如果我没有搞错的话，这是一个韦氏巴顿公司的分店。

富裕人家是它的常客。

每天上学，我都要从小店门口路过。

好多次，我停在门口，手里攥着硬币，打算买点便宜的糖块，水果糖，或麦芽糖。

2但有一天，我走进店铺，发现里头空无一人，不但没有顾客，也没有售货员。

门上的弹簧挂着个小铃铛。

我进去的时候，门铃响过来着，但是要么是里屋没有人，要么是房子里头的人没有听见，反正里头只有我一个人。

玻璃制的后门挂着打褶的帘子。

一开始，这空空荡荡让我惊奇，吓了我一跳。

甚至给我一种不可思议的神密感觉。

所以我开始审视四周。

以前我从来没有机会，在不受干扰的情况下，好好看一看这令人愉悦的地方。

3这是一间窄条房子，天花板挺高，从地面到房顶，满堆着好东西。

一排排的，一层层的，各种各样，各种颜色的火腿和香肠——白的，黄的，红的和黑的，肥的，瘦的，圆的，长的——一行行的罐装食品，可可粉和茶。

明亮的半透明的瓶子装着蜂蜜，粗果酱和细果酱。

圆瓶子，长瓶子装着酒和宾治——所有这些东西，把货架从底到顶塞得满满的。

还有玻璃柜，里头摆着盘装的熏鲭鱼，八目鳗，川鲽，和鳝鱼，钓人的胃口。

4还有一碟碟的意大利色拉，小龙虾在一块块的冰块上伸展着它们的脚。

压偏的西鲱鱼在敞开的箱子里闪着金光。

还有分了大小的水果——家种草莓果和葡萄，美得就象是从天堂里来的。

一排排的沙丁鱼罐头，以及土罐装的鱼子酱和鹅肝。

在最高一层架子上，胖乎乎的小鸡把脖子耷拉下来。

还有一托盘一托盘的熟肉，火腿，口条（舌头），牛肉和小牛肉，熏大马哈鱼和鹅胸脯，边上放着锋利的切肉刀，垂手可得。

在钟形的玻璃罩子下，罩着各种各样的乳酪，土红的，奶白的，白大理石色的，还有一些是奶油状的，溢出盛它们的金属箔，留下一道道的金黄色的波汶。

洋蓟，一捆捆的芦荀，块菌，银纸包的小小的肝肠—所有的这些东西都满满地堆放在那里。

而在其他的桌面上，摆着打开盖子的箱子，里头满是优质的饼干，加了香料的饼，十字交叉地一层层堆放着，玻璃缸里满满地装着吃甜食用的糖果和果脯。
