后砰的一声关上，他刚刚看到他的主人和情妇乘着马车离开了场地。
