#243 森茉莉「贅沢貧乏」
寝台の後の壁に附けて置かれた書棚の上は、魔利の部屋――実際には部屋ともいえないが、魔利にとっては美しい、夢の部屋である。
Vocabulary:
森茉莉 もりまり Mori Mari (author, 1903-1987)
寝台 ベッド bed
魔利 マリア Maria (name of protagonist)
Translation:
Above the bookshelf that was placed against the wall behind the bed was Maria’s room. You could not call it a room, really, but to Maria it was beautiful, a dream room.
Link for the text I used:
魔利さんかわいそう... interesting choice of kanji for her name by the author though. Makes me think she’s an evil supernatural creature (魔) that gets exploited (利). I think I’m pretty off the mark though haha.
森茉莉 Mori Mari

Nowadays, 寝台 しんだい, is more like a cot or crib in a cabin, ship, train.
