Mr toots , who had been detained by an important letter from the duke of wellington , found paul out after a time ; and having looked at him for a long while , as before , inquired if he was fond of waistcoats .
As the vacation approached , and mr toots breathed harder and stared oftener in paul 's society , than he had done before , paul knew that he meant he was sorry they were going to lose sight of each other , and felt very much obliged to him for his patronage and good opinion .
Toots appeared to be the only exception to this rule .
图茨看来是唯一的例外。
For toots had lifted him into the seat , and done it kindly too .
因为图茨已把他举到座位上,而且态度很亲切地做了这件事。
It was perfectly understood between paul and mr toots , that they were intimate friends , notwithstanding their distance in point of years and station .
保罗与图茨先生完全明白,他们虽然在年龄与身份上存在着差别,但是他们是亲密的朋友。
Mr toots , seeing florence in tears , had great difficulty in getting beyond this point , and had nearly tumbled into the well again .
