“除了查理?豪森和他的助手以及尸体，没有人离开。”
“Nobody but Charlie Hausen and his assistants, and the body.”
“那在没有先搜查之前不要让任何人离开。” 治安官克林命令道。“乔，你和哈里，你们把这座法院从上到下搜一遍。把纽扣也带上。”
“Then don’t let nobody leave without you search ‘em first,” Sheriff Kling ordered. “And Joe, you and Harry, you search this courthouse from top to bottom. Take Buttonholes with you.”
过了足足六十秒，副治安官才回话说：“我们要找什么，马夫？”
It was a good sixty seconds before the deputy called back, “What’dya want us to look for, Marv?”
“那把枪，你们这些笨蛋。” 治安官克林吼道。
“The gun, you damn fools,” Sheriff Kling roared.
杰克叹了口气。如果他们不得不等到找到杀死参议员佩维利的那把枪，那看来他们要在杰克逊县法院待很长时间了。突然，一个新的想法似乎击中了这位疲惫不堪的治安官，他冲出了房间。杰克疲倦地摇了摇头，点了一支烟。
Jake sighed. If they were going to have to wait until the finding of the gun that had killed Senator Peveley, it looked like a long stay in the Jackson County courthouse. Suddenly a new idea appeared to strike the harassed sheriff, who bolted out of the room. Jake shook his head wearily and lit a cigarette.
他意识到外面的暴风雨已经过去了，云彩来得快去得也快。一束束阳光开始透过那些巨大的绿树照射下来，透过被雨水冲洗过的杰克逊县法院的窗户射进来。
He realized that the storm outside was over and that the clouds had disappeared as quickly as they had e. Shafts of sunlight were beginning to stream down through the great green trees and penetrate the rain-washed windows of the Jackson County Courthouse.
“真是个适合开车的好天气。” 他渴望地说。
“Lovely day for driving,” he said wistfully.
“没有什么能让你满意，是吧？” 海伦说。“我费了那么大劲为你安排这次旅行。”
“No satisfying you, is there?” Helene said. “And after all the trouble I took to arrange this for you.”
汤姆?伯罗斯咧嘴笑了。“请原谅我这么烦人。” 他说，“但你们到底是谁？”
Tom Burrows grinned. “Pardon me for making a nuisance of myself,” he said, “but just who are you?”
杰克也咧嘴笑了。“我是杰克?贾斯特，这是我妻子。”
Jake grinned back. “I’m Jake Justus, and this is my wife.”
“真该死！” 汤姆?伯罗斯出人意料地说。
“Well I’m damned!” said Tom Burrows surprisingly.
