The Three Investigators Fast step (1)

The Three Investigators  Fast step (1)

BOB ANDREWS parked his bike outside his home in Rocky beach and entered the house.

As he closed the door, his mother called to him from the kitchen.
" Robert ? Is that you ? "

" Yes, Mom. " He went to kitchen door. His mother, brown-haired and slender, was making doughnuts. 

" How was the library ? "she said.

" It was okay, " Bob told her. After all, there was never any excitement at the library.
He worked there part time, sorting returned books and helping with filing and cataloguing.

" Your friend Jupiter called."
His mother went on rolling out the dough on a board.
" He left a message for you. "

" A message ? " Bob yelled with sudden excitement.
" What was it ? "

I wrote it down. I'll get it out of my pocket as soon as I finish with this dough. "

" Can't you remember what he said ? he may need me. "

" I could remember an ordinary message, " his mother answered,but jupiter doesn't leave ordinary messages. It was something fantastic. "

The three Investigators は著作権の現存する著作物です（当然、写してはいけません）が、その第１巻The Secret of Terror Castle の、最初のイントロ部分だけ(165ページ中の最初の数ページ)を、人物紹介ならびに、本＆物語の英文ご紹介のため、少しだけお出ししてみたいと思います。実際の３人の活躍部分は、まだほとんど出て来ませんが・・・。
