杰克扬起眉毛。“你想为此争论吗？”
Jake raised his eyebrows. “Do you want to make an issue of it?”
“《观察家报》的杰克?贾斯特？” 年轻人问道。杰克点头时，他蹦过房间来握手。“我想你不记得我了。我在城市新闻局工作过几个月。”
“Jake Justus of the Examiner?” the young man asked. As Jake nodded, he bounded across the room to shake hands. “I guess you wouldn't remember me. I worked for the City News Bureau for a few months.”
“那很好。” 杰克亲切地说。“你认识那边的沃尔特?赖伯格吗？”
“That sol” Jake said cordially. “Did you know Walter Ryberg over there?”
“认识他！” 汤姆?伯罗斯说，“我为他工作过！我在《观察家报》认识的人不多，我认识《美国报》的查理?布莱克，还有《新闻报》的约翰?拉利。我曾经卖给他一篇超短篇故事。”
“Know him!” Tom Burrows said, “I worked for him! I didn't know many people at the Examiner, I did know Charley Blake at the American, and I knew John Lally at the News. I sold him a short short story once.”
海伦说：“我不想打断你们的重逢，但我们不是应该计划一下退场台词吗？” 她转向汤姆?伯罗斯。“你似乎很熟悉这个所谓的治安官。什么神奇的话能让我们离开这里？”
Helene said, “I hate to interrupt a reunion, but oughtn't we to be planning an exit line?” She turned to Tom Burrows. “You seem familiar with this so-called sheriff. What's the magic word that gets us out of here?”
“我会告诉他我们想去钓鱼。” 杰克轻松地对她说。他转回头看着年轻人。“你在这里做什么？”
“I'll tell him we want to go fishing,” Jake told her airily. He turned back to the young man. “What are you doing up here?”
汤姆?伯罗斯笑了。“你听说过那个想退休去经营一份乡村周报的新闻人吗？”
Tom Burrows laughed. “You've heard about the newspaperman who wants to retire and run a country weekly?”
杰克点点头。“那是每个新闻人的梦想。”
Jake nodded. “That's every newspaperman.”
“嗯，我就是那个实现了这个梦想的人。我为合众社工作了好几年，然后一位姑奶奶留给我一笔遗产，我就买下了《企业报》。”
“Well, I'm the one who did. I worked for the United Press for a number of years, and then a great-aunt left me a legacy, and I bought the Enterprise”
“赚钱吗？” 杰克好奇地问。
“Making any money?” Jake asked curiously.
“有一点，但我是通过给麦迪逊的一家报纸做当地通讯员赚钱。你还在《观察家报》吗？”
“A little, but I'm making it by being a local correspondent for a Madison paper. Are you still with the Examiner?”
