At seven o'clock, the four members ascended to the clubroom, tied their badges round their heads, and took their seats with great solemnity.

七点钟，四位成员登上俱乐部活动室，把白布条系在头上，极为郑重其事地就座。

There were the business-like, with their little bags; there were the drifters rattling sticks upon area railings;there were affable characters to whom the streets serve for clubroom, hailing men in carts and giving information without being asked for it.

有务员， 带着他们小包；有流浪者在区域栏杆上发出嘎嘎声； 有和蔼可亲人物， 街道为俱乐部提供服务，招呼手推车里人， 并在没有被要求情况下提供信息。
