Hint:
        Mc Allister
       
       
When he had exterminated the last threat of fire, the owners came in. The exuberant celebrations of previous days were forgotten as they felt the loss of each facet of their precious club. They had hoped that the damage would be only external, but now, as they extracted themselves from the ruins, they knew that they would have to start over from scratch. Looking at Mc Allister they extolled him for his extra attempt to save the club. Mc Allister apologized and shared his views that he would come back if they fixed the place up again. They both fabricated weak smiles and left, determined to rebuild again.他消除了大火的最后一点儿威胁之后，主人们进来了。他们对他们的宝贝俱乐部各方面所受的损失深感痛心，昔日的欢歌笑语都成了过眼云烟。他们原指望火灾损失只限于俱乐部外部，但现在，他们抽身离开火灾留下的残垣断壁时，他们明白了他们得从头开始。看着麦克阿利斯特，他们表扬了他为抢救俱乐部所做出的额外的努力。麦克阿利斯特向他们表示歉意，并告诉他们——假如他们把这个地方修好，他会再来的。双方都强装微笑，而后各自散去，不过他们都下定决心重建这家俱乐部。
