一个围着飘扬的披肩的女人慢慢地从栏杆边爬过去，走的时候步履蹒跚。

In the meantime, the minutes were creeping by: 3.15, 3.20, 3.25, 3.27. Supposing Julius did not get there in time. 3.29.... Doors were banging. Tommy felt cold waves of despair pass over him. Then a hand fell on his shoulder.

与此同时，分钟数在逐渐增加：3.15、3.20、3.25、3.27。假设尤里乌斯没有及时赶到那里。 3.29 .... 门在砰砰作响。汤米感到绝望的寒潮席卷了他。然后一只手落在了他的肩膀上。
