"Officer officer That man is certainly trespassing but the young lady is my friend" | Doka Doka bagi nadodana wunga e gbin doka tuo amma yentsugi nana yi eya mi |
Pam’s ex-husband was taken away as soon as the constable’s colleague appeared and Daisy was invited inside the cottage to clean up and have a hot cup of cocoa | Eba Pam afe lukpekpe kede doka tetengi dzunbe na kuma Daisy yi gadan emi ke wunbyu fin shayi na |
Well that was a bit of luck said Daisy | toh nana fe saa degi Daisy fe gan |
To be able to film him looking in your window at night and have the whole scene witnessed by the police
mi jin tunani gan woya de damuwa ndondo eba jim bobya ,I don’t think you’ll be having any more trouble from Jim! | mi ku wunwo wen shiye chi tagagi wole be yeshi kuma de kpata yendondo de eli be doka e |
Next morning at about eleven Daisy arrived in her office to find a fresh bunch of flowers in a vase on her desk | yeli tsakani efin guwo be nini Daisy fe tun etunba u wunfe le flower dzwandzwanyi ye dan dukun bo ta esa yun bo |
Nearby was a little note written in pencil | kapau bo aka eyan degi be alkalami |
"Thanks Daisy thanks again Pam | kubetin Daisy kubetin be |
PS I’ve put a pot of homemade greengage jam in your fridge"takada kwankwana | PS minya dukun kunu ladan fridge wobo |
It was raining on and off all that afternoon and as she had nothing much to do Daisy wandered into the low-price bookshop in the arcade | wunfe tule lo kezhin kpata igidi wunchin kuma wunde yendondo na wanjin na Daisy fe za dan shago tetengi ndochyo |
She loved looking at books and often found some wonderful bargains there | wun woman takada chinle kuma fondondo wey de wangizhi zhi bagao |
Daisy preferred non-fiction books travel plays but also liked to discover an author of detective stories she had never heard of before | Daisy fe wa takada najin gamana na etan edzozhi amma wen wa wun lu ke eyankachi yan etan doka nawun la leye lya na |
Soon Daisy had a huge pile of books she wanted to buy and tried to calculate how much they would all cost | ekadegi Daisy de takada zhe egwa u wunfe wan shi kuma wen wa ba wokin na wunga yi kpata na |
That’s nearly four pounds for the medical book plus three for the American book on Sociology two cookery books at p each two pounds ninety for the travel book o
mi ha takada nana shi eti chigbe gargajiye minya wu woni eshi be guta e kawai,If I buy this book on natural cures as well I’ll be spending just under twenty-th... | wunyi ke woni guni na ya takada chigbejinchinzhi be guta yan takada nasara ya rayuwa guba yan takada taadda yi gbanwo dinni guba ndondo tisin ebo ezan dan o |
Daisy counted what she had in her purse | Daisy fe ba ena fi nanbu bona |
She never used her credit card to buy clothes or books as she was afraid she wouldn’t have enough for emergencies | wunla taba jin anfanni be credit card na wunga shi ewo ko takadazhi na ebo na wen sudan wande dokun ke yan kadara a |
Luckily Daisy found that she had more than forty pounds with her | be sayin Daisy fe leke wunde har woni shiba ke danbyiuyin |
By now she couldn’t carry all these heavy books around the shop and decided to ask the indifferent young man at the pay desk | gbani wunku kpata takada lukpin nanazhiwa wunche la shawura ke wungbin bagi ndochi gan bana e kunya na |
Daisy climbed down the spiral staircase to the children’s section and second-hand books but she couldn’t find anything interesting there | Daisy fe gunta kata fiti ebachi kapa dzakangizhi kuma takada konjozhi amma wun le yendondo ne faye naya |
She climbed up the stairs again and proceeded to the back of the shop where the section of war could be found | wunfe gunta katafiti be kuma wunfelo zuman yan shago bana eyan ekun fi na |
Daisy had to crouch down to see the titles on the bottom shelf | Daisy fe yakpe ebo wun le sunna yan takada kinzhi ye |
Mm can’t see much here to interest me she thought | mm mile yendondo yefa ye babwa awunfe jin tunani |
The inlaid carpeting was pretty old and very dustyProbably no one ever cleaned the shop | tadduma wan kuku kuma wan ku rufukede zandondo la wun shago nana lya na |
