He had been alone in this room awaiting our arrival. Ihad no doubt that he had been passing the time by snooping among Poirot’s papers. What a youngcrook the fellow was! I felt myself burning with indignation.,Charles himself was in a most cheerful mood.,Only accredited journalists were allowed entry. 只有正式认可的记者才获准入内。,The witnesses were each perfectly certain of what they said.证人们个个对自己所说的话十分肯定 。
