before I took my leave of this dreary place , I was cornered by an eccentric old man who seemed to an endless supply of anecdotes and folksy wisdom to impart .在我起身離開這個沉悶的地方之前,我遇到一個奇怪的老者,他好像有著無窮的秘密和智慧能夠告訴我。

+dreary yard

what was there to count ? there was only a bare , dreary yard to be seen , and the blank side of the brick house twenty feet away .外面有什么好數的呢?外面只看到一個空蕩蕩的沉悶的院子,還有20英尺開外那磚房的側墻,上面什么也沒有。
