章節(jié)摘錄

　　The sailor drew a long breath, with the air of a manrelieved of some intolerable burden, and then replied, in anassured tone: 　　"I have no way of telling-but he can't be more than fouror five years old. Have you got him here·" 　　"Oh no, we had no conveniences for keeping him here. Heis at a livery stable in the Rue Dubourg, just by. You can gethim in the morning. Of course you are prepared to identifythe property?" 　　"To be sure I am, sir." 　　"I shall be sorry to part with him," said Dupin. 　　"I don't mean that you should be at all this trouble fornothing, sir," said the man. "Couldn't expect it. Am verywilling to pay a reward for the finding of the animal-that isto say, any thing in reason." 　　"Well," replied my friend, "that is all very fair, to be sure.Let me think!-What should I have? Oh! I will tell you. Myreward shall be this. You shall give me all the information inyour power about these murders in the Rue Morgue." 　　Dupin said the last words in a very low tone, and veryquietly. Just as quietly, too, he walked toward the door,locked it and put the key in his pocket. He then drew a pistolfrom his bosom and placed it, without the least flurry, uponthe table. 　　The sailor's face flushed up as if he were struggling withsuffocation. He started to his feet and grasped his cudgel,but the next moment he fell back into his seat, tremblingviolently, and with the countenance of death itself. He spokenot a word. I pitied him from the bottom of my heart. 　　"My friend," said Dupin, in a kind tone, "you are alarmingyourself unnecessarily-you are indeed. We mean you noharm whatever. I pledge you the honor of a gentleman, andof a Frenchman, that we intend you no injury. I perfectlywell know that you are innocent of the atrocities in the RueMorgue.　　……
