Lesson 24-1 Askeleton in the cupboard

We often read innovels how a seemingly respectable person or family has some terrible secretwhich has been concealed from strangers for years. The English languagepossesses a vivid saying to describe this sort of situation. The terriblesecret is called 'a skeleton in the cupboard'. At some dramatic moment in thestory, the terrible secret becomes known and a reputation is ruined. Thereader's hair stands on end when he reads in the final pages of the novel thatthe heroine a dear old lady who had always been so kind to everybody, had, inher youth, poisoned every one of her five husbands.

It is all verywell for such things to occur in fiction. To varying degrees, we all havesecrets which we do not want even our closest friends to learn, but few of ushave skeletons in the cupboard. The only person I know who has a skeleton inthe cupboard is George Carlton, and he is very pound of the fact. Georgestudied medicine in his youth. Instead of becoming a doctor, however, he becamea successful writer of detective stories.
