Allonby smiled faintly under his heavy grayish moustache.

阿朗拜浓密的浅灰色胡须下微微一笑。

Surely Allonby wouldn't have said that if he hadn't believed him!

如果阿朗拜不相信他的话， 他肯定不会这么说！

But when they were face to face Allonby's jovial countenance showed no sign of embarrassment.

但当他们面对面时， 阿朗拜愉快的脸上并没有流露出尴尬的迹象。

Why might not Allonby have deceived him as to the alienist's diagnosis?

为什么阿朗拜没有在精神病医生的诊断上欺骗他？

" — I know: it was Stell the alienist. Why did you do that, Allonby" ?

“——我知道：那是精神病学家斯特尔。你为什么要那样做， 阿朗拜” ？

For a day or two after his visit to Allonby he continued to live in dread of Dr. Stell.

在他访问阿朗比后的一两天里， 他继续生活在对斯特尔医生的恐惧中。

" Sorry, my dear fellow — lot of people waiting. Drop in on Stell some morning, " Allonby said, shaking hands.

“对不起，我亲爱的朋友——很多人在等。改天早上顺道拜访斯特尔， ” 阿朗比握手说。

SOME days passed before Granice could obtain a word with the District Attorney: he began to think that Allonby avoided him.

几天过去了，格兰妮丝才与地区检察官取得联系：他开始认为阿朗比在躲避他。

No one else had treated Granice in that way — even Allonby's detective had not taken a single note.

没有其他人以这种方式对待格兰妮丝——甚至阿朗比的侦探也没有做任何记录。

And though a week had elapsed since the visit of that authorized official, nothing had been heard from the District Attorney's office: Allonby had apparently dropped the matter again.

尽管那位授权官员来访已经过去了一个星期， 但地区检察官办公室没有收到任何消息：阿朗比显然又放弃了此事。

Allonby, then, had thought him insane, like the others — had regarded his confession as the maundering of a maniac. The discovery froze Granice with horror — he seemed to see the mad-house gaping for him.

那时阿朗拜认为他和其他人一样疯了——认为他的供词是疯子的胡言乱语。这一发现让格兰尼斯惊恐地呆住了——他似乎看到疯人院正为他张开双臂。
