The Mystery of the Secret Letter
Miss Minion 1: Mr. Blackard?
Blackard: Come in, Miss Minion.
Minion: I'm sorry to bother you, sir, but this envelope arrived for you.
Blackard: Who is it from?
Minion: I've no idea. Somebody apparently 2 left it while I was away from my desk.
Blackard: Hand it to Shakespeare, please, and thank you.
Minion: You're welcome, sir.
Shakespeare: It looks to be another anonymous 3 note.
Blackard: Well, what is it?
Shakespeare: "Dear Mr. Blackard, I wanted to thank you again for teaching the class. It went very well. Keep up the good work. Signed, your secret friend."
Blackard: Well!
Shakespeare: It looks like the same handwriting as the original anonymous note.
Blackard: Isn't that interesting? So, our secret sponsor is actually in the class!
Shakespeare: Or connected with someone in the class.
Blackard: Who might it be? I don't know them well enough to guess. They all seem too poor to give me that kind of money.
Shakespeare: It could be the parents of one of your students.
Blackard: True. It's a mystery, Shakespeare. And you know how mysteries make me feel.
Shakespeare: Nervous and sweaty.
Blackard: Exactly. This means I'm going to have to be nice to everyone in the class.

- She delegated the job to one of her minions.她把这份工作委派给她的一个手下。
- An apparently blind alley leads suddenly into an open space.山穷水尽，豁然开朗。
- He was apparently much surprised at the news.他对那个消息显然感到十分惊异。
