Jake stared at her. She wasn’t a pretty girl, in fact her dead-white face was definitely on the plain side, but she certainly was a striking one. She was tall, even taller than Helene, and her hair was like a prairie fire. She was dressed in slightly soiled denim slacks.
“你们在找我们吗？” 马龙礼貌地问道。
“Were you looking for us?” Malone asked politely.
“我跟她说过她不该来这儿。” 小个子男人焦急地说。“我跟她说她这样到处乱逛不好看，尤其是她还穿成这样。” 他的脸不开心地皱了起来。
“I told her she shouldn’t e here,” the little man said anxiously. “I told her it didn’t look well for her to go wandering all over, especially dressed the way she is.” His face wrinkled unhappily.
“你们似乎识我们。” 杰克说。“来点反馈怎么样？”
“You seem to know us,” Jake said. “How about a little reciprocity?”
“我是弗洛伦斯?佩维利。” 女孩说，“这是亨利叔叔。”
“I’m Florence Peveley,” the girl said, “and this is Uncle Henry.”
“你瞧？” 亨利叔叔说。“她父亲从今天下午一点十五分才去世，她就穿着这样满镇跑。” 他求助地看着马龙。“人们会怎么想？”
“You see?” Uncle Henry said. “Here her father’s only been dead since one-fifteen this afternoon, and she’s going all over town, dressed like that.” He looked appealingly at Malone. “What will people think?”
“我才不在乎人们怎么想。” 弗洛伦斯?佩维利不耐烦地说。“从来不在乎，现在也不想开始在乎。听着，你 ——” 她在对马龙说话 ——“我了解你的一切。有个记者差不多把你的生平都告诉我了。谢天谢地你在这儿。你得为此做点什么。”
“I don’t give a good red damn what people think,” Florence Peveley said impatiently. “Never have, and I don’t intend to start in now. Look here, you” - she was addressing Malone - “I know all about you. One of those reporters told me your life history, practically. Thank God you’re here. You’ve got to do something about this.”
马龙眨了眨眼。“关于什么？”
Malone blinked. “About what?”
她怒视着他。“那个疯治安官把杰瑞以谋杀罪关起来。这太荒谬了。杰瑞是我这辈子见过的最大的傻瓜，但他不会杀人，尤其是不会杀爸爸。”
She scowled at him. “That insane sheriff locking Jerry up for murder. It’s absurd. Jerry’s the damnedest fool I ever knew in my life, but he wouldn’t murder anybody, especially Pa.”
