Chapter 9

Chapter 9 The kids held the X-ray up to Dink's window and examined the weird shape from all angles. Ruth Rose traced around the shape with her finger. "It looks kind of familiar…. OH MY GOSH!" she yelled. "Dink, go get the morning newspaper!" Dink raced out of the bedroom and was back half a minute later with the paper.

孩子们把x光片举到丁克的窗前，从各个角度检查那个奇怪的形状。 露丝·罗斯用手指画出了这个形状。 “看起来有点眼熟.... 哦，我的天哪!”她喊道。“丁克，去拿早报!”丁克冲出卧室，半分钟后拿着报纸回来了。

Ruth Rose found the picture of Penelope Gwinn and the drawing of the stolen pendant. "If I'm right…" Ruth Rose held the drawing of the pendant to the glass of Dink's window. Then she placed the X-ray on top of the newspaper page. The funny shape they had been trying to identify fit over the pendant. The drawing was a little bigger than the shape on the X-ray but they were the same. "The blurry shape is a penguin!" Ruth Rose shouted. "It's exactly like Penelope Gwinn's!"

露丝·罗斯找到了佩内洛普·格温的照片和被盗吊坠的素描。 “如果我是对的……”露丝·罗斯把挂件的画举到丁克家窗户的玻璃上。 然后她把x光片放在报纸上。 他们一直在努力辨认的那种滑稽的形状正好配在吊坠上。 这幅画比x光片上的形状大一点，但它们是一样的。 “那个模糊的形状是企鹅!”露丝·罗斯喊道。 “和佩内洛普·格温的一模一样!”

"I don't get it," Dink said. "How could Peneloe's pendant be on this X-ray? Josh looked at him. "You tell us," he said. "It's your arm in the X-ray." "Dink, what happened in the first-aid tent?" Ruth Rose asked. "What did the doctor do?" Dink thought back to yesterday morning. "He wrapped my arm, then he took me to the …no! Wait a minute! While he was putting the bandage on my arm, he made me read a sign taped to the tent wall!" he said. Dink looked at Josh and Ruth Rose. "He said he wanted me to read to make sure I didn't have a concussion," Dink went on. "But I think that doctor stole the pendant! He hid it inside the bandage and made me read so I wouldn't see him do it!" "But why would he put it inside your bandage?" Josh asked. "I know," Ruth Rose said. "He knew the cops might be searching people, so he hid it on you. He let you sneak the pendant out of the park for him." Dink nodded, feeling his heart racing. "Then, when he got me to the X-ray office, he unwrapped the bandage and took the pendant out."

“我不明白，”丁克说。 “佩内罗的吊坠怎么会在这张x光片上呢?” 乔希看着他。“你告诉我们吧，”他说。 “x光片里是你的手臂。” “丁克，急救帐篷里发生了什么事?”露丝·罗斯问。 “医生怎么做的?”丁克回想起昨天早晨。 “他搂着我的胳膊，然后把我带到……不!”等一下!当他给我的手臂缠上绷带的时候，他让我读了贴在帐篷墙上的牌子!”他说。 丁克看着乔希和露丝·罗斯。 “他说他想让我看书，以确保我没有脑震荡，”丁克继续说。 “但是我认为那个医生偷了那个坠子!”他把它藏在绷带里，让我读，这样我就不会看到他这么做了!”“但他为什么要把它放在你的绷带里呢?”杰克问。 “我知道，”露丝·罗斯说。“他知道警察可能会搜查，所以他把它藏在你身上。 他让你帮他把吊坠偷偷带出了公园。” 丁克点点头，感觉自己的心跳加速。 “然后，当他把我带到x光室时，他解开了绷带，取出了吊坠。”

"But didn't you see him do that?" Josh asked. Dink shook his head. "I was so dumb," he said. "He had me read another sign while he was taking the bandage off! I wasn't looking at my arm!" "So the thief wasn't the hot-dog guy," Josh said. "Or that woman or big Hans. It was your doctor!" "How do we find him?" Ruth Rose asked. "His name is Dr. Fleming," Dink said, remembering the name tag. "Georgie Fleming," Josh said, looking at the autograph book. "Let's call Hartford Hospital," Ruth Rose suggested. "How many Dr. George Flemings could there possibly be?" They ran to the telephone in the hallway. Ruth Rose got the number for the hospital and dialed. There was no Dr. George Fleming on their staff. No Georgette or Georgina or Georgia, either. No G. Flemings at all. But there was a Dr. Richard Fleming. "May I speak to him?" Ruth Rose asked. A minute later, she was talking to Dr. Richard Fleming. She asked him two questions: Was he working in the first-aid tent in Bushnell Park yesterday?