Daisy hated to see bookshops which were not cared for | Daisy jin kyama wunle shago takada ye shikan ala eye dan wan |
So many bookshops had gone this way and shut down never to be reopened again | shago tokun zhi da aniga kuma utsu nan a taba kpe bya na |
At the end of the bookcase were the big illustrated war books with famous faces on them | zonti yan emi takada bana takada wunchikokozhi eti etan yan ekunzhi be fuskazhi kpe na |
"Oh that might be interesting" Daisy said to herself seeing a book written by an ex-SAS soldier | oh nanazhi ma faye Daisy fe gan be etiuyin lileye takada nan tsofo soja ka na |
Daisy spied a fold-up chair in the corner opened it up and sat down on it to look at the book | Daisy fe la esa finfachi kpa o wunfe kpeu kuma wun fedun tau wun chi takada wunchiun le |
As she read through descriptions of desperate journeys in pitiful conditions Daisy suddenly became aware of muffled voices | na wunfe gbau na bayyani yan ezanzhi yan tausayizhi daisy fe wo murya wawagizhi |
She looked around but there was nobody near her in the shop so she went back to her reading | wunfe chibaleza amma ade zandondo na tsobu shago na wunmanfe zheban ga gba takada |
Now she heard a woman shouting and a man replying in an aggressive tone | gbani wunfe wo nyigagi wundochi fe kpogun kuma bagi fe zhiugan be bere yan fushi |
Somebody’s got their television turned up rather high next door she thought | zandochi a TV yan bun dan be kara dokun wunjin tunani |
Then there was silence | sai bandondo a jin shiru |
And then again the man’s voice bellowed out ugly sounds but still Daisy wasn’t able to distinguish the words | sai kuma be bere yan bagi fe la murya mumuna be amma daisy yegan wan kperi eganzhia |
Daisy’s intuition popped up again | Daisy fe jin kashkash be |
That isn’t the television at all That’s something that’s really happening If only I could hear what they’re saying!
kashi ade grille dan shampa o kpa takadashampa o?,Could it be there’s a grille here in the wall hidden by the wallpaper?" | wunjin Tv danna yendochi wunge jin faruwa o abeke mi ga wo ena e gan na |
Daisy realised that the sounds were coming from behind her legs and climbed down onto her knees | Daisy fe kanzhin ke ewuti e fefe be dagan zuman yan bichiubo wunfe kpekura |
I’ll try to pull that wallpaper away from the wall she said to herself | miya jin kokari min din takadashampa dagan shampa o wunfe gan be etiuyin |
She pulled at the edge of the wallpaper where it met the floor and the horrible inlaid carpeting | wunfe din kapa yan takadashampa bana wunjin gunmin be kinyin na kuma dadduma na tagya na |
It came unstuck easily and there it was - an air passage grille | wunfe lo zunni kuma undo na-ebana efe dana |
Now Daisy could hear exactly what they were saying | gbani Daisy fewo ena ganan wangi yin |
Let me go let me go! a woman’s voice shrieked | lugwa minlo lugwa minlo nyizagi ndochi fegan be bere dasun |
"Give me all the money and your rings and no more shouting otherwise I’ll slit your throat" threatened the rough voice | la ewo we kpata yami to ruka kuma ade egunkpo bya kokuma miga koro wey ba bere wuruwuru nchi fegan |
It must be that antique shop next door thought Daisy " | wanyin shago eyan esagi na dan kpa yigboro na Daisy fe jin tunai be etiuyin |
A woman is being attacked and robbed by some thug" | nyizagi ndochi wunge yi eyan uzhio be garadachi yan o |
Daisy realised she had no time to lose and although she felt frightened she knew she couldn’t leave the woman to her fate | Daisy fe kpegan wunde lokachi na wan nyiya na kuma wunfe sundan wunkpe wogan wanya nyizagi nnana achyian be kadara u yan |
kuma wunfe kpagun yi doka gbani a yiyan kpako yigboro | wunfe sanni lo eba gbarufu na fejin yendochi na |
The young man simply stared at Daisy so she pushed him to get at the phone and called them herself | gbarufu fe chin Daisy le wunfe daugwa ebo na wango waya u na na wunga yin doka be etiuyin na |
This is Daisy Hamilton speaking I’m at the Find All Bookshop
yigbe zhe yi yan shago yaneyansagi kpako yigboro, There is a robbery taking place in the antiques shop next door | Daisy ge gan gan omi dan Find ALL shago takada o |
