——多种多样的“说”
The police walked along the street when he saw a man standing in the doorway of a store, with an unlit cigar. He walked up to the man.
“It's all right, officer,” he said, reassuringly. “I'm just waiting for a friend, Jimmy Wells. We were like two brothers. It's an appointment made twenty years ago. Sounds a little funny to you, doesn't it? Twenty years ago tonight, we agreed that we would meet here again no matter what happened. Next morning, I left for the West to make fortune, and Jimmy stayed in the New York.”
The waiting man pulled out a handsome watch, the lids(表盖) of it set with small diamonds.
“Three minutes to ten,” he announced. “It was exactly ten o'clock when we parted here at the restaurant door.”
“Did pretty well out West, didn't you?” asked the policeman.
“You bet!(确实) I hope Jimmy has done half as well. He was a kind of plodder(慢性子), though, good fellow as he was. I've had to compete with some of the sharpest wits going to get my fortune. A man gets in a groove(一成不变) in New here by that time. So long, officer(再见,警官).”
“Good-night, sir,” said the policeman, passing on along his beat(巡逻区域), trying doors as he went.
There was now a fine, cold rain falling, and the wind had risen into a steady blow. The few passengers hurried dismally(闷闷不乐地) and silently along with coat collars turned high and pocketed hands. And in the doorway of the store, the man, who had come a thousand miles to fill an appointment with the friend of his youth, smoked his cigar and waited, with uncertainty,
About twenty minutes he waited, and then a tall man in a long overcoat, with collar turned up to his ears, hurried across from the opposite side of the street. He went directly to the waiting man.
“Is that you, Bob?” he asked, doubtfully.
“Is that you, Jimmy Wells?” cried the man in the door with excitement.
“Bless my heart!” exclaimed the new anrival, grasping both the other's hands with his own. “It's Bob, sure as

fate(千真万确). I was certain I'd find you here if you were still alive. Well, well, well! --twenty years is a long time! How has the West treated you, old man?"
“It has given me everything I asked it for. You've changed lots, Jimmy. I never thought you were tall by two or three inches."
“Oh, I grew a bit after I was twenty. Come on, Bob; we'll go to a place I know and have a good long talk about old times."
The two men walked up the street, arm in arm. The man from the West was beginning to outline the history of his career --how he started from scratch(白手起家) and eventually made his fortune. At the corner stood a drugstore, brilliant with electric lights. Each of them turned to stare at the other's face. The man from the West stopped suddenly and released his arm.
“As I suspected, you're not Jimmy Wells,” he said, impatiently with anger. “Twenty years is a long time, but not long enough to change the shape of a man's nose.”
“It sometimes changes a good man into a bad one,” said the tall man, taking charge of the situation. “You've been under arrest for ten minutes, ‘Silky’ Bob. Chicago police thought you might have dropped over our way(顺便来访) and called us. They want to have a chat with you. Before we go to the station, here's a note for you. It's from Patrolman Wells."
The man from the West unfolded the paper. The note was rather short.
“Bob: I was at the appointed place on time. When you struck the match to light your cigar I saw it was the face of the criminal wanted in Chicago. Anyhow I couldn't arrest you myself, so I got a plain-clothes man to do the job. JIMMY."
