We found that bar at last. I didn ' t have to ask again, for there it was in big red neon letters over the window-Star Bar. There were some iron tables outside with plastic chairs around them. A few people sat around, looking at a portable television set that someone had brought out of the bar.
They were all in thin summer dresses or short shirts; even at that late hour it was stifling. Two thin dogs lay under one of the tables with their tongues out, and some of the women were fanning them-selves unenthusiastically (无精打采地 ) with magazines.
" He ' s not here , " I said , after a quick look around. The television was speaking out an adver- tisement for a detergent(洗衣粉) , and the people sitting round had their eyes glued to the picture of a woman proudly showing how white her husband' s underwear was after having been washed.They took no notice of us at all. .
" Well, what did you expect?" replied Fergus, yawning(打呵欠 ) . " It ' s only half past nine,
and he said he would be here at nine. You ought to know Graig by this time. He' ll turn up some-
time after ten. "
