“It isn’t Jake Justus any more,” Jake said absent-mindedly, “I’m married now.” He thought for a moment and added, “I mean, this is my wife. This is Mrs. Justus.”
“你喝醉了。” 酒保怀疑地说。
“You’re drunk,” the bartender said suspiciously.
“也许吧。” 杰克告诉他，“但她仍然是我的妻子。” 他一口喝干了黑麦威士忌，示意海伦也喝掉，看了看表，站起身来，开始扣上大衣的扣子。“我们前天的前一天结婚了。”
“That may be,” Jake told him, “but she’s my wife just the same.” He downed his rye, motioned to Helene to do the same, looked at his watch, stood up, and began fastening his overcoat. “We were married day before day before yesterday.”
“哦，哦。” 酒保低声说，“恭喜。再来一杯，我请客。”
“Well, well,” the bartender murmured. “Congratulations. Have another on the house.”
“谢谢。” 杰克摇摇头说，“我们很想喝，但我们得去见我的律师。” 他向海伦挥挥手，让她往门口走，然后向酒保点点头道别，而酒保为这件事担心了好几天。
“Thanks,” Jake said, shaking his head. “We’d love to, but we’ve got to go see my lawyer.” He waved Helene to the door and nodded good-by to the bartender, who worried over the whole thing for days.
来到街上，海伦向一辆出租车招手。
Out in the street, Helene waved at a taxi.
“只有几个街区远。” 杰克开口说。
“It’s only a couple of blocks,” Jake began.
“我们现在还不去马龙的办公室。” 她说，“去州街和麦迪逊街。” 她对司机喊道。汽车在雪地里猛地向前冲去。
“We’re not going to Malone’s office yet,” she said. “State and Madison,” she called to the driver. The car lurched forward in the snow.
“这是要干什么？”
“What’s the idea?”
“你会知道的。你有多余的牙齿吗？”
“You’ll find out. Have you a tooth to spare?”
“一两个吧，如果是为了好的理由。为什么？”
“One or two, in a good cause. Why?”
“以牙还牙，两颗牙顶在头上也值了。” 她高兴地说，“我想看看弗雷特在冈布里尔被谋杀的时候正好在的那个牙医诊所。”
“A tooth for a tooth is worth two in the head,” she said happily. “I want to get a look at that dentist’s office Fleurette was in so conveniently when Gumbril was murdered.”
“哦，不，你不能这么做。” 杰克愤怒地说，“如果有必要，我可以为你把我嘴里的每一颗牙都打掉，但我绝对不会让人拔掉其中任何一颗。”
“Oh no you don’t,” Jake said indignantly. “I’ll have every tooth in my head knocked out for you, if needs be but I’m damned and double damned if I’ll have any of them pulled.”
