Pads of cotton-wool soaked in salad-oil seemed to take the agony from the strange wounds.

浸泡在色拉油中的棉减轻奇怪伤口的痛苦。

When this had been applied, they all sat down and had a little refreshment, and discussed plans for escaping from the Underworld.

大家都觉得他们已经获得斯克罗布所说的“片刻休息”。女巫刚才已经锁上门，而且吩咐地下人别来打她。因此目前没有被人打的危险。他们的第一件事当然是照料普德格伦烧伤的那只脚。他们从王子卧室里拿来两三件干净的衬衣，撕一条条，里面涂上晚饭桌上的黄油和色拉油，绝妙的敷料。敷好伤以后，他们都坐下吃一些茶点，讨论逃出地下世界的计划。

I set a bad example — married a poor clergyman, and made myself a pitiable object among the De Bracys — obliged to get my coals by stratagem, and pray to heaven for my salad oil.

我树立一个坏榜样——嫁给一个贫穷的牧师， 让自己为德布拉西家族中一个可怜的对象——不得不用计谋弄到我的煤， 并向天堂祈祷我的色拉油。
