“skip the frills,” the little wyer said wearily, “and t to the facts his faily, his bess, his pernality, and his won”

“he had plenty of those,” the young newspaperan said “eneies, i an, not won fro all i ever knew, the senator led a bless life of urse you can t away with plenty a town like this”

“我听到的关于小镇的情况可不是这样。” 马龙调皮地说。

“that isn’t the way i heard it about sall towns,” alone said yly

jake snorted “that shows what you know about it why when i was fifteen -”

“别管你的私生活。” 海伦甜甜地说。“你可以写信给多萝西?迪克斯谈谈。继续，汤姆。”

“never d your private life,” helene said sweetly “you can write to dorothy dix about it go on, to”

“嗯，” 伯罗斯说，“参议员佩维利是个杰出的公民。在像杰克逊这样的地方，没有哪个前参议员有那么多钱还能不是杰出人物。如果他是个普通人，每个人都会公开地、毫不掩饰地恨他入骨。”
