9天之后,罗尔夫被派去寻找。不过他对干草堆没有兴趣,却在旁边的小坑里嗅了起来。几分钟后,他就找到了那只手表。原来是有人将一堆干草推到那个坑里了。
罗尔夫也并非一直很成功,但是每次他都很尽力,有的时候又太尽力了。斯文曾经因为罗尔夫没有找到一只手表而训斥了他。罗尔夫走了,不一会儿他就衔着那只丢失的手表凯旋而归。而在他的后面跟着一个怒气冲冲、半**身体的男人。那个人嚷嚷道:“我正在穿衣服,这只狗就用他的脑袋戳门,从桌子上衔起我的手表就跑,他是个贼!”
安德森的房间里从未丢失过任何东西。罗尔夫会从地上捡起硬币、钉子、扣子。斯文将一个勺子放在地板上,然后将在隔壁的罗尔夫叫过来,他命令罗尔夫躺下。我们继续交谈,罗尔夫不理解我们在说什么。几分钟之后他站了起来,衔着勺子来到主人的身边。
毋庸置疑,安德森与罗尔夫是一对很好的搭档,并且互相理解。当罗尔夫在一次工作中失败了,斯文就会整晚不眠,脑子里反复思考着他们在事发现场的搜寻工作。他经常起床带着罗尔夫再次回到失败地,凭借手电筒的微光在那里寻找。
“夜晚很安静,”他说道,“那是寻找东西的最佳时刻。”而且通常他们都能成功。“当我们找到失物的时候,”他说,“再也没有比这更开心的事情了。我不知道罗尔夫和我谁更高兴,之后我会放松自己,直到电话再一次响起!”
