最后，这位小律师站了起来。“有人挖过这里。”他转向亨利，“我想有人可能会在不被发现的情况下进到这里来四处挖掘。”
At last the little lawyer rose to his feet. “Somebody has been digging.” He turned to Henry. “I suppose it would be possible for someone to have e in here and dug around without being discovered.”
亨利点点头。“晚上除了我这里只有一个守夜人，而且大多数时间他都在另一个门那儿睡觉。一般来说，这里不需要太多看守。”
Henry nodded. “There’s just one watchman here besides me at night, and most of the time he’s asleep, down at the other gate. This ain’t a place that would need much watching, ordinarily.”
马龙默默地盯着被雪覆盖的土堆看了一会儿。
Malone stared silently at the snow-covered mound for a moment.
突然，他伸手去拿钱包，拿出一张十美元的钞票。
Suddenly he reached for his wallet and took out a ten-dollar bill.
“那样的话，我想可能会有其他人进到这里来——比如说，今晚——再挖一挖——只是为了弄清楚这里发生了什么事。”
“In that case, I suppose it might be possible for someone else to e in here—say, tonight—and do a little more digging—just to find out what happened here.”
这个像小矮人一样的男人眼睛发亮。“如果他们是你的朋友，马龙先生，而且他们从东门进来，我肯定没人会看到任何东西。”他干枯的老手指紧紧抓住钞票。“我想我不应该把这件事告诉其他人。”
The gnomelike man’s eyes glittered. “If they was friends of yours, Mr. Malone, and they came in at the east gate, I’m sure nobody’d see a thing.” His withered old fingers closed over the bill. “I don’t suppose I should tell anybody else about this.”
“谁也不能说。”马龙告诉他。
“Not a soul,” Malone told him.
直到他们再次回到街上，律师才发表任何评论。当他开口说话时，声音里带着一种敬畏。
Not until they had reached the street again did the lawyer offer any ment. When he did speak, there was a kind of awe in his voice.
“如果这都不算一项成就，那我就算看到成就也不会认识。谋杀一个已经死了二十多年的人。”他停顿了一下又补充道，“而且——还杀了两次！”
“If that isn’t an achievement, then I don’t know one when I see it. To murder a man who’s been dead for more than twenty years.” He paused and added, “And what’s more—to do it twice!”
