The words of a great womanとは 意味・読み方・使い方

The old woman testified that she had gone directly to the house of her son, and later had discovered that she had forgotten some articles of clothing which she needed; that thereupon she had returned to the house and had gone up the back way to her room,— this was about eight o'clock; that while there she had heard Nina San Croix's voice in great passion and remembered that she had used the words stated by the policemen; that these sudden, violent cries had frightened her greatly and she had bolted the door and been afraid to leave the room; shortly thereafter, she had heard heavy footsteps ascending the stairs, slowly and with great difficulty, as though some one were carrying a heavy burden; that therefore her fear had increased and that she had put out the light and hidden under the bed.発音を聞く 例文帳に追加

老家政婦はこう証言した。自分は息子の家に身を寄せたが、その後で当面必要な衣服を何着か屋敷に忘れてきたことに気づき、屋敷に戻って今まで自分がいた部屋に入った。大体八時頃だった。その時、ニーナ・サン・クロワのけたたましい怒鳴り声が聞こえてきた。警官が述べたような言葉を使っていたことを覚えている。突然そんな罵声が聞こえてきたからとても驚き、出ていくのが怖くなったから、ドアにカギをかけて部屋に閉じこもった。少ししたら、誰かが階段を上る音が聞こえてきた。一歩一歩がゆっくりで、何か重いものを持っているみたいな感じだった。それを聞くとますます怖くなり、部屋の明かりを消してベッドの下に身を隠した。 - Melville Davisson Post『罪体』
