[00:15.10]Four Chaps in the Library
[00:22.57]图书馆的四个家伙
[00:37.97]Excessive gasps 1 left the mouths of Blake and Atkinson,
[00:42.60]whilst I myself remained silent and breathless.
[00:47.89]Rhodes-Fotheringham's features became hidden
[00:50.90]in the midst of an awful-smelling cloud of cigar smoke,
[00:55.54]providing an eerie 2 vision of his face,
[00:59.16]and at that moment I wondered
[01:01.23]whether he himself was a dreadful phantom 3.
[01:06.02]"Anyway," he continued,
[01:08.64]with the smoke drifting in the direction of the fireplace,
[01:12.57]"this chap could stand it no longer
[01:14.95]and subsequently decided 4 to take his own life
[01:18.16]by shooting himself in the head with a pistol.
[01:21.75]Now it is rumored 5 that he himself haunts that house."
[01:27.93]His two companions seemed quite unsettled by this story,
[01:32.78]and as the flames crackled in the hearth
[01:35.73]they each took a copious 6 mouthful of the brandy
[01:39.37]that was readily available nearby.
[01:43.13]Then Blake appeared to decide
[01:45.54]that he was not to be outdone by his friend.
[01:49.30]"That is a pretty gruesome tale, old chap,"
[01:52.52]he said in a quavering voice,
[01:55.36]"but allow me to relate the story of the man
[01:58.42]whose wife gave birth to an apparition 7."
[02:01.26]"By Jove!" exclaimed Rhodes-Fotheringham,
[02:04.85]with peculiar 8 puffed 9 cheeks.
[02:07.38]He appeared to be somewhat perturbed
[02:09.95]by Blake's proclamation,
[02:12.42]and I noticed how agitated 10 he became
[02:15.47]as his companion continued the tale.
