Chapter 7 seven

Mason and Della.Streeter finished the pie.Mason said: Well, I think we'd better be with Benning.Talk to Clark, hopefully he won't get too excited. Salt Dinger.Bowers fidgeted, he stood up and said suddenly: I want you to wait a while. Mason raised an eyebrow suspiciously. The woman I'm going to marry is coming. Her name is Lucille.bren.I told her to be here at 8:30, she's coming soon, I oh, I want you to meet her. Mrs. Simms said as she cleared the table: "Banning.The problem with Clark is that he is always full of energy and refuses to quiet down.He lived easily for a while, and his health would recover; but when he was half healed, he became active again and exhausted himself, just like before the treatment.

He is recovering well.Yan Dinger said unconvinced. I'm a little skeptical, he doesn't look very well today.If Miss Brune is coming here, you better get out so I can finish my work.She was talking non-stop, but she moved the stacks of plates with her hands deftly. It's a miracle I can finish this job. Considering how many people have meetings in my kitchen, and other people coming and going; The police who found poison in the food and asked me why the food was poisoned; and the cunning salesman who abducted my daughter from the kitchen in one fell swoop, leaving her mother to deal with the pile of plates alone.Her boyfriend, Jerry, who joined the army.Coslet would never do such a thing.Girls used to say hello first when they went out, and when they came back, they had to tell their parents what they had done

Salt Dinger.Bowers smiled at Mason and said: "Let's go to the living room, she'll go on and on It seems that men today are not considerate of women at all.Nell.Sims went on to say they couldn't even think about it.Lucille was trying to impress your lawyer friend and you brought her into the kitchen God what is this? Mrs. Sims picked up a sugar bowl with folded paper beneath it, and the sugar bowl pressing it unfolded as soon as it was removed. Like a note.Della.Streeter said. Mrs. Sims opened it, held it as far away from her eyes as possible, squinted, and said: I forgot my glasses again, and there was something written on it, but I couldn't read it without them.She handed the note to Della.Streeter said, you are young and have good eyesight, so please come and read.

Della.Streeter looked it over quickly and said: Mrs Sims, your daughter wrote it.I read it or read out.What does Dorina slip a note under the sugar bowl mean?Why not just tell me? Della.Streeter said: "The note said: Dear Mama, Hayward and I went to Las Vegas to get married.I've been trying to get an idea all day and I still don't know how.But if I'm not back by midnight, you'll see what's going on.If you don't like it, you can't stop us. The signature of loving you is only the initial letter D of her name. Mrs. Sims dried her hands with a dish towel and said: There's such a thing!

Salt Dinger.Bowers said: "Oh, if she's in love with him, then Nell.Sims sputters: If she's in love with him!It's unimaginable that a girl would leave such a note when she was going to get married!God, if she really fell in love with him, she would bring the house down and turn the world upside down.After thinking about it for a day, I couldn't make up my mind!Didn't even ask her mother for advice.I'd tell her, this guy is nice to you just because all the young lads are in the army.The rest of the men became movie actors in the eyes of the girls. They hadn’t seen a man in civilian clothes for a long time, and they almost forgot what they looked like. When those young men came back, hey, God Ah, Jerry.When Coslet comes back, this Hayward.Small would soon become an old dot in her eyes, that's how girls are today, never asking their mothers for advice.Since they think they know everything, they have learned a few jargons that pretend to be deep, and they don't take life seriously, thinking that they can deal with it with a few witty words.

Mason said: Mrs. Sims, your daughter seems to be a very level-headed person, and she must have thought about it. She's a good girl, Mrs Sims said confidently, a very good girl, and she'll be all right. That's right.Mason responded with a smile. Salt Dinger.Bowers stood there impatiently and said: She will be here soon. you go out!Nell.Sims said, you all go, get out of here. Della.Streeter said: Let me wash your dishes, Mrs. Sims, there's a lot of them here, and I'm not pretending. Nell.Sims looked at Della.Streeter said: Oh, if you don't, you should put it on, she exclaimed, God, even educated people don't understand Get out, everyone, get out! !

She took it seriously this time.Yan Dinger said with a smile. Della.Streeter gave her a quick smile and said: Mrs. Sims, the dinner was very good.I'm sure your daughter will be fine. Of course she'll be all right, I just wanted you to meet Jerry.coslet.The worst thing is that she never sees her friends.She spends too much time in the kitchen, giving those around her a chance to sneak in.Wait until I see Hayward.Small, I've got to give him a good lesson.I will tell him whether he is my son-in-law or not.Come on, Lucille.Brun is coming soon, and if she gets into the kitchen, she'll go, go.

