Klein silently sighed, scratches clean face, the gold-edged spectacle frames to bridge of the nose on. 不是真正的熟人,没法再当面认出我……克莱恩无声吐了口气,擦干净脸庞,将金边眼镜架到了鼻梁上。 He makes rest slightly, changes the neckband strong straight shirt, matched the black coattails, then wears half high silk top hat officially, takes the cane and written invitation, went out turns to the next door. 他稍做休息,换上领口坚挺笔直的衬衣,配了套黑色燕尾服,然后非常正式地戴好半高丝绸礼帽,拿着手杖和请帖,出门拐向了隔壁。 In doorbell ring, he saw opening the door maid Julien, seeing the blonde high high price rate to get up, the earlobe wears Starling of silver accessory. 叮叮当当的门铃声里,他看见了开门的女仆朱利安,看见了金发高高盘起,耳垂戴着银色饰品的斯塔琳。 Klein takes down the hat, good a ritual, praised politely: 克莱恩取下帽子,行了一礼,客气赞美道: „Madame Sammer, you are attractive today.” “萨默尔夫人,你今天非常漂亮。” Although his these words have the strong being perfunctory nature, but today's Starling truly was much more attractive than in the past, is dressing up this domain carefully, her ability as if obtained the unprecedented growth. 他这句话虽然有浓厚的敷衍性质,但今天的斯塔琳确实比往常漂亮了不少,在精心打扮这个领域,她的能力似乎得到了突破性的增长。 It seems like seizes the deceitful that matter, lets her and Madame Mary becomes „bosom friend” truly, but the opposite party is a net worth tens of thousands pounds wealthy man, at present enters kingdom Air Pollution Investagatory Committee, knew many powerful officials, is putting on make-up, attire, accessory and other aspects to have enough experience......
