Mallinson, do you have a table for me?

" When DO they arrive" ? interrupted Mallinson bluntly.

" You don't need to, " retorted Mallinson furiously.

After a pause Mallinson asked suddenly: " Oh, by the way, how old should you say Chang is" ?

" Possibly, if you happen to LIKE prison, " Mallinson snapped.

That, clearly, was a much healthier spirit, and even Mallinson, little as he sympathized with foreign missions, could not forbear his admiration.

很明显，这是一种更健康的精神， 即使是马林森， 尽管他对国外的使命并不同情， 但也忍不住对他表示钦佩。

" A comforting speculation for a monkey in a cage, " retorted Mallinson; he was still furious.
