 The search for Lorna

 Daisy Hamilton adalah seorang detektif swasta.

Daisy Hamilton was a private detective.

 Dia berumur 30 tahun dan telah menjadi detektif dalam dua tahun ini.

She was thirty years old and had been a detective for the past two years.

 Tiap pagi dia pergi ke kantornya untuk menunggu panggilan telpon atau membukakan pintu bagi klien yang membutuhkan pelayanannya.

Every morning she went to her office to wait for phone calls or open the door to clients needing her services.

 Daisy tidak terlalu terkenal tetapi kadang-kadang orang-orang menelponnya karena dia memasang iklan di koran lokal.

Daisy wasn't very well known yet but occasionally people telephoned her from the advertisement she had put in the local newspaper.

 Suatu pagi sekitar pukul sebelas seseorang mengetuk pintu kantornya.

One morning at about eleven o'clock someone knocked on her office door.

 Seorang wanita gemuk yang mengenakan bulu di lehernya.

It was a fat lady who wore a fur around her neck.

 “Hello, dapatkah saya bantu?” Daisy bertanya kepada wanita itu.”Silahkan masuk dan duduk.”

"Hello, can I help you?" Daisy asked the lady. "Please come and sit down."

 “Oh ya tentu! Saya sangat memerlukan bantuanmu.

"Oh yes indeed! I need your help desperately.

 Lorna, gadis kecilku telah hilang. Saya tidak tahu apa yang harus saya lakukan.”

Lorna, my little one has disappeared. I don't know what to do."

 Daisy menawarkan kepada wanita gemuk itu secangkir kopi instan dan menunggu detil-detil kejadiannya.

Daisy offered the fat lady a cup of instant coffee and awaited the details.

 Wanita gemuk itu duduk dengan berat dan menaruh tas kulit merah besar di meja Daisy.

The fat lady sat down heavily and put her large red leather handbag on Daisy's desk.

 “Tolong ceritakan kepada saya semuanya- Ibu...?”

"Please tell me everything - Mrs. ...?"

 Nama saya Edwina Humphries. Saya sangat takut mereka meminta saya uang-Saya takut Lorna diculik!”

"Mrs. Edwina Humphries is my name. I am afraid they will ask me for money - I'm afraid Lorna has been kidnapped!"

 Sangat mengerikan, Bu Humphries. Apakah Pak Humphries juga mengira Lorna diculik?”

"That's terrible, Mrs. Humphries. Does Mr. Humphries, too, think Lorna has been kidnapped?"

 “Suami saya tidak tertarik apakah Lorna diculik atau tidak!”

"My husband is not interested if Lorna has been kidnapped or not!"

 “ Benarkah, Bu Humphries? Tetapi apakah benar suami Anda ayah kandung Lorna?”

"Really, Mrs. Humphries? But is your husband Lorna's real father?"

 “Saya tidak tahu maksudmu. Kami membeli Lorna bersama-sama.” jawab Bu Humphries.

"I don't know what you mean. We bought Lorna together," replied Mrs. Humphries.

 Anda membeli..... Bu Humphries, itu ilegal, Anda tahu.”

"You bought ............Mrs. Humphries, that's illegal, you know."

 “Tidak, tidak jika di India!”

"No it isn't, not in India!"

 Anda membeli Lorna di India?”

"You bought Lorna in India?"

 Ya betul! Dan dia selalu menemani saya dengan baik, Anda tahu.”

"Yes indeed! And she always keeps me great company, you know."

 Bu Humphries membuka tas kulitnya yang besar dan menarik selembar saputangan.

Mrs. Humphries opened her huge leather bag to pull out a handkerchief.

 Dengan ketakutan Daisy melihat seekor makhluk bergoyang-goyang keluar dari tas itu.

With horror Daisy saw a wiggling creature come out of that bag.

“ Bu Humphries-singkirkan itu segera!” teriak Daisy 

"Mrs. Humphries - move that away immediately!" screamed Daisy.

 “ Apa? Oh Lorna-Akhirnya aku menemukanmu!” kata Bu Humphries.” Kamu bersembunyi di dalam tasku-gadis kecilku yang nakal!””

"What? Oh Lorna - I've found you at last!" said Mrs. Humphries."You hid in my bag - you naughty girl!"

 “Bu Humphries. Ini Lorna?”

"Mrs. Humphries. This is Lorna?"

 “Ya, ini ular rawa Bengali kami. Oh terima kasih sayangku. Saya kira saya tidak memerlukan servis Anda lagi!”

"Yes, our Bengali swamp snake. Oh thank you my dear. No, I don't think I need your services any longer!S

Setelah Daisy menutup pintu untuk Bu Humphries, dia membuat catatan mental untuk ditulis di iklan: tidak untuk binatang, tidak untuk ular.

As Daisy shut the door after Mrs. Humphries, she made a mental note to write in the advertisement: no animals, no snakes.