" "I’m going in there now Please hurry" | mi ye wa lo baga gbani bosoko sanni |
Then Daisy turned to the young man "Have you got anything on antiques?" | sai daisy fe zheloba gbarufu wode yandondo dan shago eyansagizhio? |
Still speechless the youth pointed over to the right | wansheganke bagi wunchin fe ta egwa wu gwaro |
Daisy seized an illustrated book on nineteenth century antiques and rushed out of the shop | Daisy fe fe takada bayyani la eti th century eyansagizhio wunfe sanni tinya shago |
Daisy walked into the shop next door as calmly as possible apparently with her head in her antiques book | Daisy fe gadan shago kpako yigboro karayin zahiri waneti sodan takada |
" Nobody was there but she heard muffled movements which came from an inner room and called out "Excuse me anyone there?" | zandondo dan baga bwa amma wunwo bere wawagi nafe tinya dagan ni yan kata o na kuma wunfe gan afuwa zhidan baga bo |
A pale elderly women came through the door with a thuggish-looking young man close behind her | nyizagi kukugi undochi fe tinya kpako be ezan ke daragachi gbarufu na ba kasan u bo |
The lady’s voice trembled and said"Good afternoon can I help you?" | bere yan nyizagi fekun kuma wunfegan kube igidi ki minya jinya woyo? |
Daisy pretended not to have even seen the man and improvised | Daisy fe jin wayo ke wunla le bagi wunchi yana |
"I’ve been reading this book and I saw just the right sort of writing desk I’ve been looking for | mi fe gba takada nana kuma mi fe le esan daidai irin na miye waza ne ye |
Have you got something like this? I think it’s Georgian | wode yendochi na be nana nan?mi jin tunani ke gerogion na |
Daisy showed the lady a picture not of a writing desk but of a chair and held it in a way so that the man couldn’t see it | daisy fe la foto wu yentsugi wunchin wunjin yan esan a amma yan esa kuma wun la kena ndachia leya na |
The lady was bewildered to see the photo of a chair instead of a writing desk | yentsugi wunchin fe jin mamaki na wun le foto yan esa ye wunjin yan esa yanka na |
The man had his hand in his pocket as though holding a weapon but made an effort to appear casual and sat down | bagi wunchin wa egwa u lada dzufan o kede wen wa wa bidinga na amma wanjin ke wunkpe yendondoa na kuma wan fedun |
" As he did this Daisy winked at the shop-owner who replied "No I’m sorry I haven’t got anything in this style" | ke wunjin achina Daisy fe ba shago tso eye wun fezhe min de yendondo irin esan nana |
Daisy insisted "If something comes your way could you let me know? | Daisy a jin nachewa yendochi ga be bawe wa gan gan yami? |
"I’ll write down my address and telephone number" | mi ga number waya fe be emi mi ka |
Daisy wrote Please don’t be frightened The police are on their way I won’t leave you alone" | Daisy fe ka bosoko ga sudan man dokazhi dan yeko be miya yawe gbugya |
The lady read the message and looked up at Daisy in a knowing way | yentsugi wunchi fe chi Daisy le ke wun kpiuye na |
"But I’ve got something else which might suit your purpose | amma mi de yendochi na woya faye na |
Would you like to see it? It’s there in the shop window | woya wagan woyo lyiuye? wundan nin yan tagagi shago |
In this way the two women got nearer to the shop entrance | achiga nyizagi gubaba fe tsoba eko misun ya shago |
The thug was still sitting in the chair with his hand in his pocket but studying both of them intensely | garadachi nana ma fedun ta esa o be egwauyin dan dzufan o amma wun fe chi zagubaba le wangiyin |
The fingers on his right hand were twitching nervously | egwa dindingiuzhi fekun be dasun e |
Daisy then noticed there was a massive wardrobe parked in the middle of the shop and awaited the right moment | Daisy fe leye ke ade kpati wunchiko dan mini tatachin yan shago kuma wunfe ga lokachi gboro |
The shop-keeper continued the conversation about antique furniture and Daisy pretended to be interested in what she said | shagotso felo be eza eti eyansagi esanzhi i kuma Daisy fe jin wayo ke wen woman egan u na |
