Chapter 10

Chapter 10 Just then, Pal began growling and biting at Mr. Linkletter's left shoe. "What on earth?" Mr. Linkletter said, pulling his foot away.

就在这时，帕尔开始咆哮，咬着林克莱特先生的左脚鞋。 “到底是怎么回事?”林克莱特先生说着把脚挪开。

But Pal wouldn't give up. Using his paws and teeth, he tried to pull Mr. Linkletter's shiny black loafer right off his foot. "Joshua!" Mr. Linkletter said. "Please teach your dog some manners!" "Take it off!" Ruth Rose suddenly said. Mr. Linkletter glanced down at Ruth Rose. "I beg your pardon?" "I think I know what Pal wants," she said. "Please take off your shoe!" Mr. Linkletter let out a big sigh. "Very well. If that will bring peace!" The tall man leaned over and removed his left shoe. He showed it to Pal. "There, satisfied?" he asked.

但是帕尔不会放弃。它用爪子和牙齿试图从林克莱特的脚上扯下亮闪闪的黑色乐福鞋。 “约书亚!”林克莱特说。 “请教你的狗一些礼貌吧!”“脱下来!”露丝·罗斯突然说。 林克莱特先生瞥了露丝·罗斯一眼。 “你说什么?”“我想我知道帕尔想要什么，”她说。 “请脱掉你的鞋子!”林克莱特先生长叹一声。 “很好。如果这样能带来和平的话!”高个子俯下身去，脱下了左脚的鞋子。 他把它拿给帕尔看。“好了，满意了吗?”

Pal grabbed the shoe in his mouth and dropped it at Josh's feet. "I WAS RIGHT!" Ruth Rose yelled. She picked up the shoe and held it upside down. On the sole, stuck to a wad of gum, was a piece of shiny yellow glass. "The dog was after a nasty piece of gum?" Mr. Linkletter asked. "No," Dink said. "That piece of glass is from Sammi's kaleidoscope! This means the kidnappers brought Sammi here, to the hotel!"

帕尔把鞋叼在嘴里，扔到乔希的脚边。 “我是对的!”露丝·罗斯喊道。 她拿起鞋子，把它拿倒了。 鞋底上粘着一团口香糖，是一块闪闪发光的黄色玻璃。 “那只狗在追一块讨厌的口香糖?”林克莱特问道。 “不，”丁克说。“那块玻璃是萨米的万花筒!”这意味着绑匪把萨米带到这里，带到旅馆!”

"Donald, you're giving me a headache," Mr. Linkletter said, taking his shoe back. He pulled the gum off and slipped the loafer back on his foot. "Who is Sammi? What kidnappers?" Dink told Mr. Linkletter about Sammi's disappearing from his bed. Then he explained about Joan Klinker's French lesson, Sammi's kaleidoscope, and the trail of yellow glass. "Now my mom's missing, too," Dink said. "And I think Joan Klinker kidnapped them both! She might be keeping them up in her room!" "Um, Dink?" Josh said. "Officer Fallon said Sammi was taken away in a boat. How could he be in the hotel and in a boat at the same time?" "I don't know," Dink said. "But I still want to check out Joan Klinker's room. That piece of glass on your shoe proves Sammi was here!" Mr. Linkletter sighed and set down his halfeaten doughnut. "Very well," he said. "Ms. Klinker has room 301. I'll take you up there, but you must be very quiet. Our guests don't expect crowds of children parading about the halls." He looked down at Pal. "But the hound has to stay down here. The Shangri-la does not permit animals upstairs!"

“唐纳德，你让我头疼，”林克莱特先生说着，把鞋子拿了回去。 他把口香糖扯下来，把便鞋穿回脚上。 “萨米是谁?”绑匪什么?”丁克告诉了林克莱特先生萨米从他床上消失的事。 然后他解释了琼·克林克的法语课、萨米的万花筒和黄色玻璃的痕迹。 “现在我妈妈也不见了，”丁克说。 “我认为琼·克林克绑架了他们俩!”她可能把它们放在她的房间里了!”“嗯,丁克吗?”杰克说。 法伦警官说，萨米是被一艘船带走的。 他怎么可能同时在旅馆里和船上呢?”“我不知道，”丁克说。 “但我还是想看看琼·克林克的房间。 你鞋上的那块玻璃证明萨米来过这里!”林克莱特先生叹了口气，放下吃了一半的甜甜圈。 “很好，”他说。”女士。 Klinker住301房间。我带你上去，但你一定要保持安静。 我们的客人可没想到会有一大群孩子在大厅里走来走去。” 他低头看着帕尔。“但是猎犬必须呆在这里。 香格里拉是不允许动物上楼的!”

