富齐满脸酒气,粗野地咯咯笑着。去萨拉·伯恩哈特的经纪人办公室提议抽出一个晚上免除贝特西去塔奇镇文化宫和文学俱乐部的表演吧。你将会听到几乎和富齐一模一样的笑声。黑赖利像摔跤运动员那样,用他那蓝莓色的眼睛迅速地打量着富齐。他的手痒痒,想要当一回罗马人,从这个对着天使即兴表演而不自知的滑稽演员手里掳掠来那个布制的萨宾姑娘。但他忍住了。富齐很胖,高大且强壮。
Fuzzy laughed a gurgling, insolent, alcoholic laugh in his face.Go to the office of Sarah Bernhardt’s manager and propose to him that she be released from a night’s performance to entertain the Tackytown Lyceum and Literary Coterie.You will hear the duplicate of Fuzzy’s laugh.Black Riley gauged Fuzzy quickly with his blueberry eye as a wrestler does.His hand was itching to play the Roman and wrest the rag Sabine from the extemporaneous merry-andrew who was entertaining an angel unaware.But he refrained.Fuzzy was fat and solid and big.
