XXI. a) Read and translate the text:

On Thursday evenings the two librarians at the library in Benham, Pamela Cream and Violet Meade were to work until nine o'clock. The girls didn't mind staying late; in their small town there was very little for two unmarried girls to do anything. That's why when Inspector Ellis of the local police offered to give judo lessons to anybody who wanted them, Pamela was the first to enrol. She began learning judo exactly as she did everything else, thoroughly and with great interest. She always insisted on doing her best. She was a small woman, but in judo that does not matter. She was healthy, strong and brave. If not really beautiful she was pleasant to look at and no wonder Inspector Timothy Ellis fell in love with his best pupil. They were to get married soon.

That Thursday Tim was to call for her at nine o'clock to take her out to dinner. It was already eight-thirty and Pamela was returning the books to the shelves, while Violet was serving the remaining readers.

When Pamela was passing the windows near the back door she noticed that the blind was up. She tried to pull it down, but it kept rolling to the top of the window, making a very loud noise. At last Pamela managed somehow to make it stay down, then went to the next aisle. To her greatest surprise she saw two men there. "Oh," she said, "I'm sorry, gentlemen, but readers are not allowed in this section of the library!" "I'm sorry, Miss," said the smaller of the two men with an ugly face, who seemed as surprised as Pamela, "we didn't know it." The other man, much larger than the one who spoke stood with his back to Pamela, leaning against the shelves. The smaller man said: "I'm afraid my friend is feeling rather weak. He wants some fresh air. Could you help me take him out, Miss?" "Oh, I'm so sorry," said Pamela and put her arm about the bigger man who was quite heavy. The smaller man took his friend by the other arm and the three of them started moving slowly to the back door. Suddenly Pamela stopped in horror. She saw blood on the man's coat. Looking at him closely she saw he was dead. The truth flashed in her mind. "You... you killed him... here, in our library!" "Aren't you a smart young lady!" hissed the short man angrily, "go on helping me and avoid attracting attention, or you'll get what Blackie got." Pamela obeyed. They were in front of the window when suddenly Pamela had an idea. That new judo hold that Tim had taught her, maybe it would work! She must take her chance. That murderer was very dangerous, one more dead body that could well be her own wouldn't make him lose sleep. Oh, if only the hold worked!

Her hand touched the window blind. It went up with a loud noise. The man, greatly surprised by it, dropped Blackies arm and Pamela let go of the other arm. The heavy body fell to the floor. The murderer snatched out a knife and rushed at Pamela, who was ready for him...

When the frightened people from the library came running into the back room they saw two men lying on the floor and white-faced Pamela standing over the unconscious murderer...

(After George P. McCallum's
