马龙在桌子下踩灭了他的雪茄。“你会是个非常忙碌的女孩。你有什么成果了吗？”
Malone stamped out his cigar under the desk. “You’re going to be a very busy girl. Have you acplished anything yet?”
她摇了摇头。“给我点时间。对了，你有钱吗？”
She shook her head. “Give me time. Say, have you got any money?”
“当然。” 他伸手去拿钱包。“你需要多少？”
“Sure.” He reached for his wallet. “How much do you need?”
“我不需要钱。我以为你可能需要。毕竟，你昨天还身无分文呢。我昨晚打了桥牌。”
“I don’t need any. I thought you might. After all, you were broke yesterday. I played bridge last night.”
“我打扑克。” 马龙说着，把钱包放了回去。
“I played poker,” Malone said, putting the wallet back.
“那好吧。” 她松了一口气说。“你自己的谋杀案进展如何了？”
“Then that’s all right,” she said in a relieved tone. “How’s your own murder ing along?”
“这不是我的谋杀案。” 他告诉她，“而且也没有进展。” 他把当天的进展情况都告诉了她，小心地省略了杰克在这件事中所起的作用。
“It’s not my murder,” he told her, “and it’s not ing along.” He told her of the day’s developments, carefully omitting Jake’s part in the affair.
他说完后，海伦说：“要么是那个警察在说谎，要么是乔天使在说谎，肯定是那个警察。一个酒保是不会说谎的。”
When he had finished, Helene said, “Either the cop or Joe the Angel is lying, and it must be the cop. A bartender wouldn’t tell a lie.”
“这个警察也不会。” 马龙说。“他从马克斯?胡克那里拿了太多贿赂，所以他肯定是诚实的。” 他点燃一支新雪茄。“哦，好吧，只要冯?弗拉纳根不来烦我，我就不在乎。你什么时候和杰克和好？”
“Neither would this cop,” Malone said. “He takes too many bribes from Max Hook to be anything but honest.” He lit a fresh cigar. “Oh well, as long as von Flanagan leaves me alone, I don’t care. When are you going to make up with Jake?”
她看了他一眼，让他很不舒服。“我要把赌场的地契送给他，就这样结束了。” 她扣上外套最上面的扣子，从椅子扶手上拿起一条巨大的狐皮围巾。“莫娜让我带你一起回去喝鸡尾酒。她有几个住家客人，可能还会有其他人来。”
She gave him a look that set his teeth on edge. “I’m going to send him the deed to the Casino, and that’s the finish.” She fastened the top clasp of her coat and picked up an enormous fox fur from the arm of her chair. “Mona told me to bring you back with me for a cocktail. She has a few house guests, and there may be a few others in.”
