"他没有吗？"科尔说。"那谁有罪？"

I bet he thought your special flavor was interesting, so he mentioned it to Mrs. Sweet."

旁白 neutral

He frowned." But wait

他皱起眉头。“可是等等。

旁白 neutral

If this is just a misunderstanding, why did Mrs. Sweet behave so suspiciously when we talked to her earlier?"

如果这只是个误会，为什么我们之前和她谈话时，斯威特太太表现得那么可疑？”

旁白 neutral

" That's right," a voice said from the door

“没错，”门口传来一个声音。

旁白 neutral

" It was only circumstantial evidence," Maggie said

旁白 neutral

Mrs. Sweet laughed." In any case, you three are welcome to all the free ice cream you can eat for the rest of the summer."

斯威特太太笑了。"不管怎么说，整个夏天剩下的日子里，你们三个都可以免费吃冰激凌，想吃多少都行。"
