他把电报交给办公室的女孩，点燃一支新雪茄，危险地向后靠在椅子上，仔细考虑着事情。
He gave the telegram to his office girl, lit a fresh cigar, and leaned perilously far back in his chair, thinking things over.
在杰克做新闻代理人的时候，有一次，杰克的乐队指挥客户的秘密新娘被指控谋杀了她亲爱的老姑奶奶。马龙解决了那件事。那个案子让杰克和北岸的女继承人海伦走到了一起。然后，杰克做新闻代理人的那个广播明星卷入了不是一起谋杀案，而是三起，马龙不仅把她从法律的困境中解救出来，还让她在这件事中名声无损地度过了难关。
There had been the time, back in Jake’s press-agent days, when the secret bride of Jake’s bandleader client had been accused of murdering her dear old great-aunt. Malone had untangled that one. That case had brought Jake and the North Shore heiress Helene together. Then the radio star Jake was press-agenting had bee involved in not one murder, but three, and Malone had not only saved her from the law but brought her through the affair with her reputation unblemished.
杰克和海伦现在结婚了。在他的婚礼那天，杰克轻率地和世界上最富有的女人之一莫娜?麦克莱恩打赌，说她不能犯下一起谋杀案还能逃脱惩罚。那个不经意的小赌注让马龙疲于奔命地去解决一起结果是错误的谋杀案，最后几乎把头发都愁白了才解决了那起被证明是正确的谋杀案。
Jake and Helene were married now. On his wedding day Jake had rashly bet Mona McClane, one of the world’s wealthiest women, that she couldn’t mit a murder and get away with it. That casual little bet had caused Malone to run himself ragged solving a murder which turned out to be the wrong one, and finally all but turned his hair white solving what proved the right murder.
现在，他告诉自己，他绝对、绝对、绝对不会再卷入杰克和海伦的任何事情中了。
Now, he told himself, he was damned and double and triple damned if he was going to get mixed up in any more of Jake and Helene’s affairs.
“威斯康星州的杰克逊。” 他哼了一声。“谁他妈听说过威斯康星州的杰克逊！”
“Jackson, Wisconsin,” he snorted. “Who the hell ever heard of Jackson, Wisconsin!”
事实上，在这四件事情中他都收到了高得离谱的费用，但这丝毫没有缓和他对这些事情的反感。钱已经花掉了。
