Peter Pan 010 – Chapter X.THE HAPPY HOME – 003

The meal happened to be a make-believe tea, and they sat around the board, guzzling in their greed; and really, what with their chatter and recriminations, the noise, as Wendy said, was positively deafening.
To be sure, she did not mind noise, but she simply would not have them grabbing things, and then excusing themselves by saying that Tootles had pushed their elbow.
There was a fixed rule that they must never hit back at meals, but should refer the matter of dispute to Wendy by raising the right arm politely and saying, “I complain of so-and-so;” but what usually happened was that they forgot to do this or did it too much.

“Silence,” cried Wendy when for the twentieth time she had told them that they were not all to speak at once.
“Is your mug empty, Slightly darling?”

“Not quite empty, mummy,” Slightly said, after looking into an imaginary mug.

“He hasn’t even begun to drink his milk,” Nibs interposed.

This was telling, and Slightly seized his chance.

“I complain of Nibs,” he cried promptly.

1. The meal happened / to be / a make-believe tea, / and they sat / around the board, / guzzling / in their greed; / and really, / what with their / chatter and recriminations, / the noise, / as Wendy said, / was positively deafening.

   식사는 거짓 차 마시기 놀이였고, 그들은 욕심 많은 모습으로 판 주위에 앉아 꿀꺽꿀꺽 마셨다; 사실, 웬디 말대로, 그들의 수다와 책망으로 인해 소음이 정말 귀청이 터질 듯했다.

   식사 중에 절대 반격해서는 안 된다는 정해진 규칙이 있었고, 오른팔을 예의 바르게 들고 “제가 누구누구에 대해 불평합니다”라며 웬디에게 문제를 제기해야 했지만, 보통은 그들이 이를 잊어버리거나 너무 많이 하곤 했다.