Suddenly two policemen burst into the shop and Daisy pulled the shop-owner with her behind the wardrobe | keagana doka guba fe bangun shago kuma Daisy fe din shagotso lo zuman kpati o |
She peeped round the left side of it to see what was happening | wun fe shiye chi kapa gwapin le bo wunle enazhe jin faruwa naye |
The thug jumped up and threatened the police with a nasty-looking knife | garadachi fe fu nakin kuma jin barazana loba doka be ebi nukan ndochi |
Everybody stood completely still for a few seconds then Daisy threw the antiques book towards a stool six feet to the right of the thief | zandondo fe gikini chip ke secon degina sai Diasy fe che takada eyansagi lo eba esa bichi gutswayin lo gwapin yan garadachi |
He was momentarily distracted and looked to where the noise had come from which gave the two policemen the opportunity to leap on him | wunfe zhi kuma wunfe chibana unwo kara na le wunga ya doka guba nana dama na awun nao |
One policeman knocked the knife from the man’s hand and the other handcuffed him immediately | doka nini fe fe ebigo egwan ndawunchion kuma wunfe dan ankwa zuni |
It was all over in a couple of minutes | wanzoti kpata mini lokachi degio |
Daisy picked up the antiques book and suggested having a hot cup of tea | Daisy fe la takada eyansagi kuma wunfe jin shawura fifin shayi yipa |
The two women sat down still shaking a little from their experiences | nyizagi gubaba che fedun nakanzhi fekun tosun ebo ena jin faruwa e na |
The elderly lady shook Daisy’s hand warmly | nyizagi kukugi wunchin fe ya Daisy egwa wawayi |
Thank you thank you my dear young lady Oh my goodness I was really terrified But how did you realise I was in trouble? | kubetin kubetin masoyi yentsugi oh wangi nyanmin mi ya sudan sarayin amma ke wo kpekpe ke min dan damuwa o na? |
" "Let me introduce myself my dear My name is Lena Fields Just call me Lena - and may I know your name please?" | lugwa mi ji eti minye masoyi sunna minye ye lena fields yimi lena kawai kuma miya kpe sunna woye bosoko? |
Daisy found Lena a very charming woman | Daisy le lena ye nyizagi kirki |
She had the style of a world which didn’t exist any more and a distinct accent which showed she had been born far away | wun de rayuwa yizhe iri na danbo bya na kuma ezhimi iri na lawu ke amunman eba na lokpa na |
When Daisy told Mrs Fields she was a private eye they both started giggling They didn’t know why but it was good to relieve the tension | na Daisy ganya mrs fileds wunyin eye na so na ache mantsan akpe na lana amma wange na wankun dasun keya na |
When they had both recovered Daisy grew more serious | na azhin na daisy fe nan be egan e |
Lena I’d like to give you some advice You have no alarm in your shop
woleye ke wogan egan nan chile wola nini wa ala danbo ya woya, "Don’t you think you should look into the matter and have one fitted?" | lena mi ya wagan minya we shawura wode eyan kara dan shago wo bwa |
"Yes I will it mustn’t happen again Nothing had ever happened to me in this country and I felt safe | a miga achiga jin achya yejin bya ade ena jin faruwa irin nana na kinmi nan kuma miya fo |
By the way Daisy are you really interested in a writing desk or did you make that up on the spur of the moment? | amma Daisy lallai wey wa esan eyanka kashi wo de gan yon gan ebo nyi lokachi ya |
"Yes I did" Daisy smiled | a miye wa Daisy mutsan |
If that is the case I would like to see your hands if I may | ayi achiga yo miya wagan mijin anfanni be egwa woyin |
Mrs Fields pulled a ruby ring off her finger and slipped it on Daisy’s little finger | mrs fields fe wa ruka egwa o bo wunche wudan egwa tintinko yan Daisy o |
Do you like it? | wan ba we?" |
Daisy was astonished "Of course I do but" | Daisy a jin mamaki a gaskiya wan bami amma |
No don’t protest I have no children and you saved me today from a horrible experience
kuma wan sa dan egwa wobo egan man zo achiga,Besides it looks nice on your hand That’s the end of the matter" | aa ga gbomio man mide egi ndondo a kuma waminbo yina dagan eyan dede o |
Daisy felt quite overcome with the generosity of this lady | Daisy fe wo nimman boroyin fi yegban be ndaloke yan nyizagi nana |
