A n Wá Lorna

The search for Lorna

 Deesi Hamitin jẹ ọtẹlẹmuyẹ.

Daisy Hamilton was a private detective.

 Ọmọ ọgbọn ni i se ó tó ọdun meji sẹhin ti ó ti dà ọtẹlẹmuyẹ.

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

 Ni araarọ, yoo kọri si ibi-isẹ rẹ lati se ireti ìpè lati ori ẹrọ ibanisọrọ tabi ki ó sí ilẹkun fun awọn oníbàárà ti wọn nílò ọya rẹ.

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

 Deesi kò ti i fi bẹẹ jẹ mimọ sibẹ sugbọn lẹẹkọọkan ni awọn eniyan maa n pè sori aago lati ipasẹ ìpolówó ọja ti ó se si inu iwe irohin.

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

 Ni aarọ ọjọ kan ni bi aago mọkanla ẹnikan kàn ilẹkun ọọfisi rẹ

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

 Obinrin sisanra kan ti ó wọ ọja onírun yí ọrun rẹ po ni.

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

 “Hẹlo, bawo ni mo se lè jẹ iranwọ fun yin?” ni Deesi beere lọwọ rẹ. “Ẹ jọwọ ẹ wá jókòó.”

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

 “Bẹẹ kúkú ni! Mo níló iranlọwọ ni yàjóyàjó. 

"Oh yes indeed! I need your help desperately.

 Lorna eyi kekere mi ti poora o. Emi kò mọ nnkan ti mo fẹ se o.”

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

 Deesi fi ife kọọfi kan lọ arabinrin naa ó sì àlàyé lẹkunrẹrẹ.

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

 Obinrin titobi yii jokoo wọọ, ó sì gbé apamọwọ nla rẹ pupa kà orí tábìlì Deesi.

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

 “ Ẹ jọwọ ẹ sọ bi gbogbo rẹ se jẹ fun mi – Iyaafin ….. ?”

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

 “Iyaafin Edwina Họmfiris ni orukọ mi. Àyà mi n já kí wọn má lọ beere owó lọwọ mi – Ẹmi mi kò balẹ pe wọn ti jí gbé lọ!”

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

 Eyi buru o, Iyaafin Họmfirisi. Se Ọgbẹni Họmfirisi pẹlu ni èró kan naa pe n se ni wọn ti jí gbé lọ?”

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

 Ọkọ mi kò fihàn pe ó kàn oun  rara boya  wọn ti jí Lorna gbé lọ tabi bẹẹ kọ

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

 “Lootọ, Iyaafin Họmfirisi? Amọ se ọkọ rẹ ni baba Lorna gan gan?

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

Iyaafin Họmfirisi dahun pe “Emi kò mọ ohun ti o n sọ. A jọ parapọ rà Lorna ni,”

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

 “Ẹ rà….. Iyaafin Họmfirisi, eyi kò bófin mu, se o mọ.”

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

 “Rara, bẹẹ kọ, ni India kọ!”

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

“Ẹ rà Lorna ni India?”

"You bought Lorna in India?"

 “Bẹẹ kuku ni! Ki i si fi ẹgbẹ mi silẹ ni gbogbo ìgbà.,se o mọ.”

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

 Iyaafin Họmfirisi sí apamọwọ nla rẹ lati fà ìnujú pélébé jáde.

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

 Pẹlu ibẹrubojo Lorna rì ti ẹda afàyàfà wọ jade lati inu apamọwọ yii.

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

Deesi pariwo, “Iyaafin Họmfirisi – yán kini yẹn dànù kiakia!

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

 Iyaafin Họmfirisi wi pe“Kini, Lorna o – Mo ti rí ọ ni igbẹhin!” Inu apamọwọ mi o sapamọ si – iwọ ọmọ ti ki i gbọran yii!”

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

 “Iyaafin Họmfirisi, Abi Lorna ni yii?”

"Mrs. Humphries. This is Lorna?"

 Bẹẹ ni, ejò ipadò Bengali wa. O seun o, onítèmi. Rara o, emi kò rò pe mo tun nílò ọya rẹ mọ!

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

 Bi Deesi ti n ti ilẹkun mọ Iyaafin Họmfirisi, o fi le ọkan rẹ lati kọ ọ sinu ipolowo inu iwe irohin naa pe: wíwá ẹranko tabi ejò kò si lara isẹ wa.

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