These men misconducted themselves in the hall with talking to many women loudly.

这些人在大厅里和许多女士大声讲话，行为不检点。

The windows were so high up that one could not look outside, and the sole ornament was a set of rules threatening dire penalties to any casual who misconducted himself.

窗户高高在上，没有人能看到外面的情况，要说有什么装饰物，那就是墙上挂着的一整套条例或制度之类，内容无非是些骇人的、针对行为不当的无业游民的惩治措施。
