小王子 Chapter 12

This was a very short visit, but it plunged ¹ the little prince into deep dejection., ,"What are you doing there?" he said to the tippler, whom he found settled down in silence before a collection of empty bottles and also a collection of full bottles., ,"I am drinking," replied the tippler, with a lugubrious ² air., , ,"So that I may forget," replied the tippler., ,"Forget what?" inquired the little prince, who already was sorry for him., ,She lost her balance and plunged 100 feet to her death. 她没有站稳，从100英尺的高处跌下摔死了。,That long,lugubrious howl rose on the night air again!夜空中又传来了那又长又凄凉的狗叫声 。
