Presently the tocsin call of "Clara!" sounded to the world the state of Miss Leeson's purse. A dark goblin seized her, mounted a Stygian stairway, thrust her into a vault with a glimmer of light in its top and muttered the menacing and cabalistic words "Two dollars!"   这是欧亨利的《带天窗的房间》节选。

书上是这么翻译的：没过多久，突然一声“克拉拉”，像是发出了警钟，于是全世界都知道了莉森小姐钱包里的状况。

一个黑皮肤的小鬼抓住了她，带她爬上黑幽幽的梯子，把她推进一个只有顶上才能透出一丝光亮的拱顶屋子，嘟哝出了几个神秘而又险恶的字眼“两美元！”

困惑：

对于这一句：Presently the tocsin call of "Clara!" sounded to the world the state of Miss Leeson's purse 中的 the state of Miss Leeson's purse - 

为什么句子没有谓语？
