I swung from the balcony, my feet several feet above the fray, held suspended in an acutely painful fashion by Murphy's handcuffs, one loop around my wrist, the other locked around the balcony railing.
Я висел под антресолью в каких-то нескольких футах над верхней кромкой дыма. Мёрфин наручник, на которого приходился весь мой вес, больно резал запястье.
