“You ran a crap game, too, Lennie ? You’ve been a busy little man, haven’t<br />

you?”<br />

“Oh, this wasn’t nothing illegal. We never played for money.”<br />

“And you friend died recently, is that right ?”<br />

“Yeah, the other day. So, I bought the black clothes. Out of respect. You<br />

can check. I can tell you the place where I bought them.”<br />

“We’d appreciate that, Lennie. But you didn’t own these clothes on<br />

Wednesday, did you ?”<br />

“Wednesday. Now, let me think a minute. What’s today ?”<br />

“Today is Saturday.”<br />

“Yeah, that’s right, Saturday. No. I bought the clothes Thursday. You can<br />

check it. They probably got a record.”<br />

“How about you, Lennie ?”<br />

“How about me ? How do you mean about me ?”<br />

“Have you got a record ?”<br />

“Well, a little one.”<br />

“How little ?”<br />

“I done a little time once. A stickup. Nothing serious.”<br />

“You may do a little more,” Carella said. “But nothing serious.”<br />

Prenita el Give the Boys a Great Big Hand (Donu grandan manon al la<br />

knabegoj) fare de Ed McBain — Penguin Books C 2310, Britio 1960.<br />

Ed McBain, ĉefa kaŝnomo de la novjorka multverkisto Salvatore<br />

Lombino (1926-2005), furoras precipe pro siaj krimromanoj ĉirkaŭ<br />

fikcia 87-a Policejo en usona grandurbo, en kiu ĉefrolas Detektivo<br />

Carella. Liaj vervaj dialogoj kaj kvazaŭ dokumenta raportado pri la<br />

funkciado de tia policejo jam baldaŭ destinis liajn historiojn al filmado<br />

en formo de felietono. La aŭtoro eble plej bonkonatas pro lia verko kaj<br />

poste filmo Blackboard Jungle (Nigratabula Ĝangalo) el 1955. Apenaŭ<br />

sciate estas ke li liveris ankaŭ la skripton por la hororfilmo The Birds<br />

(La Birdoj) de Alfred Hitchcock.
