11. Nancy makes a visit(15)

　'Back！How can you go back to such a life？'asked Rose． 'You've told me all this．Now I can help you by letting you stay somewhere safe．'
　　'No．Perhaps it's hard for you to believe，but the re's one man，the most dangerous of the m all，that I can never leave．You're the first person who's ever spoken to me so kindly-but it's too late．'
　　'It's never too late！'
　　'It is！'cried the girl． 'I can't leave him now．And if I tell anyone about this man，he'll die．'
　　'But how can I find you again，when we want to investigate this mystery further？'
　　'I'll meet you secretly，if you promise not to watch or follow me，'said Nancy． 'And if you promise just one more thing-not to do anything to hurt the man I can never leave．'
　　'I promise．'
　　'Every Sunday night，between eleven and twelve，I will walk on London Bridge if I am alive．Meet me the re if youwant more information．'
As Nancy said the se words，she left the room and ran down the stairs and out into the street once more．Rose was left alone，her thoughts in great confusion，as she wondered desperately what to do and who to ask for advice．
“回去！你怎么还能回到那种生活中去呢？”罗斯问。“你已经跟我说了这些话了呀。现在，我要帮助你，让你待在一个安全的地方。”
　　“不，您大概很难相信，有一个人，他们当中最危险的一个人，是我永远不能离开的。您是我遇到的头一个这么好心地和我说话的人——可是太晚了。”
　　“还来得及！”
　　“不！”女孩大声地说，“我现在不能离开他，我要是跟别人提起他，他必死无疑。”
　　“为了深入调查这件疑案，我怎么才能再找到你呢？”
　　“如果您保证不监视或跟踪我，我会偷偷地来见你。”南希说。“您还得向我保证另一件事——不做任何伤害这个我永远不能离开的男人的事。”
　　“我向你保证。”
　　“那么，每个星期天的晚上十一点到十二点之间，我在伦敦桥上散步，假如我还没有死的话。您要想知道更多的事，就到那儿去找我。”
　　南希说完这些话，出了房间，跑下楼，到了马路上。屋里只剩下罗斯，她的思想陷入了混乱之中。她极力地想着应该怎么办，应该向谁去请求帮助。
