spindly

Big drops were dripping from a broken waterspout , and a ray of gaslight slipped from mme bron s window and cast a yellow glare over a patch of moss - clad pavement , over the base of a wall which had been rotted by water from a sink , over a whole cornerful of nameless filth amid which old pails and broken crocks lay in fine confusion round a spindling tree growing mildewed in its pot 大滴大滴的水珠從水管的裂縫中滴下來。一道煤氣燈的燈光從布太太的窗子里射進來,把一段長了苔蘚的路面一段被廚房的排水溝的污水侵蝕了的墻根及整個堆滿了垃圾的角落映成了黃色,垃圾中有舊水桶和破壇碎罐,一口破鍋內竟然長出了一棵瘦小的衛矛。
