"Dirty?" "Yes, it is all we can do to make him wash his hands, and his face is as black as a tinker's.

"The third on the right is his," said the inspector.
"右手第三個門就是他的牢房，"巡官說，往里瞧了一瞧。
"Here it is!" He quietly shot back a panel in the upper part of the door and glanced through.
“這就是了！”他悄悄把門上方的一塊嵌板往后推了推，往里瞥了一眼。
"He is asleep," said he. "You can see him very well."
"他睡著了，"他說，"你可以看得很清楚。"
