White Mason was a quiet, comfortable-looking person in a loose tweed suit, with a clean-shaved, ruddy face, a stoutish body, and powerful bandy legs adorned with gaiters, looking like a small farmer, a retired gamekeeper, or anything upon earth except a very favourable specimen of the provincial criminal officer.
懷特·梅森先生性情文靜、面容安詳，穿著一件寬大的花呢外套，紅潤的臉刮得凈光，身體微胖，兩條微向裏彎的腿剛勁有力，穿著帶絆扣的高筒靴子益發顯得精神，他看起來象個矮小的莊稼漢，象個退休的獵場看守人，或是說他象個世上的什麽人都行，但就是不象地方警署典型的刑事警官。
