Audiobook Dictation: “How warm it would have been…”

How warm it would have been in the orchard!

果樹園ならどんなに暖かかっただろう！

"I'm freezing," she said suddenly; "let's go and have some tea."

「凍えそう」と彼女は不意に言った。「お茶を飲みに行きましょう」

"Of course, if you like," he said uncomfortably; yet she could see he was glad that she had broken that desolate silence.

「もちろん、君がよければ」と彼は落ち着かない様子で言った。けれども、彼女があのわびしい沈黙を破ったことを彼が喜んでいるのが、彼女にはわかった。

Seated at a marble table--the place was nearly empty--she furtively watched his face in the glass, and what she saw there thrilled her.

大理石のテーブルについて――店はほとんど空いていた――、彼女は鏡に映る彼の顔をこっそりうかがい、そこに見たものに胸を震わせた。

Some great sorrow had come to him.

何か大きな悲しみが彼を襲ったのだ。

And she had been sulking!

それなのに、私はすねていたなんて！

The girl in the orchard would have known at a glance.

果樹園の娘なら、一目で気づいたことだろう。

She would have shared his sorrow, and shown herself "half wife, half angel from heaven" in this dark hour.

その娘なら彼の悲しみを分かち合い、この暗いときに「半ば妻、半ば天使」の姿を見せたことだろう。

Well, it was not too late.

まあ、まだ遅すぎはしない。

She could begin now.

今から始めればいいのだ。
