“沒(méi)錯(cuò)，先生。” “聰明人?！彼哪抗庠俅苇h(huán)顧四周，這次是看向前臺(tái)。那位穿著駝絨大衣的男子正在填寫(xiě)表格，預(yù)備交給艾伯哈特小姐。“你在向那位年輕小姐求婚嗎，科基？“

他雙腳分開(kāi)，臀部翹起，簡(jiǎn)直像要槌打球似的，他斜翹起來(lái)的臀部，不論是天生的還是刻意的，都透露著一點(diǎn)陰柔氣質(zhì)。
A heap of passports lies at his elbow.
他的胳膊下還夾著一堆護(hù)照。
"Only got to copy a few names, God's sake. Not a fifty-page contract, Corks." "It's a new security, I'm afraid, sir," Jonathan explains."The Swiss police insist. There seems to be nothing we can do." The beautiful Jeds has chosen three magazines but needs more.

"No way," said the blazer, eyeing Jonathan through an imaginary gun slit.
