11. Lady in the Dark黑暗中的太太After Victor CanningTEXTFrom the other side of the road he saw the only lighted window on the third floor go black. His eyes came down to the big door, the entrance to the building. The light came warmly through there into the cold of the evening. 他在马路对过看见三层楼上唯一亮着灯的窗户黑了。他的目光从上往下移到大门上-那座建筑物的入口。从那儿射出的灯光在寒冷的夜晚显得暖和。After a little time a girl passed through the door, stopped at the top of the steps and pulled her coat close round her. He watched her come down the steps, turn to the left and disappear along the road. He had plenty of time. He knew that she would be gone for two hours. He knew a great many things.

He knew exactly the arrangement of the rooms in the flat. Four months age the flat on the floor below was empty and he looked over it. 他转动门把手，走进房门。佣人外出时，这道门从来不上锁，因为老太太不喜欢让人把自己锁在屋里。要是按铃叫看门人来吧，她又不愿意过去开门，她这样的年龄，这样的身体也不容许她这么做。 他对这套房间的布置了解得一清二楚。4 个月以前，下面一层的那套房间没人住，他已经仔细察看过了。He crossed the hall to the door of the sitting room.