In the living room, Mason met Yan Dinger.Bowers laughs: "She also waved her apron at us, knocking us out of the kitchen like a bunch of chicks. She's a weirdo, Yan Dinger laughed, and those boys used to come to her restaurant in Mojave and make her talk.she His words were interrupted by a ringing bell. Salt Dinger.Bowers apologized, hurried to the door, and came back triumphant.Lucille, he told the girl next to him, this is Mr. Mason.At this time, he suddenly realized that he should introduce Della first.Streeter, correcting himself quickly, Miss Streeter and Mr. Mason.Lucille.Bren has a small face, dark eyes with eager gaze, and his movements are fast and somewhat nervous.She tactfully talked to Della first.Streeter said hello, then gave Mason his hand.

Powers said: "We got married the day after tomorrow and went to the desert for our honeymoon. Have you ever lived in a desert?Della.Streeter asked Miss Brun. No, I only got to know the desert when I got to know Yan Dinger.she laughed. The desert, Yan Dinger said solemnly, is a man's best mother.You do what she wants and she will treat you well.She will also train you to think for yourself, but if you forget the laws of nature, you will get into a lot of trouble.A man always makes mistakes in the desert. To Yan Ding'er, he had already said quite a long paragraph, which showed the depth of his perception.

Della.Streeter was very polite to Lucille.Brun said: I hope you guys are happy in the desert.He paints the desert so attractively. I'm sure I will, and after she said that, she gave a quick, nervous laugh and added: I am happy wherever I am with Yan Dinger. The door to the hall opened, Wilma.Staller hurried into the room and saw Perry.Mason and Della.Streeter, she said, startled: Oh, hello, I didn't know you were coming here, no, I mean my patient is okay? It's okay, Mason said, he just wanted me to solve some business problems. Oh, I'm relieved then.Dr. Kenward insisted that I rest in the afternoon. He said he would send another nurse on duty during the day, but Clark refused to change, and Dr. Kenward agreed.She went on to explain that we've had a really busy night, how are you guys going to the beach?

Go horseback riding.That's why I got such a tan, Mason said, and I've been riding all day. I like to ride horses, said Wilma, and turning to Lucille, "Hasn't it been a long time, Lucille?" just arrived. What's new? I haven't heard of it, ask Yan Ding'er to give you the scorpion, she said with a smile, if there is any news, even if he knows you, don't try to dig it out of his mouth. Mason said: Today seems to be the company's shareholders meeting.They brought in a lawyer, trying to cover their trap by making peace. Is it Moffgate?she asked. Mason lit a cigarette, nodded, and said: He's an energetic schemer. I am afraid of him.Lucille.Bren whispered to Yan Dinger. Why? I don't like his eyes. Mason cleared his throat, wringed out the cigarette butt in the ashtray, and said nothing. Oh, I have to see my patient before I change, Wilma said cheerfully, as long as he's all right.I need to find a flashlight. Cute girl, Yan Dinger looked at her back and said, oh, Lucille and I are leaving, goodbye. Della.Streeter watched them walk out the door and mused: "He loves her very much. As if she was the only woman in the world staring at him, Mason felt the same way, he went on, not taking his eyes off her for a moment. For Yan Dinger, she is the only woman in the world.Della said it must feel beautiful to be so loved. Mason laughed and said: People say that the whole world will love passionate people, but I would say that all women will love passionate people. Show a little love to a woman, and her eyes will become very charming. Della smiled and said: I was wondering how Mrs. Sims would change that sentence so that it would still make sense.I don't find my eyes charming, I just feel very weak.When you drove me home, I told her to stop and clear her throat. You are probably too tired, said Mason, after all the riding No, not that fatigue.Is your throat okay? It's okay, what's the matter? My throat was on fire with a metallic taste. Mason suddenly became anxious and said: Ah!Wait a minute, you're not kidding, are you? No. Mason looked at her face, stepped forward, and put his hand on hers. Della, you are sick! She forced a smile and said: There must be something wrong with what I eat.Me, I'm kind of sick.Where is the bathroom? Mason strode to the plate glass window, opened the curtains, and looked out the dark window. There was a flickering flashlight moving forward in the dark night. It was Wilma.Staller was walking in the courtyard, and she hadn't reached the colored stone wall. Mason unlatches the side window. Hey, Miss Staller!he yelled. The light of the flashlight immediately stopped. If it's convenient, can I come and see Miss Streeter?asked Mason. What's wrong?She also said it out loud. She suddenly felt uncomfortable. Miss Staller seemed to hesitate for a moment, then turned and walked towards the small building. Presently she came into the living room out of breath, evidently taken aback.She said: Where is she?What's wrong? She went to the bathroom, she was sick and had a metallic taste in her mouth. Wilma.Starr rushed out of the room. Ten minutes passed before she came back.She said with a heavy heart: I called Dr. Kenward, and he will be right away. what happened?Mason asked. She said anxiously: I'm afraid it's serious, Mr. Mason, it's a symptom of arsenic poisoning.She, but, Mason, are you okay with your face? Mason asked calmly: Symptoms of poisoning include a burning sensation, nausea, severe abdominal pain, a metallic taste in the throat, yes? Yes and you? Mason said: Dr. Kenward came and told him he had two patients.After speaking, he fell down on the chair.
