马龙盯着她，说：“该死，我不能去黄金海岸参加鸡尾酒会。你到底想把我拉进什么麻烦里？”
Malone stared at her and said, “Hell, I can’t go running around to Gold Coast cocktail parties. What are you trying to get me into, anyway?”
“我只是转达莫娜的邀请。我觉得你对她有一种致命的吸引力。”
“I’m just passing on Mona’s invitation. I think you have a fatal fascination for her.”
“好吧。” 马龙不高兴地说，“但我不会待很久。” 他戴上帽子，穿上大衣，徒劳地试图把领带弄直。他在接待室停了一下，说：“玛吉，回家吧。”
“Well,” Malone said crossly, “but I won’t stay long.” He put on his hat and overcoat and made an ineffectual effort to straighten his tie. He paused in the anteroom to say, “Maggie, go home.”
那个黑头发的女孩默默地、不赞成地看着他。
The black-haired girl looked at him silently and disapprovingly.
“别跟我说我应该待在办公室处理业务。这两天我们唯一的业务就是冯?弗拉纳根打来的电话。” 他带着海伦冲向电梯。
“And don’t tell me I ought to stay in the office and tend to business. The only business we’ve had in two days has been phone calls from von Flanagan.” He swept Helene out to the elevator.
在出租车上，他问：“莫娜?麦克莱恩有什么样的住家客人？”
In the taxi he asked, “What kind of house guests has Mona McClane?”
“各种各样的。一个叫洛特斯?艾伦的棕色头发小丫头。真的就叫洛特斯。完美的初次进入社交界的东方女子。迈克尔?文宁夫妇，刚从东方回来。你知道的文宁家族。他很无趣，但她很可爱。她有个女伴叫卢埃拉?怀特，看起来像个摔跤手教练，织毛衣像台机器，只织灰色毛衣。还有个年轻人叫彭德利?泰德韦尔。我让你自己去了解他。还有另一个年轻人，罗斯?麦克劳林，但我对他了解不多，因为他从新年起就一直在酗酒。哦，还有个叫图伊兹先生的人，我还没见过。他今天刚到。莫娜说她特别想让你见见他。”
“Assorted. A little brown-haired wench named Lotus Allen. Really named Lotus. The perfect Eastern debutante. Mr. and Mrs. Michael Venning, just back from the Orient. You know the Venning family, He’s very dull, but she’s rather sweet. She has a lady panion named Louella White who looks like a trainer for wrestlers and knits like a machine, nothing but gray sweaters. Then there’s a young man named Pendley Tidewell. I’ll let you find out about him for yourself. There’s another young man, Ross McLaurin, but I don’t know much about him because he’s been on a drunk since New Year’s. Oh, and a Mr. Tuesday, whom I haven’t met. He just came today. Mona said she especially wanted you to meet him.”
