滞在している部屋のバルコニーに死体があるとMiss Mayfieldに相談された探偵のMarloweは何とか処分しようと考えています。
You could jump off easy enough, but you couldn't possibly fall off accidentally. There were two aluminum patio chaises with padded cushions, two armchairs of the same type. The dividing wall to the left stuck out the way she had told me. I didn't think even a steeplejack could get around the projection without climing tackle. The wall at the other end rose sheer to the edge of what must be one of the penthouse terraces.
"steeplejack" で山岳地帯の崖を自由に駆け回る鹿を連想しましたが、辞書を見たら人間でした。
