Nu un pati pasāža, pie kuras man sākumā pacēlās abas uzacis:

I make an effort to compose myself. ‘It’s about the Sunday we went to the auction,’ I say. ‘There’s a chance a detective from Spilling Police might get in touch with you and ask you if my car was missing a mirror that day. A wing mirror.’

[..]

‘If you’re asked, can you please, please tell the police my car had both its mirrors when I drove you to and from the auction?’ I say. Now I’m begging: a little treat for Melissa’s ego. I hope she enjoys it, since it’s unlikely to happen again. ‘I know it was irresponsible of me to drive to London, then Grantham, then back to London with a missing wing mirror. It’s not something I make a habit of doing, and, honestly, I’ll never do it again if you’ll help me get the cops off my back just this once.’ I put on my best desperate-sinner-praying-for-mercy face. It’s probably indistinguishable from my normal everyday expression, come to think of it.

‘No. No.’ Melissa’s shaking her head as she pours milk into a mug for me. She looks scared, as if she thinks I might be able to force her to agree. ‘I’m not lying to the police for you, Nicki. No way.’

Es visticamāk nezvanītu. Man visi sūdi paliek 12.mājā, kur, laikam arī draugiem, nav pieeja.

Manuprāt tas citāts ļoti būtiski atšķiras no situācijas uzdotajā jautājumā, bet Tev konteksts labāk zināms.

Nu varbūt, ja māsa vai brālis lūgtu, domāju, ka es varētu saņemties, ja meli ir salīdzinoši vienkārši.

Bet nu mani arī bez melu detektora var viegli atmaskot.

Bet es domāju par to Tavu sašutumu. Drošības pēc pārjautāšu, sašutums ir par to, ka pajautāja samelot vai atteica samelot?!

Protams, protams, citāts ir izrauts no konteksta un situācija ir nepatīkamāka par vienkārši nolauztu spogulīti. Tikai cilvēks, kam jautā, to nezina. Un jā, es pilnīgi un absolūti negaidīju atbildi "nē", tāpēc arī afigel.
