The Passage to Lusfield - 洛斯菲尔德之行(17)

I took some extra money from the bank and me and Dr. Burke went to the Saint Daffodils Milkbar. I asked for five ounces of Amontillado from the maître d'hôtel. Soon, the sommelier poured me five ounces of Amontillado with a marvelous transparently scarlet gray color and brilliant smell. As socially obliged, I asked Dr. Burke for his need, who replied gin and tonic. The waitress refused his request and said these restaurants didn't serve gin and tonic, to which he responded with an affirmation and an acknowledgment and stripping. Dr. Burke now stood nude on top of the table and was asking for gin and tonic. When all the waiters saw the horrific moment of their career, as socially obliged, they were keeping the situation down and tried to turn down Dr. Burke's request the best they could, plus with respectful tones due to Dr. Burke's occupation as a professor. Dr. Burke raised his voice and demanded once again, pulling out a pistol from his overcoat aside and pointing it to his left temple, loaded.
