Una de aquelles meravelles omniscients i espaordidores, un detectiu, vingué de Sant Lluís, sotja pels voltants, mogué el cap, prengué el posat de savi, i aconseguí aquella mena d'exit astorador que els membres d'aquest ofici generalment aconsegueixen.
One of those omniscient and aweinspiring marvels, a detective, came up from St. Louis, moused around, shook his head, looked wise, and made that sort of astounding success which members of that craft usually achieve.
