Diane came into the room and sat down．She looked at Sergeant Foster and smiled．'I saw you at the Tennis Club last month，I think．You play very well．'
黛安娜走進房間坐下來，她看著福斯特警官并沖他笑。“我想，我上個月在網球俱樂部見過你，你打得很棒。”
Sergeant Foster's face went red．Inspector Walsh looked at him．'Oh yes．A fast and exciting player is Sergeant Foster．'
福斯特警官的臉變紅了。沃爾什探長看著他。“哦，是的。那位打得激烈、興奮的球員就是福斯特警官。”
Diane smiled again at Sergeant Foster and his face went redder．
黛安娜又朝著福斯特警官笑，他的臉變得更紅了。
'Well，Miss Clarkson，'Inspector Walsh said，'I want you to talk about last night．'
“好了，克拉克森小姐，”沃爾什探長說。“我想請你談談昨晚的事。”
Diane stopped smiling．'Oh，I can talk about last night．I can't stop talking about it．We were all angry．Mother went to bed early and I made hot milk for her．We were all in the kitchen，and Peter Hobbs came in He nearly broke the back door down．'Diane stopped．
黛安娜收住了笑容。“哦，我可以談談昨晚，我的確是要談談。我們都生氣了。媽媽早早就上了床，然后我端了杯熱牛奶給她。我們都在廚房，隨后彼特·霍布斯進來了，他幾乎把后門給砸倒了。”黛安娜停住了。
'Yes？'
“接著呢？”
'He was very angry about a letter．He wanted to kill Mother．Are you going to talk to him？'
“他對那封信很生氣，他想殺媽媽。你會和他談談嗎？”
'We're going to talk to everyone．'
“我們會找每個人談。”
'Good．Tom Briggs came into the kitchen，too．Are you going to talk to him？'
“很好。湯姆·布里格斯也進了廚房。你要和他談談嗎？”
'I'm asking the questions，Miss Clarkson．When did you take the milk upstairs？'
“克拉克森小姐，我提幾個問題。你什么時候端牛奶上樓的？”
'I went up after Roger．'She stopped for a minute．Then she began again．'I didn't like my mother，Inspector．She killed my father，you know．Last winter，after Christmas，she drove the car into a tree and killed my father．'
“在羅杰之后。”她停了一會，然后她又說。“我不喜歡媽媽，探長。你要知道，她殺了我父親。去年冬天，圣誕節后，她開車撞著一棵樹，害死了我父親。”
Inspector Walsh watched Diane's face carefully．'I see．So you wanted to kill your mother？'
沃爾什警官仔細看著黛安娜的臉。“我明白了，所以你要殺死你母親？”
Diane laughed．'I wanted to kill her，but I didn't．I can tell you a lot of things about this family，Inspector．
黛安娜笑了。“我是想殺她，但是我沒干。探長，我可以告訴你有關這個家的許多事。