"But he can smell stuff," Josh said. "We need him!" Mr. Linkletter looked at Pal's big brown eyes. "Oh, all right. What's one more broken rule?" The kids and Pal followed Mr. Linkletter into the elevator. When it stopped on the third floor, they all walked quickly to room 301. A man in a white uniform was pushing a cart full of linens down the hall and around the corner. Mr. Linkletter unlocked the door and pushed it open. Joan Klinker's bed was made and two suitcases stood on the floor. "Do your thing," Josh whispered into Pal's ear. Pal walked in a wide circle, sniffing the carpet. Suddenly, he made a beeline for the closet and began scratching at the door. Josh opened the closet door and Pal rushed in. Dink noticed that the closet was empty. Joan Klinker had packed everything. "What's in there, boy?" Josh asked, getting down on his hands and knees. While Pal and Josh searched the closet floor, Dink and Ruth Rose looked under the bed and in

“但他能闻到东西，”乔希说。 “我们需要他!”林克莱特先生看着帕尔的棕色大眼睛。 “哦，好吧。再违反一条规则又怎么样?”孩子们和帕尔跟着林克莱特先生进了电梯。 当它停在三楼时，他们都快步走向301房间。 一个穿白色制服的人推着一辆装满亚麻布的手推车穿过大厅，转到拐角处。 林克莱特先生打开了门，推开了门。 琼·克林克的床已经铺好了，地板上放着两个手提箱。 “做你该做的，”乔希在帕尔的耳边低语。 帕尔绕了一大圈，嗅了嗅地毯。 突然，他径直走向壁橱，开始抓门。 乔希打开壁橱的门，帕尔冲了进来。 丁克注意到壁橱是空的。 琼·克林克把所有的东西都打包好了。 “孩子，里面是什么?”乔希问，双手和膝盖都跪了下来。 当帕尔和乔希在衣柜地板上搜寻时，丁克和露丝·罗斯在床底下和里面找

the bathroom. Suddenly, Josh backed out of the closet. "Look what Pal found!" he cried. In his hand, he held a small piece of yellow glass. "You were right, Dink," Ruth Rose said. "Sammi must have been in this room!" Just then, Pal raced from the room with his nose to the floor. The next thing they heard was Pal barking and growling. Everyone followed him, just in time to see Pal attack the white linen cart. He bit at the side of the cart and tried to pull it back along the floor. The man in the white uniform pushed the cart in the other direction. "Get outta here, mutt!" the man yelled, kicking at the dog. That wasn't a good idea. Pal grabbed the man's pants cuff in his teeth and began thrashing and growling. "Pal, no!" Josh shouted. He pulled Pal away, but the hound was still barking at the man. Mr. Linkletter looked at the man. "Who are you?" he asked. "Just collectin' the laundry," the man said, glaring at Pal.

浴室。突然，乔希从壁橱里退了出来。 “看伙计发现了什么!”他叫道。 他手里拿着一小块黄色的玻璃。 “你说得对，丁克，”露丝·罗斯说。 “萨米一定在这个房间里!”就在这时，帕尔跑出房间，鼻子贴在地板上。 接下来他们听到的是帕尔的吠叫和咆哮。 大家都跟着他，正好看到帕尔攻击白色亚麻车。 他咬着马车的侧面，想把它拉回来。 穿白色制服的人把车推向了另一个方向。 “滚出去，杂种!”那人一边喊一边踢那只狗。 这不是个好主意。帕尔用牙齿咬住那人的裤口，开始抽打和咆哮。 “朋友,没有!”杰克喊道。他把帕尔拉开了，但那只猎犬还在向他狂吠。 林克莱特先生看着那个人。 “你是谁?”他问。“我在收衣服，”那人瞪着帕尔说。
