I bethought me of making my brother the emissary of Doisy, the mouth-piece of my repentance and the mediator of pardon.

我想到让我的兄弟成为 Doisy 的使者， 成为我忏悔的代言人和赦免的调解人。

But, in spite of my nineteen years, perhaps because of them, my father persisted in the system which had sent me to school without food, to an academy without pocket-money, and had driven me into debt to Doisy.

但是，尽管我已经 19 岁了，也许是因为他们的缘故，我父亲仍然坚持让我没有食物就可以上学，没有零用钱就可以上学的制度，并使我欠了多伊西的债。
