进阶段-化身博士（简写版第4集-跟读版）

But， you see，I had takena violent dislike to the short man.So had the child's family—that was only natural.But the doctor， who seemed a quiet， kindly man， was also looking at our prisoner with murder in his eyes.

'The doctor and I understood each other perfectly.Together we shouted at the man， and told him we would tell this story all over London so that his name would be hated.

'He looked back at us with a proud，black look.“Name your price，”he said.

'We made him agree to a hundred pounds for the child' s family. With another black look， the man led us to that door over there.He took out a key and let himself into the building.Presently he came out and handed us ten pounds in gold and a cheque for ninety pounds from Coutts's Bank. The name on the cheque was a well-known one.

'“See here，”said the doctor doubtfully，“it isn't usual for a man to walk into an empty house at four in the morning and come out with another man's cheque for nearly a hundred pounds.”

'“Don't worry，”said the man with an ugly look，“I'll stay with you until the banks open，and change the cheque myself.”

'So we all went off， the doctor and the prisoner and myself，and spent the rest of the night at my house.In the morning we went together to the bank. Sure enough， the cheque was good， and the money was passed to the child's family.

'Well，well，'said Mr Utterson.
