“我想不起来了。”
“I can’t remember.”
然后他又躺回到枕头上睡着了。
Then he lay back on the pillow and went to sleep.
“看到了吧？” 过了一会儿马龙说，“在他清醒过来之前，我们从他那儿什么也问不出来。与此同时，如果你们俩都莫名其妙地从莫娜?麦克莱恩家失踪了……”
“There, you see?” Malone said after a moment. “We won’t get anything out of him till he’s sobered up. In the meantime, if both of you are found inexplicably missing from Mona McClane’s—”
海伦遗憾地叹了口气。“我想你是对的。我回家去。但我明天会再来这儿。到那时他应该清醒得足以说话了。”
Helene sighed regretfully. “I suppose you’re right. I’ll go home. But I’ll be back here tomorrow. He ought to be sobered up enough to talk by that time.”
“他会的。” 马龙严峻地说。“你能在不吵醒全家人的情况下回到莫娜?麦克莱恩家吗？”
“He will be,” Malone said grimly. “Can you get into Mona McClane’s without waking up the whole house?”
“很容易。莫娜给她所有的住客都配了侧门的钥匙。”
“Easily. Mona gives all her house guests keys to the side door.”
他赞许地点点头。“那你回家去吧，睡一会儿。”
He nodded approvingly. “Go on home, then, and get some sleep.”
她在门口停了一下。“好好照顾他，马龙。他看起来真是该死的年轻。” 然后她就走了。
She paused at the door. “Take good care of him, Malone. He does look so goddamned young.” She was gone.
马龙看着床上的人。这将是一项漫长而艰巨的任务。他看了看表。三点了。好吧，这不是他第一次为了一个正当的理由而错过一晚上的睡眠了。
Malone looked at the figure on the bed. It was going to be a long and arduous job. He glanced at his watch. Three o’clock. Well, it wouldn’t be the first time he’d missed a night’s sleep in a good cause.
他给药店打了个详细的订单，给餐厅打电话要求每隔一小时送一壶咖啡来，走进自己的房间，把剩下的一夸脱黑麦威士忌拿了过来。那是给他自己的。
He phoned a detailed order to the drugstore, called the restaurant to send up pots of coffee at hourly intervals, went into his own room, and collected the remaining quart of rye. That was for himself.
有那么一瞬间，他与诱惑作斗争。也许就睡一个小时……
For only a moment he wrestled with temptation. Perhaps just an hour’s sleep—
不，睡觉只能等一等了。他深深地、遗憾地叹了口气，脱下外套，卷起袖子，走进浴室，开始往浴缸里放冰冷的水。
No, sleep would have to wait. He sighed heavily and regretfully, took off his coat, rolled up his sleeves, went into the bathroom, and began filling the tub with ice-cold water.
