I Made Him Happy
Alan Cole lay in his bed，listening to a bird singing in the hospital garden.It was nearly dark outside now，and very quiet.He liked to lie like this，remembering.
He remembered the way Anna had kissed him，and looked into his eyes.He remembered her red-brown hair，her blue eyes，the soft，dry touch of her lips，her deep，happy laugh.
On the night before the bombing，he and Anna had been out for a meal in a restaurant.Then they had gone to the mews(马厩) to look at the horses.The guards knew she was his girlfriend，so they didn't think it was unusual.One of the horses，Sandman，had hurt his leg that morning，Alan remembered.In the evening the leg had been hot，so he had put ice on it.Lucky Sandman，Alan thought—he couldn't pull the coach(马车) next day，so he was still alive now.
He was still thinking about Anna when he drove the Queen's coach to Parliament，with the six fine horses in front of him.For a moment he thought he saw her in the crowd，watching...
Alan didn't want to think about what had happened next.He stared into the darkness outside the hospital window and thought：why hasn't she come to see me?
Outside，night had fallen，and the birds had stopped singing.Alan Cole lay quietly on his bed，the tears running slowly down his face.
Jane sat on the chair in her flat and listened to the man and the woman arguing in her kitchen.She could hear，but she couldn't speak or see，because the man had put a bag over her head.Her arms and legs were still tied to the chair，and her face ached where the man had hit her.
She tried to get her hands free.She pulled as hard as she could，but the rope just burned her wrists.All she could do was listening to the voices in the kitchen.
“We must phone him now，Kev.We can't wait.”

“We've got to wait.It's too dangerous to do it from here，Anna.Wait until we're ready to go.”
Anna！Jane thought.Was this her father's Anna？No，no，lots of women were called Anna.
“But we can't go until tonight，”Anna said.“There are too many people around during the day.And every minute is important！Perhaps Cole has already talked to the police about me.Oh God，I wish the bomb had killed him with the others！”
“Well，it didn't.And it didn't kill the Queen.”
Jane's body was shaking.This was her father's Anna！The woman was talking about her father，and the bomb.And then Jane remembered where she had seen the woman before.
Outside Parliament，with a camera，shaking it angrily.Taking photos of the back of people's heads.Then pushing forwards to get closer，pressing the camera button again...a second before the bomb exploded①.
The voices in the kitchen stopped.The door opened，someone came into the room.What now?
Jane heard the click of a gun.
“Phone call for you，Mr Cole.You're popular today，aren't you？”The nurse smiled，pushed the telephone table next to his bed，and went out.
Alan picked up the phone.“Hello？”
“Mr Cole？This is Detective David Hall.You remember I came to see you yesterday.I'm ringing because I've got a few more questions to ask you.Is it all right if I come over to see you now？”
“Er...well，I suppose so.But I've told you everything I know.”
“Yes，I'm sure.But it's just that we have to get all the facts right.I'll come over now.Is that OK？”
“Yes，fine.I...”
“Great！See you in a few minutes，then.”
Alan put the phone down slowly.He felt old，and tired，and very，very lonely.Perhaps I'll ring Jane later when this man's gone，he thought.I hope she

remembered to post the letter.
Kev pulled the bag off Jane's head and she saw the gun a few centimetres from her eyes.“I'm going to untie this cloth round your mouth，”Kev said.“If you scream，I'll put a bullet through your head.This gun is silenced，no one will hear anything.”
They untied the cloth and pulled her chair over to the wall，where the phone was.The gun was pointing at her head all the time.
“Do just what we tell you，”Anna said.“And everything will be all right.” Jane was suddenly wild with anger.She said，“You're Anna，aren't you？My father loves you—he thinks you're wonderful.But you don't care about him at all，do you？You wish the bomb had killed him.”
“Of course I care about him，”Anna said softly.“He's very important to me.That's why I'm going to phone him now, and you're going to talk to him too.”
Jane stared at② her，then at Kev.“Why？”
Anna laughed.“I'm going to ask him to keep our love a secret.I have a very difficult husband，you know.”
What's the woman talking about？Jane thought.What does all this mean？Then，suddenly，a lot of things came together in her mind，and everything became clear.Anna had been with her father in the mews on the night before the bombing.In the kitchen Anna had spoken about her father talking to the police.Jane could hear from Kev's voice that he was Irish，and he and Anna had moved out of Bowater Gardens on the morning of the bombing.Later，Anna had been outside Parliament，doing strange things with a camera when the bomb exploded，if it was a camera.Perhaps it had been a radio，sending a signal③ to the bomb.Oh God!
“You're the terrorists，aren't you？”she whispered④“.You did it，Anna.You put the bomb in the Queen's coach.You exploded it with a camera.I saw you，outside Parliament.You're terrorists—murdering terrorists，both of you！”
Kev smiled coldly.“Well，well.What a clever little girl！But you're wrong.The police have arrested⑤ the terrorists.It was in the newspapers this morning.”
“So？They're the wrong men，aren't they？It was you two，I know it was！You killed five people，and took away my father's leg，and now two innocent men will go to

