They was quite in a pother yesterday.

昨天他们吵得可开交。

And there was a great deal of bustle and pother about her in the castle and doctors came and the courtiers whispered.

整个城堡忙乱起来，医生来了，大臣们窃窃私语。

As to our own work, duty, influence, etc., concerning which so much fussy pother is made, it will not fail of its due effect, though, like a lichen on a stone, we keep silent.

至于我们自己的工作、职责、影响等，尽管如此，我们却像石头上的地衣一样， 保持沉默，会失去应有的效果。
