The first thing Lucy noticed as she went in was a burring sound , and the first thing she saw was a kindlooking old she - beaver sitting in the corner with a thread in her mouth working busily at her sewing machine , and it was from it that the sound came . She stopped her work and got up as soon as the children came in .
Первое, что заметила Люси, войдя, было жужжание, и первое, что она увидела, была добрая старая бобрица, сидевшая в углу с ниткой во рту и усердно работавшая за швейной машинкой, и именно от нее звук появился. Она прекратила работу и встала, как только пришли дети.
