Now he was going to hear her real voice. Four minutes to six.

此时，他就要听到她真实的声音了，还有4分钟就6点了。

A girl passed close to him, and Lieutenant Blandford started. She was wearing a flower, but it was not the little red rose they had agreed upon. Besides, this girl was only about 18, and Hollis Meynell had told him she was 30. “What of it?” he had answered. “I’m 32.” He was 29.

一个女孩走近他，布兰福德中尉一惊。她戴着一朵花，但不是他们约好的那种红玫瑰。这个女孩只有18岁左右，而霍丽丝.梅内尔告诉过他，她已30岁。“有什么关系呢?”他还回信说，“我32岁”，其实他只有29岁

His mind went back to that book he had read in the training camp. Of Human Bondage it was; and throughout the book were notes in a woman’s handwriting. He had never believed that a woman could see into a man’s heart so tenderly, so understandingly. Her name was on the book plate: Hollis Meynell. He had got hold a New York City telephone book and found her address. He had written; she had answered. Next day he had been shipped out, but they had gone on writing.

他又想到了在训练营时看过的一本书——《人性的枷锁》，书里有一个女人的批注。他难以相信，一个女人竟能如此透彻地读懂男人的心，书签上有她的名字：霍丽丝.梅内尔。于是他找来一本纽约市电话簿，查到了地址，给她写信，并收到了回信。因为执行任务，第二天他就坐船离开了，但他们仍保持通信。
