埃特里克
Ettrick
埃特里克是开尔文昔日的同伴，一个野心勃勃、行事鲁莽的人。在一场募捐活动上，他曾当众闹出一场风波，此后便不知所终。
“你那个在募捐活动上闹事的朋友后来怎么样了？他叫爱德华，或者埃德加，反正就是这个名字”
“Whatever happened to your friend that caused a scene at your fundraiser? His name was Edward, Edgar, something like that”
开尔文从北极归来、回到纽约后，曾四处寻找这位旧友，却发现他仿佛人间蒸发。
“我不知道。我回到纽约后试着找过他，但他好像人间蒸发了一样”
“I don't know. I tried to find him when I returned to New York but it's like he's vanished.”
据说，开尔文曾因埃特里克的野心而与之疏远，可日后依旧沦为自己野心的奴隶。他甚至宣称，若真有人要取他性命，也只会是埃特里克。
“你为了埃特里克的野心而疏远了他，却仍然沦为自己野心的奴隶”
“You pushed away Ettrick for his ambitions, yet remained a slave to your own.”
“如果有人要对付我，那也只会是埃特里克，不会是你…”
“If someone's going to kill me, it's going to be Ettrick, not you…”
在开尔文写给婆婆的书信里，这个名字出现过许多次；然而当婆婆问起他的下落，开尔文只答不知道，对追问也避而不谈。
“你信里写了那么多的那个埃特里克家伙，后来怎么样了？”译
“Whatever happened to that Ettrick fellow you wrote so much about?”
