这是儿童经典著作“彼得 潘”的开始篇节,但是这段就是看不懂,不知道在说啥,求翻译,谢谢!

Mrs Darling was married in white, and at first she kept the books perfectly, almost gleefully, as if it were a game, not so much as a brussell sprout was missing; but by and by whole cauliflowers dropped out, and instead of them there were pictures of babies without faces. She drew them when she should have been totting up. They were Mrs Darling's guesses.

Wendy came first, then John, then Michael. (注：这三个是Mrs Darling的孩子）