prison for thirty years，for something you did.But you don't care.”
Kev's eyes were suddenly full of hate.“Care？About what？We're fighting to free Ireland.If the British put the wrong people in prison，that's not our problem.We care about staying free.That's good for Ireland.”
“Yes，and I suppose it's good for Ireland to use innocent⑥ people like my father—to make love to him just because you wanted to get into the mews to put the bomb in the coach.Did you enjoy that，Anna？Do you feel proud of it？”
Anna laughed，a strange，quiet，cruel laugh.“Yes，of course I enjoyed it，little girl.And your father enjoyed it too.I made him happy.”
“Happy！”Jane said.“You nearly killed him！” “Yes.I'm sorry he didn't die，while he was so happy.” Silence.There was no answer to that，Jane thought.
“Let's get on with it，”said Kev angrily.“We're losing time.” Tears came into Jane's eyes.“You dirty murderers，”she whispered.
Kev hit her across the face with his gun.Jane felt blood in her mouth.One of her teeth was broken.
“We could kill her now，”Kev said，“and get out of the country tonight.” “No，no，”Anna said.“We must talk to Cole first.”
“But we can't let her go，”Kev said.“She's seen our faces.She knows too much.” “Oh no，”Anna said.Her voice was soft and cruel.“Of course not.But we'll keep her alive for some weeks，to make sure that Cole stays quiet.Pick up the phone，Kev.”
我让他高兴
阿兰·科尔躺在床上，倾听着医院花园里的小鸟的鸣唱。现在外面基本上黑了，而且很静。他喜欢这样躺着，回忆过去。
他回想起安娜是怎样吻他，怎样注视他的双眼。他回想起她那棕红色的头发，蓝色的眼睛，柔软、干燥的唇感和她那深沉、开怀的笑。
在爆炸前的那天晚上，他和安娜去外面饭馆吃了顿饭。然后他们就去马厩看马。门卫知道她是他的女朋友，所以不认为有什么不寻常。阿兰想起，那天早晨有一匹叫山德曼的马伤了一条腿。晚上，那条马腿发热了，所以他就把冰敷在上面。幸运的山德曼，阿兰想——第二天它没能拉马车，所以现在还能活着。

当他驾着六匹好马拉的女王马车朝国会驶去时，他脑子里还想着安娜。有那么一瞬间，他觉得他在人群中看见了安娜，她正在观看……
阿兰不愿再往下想。他凝视着医院窗外漆黑的夜晚，想道：她为什么还不来看我呢？
外面，夜已经降临，鸟儿已不再鸣唱了。阿兰·科尔静静地躺在床上，眼泪顺着面颊慢慢地淌了下来。
简坐在房中的椅子上，听到那一男一女在厨房里争吵着什么。她听得见，却不能叫喊，也看不见，因为那个男的在她头上套了一个袋子。她的手脚还捆在椅子上，脸上被那男人打过的地方还在隐隐作痛。
她想把手挣脱出来。她使劲地往外拽着双手，可绳子只磨得她手腕火辣辣的。她唯一能做的就是侧耳倾听厨房里的讲话声。
“我们必须现在就给他打电话，凯夫。我们不能等了。”
“我们必须等。从这儿打电话太危险，安娜。等我们准备好走的时候再说。” 安娜！简想，这个人是不是爸爸的那个安娜？不，不，很多女人都叫安娜。 “但我们直到今晚才能走，”安娜说，“白天这儿周围人太多了。而且每一分钟都很重要！也许科尔已经跟警察说起我了。噢，上帝啊，真希望那颗炸弹将他和别人一块儿炸死！”
“唉，没有。而且连女王也没炸死。”
简的身体在发抖。这个人确实是她父亲的安娜！那个女人正在谈论她的父亲，还有炸弹。接着，简想起是在什么地方见过那个女人了。
国会大厦外，一个女人拿着照相机，生气地摇晃着。她给人们的后脑勺照相。她向前挤着，想靠近些，再次按下了照相机的快门……就在爆炸前一秒。
厨房里没声了。门开了，有人走进屋里。现在该怎么样了？ 简听到拉开枪栓的声音。
“您的电话，科尔先生。今天您可成名人了，不是吗？”护士微笑着，把电话桌推到床边，走了出去。
阿兰拿起电话。“喂？”
“科尔先生吗？我是大卫·荷尔警探。你一定记得，我昨天去看过你。我给你打电话是想再问你几个问题。我现在过去看你，行吗？”
“哦……哦，可以吧。可我什么都跟你说了。”
