马龙探案卷四 之 正确的凶案 四
“但是你不能离开杰克。” 马龙愚蠢地说。“你们才刚结婚。”
“But you can’t have left Jake,” Malone said stupidly. “You’ve just married him.”
“我必须离开他才能离开他。” 海伦冷淡地说。“而且我已经离开了他。” 她坐在桌子的一角，点了一根烟。
“I had to, in order to be able to leave him,” Helene said coldly. “And I have left him.” She sat down on a corner of the desk and lit a cigarette.
“为什么？”
“Why?”
“我不会告诉你的。” 她的脸颊开始恢复了一点血色。“但不是因为你所想的那些原因。”
“I’m damned if I’ll tell you.” A little color began to e back into her cheeks. “But it wasn’t for any of the reasons you’re thinking about.”
马龙急忙说：“当然不是。” 他在口袋里摸索着找雪茄，最后找到了一根，点燃后说：“你怎么会身无分文呢？还是说你也不会告诉我这个原因？”
Malone said hastily, “Of course not.” He fumbled through his pockets for a cigar, finally found one, lit it, and said, “How e you’re broke, or are you damned if you’ll tell me that, either?”
“这是我离开杰克的部分原因。你刚才说这儿有喝的吗？”
“That’s part of the reason why I left Jake. Did you say there was a drink in the house?”
马龙在壁橱里的一顶旧草帽下找到了另一个杯子，擦了擦，拿出一瓶黑麦威士忌，把它平分到两个杯子里。他看得出这不够。想了一会儿，他拿起电话，拨了一个号码，说：“路易？我是马龙。马上给我送两夸脱黑麦威士忌来。什么？哦，是吗？我肯定是忘了。我马上给你寄张支票。快点送黑麦威士忌来。”
Malone located another glass under an old straw hat in the closet, dusted it, got the bottle of rye, and divided it into two equal parts. He could see it wasn’t going to be enough. After a moment’s reflection he picked up the phone, dialed a number, and said, “Louie? Malone speaking. Send me over a couple of quarts of rye, right away. What’s that? Oh, is it? It must have slipped my mind. I’ll send you a check right away. Hurry up with the rye.”
他猛地挂上电话。“我也身无分文。”
He banged down the telephone. “I’m broke, too.”
“多亲密啊。” 海伦评论道。“所以你终于遇到了一个喜欢珠宝的女孩。”
“How chummy,” Helene mented. “So you finally met a girl who liked jewelry.”
“是皮草。” 马龙有点脸红地说，“但你怎么知道的？”
“It was furs,” Malone said, coloring a little, “but how did you know?”
“我一直在上读心术的课。” 她拿起杯子，看了看，最后说：“一切都见鬼去吧。” 然后一饮而尽。
