These "places" make strange angles and curves. One Street crosses itself a time or two. An artist once discovered a valuable possibility in this street. Suppose a collector with a bill for paints, paper and canvas should, in traversing this route, suddenly meet himself coming back, without a cent having been paid on account!So, to quaint old Greenwich Village the art people soon came prowling, hunting for north windows and eighteenth-century gables and Dutch attics and low rents. Then they imported some pewter mugs and a chafing dish or two from Sixth Avenue, and became a "colony" .At the top of a squatty, three-story brick Sue and Johnsy had their studio. "Johnsy" was familiar for Joanna. One was from Maine; the other from California. They had met at the table d'hote of an Eighth Street "Delmonico' s" , and found their tastes in art, chicory salad and bishop sleeves so congenial that the joint studio resulted.That was in May. In November a cold, unseen stranger, whom the doctors called Pneumonia, stalked about the colony, touching one here and there with his icy fingers. Over on the east side this ravager strode boldly, smiting his victims by scores, but his feet trod slowly through the maze of the narrow and moss-grown "places" .Mr. Pneumonia was not what you would call a chivalric old gentleman. A mite of a little woman with blood thinned by California zephyrs was hardly fair game for the red-fisted, short-breathed old duffer. But Johnsy she smote; and she lay, scarcelymoving, on her painted iron bedstead, looking through the small Dutch window-panes at the blank side of the next brick house.One morning the busy doctor invited Sue into the hallway with a shaggy, gray eyebrow."She has one chance in—let us say, ten, " he said, as he shook down the mercury in his clinical thermometer. "And that chance is for her to want to live. This way people have of lining-up on the side of the undertaker makes the entire pharmacopoeia look silly. Your little lady has made up her mind that she' s not going to get well. Has she anything on her mind?""She—she wanted to paint the Bay of Naples some day." said Sue."Paint?—bosh! Has she anything on her mind worth thinking ablut twice —a man for instance? ""A man? " said Sue, with a jew' s-harp twang in her voice. "Is a man worth—but, no, doctor; there is nothing of the kind.""Well, it is the weakness, then, " said the doctor. "I will do all that science, so far as it may filter through my efforts, can accomplish. But whenever my patient begins to count the carriages in her funeral procession I subtract 50 percent from the curative power of medicines. If you will get her to ask one question about the new winter styles in cloak sleeves I will promise you a one-in-five chance for her, instead of one in ten."After the doctor had gone Sue went into the workroom and cried a Japanese napkin to a pulp. Then she swaggered into Johnsy' s room with her drawing board, whistling ragtime.Johnsy lay, scarcely making a ripple under the bedclothes, with her face toward the window. Sue stopped whistling, thinking she was asleep.華盛頓廣場(chǎng)西面的一個(gè)小區(qū)里，街道錯(cuò)綜復(fù)雜，形成了崎嶇狹長(zhǎng)的小胡同，被稱為“巷子”。這些“巷子”構(gòu)成了奇怪的角和曲線。一條街道甚至?xí)约航徊嬉粌纱?。一位藝術(shù)家曾經(jīng)發(fā)現(xiàn)了這條大街的可貴之處：一個(gè)人如果去收顏料、紙張和畫布的賬款，就會(huì)在這條大街上七轉(zhuǎn)八拐后突然發(fā)現(xiàn)自己又繞回了原處，但依舊兩手空空，未收回一文錢！所以，搞藝術(shù)的人很快就都聚集到了這個(gè)古老而離奇的格林尼治村。他們四處游蕩，搜尋朝北的窗子、18世紀(jì)的山墻、荷蘭的閣樓和低價(jià)的房租。然后，他們從第六街區(qū)“進(jìn)口”幾只錫鉛合金的杯子和一兩個(gè)烘鍋，這就成了他們的“據(jù)點(diǎn)”。有一處低矮的三層磚瓦頂樓，那兒就是休和瓊珊的畫室，瓊珊是喬安娜的昵稱。她們一個(gè)來自緬因州，一個(gè)來自加利福尼亞。她們是在第八大街的“德爾莫尼科”的餐館里吃飯時(shí)相遇的，發(fā)現(xiàn)彼此在藝術(shù)、飲食和衣著品味、趣味上都是如此相投，于是就共同創(chuàng)建了那家畫室。那是五月份的事了。到了十一月，一個(gè)冷酷、無(wú)形的“生人”突然闖進(jìn)了這個(gè)區(qū)域，它冰冷的魔爪肆意橫行——醫(yī)生稱之為“肺炎”。這個(gè)無(wú)情的蹂躪者在廣場(chǎng)東面趾高氣揚(yáng)地肆虐，殘害了很多人的生命。然而，在這個(gè)狹窄擁塞、青苔蔓生、迷宮一般的“巷子”里，它卻放慢了腳步?！胺窝紫壬笨刹皇悄銈兯^的那種具有騎士風(fēng)范的老紳士。一個(gè)被加利福尼亞的西風(fēng)吹得不見血色的柔弱女子哪是這個(gè)摩拳擦掌、氣勢(shì)洶洶的老混蛋的對(duì)手?？伤€是沒有放過瓊珊。瓊珊一動(dòng)不動(dòng)地躺在那張刷過油漆的鐵床架上，透過荷蘭式的窗格，凝望著對(duì)面磚屋空白的墻壁。一天早晨，那長(zhǎng)著亂蓬蓬灰色眉毛的大夫神色匆匆地把休叫到走廊上。“聽我說，她的病只有——十分之一希望，”他一邊說一邊甩著體溫表，讓水銀柱滑下來，“而這一線希望取決于她的求生欲望。人要是放棄了生存的念頭，存心想去殯儀館排隊(duì)，那任何醫(yī)藥都無(wú)能為力。您這位朋友認(rèn)定自己是好不了了——她有什么心事嗎？”“她——她希望有朝一日能去畫那不勒斯海灣?！毙菡f。“畫畫？——胡扯！有沒有值得讓她一再花心思去想的事——比方說一個(gè)男人？”“男人？”休像猶太的豎琴一樣從鼻子里哼了一聲，“男人難道值得——可是，哎，算了，大夫，根本沒那回事?！薄芭?，那么，這正是她虛弱的原因。”醫(yī)生說，“我會(huì)竭盡全力，用科學(xué)所能達(dá)到的一切辦法來為她治療?？梢俏业牟∪碎_始數(shù)她出殯隊(duì)伍中的車輛時(shí)，那我醫(yī)藥的療效就要減少百分之五十。如果你能使她對(duì)今年冬季大衣寬大袖子的新款式有興趣并提個(gè)問題，我就可以向你作五分之一的保證，而非十分之一。”大夫走后，休走進(jìn)工作室，哭了，眼淚把一張日式餐巾紙弄得一團(tuán)濕。然后，她帶上畫板，吹著輕松歡快的口哨，裝作精神抖擻的樣子跨進(jìn)了瓊珊的房間。瓊珊躺在被罩下面，臉對(duì)著窗子，一動(dòng)不動(dòng)。休以為她睡著了，趕緊停止了口哨。
