<1> I returned to the big house, left the bicycle on the service porch, and made my way back across the blackness of the rear lawn to my car. My heart was still thudding as I pulled away. Home again, in my apartment, I changed into a nightie and robe and huddled on the couch with a cup of brandy-laced hot tea. I knew I should try to sleep, but I was too wired to bother. 나는 집에 돌아가서, 서비스포치에 자전거를 세우고,  뒤쪽에 있는 어두운 lawn을 가로질러 자동차가 있는 곳으로 향했다. 자동차를 발진시킬때는 나의 심장은 아직 thudding. 내 집에 돌아왔다.나는 편안한 복장으로 갈아입고 브랜디가 들어간 뜨거운 티를 가지고 소파에 기댔다. 나는 수면을 취하지 않으면 안된다는 것을 알고있었지만, 걱정으로 신경이 민감해져 있어서 잘 수가 없었다. 위에는 the big house이고 아래 home 이란 단어랑 in my apartment가 있는것은 자기집에왔다는걸 얘기하려는거져? 당연한건가 <2> I glanced at my watch. It was nearly 2:00a.m. I figured I probably wouldn’t get word from Karen for another hour best. It takes time to count half a million dollars in small bills. I flipped on the TV and watched a mind-numbing rerun of an old black-and-white film. <질문> figured I probably wouldn’t get word from Karen for another hour best.   for another hour best 어떻게 해석해야될까여~? <3> I waited through the night, but the phone didn’t ring. Around five, I must have dozed, because the next thing I knew, it was 8:35. What was going on? The kidnappers had had ample time to effect Kevin’s release. If he’s getting out alive, I thought. I stared at the phone, afraid to call Karen in case the line was still tapped. <질문> Around five          <4> I pulled out the phone book, looked up Jack Chamberlain, and tried his home number. The phone rang five times and his machine picked up. I left a cryptic message and then tried Karen at the house. No answer there. I was stumped. Mixed with my uneasiness was a touch of irritation. Even if they’d heard nothing, they could have let me know. <질문> The phone rang five times and his machine picked up.     a cryptic message 전화벨이 5번 울리고 his machine picked up.                       a cryptic message <5> Without much hope of success, I called the bank and asked for Jack. Surprisingly, Lucy Alisal put me through. 놀랍게도 전화를 받은 것은 Lucy 였다? <6> “Jack Chamberlain,” he said. “Jack? This is Kinsey. Have you heard from Karen Waterston?” “Of course. Haven’t you?” “Not a word,” I said. “Is Kevin okay?” “He’s fine. Everything’s terrific.” “Would you kindly tell me what’s going on?” 문제없숨.. <7> “Well, sure. I can tell you as much as I know. I drove her back over to the house about two this morning and we waited it out. Kevin got home at six. He’s shaken up, as you might imagine, but otherwise he’s in good shape. I talked to both of them again a little while ago. She said she was going to call you as soon as we hung up. She didn’t get in touch?” 상황을 잘모르겠네요 음 나 바보 ㅋㅋ
