16、情况。惊人的秘密被称作“柜中 骷髅”。在小说的某个戏剧性时刻，可怕的秘密泄漏出来，接着便是某人的声誉扫地。当读 者读到小说最后几页了解到书中女主人公， 那位一向待大家很好的可爱的老妇人年轻时一连 毒死了她的 5 个丈夫时，不禁会毛骨悚然。 这种事发生在小说中是无可非议的。 尽管我们人人都有各种大小秘密， 连最亲密的朋友 都不愿让他们知道， 但我们当中极少有人有柜中骷髅。 我所认识的唯一的在柜中藏骷髅的人 便是乔治 卡尔顿，他甚至引以为自豪。乔治年轻时学过医，然而，他后来没当上医生，却 成了一位成功的侦探小说作家。有一次，我在他家里度周末，过得很不愉快。这事我永远不 会忘记。 乔治把我领进客房，
17、 说这间房间很少使用。 他让我打开行装后下楼吃饭。 我将衬衫、 内衣放进两个空抽屉里， 然后我想把随身带来的两套西服中的一套挂到大衣柜里去。 我打开 柜门，站在柜门前一下子惊呆了。一具骷髅悬挂在眼前，由于柜门突然打开，它也随之轻微 摇晃起来， 让我觉得它好像马上要跳出柜门朝我扑过来似的。 我扔下西服冲下楼去告诉乔治。 这是比“骇人听闻的秘密”更加惊人的东西， 这是一具真正的骷髅啊！ 但乔治却无动于衷。 “噢， 是它呀！他笑着说道，俨然在谈论一位老朋友。“那是塞巴斯蒂安。你忘了我以前是学医的 了。” 四：语法填空练习四：语法填空练习 Calligraphy, the art of writing
