也骗住了。”

"Ah, you rogue!" cried Jones, highly delighted. "You

would have made an actor and a rare one. You had the
proper workhouse cough, and those weak legs of yours are
worth ten pound a week. I thought I knew the glint of your

eye, though. You didn't get away from us so easily, you
see."

“啊，你这个坏蛋！”琼斯高兴地喊道，“你真可以成为一个戏剧

演员——一个出色的演员。你那老人的咳嗽学得真像，还有你那双孱
弱的腿，每星期足可挣十镑的工资。可是，我想我看出你的眼神来

了。你看，你没那么容易骗过我们。”

"I have been working in that get-up all day," said he,
lighting his cigar. "You see, a good many of the criminal
classes begin to know me—especially since our friend here

took to publishing some of my cases: so I can only go on the
war-path under some simple disguise like this. You got my
wire?"

“今天一整天工作，我都是打扮成这个样子的，”他点燃了雪茄

烟，说道，“你知道，很多匪徒已渐渐地认识了我——特别是在咱们这

位朋友把我的侦探事迹写成了书之后，所以我只好在工作时简单地化
个装。你接到我的电报了吗？”

"Yes; that was what brought me here."

“接到了，所以才会来的。”

"How has your case prospered?"

“你这案子进展得如何了？”

"It has all come to nothing. I have had to release two of
my prisoners, and there is no evidence against the other
two."

“一点儿头绪也没有。我不得已释放了那两个人，对于其余的两个

人，也没有什么证据。”
