共 42 题- THE AIR OF CASTOR OIL
- BY JIM HARMON
- Illustrated by WALKER
- I turned the corner.
- I decided to chance it. I certainly wanted to do it in the worst way.
- I went in, the brass handle making me conscious of the sweat on my palm.
- The old man snickered. "I know what you want. Indeed I do. This way."
- I was there.
- I gathered up an armload of air-war magazines at random.
- I had seen movies like that before.
- I had seen these pictures before the war.
- I sat there while we drove on for a few minutes.
- Carl shrugged. "What will we do with him?"
- Before I even got a chance to try, he said: "What did you do?"
- I climbed out and stood by the car, blinking.
- Carl shoved me back a little. "Can't we?"
- I never heard the squad car drive away.
- I looked at it objectively, forward and back.
- I struck up a new cigarette.
- I rolled over on my face and pushed it into the upholstery.
- I needed help.
- I memorized the address and heaved myself to my feet.
- I got to my feet. "Then I'll come back."
- He took my arm. "No, no, I can fit you in."
- I took possession of the chair and Sergeant faced me across his desk.
- I blinked. "I did? I did?"
- I stood up. "I did not!"
- I realized how it all sounded.
- I lurched across the desk and grabbed his wrist.
- I let go of him and stood away.
- I closed with him.
- I gave him a kick at the base of his spine. He grunted and lay still.
- There was a rapping on the door. "Doctor? Doctor?"
- I unlatched the window and climbed out into the dry, crisp breeze.
- I went the other way.
- I slipped.
- I hit.
- I stood up, moving forward a step.
- I guessed I had to run. There didn't seem much else to do.
- I ran.
- I went into the first shop I came to--Milady's Personals.
- I had been wrong.
