馬龍探案卷四 之 正確的兇案 二十六
又下雪了，大片白色的溼雪花粘在馬龍辦公室的窗戶上。當這位小律師脫下他的大衣，海倫在最舒服的椅子上坐下來時，傑克悶悶不樂地望著窗外那些迅速被白雪覆蓋的屋頂。

“這該死的雪。”他生氣地說，“現在我們永遠也弄不清在楓樹公園的那些腳印通向哪裡了。”
“this daned snow,” he said angrily “now we’ll never be able to fd out where those footprts led out aple park”
“忘了它吧。”馬龍厲聲說，“我的麻煩已經夠多了，但你還想讓我去看腳印。你指望我怎麼做——拿著放大鏡去看那些腳印，然後馬上告訴你是誰殺了傑拉爾德·圖伊茲和——傑拉爾德·圖伊茲？”

“thanks,” alone said “i’ve jt seen one besides, von fnagan has phoned five tis the three hours sce i was there, and i’d better call hi back” he dialed the nuber and leaned back his chair, the telephone his hand
馮·弗拉納根在電話裡大聲抱怨說，謀殺已經夠糟糕了，但人們會做出的那些事……“你知道在莫娜·麥克萊恩家被謀殺的那個人吧。嗯，我們從一家市中心的銀行得到了關於他的報告。他昨天來到鎮上的那個早上——他去了這家銀行存一張大支票並開一個賬戶。你猜他用什麼當身份證明？”
von fnagan ped loudly to the telephone that urder was bad
