SAT阅读小说:UNCLE SILAS系列
He had odd, absent ways, and talked more to himself, I believe, than to all the rest of the world put together.
She wont understand, he whispered, looking at me enquiringly. No, she wont. Will she?
Then there was a pause, during which he brought forth from his breast pocket a small bunch of some half-dozen keys, on one of which he looked frowningly, every now and then balancing it a little before his eyes, between his finger and thumb, as he deliberated.

They areyesI had better do it another wayanother way; yesand shell not suspectshell not suppose.
