“你到底是怎么知道这些令人讨厌的事情?”
弗兰博吼道。
布朗神父单纯的圆脸上浮现出了笑容。
“哦,我想是因为我是个没老婆的寡佬吧,”
他说,“你从来都没有猛然想到过这些吗?一个整天除了听人们说出他们的罪恶行径之外几乎无所事事的人,是不可能不知道人类的邪恶的。
但是,实际上我这个行业的另一方面也使我知道了你不是神父。”
“什么?”
强盗问道,嘴张得很大。
“你竟然攻击理智,”
布朗神父说,“你不知道那是违反神学原理的。”
布朗神父转身去收集东西的时候,三个警察从树影中走了出来。
弗兰博是个艺术家兼运动员,他退后一步,潇洒地向瓦伦丁鞠了个躬。
“别对着我鞠躬,”
瓦伦丁一字一句地,态度安详地说,“我们两个都得向我们的这位师傅鞠躬。”
这一警一匪两个人都摘掉帽子伫立了片刻,而那个小个子的埃塞克斯神父则眨巴着眼,四处转悠着找他的雨伞去了。
