约翰?约瑟夫?马龙，芝加哥最聒噪也最有名的刑事律师，不悦地盯着桌上的电报。这可能是个恶作剧，也可能是真事。不管是哪种情况，他都不想参与。
JOHN JOSEPH MALONE, Chicago’s noisiest and most noted criminal lawyer, stared sourly at the telegram on his desk. It might be a gag, or it might be serious. Whichever it was, he wanted no part of it.
他是个矮胖、红脸的男人，一头浓密的黑色乱发总是需要梳理。他那天早上刚穿上的芬奇利套装，已经看起来像是他在高架桥下睡了六周一样。他那条鲜艳的花格子三美元领带上有个小污点，潮湿的衬衫前襟上有一堆雪茄烟灰。

他对着电报做了个厌恶的表情。“杰克和海伦上次卷入谋杀案差点毁了我。” 他嘟囔道。
He made a disgusted face at the telegram. “The last time Jake and Helene got mixed up in a murder damned near ruined me,” he muttered.
他在桌上一堆上周的报纸下面找到铅笔和纸，开始写一封回电：
He found pencil and paper under a litter of last week’s newspapers on his desk, and began posing a telegram to send in return:
