L58-2: A spot of bother
Her first impulse was to go round all the rooms looking for the thieves, but then she decided that at her age it might be more prudent深谋远虑的 to have someone with her, so she went to fetch the porter 行李员 from his basement地下室. By this time her legs were beginning to tremble, so she sat down and accepted a cup of very strong tea, while he telephoned the police. Then, her composure 镇静regained, she was ready to set off with the porter's assistance to search for any intruders侵入者 who might still be lurking in her flat. They went through the rooms, being careful to touch nothing, as they did not want to hinder the police in their search for fingerprints. The chaos混乱 was inconceivable难心置信的.
