“That’s what makes this wrong for a newspaper like theGlobe ,” Vince said, after a little pause to sip his milky coffee and collect his thoughts. “Even if we wanted to give it up.”
—Esto es lo que descalifica esta historia para un periódico como el Globe —señaló Vince tras hacer una breve pausa para beber un sorbo de café con leche y ordenar sus pensamientos—, aun cuando quisiéramos revelarla.
This was the last ‘unexplained mystery’ they had hauled out for theGlobe reporter over lunch. This was just before Hanratty had decided he could make the one-thirty ferry, and in a way Stephanie guessed she now didn’t blame him.

—Que no queremos —convino Vince—. Pero aunque quisiéramos… Steffi, cuando un periódico de gran ciudad como el Globe o el New York Times publican un reportaje o una serie de reportajes, quieren estar en posición de proporcionar respuestas o al menos sugerirlas, ¿y qué me parece a mí eso?

—Vale. Lo que hará ese tipo del Globe es anotar Almuerzo, Grey Gull, isla Moose-Lookit y Serie Misterios sin Resolver en su cuenta de gastos durante el trayecto en transbordador hasta tierra firme.

Once theGlobe writer was gone, Vince Teague reached across the table and removed the bills—two fifties—from beneath the salt shaker. He tucked them into a flap pocket of his old but serviceable tweed jacket with a look of unmistakable satisfaction. “What are youdoing ?” Stephanie McCann asked, knowing how much Vince enjoyed shocking what he called “her young bones” (how much they both did, really), but in this instance not able to keep the shock out of her voice.
En cuanto el periodista del Globe se hubo marchado, Vince Teague alargó la mano y cogió los dos billetes de cincuenta de debajo del salero para guardarlos en un bolsillo de su vieja pero aún servible americana de tweed con una expresión de satisfacción manifiesta. —¿Qué hace? —inquirió Stephanie McCann, sabedora de cuánto le gustaba a Vince escandalizarla (cuánto les gustaba a los dos, de hecho), pero incapaz en aquel caso de disimular una nota de sorpresa.
