Mr. Clark, who had watched Thornton closely for several weeks, said to Donald, “Thornton is proving himself a thoroughly useful man. Because his knowledge of the ranch and of the wool itself is so excellent, I shall make him foreman of the shipping department. In the meantime, before you start in with your studies, and before Thornton gets so rushed that he cannot be spared, I want to take you both to visit the Monitor Woolen Mills at Lawrence. Thornton has never seen the manufacture of woolen goods and will be the more intelligent for doing so. As for you, I am anxious to have you complete the story of wool-growing which you began at the Crescent Ranch.”
克拉克先生密切注视着桑顿好几个星期了，他对唐纳德说，“桑顿正在证明自己是一个非常有用的人。因为他对牧场和羊毛本身的知识是如此的渊博，所以我将任命他为运输部的领班。”同时，在你开始你的学习之前，在桑顿变得如此匆忙以至于不能幸免之前，我想带你们俩去看看莫尼托毛纺厂。桑顿从未见过羊毛制品的生产，因此他会更聪明。至于你，我很想让你讲完你在新月农场开始的养毛的故事。”
“I do want to know the rest of the story very much, father,”Donald replied.
“我很想知道故事的其余部分，爸爸，”唐纳德答道。
“It happens that some matters have come up which require me to go to the Monitor Mills tomorrow. I shall take Thornton with me, and if you wish, you may go also.”
“碰巧发生了一些事情，我明天需要去莫尼托毛纺厂。”
“Of course I’d like to go!”exclaimed Donald eagerly.
“我当然想去!”唐纳德急切地喊道。
