我和埃德娜已经离开了卡利斯佩尔,正朝坦帕-圣彼得驶去。前些年,我在那儿混得不错,结识了一些朋友,他们还不至于把我交给警察。因为几张透支的支票——在蒙大拿州,这是个要坐牢的罪名——我几经周折,差点落入卡利斯佩尔的法网。我知道,埃德娜当时就盘算着该走人了,本来,这不是我有生以来头一回触犯法 I and Edna had left Kalispell and were heading for Tampa-St. Peter. A few years ago, I was well mixed there, get to know some friends, they do not give me to the police.

Originally, it was not the first time I ever violated the law
