(4)The younger man roused himself sharply at the sound of her voice, seemed to struggle with a slight embarrassment which he threw off instantly, and then clasped her fingers with his left hand.

(5)"It's Miss Fairchild," he said, with a smile. "I'll ask you to excuse the other hand; "it's otherwise engaged just at present."

(6)He slightly raised his right hand, bound at the wrist by the shining "bracelet" to the left one of his companion. The glad look in the girl's eyes slowly changed to a bewildered horror. The glow faded from her cheeks. Her lips parted in a vague, relaxing distress. Easton, with a little laugh, as if

(1)在丹佛车站，一帮旅客拥进开往东部方向的BM公司的快车车厢。在一节车厢里坐着一位衣着华丽的年轻女子，身边摆满有经验的旅行者才会携带的豪华物品。在新上车的旅客中走来了两个人。一位年轻英俊，神态举止显得果敢而又坦率；另一位则脸色阴沉，行动拖沓。他们被手铐铐在一起。

(2)两个人穿过车厢过道，一张背向的位子是唯一空着的，而且正对着那位迷人的女人。他们就在这张空位子上坐了下来。年轻的女子看到他们，即刻脸上浮现出妩媚的笑颜，圆润的双颊也有些发红。接着只见她伸出那戴着灰色手套的手与来客握手。她开口说话的声音听上去甜美而又舒缓，让人感到她是一位爱好交谈的人。

(3)她说道：“噢，埃斯顿先生，怎么，他乡异地，连老朋友也不认识了？”

(4)年轻英俊的那位听到她的声音，立刻强烈地一怔，显得局促不安起来，然后他用左手握住了她的手。

(5)“费尔吉德小姐，”他笑着说，“我请求您原谅我不能用另一只手来握手，因为它现在正派用场呢。”

(6)他微微地提起右手，只见一副闪亮的“手镯”正把他的右手腕和同伴的左手腕扣在一起。年轻姑娘眼中的兴奋神情渐渐地变成一种惶惑的恐惧。脸颊上的红色也消退了。她不解地张开双唇，力图缓解难过的心情。埃斯顿微微一笑，好像是这位小姐的样子使他发笑一样。他刚要开口解释，他的同伴抢先说话了。这位脸色阴沉的人一直用那锐利机敏的眼睛偷偷地察看着姑娘的表情。

amused, was about to speak again when the other forestalled him. The glum-faced man had been watching the girl's countenance with veiled glances from his keen, shrewd eyes.

(7)"You'll excuse me for speaking, miss, but, I see you're acquainted with the marshall here. If you'll ask him to speak a word for me when we get to the pen he'll do it, and it'll make things easier for me there. He's taking me to Leavenworth prison. It's seven years for counterfeiting."

(8)"Oh!" said the girl, with a deep breath and returning color. "So that is what you are doing out here? A marshal!"

(9)"My dear Miss Fairchild," said Easton, calmly, "I had to do something. Money has a way of taking wings unto itself, and you know it takes money to keep step with our crowd in Washington. I saw this opening in the West, and…well, a marshalship isn't quite as high a position as that of ambassador, but…"

(10)"The ambassador," said the girl, warmly, "doesn't call any more. He needn't ever have done so. You ought to know that. And so now you are one of these dashing Western heroes, and you ride and shoot and go into all kinds of dangers. That's different from the Washington life. You have been missed from the old crowd."

(11)The girl's eyes, fascinated, went back, widening a little, to rest upon the glittering handcuffs.

(12)"Don't you worry about them, miss," said the other man. "All marshals handcuff themselves to their prisoners to keep them from getting away. Mr. Easton knows his business."

(13)"Will we see you again soon in Washington?" asked the girl.

(14)"Not soon, I think," said Easton. "My butterfly days are over, I fear."

(15)"I love the West," said the girl irrelevantly. Her eyes were shining softly. She looked away out the car window. She began to speak truly and simply without the gloss of style and manner: "Mamma and I spent the summer in Denver. She went home a week ago because father was slightly ill. I could live

(7)“请允许我说话，小姐。我看得出您和这位警长一定很熟悉，如果您让他在判罪的时候替我说几句好话，那我的处境一定会好多了。他正送我去内森维茨监狱，我将因伪造罪在那儿被判处7年徒刑。”

(8)“噢，”姑娘舒了口气，脸色恢复了自然，“那么这就是你现在做的差事，当个警长。”

(9)“亲爱的费尔吉德小姐，”埃斯顿平静地说道，“我不得不找个差事来做。钱总是生翅而飞的。你也清楚在华盛顿是要有钱才能和别人一样地生活。我发现西部有人赚钱的好去处，所以——，当然警长的地位自然比不上大使，但是——”

(10)“大使，”姑娘兴奋地说道，“你可别再提大使了，大使可不需要做这种事情，这点你应该是知道的。你现在既然成了一名勇敢的西部英雄，骑马，打枪，经历各种危险，那么生活也一定和在华盛顿时大不一样。你可再也不和老朋友们一道了。”

(11)姑娘的眼光再次被吸引到了那副亮闪闪的手铐上，她睁大了眼睛。

(12) “请别在意，小姐，”另外那位来客又说道，“为了不让犯人逃跑，所有的警长都把自己和犯人铐在一起，埃斯顿先生是懂得这一点的。”
