In such an exigence my uncle 's advice and assistance would be everything in the world .

情况如此紧急，非请舅父前来协助指点不可。

One consolation however remained for them , to which the exigence of the moment gave more than usual propriety ; it was that of running with all possible speed down the steep side of the hill which led immediately to their garden gate .

不过，她们还有个聊以自慰的地方：在这紧急关头，也是显得异常得当的，她们可以用最快的速度跑下陡峭的山坡，径直冲到她们的花园门口。