“可是你没看见他那样做吗?”杰克问。 丁克摇了摇头。“我太笨了，”他说。 “他在解开绷带的时候让我看了另一个标志!”我没在看我的胳膊!”“所以小偷不是卖热狗的，”乔希说。 “或者那个女人，或者大汉斯。 是你的医生!”“我们怎样才能找到他呢?”露丝·罗斯问。 “他的名字是弗莱明博士，”丁克说，想起了名牌。 “乔治·弗莱明，”乔希看着签名簿说。 “我们打电话给哈特福德医院吧，”露丝·罗斯建议道。 “乔治·弗莱明博士到底有几个?”他们跑到走廊的电话旁。 露丝·罗斯拿到医院的电话号码，拨通了电话。 他们的员工里没有乔治·弗莱明医生。 也没有乔其特，乔治娜或乔治娅。 根本不是g·弗莱明。但是有一个博士。 理查德·弗莱明。“我可以跟他说话吗?”露丝·罗斯问。 一分钟后，她在和医生说话。 理查德·弗莱明。她问了他两个问题:他昨天在布什内尔公园的急救帐篷里工作吗?

Did he know anyone named Georgie Fleming? Ruth Rose hung up. "He was home with a cold yesterday," she said. "And he's never heard of Georgie Fleming." "Great," said Dink. "So how do we find the Dr. Fleming who was in the tent yesterday?" "Dr. Richard Fleming told me something else," Ruth Rose said with a little grin on her face. "Someone stole his white jacket yesterday. Right out of his office!" Dink and Josh just stared at her. "With his name tag on it," Ruth Rose added. "So … so if the guy in the tent wasn't Dr. Fleming, who was he?" Dink asked. "He was Georgie, the thief!" Josh said. "But he knew doctor stuff," Dink said. "He took me to the hospital and x-rayed my arm." "Maybe he is a doctor, just not Dr. Fleming," Ruth Rose suggested. "Then why would he need to steal some other doctor's jacket and name tag?" Dink asked. "If he knew he was gonna snatch that diamond," Josh said, "he wouldn't wear his own name."

他认识一个叫乔治·弗莱明的人吗? 露丝·罗斯挂了电话。“他昨天感冒在家，”她说。 “他从来没听说过乔治·弗莱明。” “太好了，”丁克说。“那么，我们怎样才能找到这位博士呢?” 昨天在帐篷里的那个弗莱明?””博士。 理查德·弗莱明还告诉了我一些别的事情，”露丝·罗斯说，脸上露出一丝笑容。 “昨天有人偷了他的白夹克。 就在他的办公室外面!”丁克和乔希只是盯着她看。 “上面还有他的名牌，”露丝·罗斯补充道。 “所以……所以如果帐篷里的那个人不是奥巴马医生。 弗莱明，他是谁?”丁克问道。 “他就是乔吉，那个小偷!”杰克说。 “但他懂医生的东西，”丁克说。 “他带我去医院，给我的手臂拍了x光。” “也许他是个医生，只是不是博士。 露丝·罗斯建议道。 “那他为什么要偷别的医生的外套和胸牌呢?”丁克问道。 “如果他知道他会抢走那颗钻石，”乔希说，“他就不会戴上自己的名字了。”

Dink nodded. "That makes sense. But who is he? Where does he live?" "Georgie knows his way around Hartford Hospital," Josh said. "So maybe he lives in Hartford." He pointed at the autograph book. "And if he lives in Hartford, maybe his aunt Alva Horst does, too!" Josh picked up the telephone and dialed Information. He was given a phone number for A. Horst, and he dialed it. When a woman answered, Josh asked if he was speaking to Alva Horst. When she said yes, he told her that he had found an autograph book belonging to Georgie with her name in it. "Could you give me his name and address so I can send it to him?" Josh asked. Georgie's aunt supplied his name and address, and Josh hung up. "His name is George Shill," he told Dink and Ruth Rose. "He lives on Laurel Street in Hartford."

丁克点点头。“这是有道理的。 但他是谁?他住在哪里?”“乔吉对哈特福德医院很熟悉，”乔希说。 “所以他可能住在哈特福德。” 他指着签名簿。 “如果他住在哈特福德，也许他的姨妈阿尔瓦·霍斯特也住在那里!”乔希拿起电话拨了问讯处。 有人给了他a的电话号码。 霍斯特，他拨了。当一个女人接电话时，乔希问他是不是在和阿尔瓦·霍斯特说话。 当她答应时，他告诉她，他发现了一本乔治的签名簿，上面有她的名字。 “你能告诉我他的名字和地址吗?我好寄给他。”杰克问。 乔吉的姨妈提供了他的姓名和地址，乔希挂断了电话。 “他叫乔治·希尔，”他告诉丁克和露丝·罗斯。 “他住在哈特福德的劳雷尔街。”
