P084.L03

اما با وجود تب و دوار سر، یکنوع اضطراب و هیجان مخصوصی در من تولید شده بود که شدیدتر از فکر محو کردن آثار خون بود، قوی‌تر از این بود که داروغه بیاید و مرا دستگیر کند.

But despite the fever and dizziness, a particular kind of anxiety and agitation had arisen in me, stronger than the thought of erasing the traces of blood, stronger than the possibility that the police chief might come and arrest me.

P084.L04

و آنگهی مدتها بود که منتظر بودم به دست داروغه بیفتم. ولی تصمیم داشتم که قبل از دستگیر شدنم پیاله شراب زهرآلود را که سر رف بود به یک جرعه بنوشم.

And besides, for a long time I had been waiting to fall into the hands of the police chief. But I had decided that before being arrested I would drink in one gulp the cup of poisoned wine that was on the shelf.

P205.L03

با خودم گفتم: در صورتی که آخرش به دست داروغه خواهم افتاد.

I said to myself: since in the end I will fall into the hands of the police chief.
