马龙睁开另一只眼睛。“你怎么来这儿的？” 他有点傻乎乎地说。他对着自己的房间眨了一两次眼，然后说：“说到这个，我到底是怎么到这儿来的？”
Malone opened the other eye. “How did you get here?” he said a little stupidly. He blinked once or twice at his room, and said, “For that matter, how the hell did I get here?”
“我坐飞机来的。” 杰克?贾斯特说。他又生气地补充道：“我不知道你是怎么到这儿的，但从你的样子来看，我敢打赌你也是飞过来的 —— 直接从窗户飞进来的。”
“I flew,” Jake Justus said. He added crossly, “I don’t know how you got here, but judging by the way you look, I’d be willing to bet you flew, too—right through the window.”
“飞？哦，对。我知道了。我给你汇了路费。” 律师在床上坐起来，露出一大片棕色的、多毛的胸膛。“真好啊，在我身无分文的时候给我发电报要钱。”
“Flew? Oh yes. I know. I wired you the fare.” The lawyer sat up in bed, exposing a broad expanse of brown, hairy chest. “A fine thing, wiring me for money when I was dead broke.”
“身无分文。” 杰克重复道。“你在开玩笑吧？”
“Broke,” Jake repeated. “Are you kidding me?”
“我没开玩笑。我从马克斯?胡克那里借了三百块，而且我今天得还回去，天知道怎么还。”
“I am not kidding you. I borrowed three hundred bucks from Max Hook and I’ve got to pay it back today, God knows how.”
红发男人瞪大了眼睛，难以置信地盯着他。“你疯了吗？”
The red-haired man stared at him in wide-eyed incredulity. “Have you lost your mind?”
“我一直在说钱的事。” 马龙愤慨地说。“但我的理智还在。”
“I’ve been talking about money,” Malone said indignantly. “But the mind checked in here with me.”
“那这些东西怎么会在这儿？” 杰克从梳妆台上拿起两张皱巴巴的百元钞票，把它们抚平，在律师鼻子底下晃了晃。
“Then what the hell are these doing here?” Jake picked two badly crumpled hundred-dollar bills off the dresser, smoothed them out, and waved them under the lawyer’s nose.
马龙盯着它们看了足足有六十秒，然后倒回枕头上，把被子拉到下巴处。
Malone looked at them for a good sixty seconds, then sank back on the pillow and pulled the covers up to his chin.
“我感觉糟透了。”
“I feel terrible.”
“你看起来糟透了。” 杰克毫不留情地说。他在废纸篓旁边的地上找到一个几乎装满的一品脱杜松子酒瓶子，往杯子里倒了差不多两英寸深的酒，递给备受打击的律师。“振作起来。” 他若有所思地看着瓶子，最后把瓶子举到嘴边，数了十个数才盖上盖子。
“You look terrible,” Jake said unsympathetically. He located a pint bottle of gin, nearly full, on the floor beside the wastebasket, poured a good two inches of it into a glass, and handed it to the stricken lawyer. “Pull yourself together.” He looked thoughtfully at the bottle and finally held it to his lips for a good long count of ten before recapping it.
