There was only one problem. She said that she would be able to walk herself home on weeknights but it would not be allowed on Saturday nights and her father could not come for her then, because he himself had a nightjob at the mill.
Morgan said that he did not know what there was to be scared of in a place like this, and was about to tell her to get lost, when he remembered the night policeman who often broke his rounds to watch a little of the movie. perhaps he could be charged with getting Leah home.
たったひとつだけ問題があった。平日の夜は歩いて帰宅できるのだが、土曜の夜はそれが許されない、しかも彼女の父親は工場で夜勤の仕事があるので土曜日は迎えに来ることができない、と彼女は言うのだ。
こんなところでいったい何を怖がることがあるのかわからない、とモーガンは答え、帰ってれ、と言いそうになったが、そのとき、巡回の途中でちよっと映画を覗きによくやってくる夜勤巡査のことを思い出した。レアを家まで送ることを引き受けてくれるかもしれない。
