他们在公寓酒店前叫了一辆出租车，杰克说出了莫娜?麦克莱恩在湖滨大道的地址。马龙向前探身说：“但是首先，司机，去里基特酒吧。”
They hailed a taxi in front of the apartment hotel and Jake gave the Lake Shore Drive address of Mona McClane. Malone leaned forward and said, “But first, driver, go to Rickett’s.”
杰克说：“这是要干什么？”
Jake said, “What’s the idea?”
“我还没吃晚饭呢。空腹喝莫娜的苏格兰威士忌，我会一头栽倒的。我们先去吃点食物，然后再去和她好好谈谈。”
“I haven’t had any dinner yet. Mona’s Scotch on top of an empty stomach, and I’d fall flat on my face. We’ll get some food first, and then go and have a long talk with her.”
杰克重重地叹了口气，靠在坐垫上。能够离开这间他为他和海伦回到这个城市而租的公寓，感觉真好。并不是说这间公寓不好，而是它太容易让人想起过去。总之，这是沉闷的一天。
Jake sighed heavily, and leaned back against the cushions. It seemed good to be out of the apartment he had taken for his and Helene’s return to the city. Not that it wasn’t a nice apartment, but it was too damned reminiscent. All in all, it had been a dreary day.
“你想听听我了解到的过去三周芝加哥的凶杀案吗？”
“Do you want to hear what I found out about the Chicago homicides of the past three weeks?”
“以后再说。” 马龙说。
“Later,” Malone said.
出租车在里基特酒吧前停下。在通往酒吧的门口，马龙停了下来，一只手放在门把手上。他在酒吧里的人群中看到了一缕特定的金发。当然，这个城市可能还有其他女人有那种淡金色的头发，但他不想冒险。突然，他转过身，抓住杰克的胳膊，沿着芝加哥大道向西走去。
The cab dropped them in front of Rickett’s. At the door leading to the bar Malone paused, one hand resting on the knob. He had seen a certain shade of blonde hair among the heads at the bar. Of course there might be other women in the city with hair that particular pale gold, but he wasn’t taking any chances. Suddenly he wheeled around, took Jake by the arm, and started west on Chicago Avenue.
“你到底要干嘛？”
“Where the hell are you going?”
“刚想起来。我得打个电话。”
“Just remembered. Gotta make a phone call.”
“你不能从里基特酒吧打吗？”
“Couldn’t you make it from Rickett’s?”
“这个电话不行。”
“Not this call.”
在街角的药店，他走进去买了一枚硬币，然后走回电话亭。杰克对这一切看起来非常怀疑，在电话亭的门口徘徊。经过片刻的思考，马龙灵机一动，拨通了气象局的电话。他想知道那天下午有没有下过雪。
