“你这样谈论你订婚的男人可不好。” 亨利叔叔不赞成地说。
“That’s a fine way to talk about the man you’re engaged to,” Uncle Henry said disapprovingly.
“去他的那些。” 红发女孩说。“你到底要不要做点什么？”
“The hell with all that,” the red-haired girl said. “Are you going to do something, or aren’t you?”
“你想让他做什么？” 海伦热心地问。
“What do you want him to do?” Helene asked helpfully.
“找出到底是谁 —— 对不起，是谁杀了爸爸，然后把杰瑞从监狱里弄出来。我不能让我的未婚夫在监狱里，这看起来太糟糕了。” 她对海伦微笑着。“我喜欢你，你看起来很有头脑。”
“Find out who the hell - pardon me, who killed Pa, and get Jerry out of jail. I can’t have my fiance in jail, it looks like the devil.” She smiled at Helene. “I like you, you look as if you had sense.”
“谢谢。” 海伦说，“我有头脑。我也喜欢你。我一直希望我有一头红发。”
“Thanks,” Helene said, “I have. I like you, too. I always wished I had red hair.”
“是吗？在这样的天气里这可真是个大麻烦，头发太多了。” 她又转向马龙。“你几乎可以开价，我有很多钱。至少我希望我有。” 她看着忧心忡忡的亨利叔叔。“爸爸从来没改过遗嘱，是吗？”
“Do you? It’s a terrible nuisance in weather like this, there’s so much of it.” She turned back to Malone. “You can practically name your fee, I have plenty of money. At least I hope I have.” She looked at the worried Uncle Henry. “Pa never did change his will, did he?”
白发男人无言地摇了摇头。“谢天谢地。如果我以为他是认真的，我自己都会开枪打死他。你觉得这会花我多少钱，马龙先生？”
The white-haired man shook his head speechlessly. “Thank God. If I’d thought he really meant it, I’d have shot him myself. How much do you think it ought to set me back, Mr. Malone?”
“我打算明天早上回芝加哥。” 小律师生硬地开始说道。
“I am planning to go back to Chicago tomorrow morning,” the little lawyer began stiffly.
她打断他，说了两个令人吃惊的音节，然后又说：“一千，两千，不管这对你来说值多少钱。开个价吧。”
She interrupted him with two startling syllables, and added, “A thousand, two thousand, whatever it’s worth to you. Name it.”
“一万。” 马龙不顾一切地说。“这价格可不低。五千怎么样？”
“Ten thousand,” Malone said recklessly. “That’s pretty steep. How about five?”
“我折中一下。” 他本能地说。“好。七千五。但现在就开始，动作快点。走吧，亨利叔叔。” 她转身朝门口走去。
