Alvin McCarron had gone back to America (after nothing more than another inconsequential telephone call to him from Rome), and Tom supposed that he and Mr Greenleaf had concluded that Dickie was either dead or hiding of his own will, and that further search was useless.
Alvin McCarron Amerikara itzulia zen (Erromatik egindako dei ganoragabe bat beste berririk eman gabe), eta Tomek segurutzat zeukan Mr Greenleaf eta biek Dickie hila edo bere borondatez ezkutatua zela ondorioztatu zutela, eta alferrik zela bila jarraitzea.
