The Adventure Of The Dancing Men (3)

 

 

매주 금요일마다 찾아오는 Joy of Reading! 
영어 읽기의 즐거움을 느껴 보세요. 

1. You had chalk between your left finger and thumb when you returned from the club last night.
2. You put chalk there when you play billiards to steady the cue.
3. You never play billiards except with Thurston.
4. You told me four weeks ago that Thurston had an option on some South African property which would expire in a month, and which he desired you to share with him.
5. Your Cheque-book is locked in my drawer, and you have not asked for the key.
6. You do not propose to invest your money in this manner."
"How absurdly simple!" I cried.
"Quite so!" said he, a little nettled. "Every problem becomes very childish when once it is explained to you. Here is an unexplained one. See what you can make of that, friend Watson."
