So at my peril, I broke the second rule and made it home just before the Iron Duke returned from his business in the city of San Jose.

因此，我冒着危险，违反了第二条规则，在“铁公爵”从圣何塞城的公务回来之前回到了家里。

I had received strict orders from my sister to call for him at the Three Jolly Bargemen, that evening, on my way from school, and bring him home at my peril.

那天晚上，在离开学校的路上，我接到姐姐的严格命令，要他在三乔利驳船队叫他回家，而我处于危险之中。
