“胆小鬼。” 她冲他嚷道，“不管怎么说，牙医可能几个小时前就回家了。”
“Sissy,” she flung at him. “Anyway, the dentist probably went home hours ago.”
“海伦，理智点。”
“Helene, be reasonable.”
“你还不如把它拔掉呢。” 她安慰地说，“这总比牙疼好，而且你永远不知道会发生什么！”
“You might as well have it pulled,” she said soothingly-“It’s better than having the toothache, and you never know-!”
杰克沉默了。他开始有一种不舒服的感觉，觉得他嘴里的所有牙齿都开始疼了起来。
Jake was silent. He had begun to have an unfortable feeling that all the teeth in his head were beginning to ache.
尽管下着雪，时间也很晚了，但州街和麦迪逊街的拐角处仍然挤满了度假的人群。出租车在西北角停了下来。有一会儿，海伦站在那里，抬头望着那座俯瞰着约书亚?冈布里尔和他妹妹弗雷特被杀害的地方的办公楼。突然，她抓住杰克的胳膊，指向那座大楼。
Holiday crowds still swarmed about the corner of State and Madison, despite the snow and the lateness of the hour. The cab stopped on the northwest corner. For a moment Helene stood staring up at the office building that overlooked the spot where Joshua Gumbril and his sister Fleurette had been slain. Suddenly she caught Jake’s arm and pointed toward the building.
“就是那儿。”
“There it is.”
杰克抬头看着那排金色的字母，上面写着医生的名字，不禁打了个寒战。“海伦，我感觉不舒服。”
Jake looked up at the line of gold lettering that announced the doctor’s name, and shuddered. “Helene, I don’t feel well.”
“事情结束后你会感觉好点的。也许你可以吸点麻醉气。” 她把他拉进大楼，把他推向电梯。
“You’ll feel better when it’s over. Maybe you can take gas.” She dragged him into the building and shoved him toward the elevator.
当他们沿着走廊走的时候，一个女孩从医生的办公室走出来，随手关了灯，然后锁上了门。海伦赶紧跟她说话。
As they went down the corridor, a girl emerged from the doctor’s office, switching off the lights behind her, and locked the door. Helene hurried to speak to her.
“哦，我希望医生还没走。我丈夫有颗牙必须马上拔掉 —— 立刻。”
“Oh, I hope the doctor hasn’t gone. My husband has a tooth that has to e out at once-immediately.”
“听着。” 杰克无力地开口。
“Look here,” Jake began weakly.
女孩惊讶地看着他们。“这不是牙医诊所。对不起，但这栋楼里任何地方都没有牙医。也许你可以打电话给……”
The girl looked at them in surprise. “This isn’t a dentist’s office. I’m sorry, but there isn’t a dentist anywhere in the building. Maybe if you’d call the-”
